Examined?  Muslims suffer something more akin to Open-Heart Surgery, daily here, than a mere "examination" of their views/beliefs/attitudes/religion.   It is incredibly intrusive and more often than not drive by prejudice and Xenophobia than genuine interest and it's invariably conducted by butchers, than highly trained surgeons!   

Why?  Racism is incorrect.  Bigotry is the correct word.  Muslims can be any race.

As to it's ability to withstand scrutiny, I'm sure the religion can but it's adherents I don't doubt get rather fed up with being hammered and their every belief questioned in what is more often than not the most insulting manner by ignoramuses and bigots who refuse to accept their answers as valid.

Your attitudes are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.  You're afraid of the alienated Muslim loonies yet you set out to create more with your bigotry and Islamophobia.  You should be glad, you'll get your wish!   

Europe's Anti-Muslim Racism

The specter of racism leers menacingly over Western Europe today. More and more Europeans are reacting to Europe's changing racial profile in ever more illiberal ways, typically under the guise of lawful legislative intervention. Recently voters in Switzerland declared an injunction against all new construction of minarets - architecturally distinct towers adjoining mosques - demonstrating widespread contempt for that country's small Muslim community. In Italy, a Muslim woman wearing the niqab (a garment that covers the face) was fined over six hundred dollars for exercising her right to dress in a manner she believes is appropriate. Belgium also recently embarked on the road to illegalize and stigmatize the burka and niqab with a vote in the Brussels federal parliament. That move mirrors similar ongoing efforts in France.

Comparable movements in other religions are Zionism, "Political Christianity" and Hinduism or "Hindu Chauvinism".  All are the political aspirations of the religion.  Islamism is not unique.

So, you'd have real problems coping with Communism then?  What about the dictatorships which brook no criticism of their leader and their political movements?  Again, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not unique in this regard yet your bigotry ensures you single it out because of it's religious basis.

Quote:


What other religions were founded by by a (warmongering) political leader and make the state part of the religion?

Well, to answer the second question, I'd suggest all religions were part of the State until quite recently.

As to the first, it is more difficult I admit.  However, I'd suggest the bloody history of most religions cannot be overlooked.

It is invariably the followers who wage holy wars, rather than the founders.

Capitalism?

Just to clarify, did you quote my first question and respond by answering the second? Have you forgotten how to copy and paste?

Quote:


So, not answer to the actual question then? We must ignore all the violent and cruel aspects of Islam that were demonstrated by Muhammed himself and written into the Koran, while at the same time projecting onto other religions whatever you can associate with them throughout history?

Quote:


Except of course for Islam, where Muslims have forever tried and failed to live up to Muhammed's bloody, cum drenched example.

Gee thanks Winston. I'd forgotten about all those classical economists who liked to rape and pillage in their spare time. Did you know that Capitalism was actually promoted as an antidote to the sort of warmongering promoted by Muhammed, and is largely responsible for the end of the age of empires?

Ban coffee because it leads to promiscuity.
