Same one who said ... "Speak softly, and pilot a Predator drone" ;-)

Strategy = minimize enemies and maximize friends

Tactics = help your friends and harm your enemies

Intel = loose lips sink ships

I have noticed that quite a few posters rush in to "soften the blow" for the image of Islam, which I am sure they would not do for Christianity.

There is also the usual tu quoque any time Islam is the subject. No way one can discuss Islam without invoking Christianity.

Thankfully, the race card is no longer used here, (although it is everywhere else) but still the labels islamophobe, hater, more recently xenophobe is used to try and shut down any negative discussion on Islam.


Might have something to do with most people here being from majority Christian countries.
Kinda like Bill Maher, what he says about islam feels kinda wrong but i would be very happy if his shows were broadcasted in some Islamic countries. Muslim needs these kind of messages not Christain, xenophobes or whatever.

The modern Islam some people see is in fact the original Islam as per dictates of the Islamic scriptures.
ISIS, Boko Haram, the Taliban etc. are pure original Islam as it was  practiced by the "prophet" Muhammad.

Any reprehensible act they do such murder, crucifixion, beheading, cutting off limbs, burning alive, slavery, rape can be found in the Quran.

Whenever there is any acceptable thing done by Muslims it is despite Islam, not because of it.






Does that matter? Its religion from medieval age, it will have shitty stuffs in it. No Muslim of today will ever go and ask Muhammad, 'Hi, is this shit ok?'
They are going to believe whatever fairy tails they want to believe like Muhammad was the most perfect human ever to live.

It always amuses me, how anti-idolators fall so easy under the sway of idolatry.  Once Baghdad was established by the Abbasids, over 100 years after Muhammad, the Arabs and the Hajj were becoming less relevant ... under dominance from Persian and Byzantine culture.  The whole haram for women was borrowed from those two cultures for instance.  At that point also, conversion to Islam became much easier ... before that you had to be adopted by an Arabic tribe.  This was creating fear among the Arab Muslims ... that they were being absorbed.  Islam was becoming very Shia.  So Sunni Islam was invented to reestablish the dominance of the Arab Muslims over all other Muslims.  It was that point that Muhammad and the Rashidun became important again vs the Caliphs.  This tug of war has continued over the last 1250 years.  The Sunni reactionaries created the hagiographies of Muhammad, and gathered the Hadith over the next 100 years.  This is clearly idolatry of a man ;-).  This apotheosis has happened to every successful religion founder whether legendary or historical.
