Does Islam Promote Violence?

[TINCANBANDIT]

What's the real cause of their "self" radicalization? Because of a book... or because western countries keep drone bombing women and children in the Middle East? Or because we continue to try and overthrow governments that don't do our bidding which results in... more innocent people dead? There are many plausible reasons, but the fact that we continue to kill tens of thousands of people there is far more plausible than the influence of a book. I know it's a lot easier to blame religion than to admit to the consequences of our own actions, but millions of Muslims prove your theory wrong.

Did you even watch the video?

OK let me get this straight.....the attack on Charlie Hebdo was because of American aggression? Are we also to blame for the Lindt Chocolate attack in Sydney? What about the '72 Munich Olympics.....is that one our fault too? What about The Boston Marathon Bombing? The beheading and stabbing in the Oklahoma factory???? The recent attack in Copenhagen?

Really the question is: Do Muslims believe that it is OK to kill infidels, regardless of whether or not they participate?

I believe they do.

Once again I'd like to point out the amount of hot muslim on muslim violence going on right now. And again call your attention to Jordan fighting ISIS, as well as Iraq fighting ISIS and Iran fighting ISIS...

So is your post an affirmative confirmation of the OP's question?

My post is a statement that Islam in and of itself is not violent, nor conducive to violence, which has been largely ignored in favor of "nuh uh... muzzies BAD"

And by saying "muslims", you're highlighting the fact that we kill "infidels" regardless of whether or not they participate.

The cycle continues.

It wasn't a dream quest for Rumsfeld and Cheney.

And, it wasn't " we ". either - you had nothing to do with the Gulf War, Anzac - unless you were the Australian advisor to Bushes war department.

I'm not talking about the Gulf War. I'm talking about Iraq, 2003. WMDs.

So, get them there Taliban ISIS mo fo's dead soonest. Just throw in all of the sick bastards in the military industrial complex in every country world wide, and all of their political bum boys on the fire to burn as well. Get all of the religious fanatics as well, while you are at it.

I don't see a problem with that plan.

So how many of you have read a koran? Those of you who have, if any, what have you found as common for dealing with the "infidel"?

An important point of interest for "Muslim on Muslim violence"...there is a lot of sunni vs shiite violence. They consider each other as infidels. The issue of state vs isil also comes up. That's a political vs religious extremism issue. A radical Islamic terrorist organization is trying to dissolve statehood. So pointing out Jordan bombing IS is a moot point. Not even worth a mention In this extremism talk.

[kf7mjf]

So pointing out that non extremist muslims who don't take the nastier bits of the Koran seriously are fighting the ones who do is not worth a mention?

Extremist Muslims are the problem. The fact that a lot of Muslims are not extremists and are even fighting the extremists kinda proves the point that the extremists are the outliers.

What do they teach in their madrases? Peace?

Iraq 2003 was the Gulf War as well. You had Poppy Bush in charge of Gulf War One, fucking it all up the first time by not rolling into Bagdad so Saddam could get his ass all riled up to invade Kuwait.

This set the stage for Gulf War Two to prompt Bush Junior to go in and clean up his Poppy's mess. Goddammit, we sure 'nuff do love our sequels, don't we ?

Only, true to family form, he fucked that all up as well.

By disbanding the iraqi army after his " Mission Accomplished !!! " moment in the sun, he created a half million unemployed well trained potential insurgents for hire out to whoever would pay them for their job skills.

This guaranteed a permanent cluster fuck in the Middle East so's we could be there spending tax payers money and lives protecting oil forever.

I hate politicians.

I hate religious leaders and organized religions.

I hate military industrial complex psychotics.

I hate extremist nut bar whack job motherfuckers.

Why ? Because they were created AND / OR used by the first three groups of assholes to do their dirty work for them, to keep the whole sick mess of human slaughter, starvation, and misery alive and well.

Most conflict in the world today would disappear if all these guys were out of the picture

March them all through an airport snow blower so the rest of us could enjoy quality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

What do Christians teach in their churches?

The answer is who fucking knows because neither group is a monolithic whole marching in lockstep unison.

UM.....they ONLY started fighting when ISIS killed their OWN people, we heard nothing from them when western infidels were being slaughtered.


The OPs question is "does Islam promote violence" yes or no?...so you admit that the "nastier parts of the Koran" do promote violence....I agree, the Koran and the idiots who read it are the problem.

There is no way I would associate with any group or religion that was responsible for as much death and terror as Islam.....maybe you feel differently


I will capitulate that there are some "peaceful" Muslims that do not wish to kill infidels (although they have no problem with others doing the killing on their behalf). What is the solution to the problem?


Like I said before, the World will eventually have enough of their shit and they will get their "Holy War"...only I don't think it will work out the way they want it to

The question is, what is the threshold for bloodshed that must be crossed before "enough is enough"?

As has been said so many times before I've lost count, the bible is equally as violent and hundreds of thousands have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ as well. So, is it really the book that matters? Gosh, maybe there are other factors in play...

There is no way I would associate with any group or religion that was responsible for as much death and terror as Islam.....maybe you feel differently

Have any of us said we "associate" (not even sure what you mean there) with Islam? Just trying to get you to understand that bigoted views are bad, mmmkay.

I will capitulate that there are some "peaceful" Muslims that do not wish to kill infidels (although they have no problem with others doing the killing on their behalf).

"Peaceful". As in, you don't really believe that. Is the bolded statement what your Muslim acquaintances have told you? Do you have a cite to back that up?

Like I said before, the World will eventually have enough of their shit and they will get their "Holy War"...only I don't think it will work out the way they want it to

I guess you haven't been paying attention, we've been bringing them the holy war for decades now.

4 pages in.....must ask...

So, is the OP just baiting people into giving opinions and cherrypicking those to ridicule, or does the OP have a legitimate reason for posting such a thread that goes beyond a sophisticated troll?
