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.
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.
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.
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 asked @google Gemini an identical question about 3 different religions.
"What are the problems with x (religion)"
Check its answers.
In the case of Islam, it found the question itself problematic and refused to list any problems.
In case of Hinduism, it goes on to list specific things after a generic disclaimer.
Apparently, while Gemini has no problems listing "caste system" and "gender inequality" among problems of Hinduism, it does not dare to list even "gender inequality" as a problem with Islam.
With Christianity, again Gemini didn't have problems with listing issues such as "Treatment of Women", Homosexuality and LGBTQ rights, Intolerance and Exclusivism. All of these apply equally, if not more, to Islam, but Gemini wouldn't list those in that case.
India under Congress was a violent oppressive and riot-free India as “seculars” relied on mafias and the criminal class and dividing people in fear to cling on to power.
That’s the “my India” that the “liberal” elite are nostalgic for.
What are the actual causes of the Israel-Palestinian Conflict and why do Muslims worldwide rally to the Palestinian cause?
Often there is a lot of obfuscation around this topic, but the clearest exposition of the Islamic position comes from the Charter of Hamas. A thread 1/n
One of the features of the Left apologetics for Islamic movements is to secularize them to to assign to them causes and aims that are at variants with their own clear objectives.
As #JihadCoolies, the Left obfuscates goals of Hamas to make it more palatable to a wider audience.
A spin is that this is about actions Israel is not taking or its atrocities. But why would Muslims around the world rally for this cause vs that of atrocities on Uighur or Baloch or Yemeni Muslims?
The Hamas charter tells why—to kill Jews ushers the Day of Judgment (qayamat).
Savitribai Phule is a recent 'discovery.' She was created as a propaganda icon in the 1980s, there is negligible references to her before that in books/academic papers.
She was created to support missionary propaganda of "bringing Jesus" and "emancipating Dalits." See spike.
In 1981 in Lok Sabha issues is raised to make a documentary on "great revolutionary" Phule. (Parliamentary Debates, House of the People, 1981 <- where can we find who this is).
At the same time "Savitrabai Phule Foster Parent Scheme" is started in Maharashtra. Who orchestrated?
Absolutely. Our "heroes" are carefully manufactured for us. Even Gandhi was propped up because he suited British interests. See new book "Reevaluating Gandhi" from @GarudaPrakashan.
1. The Index comprises of two parts:
a. A quantitative score based on various incidents against journalists 2. A qualitative score based on a survey and 'opinions' of 'specialists.'
1. See formula for abuses score. It will be higher (better) if x is lower. (x=0, 100 is perfect score, no abuse).
Now x is calculated by summing the product of the number of instance of abuse (xᵢ) weighted by the kind of abuse (kᵢ), divided by the log of the population. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here is where the first manipulation comes in. Dividing by the Log of the population makes x higher for countries with higher total population even if the abuses per capita remain the same.
See the table below with 3 hypothetical countries of population 1 billion, 100 million… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In all these cases, the people had a similar origin, culture and history: with one difference. It’s as good a scientific test in the real word one gets.
The results:
Communism fails.
Islam fails.
People want freedom over totalitarianism. When will our ‘comrades’ learn?
But with very empirical failure, dogmatic zealots hold on to their fantasy of a "true" version which works.
That's why you hear comrades say "true communism has never been tried." Or for every failure of an Islamic state, that it's not "true Islam."
