You know, after the Christians ensured that paganism was wiped out through mass conversions, burnings and deaths. Christianity truly is a great religion. Oh yeah, 10/10.

Even though I am not Christian, I wouldn't say that about Christianity. Christianity's a great religion to be a part of because the big 3 as I call them: Judaism, Christianity and Islam all believe in 1 God and the Day of Judgement. So those 3 religions and other religions are great, beautiful, etc. It's the adherents that aren't so great.


All these three 'big' religions have blood on their hand. There is no 'greatness' in them because scripturally, they are backward, convoluted and contradictory.

It gives me the Ten commandments, only to break them in the case of sodomites and non-believers. History has clearly put those words to affect. So i can say that about Christianty. Not just because i have a right to say so, but because it is very, very accurate.

Scripture in many religions only calls for killing if you are in war, not any other time. Even then, in Islam there's a certain way you fight.

Everyone on the Internet has a Doctorate in Islamic Studies!
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

So where in the Quran does it say it's permissible to strike someone who hasn't payed jizya?

Mhm, so did Constantine I have no reason for slaughtering Roman pagans because they didn't want to convert? Did the Prophet Muhammad kill for no reason when he fought for his religion's survival?

Your assertion that people who kill for no reason in the name of religion is naive. The world has been fighting over religious supremacy for centuries until secularism came along. And to this day, religious violence persists, the people blinded by their beliefs.

Yeah, it's always all the fault of the ebul Wahhabies, that seems to be a theme with regressive left islamic apologists; Too bad for you there are so many shiite terrorists (IE: Hezbollah, the Houthis, Asaib Ahl al-Haq) who have nothing to do with the Wahabbi movement.

By "applying Protestant logic" do you mean "not just discarding anything which makes the religion sound bad"?

You're honestly calling me a regressive leftist. Goodnight my sides!

There are indeed some among the shi'ites. The Twelvers are mostly hardliners anyway.

But yes. The Salafi movement is by far the biggest and practically the most relavent threat in Islam and the face of it's fundamentalism. And there are a fucking lot of them. Over a third of Muslims almost.

The Shi'a hardliners are a problem too, but pale in number compared to Salafis.

Seiously. Apologist is just code for someone defending something you don't agree with.

It's a buzzword used to somehow automatically discredit people giving a defensive position on something.

You're honestly calling me a regressive leftist. Goodnight my sides!

There are indeed some among the shi'ites. The Twelvers are mostly hardliners anyway.

But yes. The Salafi movement is by far the biggest and practically the most relavent threat in Islam and the face of it's fundamentalism. And there are a fucking lot of them. Over a third of Muslims almost.

The Shi'a hardliners are a problem too, but pale in number compared to Salafis.

And by protestant logic I mean rejecting the clear commentary by scholars of the past that throughly explain what you find issue with.


Yet, no one seems to combat the Salafi movement, or any other hardline moment.

Could it be because most Muslims are socially conservative and support the destruction of anything against their religion? Look no further than Bangladesh to know that's true.

That's not what i was referring to.

If Salafist movements are so dangerous, why haven't they been actively pursued, hunted down and purged? Why aren't Muslims trying to reform their religion and weed out the extremist elements?

And the Salafi Wahhabi dogma and other hardline movements are combated strongly in parts of Southeast Asia and North Africa.

Bangladesh actually has a great deal of Anti Hardliner movements. And Hardliners in general seem to be a minority in government positions and in the polls.

But most Strongly in The Balkans and Turkic World.

As for the lack of resistence, Muhammad Iqbal and many others correctly assessed that Quietist Fatalism among Cultural Muslims and Aesthetic Sufism has been a source of withdrawlal and lack of change.
