Then you would disown the book which rails agonist “kaffirs” and “polytheists” and calls them the “worst of creatures.”

Given that this is part of a religious belief and considered the “word of god” it is far more toxic and dangerous than a #CharlieHebdo cartoon.

#CharlieHebdo is a joke, it is meant for laughs.

I wish the absurd beliefs in eternal heaven and hell and “God’s only son” and “last prophet” were also taken as jokes and not taken seriously by grown men.

I’d have no problems with these then.

You can go ahead and find all the verses against kaffirs and polytheists in your book. Now imagine for a moment all those verses were against Muslims with "proper context." Would you not find these verses hateful? You need courage to examine this.

This is a good academic reference of all the verses against kaffirs and also their violent implementation by "true believers." So let's not spin away their effects. @waseemsayed

Banal words like "ever merciful" mean nothing. They are simply words. They'll be judged on their effects, not the spin. And the effect is barbaric invasions and slaughter, effect is Al Qaeda and Taliban and Boko Haram and #ISIS. It is terror, not mercy.

This is a disingenuous. The Taliban spent a lifetime studying the Koran. #ISIS leader Baghdadi was a Ph.D. in Islamic studies. Saying this is all "misinterpretation" doesn't help the #Yezidi killed and enslaved by Islamic zealots. You avoid the issues.

What if your "Holy Book" insults me? It holds me as "worst of creatures" as a polytheist. It insults my devas when it rails against "there is no God but Allah." It insults my guru and *your* Imām Mahdi. It kills Ahmediyas. You defend your own slaughter.

They mean nothing because the actions of those who claim to follow them are anything but "merciful." So clearly they mean nothing to all the brutal invaders on whose sword Islam was spread. Using them you mock the suffering of those killed, like #Yezidi.

Feel free to. But then don't go around claiming that you "respect all beliefs" and you "religion teaches you not to insult others" and that is why #CharlieHebdo is wrong.

Own your hate and bigotry. At least be honest.

So you won't be insulted if I declare your religion false and fabricated? So you mean your prophet was delusional to make up a false religion? I hope you won't consider this insulting, because I'm not trying to insult you, just to understand your point.

Is that why you riot when “insulted”?

It would be good if you can compile a list of all of the verses of "Allah's word" which are "invalid" today. Maybe even crowd-source it. Once there is a full list you can cc the Taliban and #ISIS & Boko Haram and Al Qaeda since no one sent them the memo.

Shouldn't your lessons about "peace and understanding" be directed towards #ISIS, Taliban, #AlQaeda, #LeT and so many other groups. They'd say you're bs'ing about #jihad not being valid today. Let me know how it goes—and do tell them you're Ahmediya too.

Actually the West is being Hinduised. Without any petro$ or "dawa", millions around the world are embracing yoga, chanting OM, doing kirtan and Hindu goddess worship.

When they become Hindu they meditate for world peace.

And in the other case? *Boom*.

From the Newsweek cover story “We are all Hindus now.”

Of course. Why do you think I speak up for Yezidi and Native American and all the other indigenous traditions of the world brutalized by two predatory religions.

I honor all indigenous traditions of the world. They don’t need to convert or be “Hindu.” They follow their own ways, true for them.

Two monopolistic religions declare all others (and each other) “false.” This belief engenders violence in the world.
