But of course DoP says they're "lying" cause God forbid any individual or group of Muslims should condemn violence!  What would happen to his "Muslims are evil" narrative then?

 

How does one tell which Muslims will act on Allah's orders to fight the Unbeliever until all is for Islam?

Where on Earth is Islam being practiced properly as the Religion of Peace that we can all use as an example of Islam's peacefulness? Where? You never say...

I wonder why that is? I'm supposed to kowtow to your pet religion out of respect....respect for what, again?

Muslim leaders call for tolerance.

More than 1200 Islamic leaders met in Mecca in May for the Muslim World League's Conference on Moderation.  The conference represented 139 countries and 27 Islamic sects.  The 4-day discussion was focused on how to combat intolerance, hatred and extremism in Muslim communities and around the the world:

"Our solution is the Charter of Mecca, a document of groundbreaking frankness that received the endorsement of the entirety of the Islamic scholars who participated. It received political backing as well through its first signatory, Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.

How do we win this battle? From the Muslim world, it starts with commitments the likes of which we have never formally adopted or connected to tolerance.

Our charter demands that we safeguard natural resources and manage industrial development; support climate treaties, fight hunger and poverty; eliminate disease and discrimination, and preserve the human rights of all people, including women and minorities. It includes a special obligation to empower women through social equality and economic opportunity, and to reject any effort that is disrespectful or marginalizing toward women.

We will take each of these commitments home with us, and exhort our community members to adhere to them. We must."

An aspirational document, with some powerful backing, for the reform of Islam.  Not a solution and unlikely to see results quickly, but a step in the right direction.

Religion itself is disgusting, imo.

Catholic, United and Anglican 'church people', raping, torturing and killing Indigenous kids, killing the babies born of rape, burning their remains in school furnaces or cementing them into foundations, or selling them alive into sexual slavery. 

And that's just Canada. 

Religion is the true evil in the world. 

 

Some are more evil than others.

There is no such thing as Thou Shalt Not Kill in Islam. Though this gets hauled out regularly as an indication of Islam's benevolence...

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

https://quran.com/5/32

Note the bold print...there are two conditions where it is okay to kill according to Islam.

1. For a soul: ie honor....revenge.

2. For causing fitnah...corruption...mischief...a very broad term...against Islam.

That's a pretty big 'but'....

If only you'd fight Islam with the contempt you reserve for its critics.

That is great, but Marocc won't be happy!

The meeting also decided to come out with a proper interpretation of the verses in the Quran ..

Soul=murder.

An assault in the western law is a broad term too. Why is it not a problem?

Just now, Marocc said:

Usually you don't quote the Hadith you write your own.

 

I don't need you to understand Islam. Thanks for your input.
