[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Conditioned: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homing pigeon: [qb]But , of course, if you want to take the the relativity approach, then.... :) your choice as long as you allow me my interpretation. All I want is to be able to show that maybe Islam is not quite as bad as it is being made out to be. [/qb][/QUOTE]I have no problem with your interpretation persay and you're most welcome to it.. I'm not a Muslim, nor Christian or Jew.. I am simply anti-religious in general, although I'm not an atheist. As for whether Islam is "bad" or not, I have an opinion on that. From the view of someone like me who's a non believer, Islam appears to be overtly constrictive and dogmatic. There are rules and regulations all over the place. Halal vs Haram and so on. This can be appealing to some though, because of the greater discipline required to live as a Muslim. As for whether Islam is inherently "evil" or wicked now, I don't believe that. The Qu'ran is a reflection of the era in which it was written, and as such, it contains many teachings and sayings which in the Modern World today, many would find "indigestible." But this does not make it evil or bad. So, why do some Muslims use Islam as a crutch for their abominable deeds? Because, from what I've been able to garner, Islam allows alot of leeway in regards to using violence to either defend itself, or Muslims from perceived aggression from outsiders. The other provision ofcourse deals with aggression and violence towards unbelievers aka infidels. And ofcourse, Islam has not undergone the level of reform that Christianity has in the West, nor been balanced by the opposing force that is [b]SECULARISM[/b]. Until these things happen, Islam will continue to be increasingly villified as a backward, archaic religion by many in the World I'm afraid; even if it shares many things in common with Christianity. ~Alistair [/QB][/QUOTE]
