But Sharia

2019-10-14 09:26:26 UTC  

is completely incompatible with a civilized nation

2019-10-14 09:26:41 UTC  

^

2019-10-14 09:26:48 UTC  

But I think we shouldn't completely marginalise the entirety of Islam.

2019-10-14 09:26:54 UTC  

There are systemic problematic views in Islam.

2019-10-14 09:27:03 UTC  

Yes, we should.

2019-10-14 09:27:19 UTC  

Who we shouldn't marginalise are the vast amounts of moderate muslims who live peacefully.

2019-10-14 09:27:32 UTC  

But that doesn't mean that we should ignore the problematic nature of their religion.

2019-10-14 09:27:44 UTC  

Definitely,

2019-10-14 09:27:50 UTC  

it's as much a warrior cult as it is a religion

2019-10-14 09:27:51 UTC  

GG @qwasi, you just advanced to level 2!

2019-10-14 09:27:57 UTC  

Precisely.

2019-10-14 09:28:19 UTC  

I am just here to say how we shouldn't necessarily mix Islam Practicers and their religion as the same entity.

2019-10-14 09:28:31 UTC  

Because religion is really a blanket term.

2019-10-14 09:29:10 UTC  

the substance you receive and what you believe in, your way of thought, is influenced on where you live, and your surrounding places of knowledge.

2019-10-14 09:29:18 UTC  

That goes for politics in general.

2019-10-14 09:29:31 UTC  

But these ideas, the religion itself is what Islam is.

2019-10-14 09:29:43 UTC  

Even moderate practitioners are exposed to dangerous ideas.

2019-10-14 09:29:55 UTC  

Because Islam **includes** them.

2019-10-14 09:30:10 UTC  

Surely they're desensitised in it, but do they truly practice and believe it in entirety?

2019-10-14 09:30:18 UTC  

Muslims don't really give a shit about any secular idea of organizing society. A huge portion of them want society to be governed by Sharia, and that is unacceptable

2019-10-14 09:30:33 UTC  

I've heard that you truly need to read the Qur'an in Arabic to understand it.

2019-10-14 09:30:39 UTC  

Because the english translations can be dodgy.

2019-10-14 09:30:47 UTC  

I agree that a relatively small portion of Muslims are actively radical and practice terrorism and whatnot.

2019-10-14 09:30:54 UTC  

That could also be a factor of the high rate of radicalists in the faith.

2019-10-14 09:31:04 UTC  

But these ideas come from Islam and not from that small percentage of people who actually bomb themselves.

2019-10-14 09:31:12 UTC  

And so they also reach moderates.

2019-10-14 09:31:24 UTC  

There is absolutely no Muslim out there who doesn't know about Sharia for example.

2019-10-14 09:32:03 UTC  

Death for apostates. Nuff said

2019-10-14 09:32:13 UTC  

Stoning for adultery

2019-10-14 09:32:16 UTC  

Yeah, things like that.

2019-10-14 09:32:18 UTC  

Honor killing.

2019-10-14 09:32:29 UTC  

gtfo of here with that shit

2019-10-14 09:32:33 UTC  

prevalent in most religions though,

2019-10-14 09:32:39 UTC  

?

2019-10-14 09:32:53 UTC  

When was the last time in modern times you saw a Christian family stone their child to death?

2019-10-14 09:32:54 UTC  

we can't say that all very radical ideologies solely exist in Islam

2019-10-14 09:32:55 UTC  

Stone for adultery versus getting raped in divorce court

2019-10-14 09:32:56 UTC  

which is worse

2019-10-14 09:33:30 UTC  

your wife can cheat on you, divorce you, and end up with more of your shit than you

2019-10-14 09:33:32 UTC  

I have a friend in Amsterdam.
