Is Islam a far-right religion?
>>
It's far left, SJW always side with muslims.
>>
>>2198844
Religions are their own ideologies, neither right nor left or even necessarily political or economic minded.

Islamic socialism is a thing, so it can influence both sides.
>>
>>2198856
solid logic
>>
>>2198859
>neither right nor left or even necessarily political or economic minded.

Islam unlike many religions is absolutely political and economical and could fairly be characterized as reactionary in both those fields.
>>
Islam can't really be placed within the left-right spectrum. Sure, they think gays should be killed and women should be subservient to men. But they also believe all races are equal and in a welfare state.
>>
>>2198871
>But they also believe all races are equal

Yeah but didn't one of Muhammad's main companions hate black people? Serious question, I remember seeing some haddiths posted that were blatantly racist against Ethiopians, but maybe that was just bullshit.
>>
>>2198869
>Islam unlike many religions is absolutely political and economical
It's not. There are versions and philosophies that are Islamic which are very political, but there are also those which reject politics. Even among fundamentalist Salafis there are those who take no part in any political process and are completely apolitical.
>>
>>2198869
So was Christianity for a long time.

But a series of political innovations and bloody wars and revolutions resulted in the separation of state and religion.
This process did not happen in the middle east like it did in Europe, and secularism wasn't fully incorporated.

>>2198856
So do the Christian church, yet people who side with the Christian church consider themselves right-winged.

It still is. Separation of Church and State had less to do with the religion and more to do with the state itself. Islam was fairly secular in different ways as well.

They're right though. Gays have very little to do with the economy. They're a minority that doesn't drain nor contribute to it any more or less than anything else, and hatred of gays is right wing.

The mughals, for one. And you can find the fiqhi opinion based on Umar ibn al Khattabs ruling that when the people asked him about what to do with persian zoroastrians, he told them to treat them as people of the book. Opinions differ in whether this was exclusive to them, or should extend to all non-polytheistic religions. In practice, the mughals extended dhimmi status to the hindus.

And men are restricted to a role of supporting women. In some, unfortunate cases, a single man will have to provide for wife, daughters, sisters, mothers and aunts on his own. They are all allowed to work in Islamic law, but the cold, hard responsibility lies with the man.

It's far left and egalitarian trash.

I can't say I know much about islam, but how can you even apply the concept of political spectrum i the European sense to it?

Islam is an orthopraxy religion, in which you submit completely and utterly to the slavery of god's love and accept his devotion as such.

The method of interpretation by the Imams of the rather totalitarian practices advocated in the Quran doesn't fit the left right dichotomy.

He was the official muezzin, the man who calls to prayer, of the prophet. The interesting thing is that the call to prayer includes the words "ashhadu an la ilaha illa allah, ashhadu anna muhammadun rasoolallah."
Bilal, being an Abyssinian, had an accent in Arabic and couldn't pronounce the "sh" sound, pronouncing it as "s" instead. Despite this, the prophet would always say that Bilals call to prayer was his favourite.

Calling something a "far-right religion" is pretty gay, but most Islamic schools as well as the majority of muslims are very far right, and many of the axioms of Islamic ultra-conservatism are identical to normal ultra-conservatives, such as ideas about degeneracy, faith, sexual liberties, opinions on minorities etc. etc.

Having one caregiver/one worker is the ideal family type. Single parent families are just as destructive as overworkers who spend zero time with their children. Typically men have been the breadwinners, but really either sex is acceptable, providing either sex fulfills their role well.

Islam is a very political religion though seeing as how the founder created a state, and Islam spread through this political entity initially
Unlike Christianity where Jesus was only spiritual, Mohammed lead the muslims both religiously and politically, and those who went on after him did the same
In fact the modern divide in Islam is due to their seperate interpretation of who had the right to rule politically, so to dismiss the political importance of Islam would be ignoring one of its most important aspects

As for "left or right" it's a stupid way of classing ideologies

>>2203302
>Islam is a very political religion though seeing as how the founder created a state, and Islam spread through this political entity initially

This is something that political Islamists certainly believe, but is a concept that's as young as their ideology. Before the 20th century Muslims did not believe Muhammad had founded a state, but rather he established a court of justice with the moral authority to preside over any dispute. This is why there are thousands of books on Islamic jurisprudence but just a handful of books on political theory and practice, which are usually written in the Persian style of mirrors for princes anyway. The Sunnis and Shias were similarly divided over the matter of religious moral authority in settling disputes, and the actual politics surrounding it was incidental - even a point of criticism for the opposing side.
>>
>>2203572
The Quran says not to take Christians/Jews as 'auliya, better translated in context as 'protectors,' as the revelation was a command to the Muslims who were warring with the pagan Meccans not to hide behind the Christians/Jews, so as not to burden them with their problems.

But yeah sodomy is a sin. To promote it is also sinful. However, being gay is not sinful per se, only the act of sodomy is--that could be a way to justify it for those people.

>>2205668
except islam has known only that from the very start even with Muhammed
>>
>>2205685
>>2205765
Islam was no more violent or expansionist than any other religion at the time. Christian Rome/Byzantine and Zoronastrian Persia were both expansionist warmongering states that ruled through authoritarian means before and after Muhammed did his thing. Europe not being in a constant state of war is something that only happened very recently. Need I remind you that WWII, the most killtacular event in human history was fought within living peoples lifetimes and was started by Christians Germany invading Christian Poland which brought in Christian France and Christian England and then brought in a Russia that while officially atheist had a citizenry that still contained a bunch of closet Christians.
>>
>>2198918
I genuinely don't know why leftists side with Islam. Please explain it to me.
>>
>>2205924
They don't "side" with it. They just have the audacity to believe that people should be given the same rights and treated the same way regardless of their religions. Of course we conservatives know that thing like "Civil Rights" and "Freedom" are limited physical resources and to let a Muslim have them means it gets taken away from a Christian, Just like how when Gays got the right to marry we had to take away the right to marry from Straights because there just aren't enough civil rights to go around.
>>
>>2205674

This isn't really true- liberation ideology came out of christian communities.
>>
>>2205916
the difference is people did violent things and were also Christian, but Jesus was a very non violent and peaceful person who became a martyr
Mohammed was a violent conqueror by all accounts

Christianity became violent because it was corrupted by those who followed it differently to its founder
Islam is only non violent when it's followed differently to its founder

1.- a religious thing
2.- protecting your partner and yourself in the eyes of the law via mutual rights and obligations

That's it. As long as there are 2 consenting adults, anything should be valid.

The point is that you can't marry someone who can't say yes nor be held legally responsible of his or her actions. So stones, cats and little kids don't work, however if you want to marry your brother, sister, or both, go for it faggot.

The left/right political divide is an economic one not a religious/moral one
So the answer is no, islam is neither left or right.
It is however authoritarian in nature.

That's a partnership and you can go into business with anyone you want.

Kinda what I'm saying. I'm not against gay marriage at all, go on and marry whoever you want (who is a human of consenting age in your jurisdiction).
Just don't ask religious denominations whose holy books deem homosexuality a sin to host your ceremony; you can get married without a church intervening you know.
