Fact checking for fun. quote:
ORIGINAL: Greta75 Why shouldn't I hate all things Muslim? Being a Muslim means that you are legally allowed to beat your wife and encouraged. TRUE, if you take out the word LEGAL. Violence to a spouse is accepted in several passage of the Qur'an. In SHARIA LAW, it is legal. But Sharia Law is not about Islam anymore than trying to end abortion is actually about Christianity. It's about controlling other people. I assume you know that Old Testament also says this, too. And up until 1994, hitting your wife was just as legal in America. (Cops did intervene before that, but were not required to under a Federal law-- that was left open, state-to-state.) quote:
Being Muslims means that, you are allowed to marry pre-puberscent children who haven't menstruate yet, and they even have divorce laws to take care of how you can properly divorce your pre-puberscent wife after you get sick of fucking her. TRUE, again, if you mean under Sharia Law. Obviously, not legal in countries that do not follow Sharia Law. Age of consent in America has not always been 18; there's some fascinating info here about the history of the Age of Consent everywhere. quote:
Being Muslim means that, you want to put LGBT people to death. FALSE. Not all Muslims want to put LGBT people to death. Nor is that central to Islam. The Qur'an in fact teaches tolerance and 'you work on you' concepts, much as the New Testament tells people not to throw stones, whilst assholes line up the Leviticus all the time. quote:
Being Muslim means that they want to kill their Ex-Muslims, anybody who enters Islam and wants to leave must be killed. FALSE, again, same as before. Like Christians. the goal is always to share 'the good word' and convert others, but only radicals want to kill people who leave the religion, just as only Christian radicals want to kill those who turn their back on the faith. quote:
What's not to hate? What is positive about that religion precisely? Because of all the negatives above-- it's true that there are places where these hideous ways are considered normal-- you have every right to show up and say, "I'm never gonna give Islam a chance." It's just that you are lumping all of the good in with all of the bad, and accusing innocents of the crimes of others. I am done with all religion. But I don't hate Jews, or Christians, or Muslims, or Hindus, or Buddhists, or Odinists, or Pagans. To me, it's all a lot of crap and myths and moral judgments that ask me to fear the afterlife and make this life considerably harder for myself. There are nice things to take from all religions, but I grow weary of how often religion is used to tell someone else who to be for another person's comfort and convenience-- how often people use it to justify horror and hatred. I'm a lot more interested in how a church treats its community and its followers than what it can do for me in the afterlife. You have been strongly turned against Muslims, and likely do not know any Muslims to have personal context-- so any hateful statement ever made has given you an unfair view. It might be useful to make a Muslim acquaintance and learn more about what they actually believe, instead of what folks who hate and fear them have told you is the truth about Muslims. If this is abhorrent to you, that's okay, but you are living in the ignorance of never knowing anyone who is Muslim closely and personally, and you should know, that means you do not have any fair context to judge them all together.
