To hate Islam...

All those religions are equally silly. Lets go and kill someone else because his imaginary friend is less kickass than your imaginary friend. Woohoo!

I studied a lot about Islam and all I can say is that someone loving it has serious mental issues!
I don't need no bullshitting religion saying I'm the best or using ones ego against himself.

Btw: gambling is haram.

If all religions preach peace then why aren't their extremist extremely peaceful?

Islam seems worse to you because you were probably raised to a Christian culture, I suppose to Islam followers Christianity is more extreme and so on. Truth is you are all crazy so stop searching for who is crazier, lol.

Now, I get what the OP is trying to say in regards to people assuming that because one criticizes Islam one must be discriminating Muslims, some go as far as saying is a racial issue. I'm sorry but that's just madness and it's a strategy to brush off whatever criticism that is not in the religion's best interest. On that same note, I think the reason why the followers of these "religions" are so prompt to take it personally and get offended is because they have formed their identities around that set of beliefs. I've had a chance to observe Christians above all other cult followers and I have noticed often they put their beliefs even above their humanity... Like if you are to ask about their opinion on something, they'd answer something along the lines of "As a Christian I..." then you'd ask for their personal opinion and they'd say "Well, the Bible says..." so it would seem as if they have little sense of themselves outside the doctrine, I suppose that's why they take things personally when the cult is being questioned.

i don't know if i'd call it the religion that is so crazy.. it probably has more to do with the culture of arabs, on top of the fact that the west has gone into their territory and siphoned out so much of their natural resources without giving anything back.

Nigeria finds 10-year-old girl with bomb strapped to her

Nigerian forces have arrested two Boko Haram suspects who were traveling with a 10-year-old girl with explosives strapped to her, the government said on Wednesday.

Government spokesman Mike Omeri said the suspects had been intercepted in a Honda CRV car traveling along a road in the north’s Katsina state.

“Ten-year old Hadiza was discovered to have been strapped with an explosive belt and, immediately, Iliya and Zainab made attempt to escape with the car, but were later blocked by other concerned Nigerians and subsequently arrested,” he said.

Indeed.

Cultural relativism has boundaries!
Firstly I'm not Christian to fall into that non-sense of "my imaginary friend is better than yours", let's leave that aside. Right?

If I was unlucky to born under Islam I probably would think kill people is justifiable if they don't preach Allah or whatsoever and probably would be studying the Quran in a catatonic state as if that load of baloney was the ultimate truth on Earth. (For those without knowledge, the line of the horizon is the end of the World) But, no wonder! If everybody who doesn't do it gets to be killed... pretty much what would happen if I was born 2 or 3 centuries ago in Europe about Christianity.

The aim must be to spread the value of life, which is more or less of an universal value, except for Islam (and Medieval Christianity, but Medieval Christianity is not killing people today, Islam is), and Secular and Rational societies, so we don't need to find out who is crazier anymore. It doesn't also mean that crazy people will fade away magically, but at least we won't have societies with so many wackjobs that no asylum can host them.

For the rest of the crap, like if you want to pray with your ass up or under water or whatever, doesn't concern me. Also religions can have the right to be annoying, like Jehovah witnesses, but not to kill people or force them to their belief or impose the irrational religion-made laws.

Pay this page a visit and then come back to me to tell me Islam is worse: https://www.facebook.com/EvidenceofHarmbyReligion

If you only judge Islam through terrorist who claims to be a Muslim, then you are really wrong. We were never taught that way, not Islam which teaches them but people who are not responsible, who taught them. Their sense of fanatical excess of Islam that has made them forget and finally take action is never justified in the Quran.

If you study history, you will know Islam is just as violent as any other religions out there.

@trans4mist ,

Yes it is. If you want to say shit like

"That priest is molesting a child, look how bad Christianity is" you make no sense at all! You are comparing the incomparable! Under Islam not only the Mullah can molest children as it isn't even forbidden and most likely the child will be killed if complaint.

@valvalis ,

How many times do I need to say: FUCK TERRORISM! Terrorism is the least of Islam problems!

@transient858,

Do you live in XV Century? Or I BC? No! So just because 5 centuries ago Christianity was way worse than Islam doesn't justify anything for today.
And no, Islam isn't "just as violent", others have violent behaviors, but Islam is violent from its doctrine up. The only place Islam should have by now was in Hollywood for a couple of movies, like the Greek or Nordic ancient religions.

Well, Sayyd Qutb would likely agree with you....
