On a side note: anyone else find it delightfully ironic that Jain means "conqueror."

No, he had some twisted hybrid of Christianity, paganism, and his own bullshit, I think. But their were definitely Christian elements in his beliefs.

This "Hitler was anti-Christian" thing is pretty much a falsehood intended to deflect criticism of Christians (and maybe play the "Hitler was an atheist so atheists are responsible for Hitler" card), I believe.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

No, he was certainly anti-Catholic Church, but he wasn't an Anti-Christian.

(Before any Republican get's triggered, When I say right wing religion I mean it as in the fact that it takes the horrible aspects of Right wing Politics)


Which aspect of right wing politics, specifically? And how does that fits into the argument that Islam is an non peaceful religion? And how do you define a "peaceful religion"?

In my view it isn't a religion of peace and the evidence I have for it you can find in the youtube channel I linked to a youtuber I watch. Now If you want me to explain why Islam isn't peaceful I will start now.


Islam tells it's subjects to force others to believe in the religion
,
Source? Evidence?

And many non-muslim arabs who live in the middle-east and move to Europe or America move because of it,
There could be other economic factor that influenced those people to move out to other region of the world, don't you agree?

not to mention there was a porn star a while back (If I remember I believe she was not a muslim.) Who moved from a Muslim country to America where she would start doing her line of work. Isis somehow found out who she was and sent her a picture saying that she was next.
Implying that ISIS represent Islam is hardly fair does it now?

But, with that this brings me to another discussion, Non-muslim arabian immigrant. Islam can't allow a country to develop well because it doesn't support seperation of church in state,
Which country are you referring to? National and economic developments has a lot of factors, political leaders, stability, resources, etc etc. There are others like Malaysia and Indonesia which are developing though they are predominantly Islamic.

which I will get into later and It makes many of the Non-muslims/People that call themselves 'muslims' that can work leave and go to countries where they can work. And with this Immigration Muslim countries simply can't progress, aside from Turkey and even then the country recently had gotten a leader who does not believe in seperation of church and state.
Not seeing any evidence on this, which muslims countries are you referring to again? Again, a few failed states doesnt represent an entire religion don't you think?

Now with non-seperation of Church and state. Islam does not allow it, neither did christanity in the past but that was only because of political views and not because of the bible it's self, with Islam even if a politician wants seperation of church and state the Muslim Population will not allow it as Islam does not allow them to.
So, these said islamic countries refusal to adhere to the separation of the states doctrine automatically made them non peaceful?

And Finally for my final statement I'm going to bring up the Crusades. While I don't particuarly agree with the atrocities that any side did the Knights who fought for christiantity in a way were morally higher as Muslims were the one who started the war, As their book tells them to go to war with their neighbors and betray those who are weak.
Specific source and evidence on the last part?

That will be my final point, If anyone wishes to bring another point up or an opinion feel free to comment on this thread.
Note:
Before anyone starts saying I favor one religion over the other, I dislike all religions.


Having an opinion is one thing, and you are entitled to think whatever you chose to think concerning Islam, however when you presented a weak argument lacking substantial solid evidence backed by statistically proven materials it doesn't really persuade anyone to your line of thoughts.

Is it hypocrisy to think all religions are evil, then?

I don't agree that it is a religion of peace. However, I feel the need to let you know that you should branch out in your sourcing. Use actual examples from the Qu'ran. You have a very limited range of sources- that's not honorable. That's what the SJWs do.


If ya want sources go search up German women getting raped in subways by barbaric poor Muslim migrants refugees on YouTube mange. 2 ez :^)

But that doesn't prove the inherent badness or violence in them as much as holocaust of germans.
The actual examples of the holy book would be better along with analysis of the percentage of believers that agree with that interpretation.
