There's a way to constructively debate what one does not like about a certain religion's concepts. This thread is probably not the place its going to happen. I personaly believe the original question by Dog solicits trolling and negative comments and so the ignorant and hateful remarks by a certain poster. I can and will question all religions but not on this thread. I am not interested in deliberately insulting Muslims. All religions have questionable concepts and followers. Its up to us who follow these religions to use them for good not evil..

It's weird, the left and the Dems want to get to the bottom of the Russian investigation, yet they all seem quite bothered that Susan Rice and John Brennan were given subpoenas.

Islam is submission. There is no other way to interpret this word. It means to accept God's power. ===== In my various travels and discussions, what is striking about Islam (compared to almost all other religions) is that Muslims consider the Koran to be the exact word of God. (God spoke to Mohammed and Mohammed wrote down the exact words -direct quotes- in "classical Arabic". These words are with us now, today - exactly as God said them to Mohammed.) Islam started in the 700s when technology supposedly made it possible to record words exactly. Nowadays, some 1300 years later, superstitious Muslims are afraid to challenge the supposed exact words of God. Historical Christians, even modern Christian fanatics, don't claim that the New Testament contains direct quotes from Christ. (The King James Version is an obvious translation; I think Mel Gibson tried to make actors speak Aramaic but I never saw that movie.) Superstitious Christians - eg. Luther - could more easily challenge the New Testament because it was never presented as the exact word of God. I once had several long conversations with a Sinhalese Buddhist on these points and I've always liked her remark: "What the Lord Buddha said? You can choose to accept gravity... or ignore it." No one knows what the Buddha exactly said. (The only record is that he had long ear lobes.) The Jewish Pentateuch? From what I understand, there are different versions of Hebrew and different versions of the Torah. Critically, the Old Testament is not the exact word (direct quote) of God. (IME, Jews certainly love to argue over interpretations.) ===== How do you challenge the perceived, exact word of (a direct quote from) God? In their times, this is what Luther and Voltaire did.

Islam is Peace: post your most admired things about this religion that only wants the best for all human beings...no dogs allowed. ...and go.

The lefties and globalists are screaming like stuck pigs...it's GREAT !

Coal mining and exports are certainly good enough for Canada (e.g. British Columbia). Drill, Baby, Drill...Mine, Baby, Mine !!

Another campaign promise kept by President Trump. The Paris climate "agreement" should have been a treaty anyway with a full vote by the U.S. Senate...where it never would have passed. Smart not to go back down the path like Canada's massive Kyoto FAIL.

Obama almost got the debt up too 20 trillion. He just needed one more year to make it so.

By discussing them and voting on them. No. Why would I want that? I don't hold much in the way of social conservative views myself, except maybe on immigration and culture. What I believe is that those with so-con views make up a not unsubstantial percentage of this country. They have a right to make themselves heard, and to discuss their issues in public without being screamed at and sneered at and called names. I think there's probably more of them than there are leftist progressives, yet we treat the latter with respect, even allowing them to dictate to the rest of us on occasion, while we dismiss so-cons as idiots and losers from a bygone time. What I'm saying is that they have the right to be treated respectfully and to air their beliefs in public forums and in parliament, just like the progressives, who I personally consider wack job loonies, and often dangerous wack job loonies. The mainstream opinion makers in media, which is not, of course, mainstream, but leans decidedly to the Left, treats so-con views, even those which are reasonable and not shrill, with complete contempt, as if they're completely illegitimate views. Yet takes the likes of BLM seriously. I put it to you that Niki Ashton is far more of a fruitloop than Brad Trost, and a lot more dangerous. Yet she's treated with respect and is given every opportunity to air her views. She's not dismissed a a wack job, and she and her ilk won't face demonstrations and protests no matter where she goes or what they say. Demand that all business be nationalized? Okay. Demand a 99% tax rate for anyone making over $100k? No problem. Demand we befriend Hamas and Hezbollah and break ties with Israel? Fine. But dare to suggest Canada puts in place the same laws on abortion that Sweden has, and suddenly the media recoils in horror while making signs to ward off evil.

@DogOnPorch @Argus As @Goddesssaid the other day Screw people who think this is post-on-demand; I'll post what and when I want to, and it won't be in response to stupid tricks like DoP is trying.

People always talk about human rights but you seldom hear anyone talking about human duties.

The change has been fast. As recently as in the 70's the weekly church-going rate in Ireland was about 80%. These days it is almost nothing. Even more recently, the Catholic Church was a formidable force in the fall of communism in Poland in 1989. These days to the new generation the church has lost its importance. I would say that all European countries are very secular. I'm not sure about the Latin-American ones.

You've said I should die/ be killed before...yet you are the peaceful one. Here you are hoping I'm killed by your Jihadi friends again. Okay, then. Your world is upside down. Dialamah can "like" your comment, I suppose...keep things consistent.

Advocating for the death of your fellow forum members is YOUR bag, after-all.

No wonder there have never been any Muslims on the moon....must be...Islamophobia !
