My response to post #83
paraphrasing tickleandrose......
There is a lot of wrongdoing in the world, and even when we learn and understand, that a 'popular' religious philosophy promotes wrongdoing, we shouldn't seek to proscribe that philosophy, because, hey, there is so much wrongdoing in the world everyday anyway!!
And perhaps we should simply prosecute individuals, who would commit wrongdoing.
But to try to proscribe a 'popular' religious philosophy which promotes wrongdoing, in an effort to prevent serious wrongdoing, would be going to far!!!/sarc off
That, is the response to ISLAM, that you are advocating, tickleandrose.
Here below, is the character, of the influence, which ISLAM has [i.e. which ISLAM
MUST have], upon the psyche of the moslem.

THE KORAN....
"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98
"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11
"
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission,
and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29
"There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you,
enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."
Koran 60:4
"Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred...."
Koran 58.22
"O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends,
such are wrong-doers."
Koran 9.23
"Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them."
Koran 3.28
"....take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends....
......he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them."
Koran 5.51
"O ye who believe! Take not
my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love,..."
Koran 60.1
.
tickleandroses' reaction/response to moslem violence, supporting
ISLAMIC supremacism and oppression is,
imo ;
Don't worry about it.
We can't do anything about it.
