How is islam supposed to be a religion of peace when it was literally founded on conquest? Christianity was founded by a prophet who endured suffering imposed by the wickedness of humanity, and yet he forgave all sin. Muh-hummus on the other hand was some fucking lunatic with multiple child wives, whom he fucked, whose favorite color was green, and felt the only way to make people believe him was by force. I dont know, islam doesnt sound much like a religion of peace.

OP I like your line of reasoning,

but it would be better/more accurate to just state muhammad talked peace until he had enough followers to to go on the warpath.

I think the bigger difference is in the books.

the bible is not a single book, it's a collection of many books,
I mean there's the old testament and the New Testament, in the New Testament there's 4 seperate accounts of roughly the same events, followed by some letters which lack context (as in what the letter was in reply too), and some narratives about the lives of the apostles after jesus had died/resurrected/ascended. The ending is a fucking feverdream by a guy who was living in exile on a rock in the Mediterranean.

The nature of the bible is so much more flexible than the Koran, which seems very much explicitly designed to NOT be flexible, from the "it must be original arabic", to "Last Prophet" to all the other shit in it, it seems deliberately designed to shore up a theocracy.

Islam does not mean peace, it means submission; by letting god or whatever control yer fate you are hoping for peace.
That being said Islam did not solely spread through conquest but by trade and even by just a local king converting b/c it sounds cool and shieet.


If you are looking for a peaceful sect of Islam you have to seek out the Batiniyya sects of Islam. This is found in the Bektashi and more so in the Alevi of Anatolia.

Just compare the fate of pagans in Northern Europe and Muslims in Spain with the fate of pagans in Mesopotamia, such as the Yazidi and the Sabeans and of Christians in the Levant and Egypt.

Christianity was always more intolerant than Islam, and if from the 20th century onwards that "changed", it's only because Christianity became less relevant.
>>
>>3156901
First, it wasn't literally founded on conquest. The reason why Muhammad attacked and Conquered Mecca is because the people on Mecca keep denying the Muhammad's Divine Revelation (though Muhammad has already been so kind and peaceful in the way he spread Islamic doctrine). That's why he fled to medina and organized his army to prepare the counterattack.

>Then how about early Muslim conquest
There was many reason of it, but mainly because Arab was surrounded by two Major empire (Byzantine and Sassanids) and being passive without doing anything is not a wise thing to do.

>>3156987
Well, I am Alevi. The sect is how the nomadic Turks of central Asia interpreted Islam when they first encountered it from the Sufi. These nomadic Turks had shamanism and Buddhism so they readily mixed these with their Islam, and added Christianity and Zoroastrianism to it when they came to Anatolia over Iran.


Alevism has the following; infinite reincarnation and achieving godhood/semi divinity like Buddhism, extreme respect for fire like Zoroastrianism, supposedly our Semah is descendent from shamanism, and Ali is supposedly held the same with us as Jesus to Christians (some claim we are just wildly heretic Christians)

Well certainly a religion that condones violence is going to bring us closer to global peace. Even if the entire world converted to islam, every nation would still have its own interests, just as no matter how religiously homogeneous europe was, there was still some kind of conflict. And look at it before the islamic refugee crisis, it had been in peace for a damned long time. Now the EU is dissolving in its own multiculti cesspool.

>>
>>3156731
Well thats an extremely simplistic, biased and uninformed view of the founding of Islam.

Yes the founding is surrounded by military conflict, but the first 13 years were nothing but peaceful preaching in the face of continual ridicule, and the final years of war were not started by the Muslims, who had managed to set up their own state only to be declared war upon by all those around them.

It should also be noted that Muhammad forced no one to believe, even when he finally conquered Mecca, capturing the people who had persecuted him the most, he did not force them to convert, or kill them.
>>
>>3156894
I dont understand
Are you contending that Islam was not founded on conquest? Because that is the stupidest thing ive ever read on this whole board.
The fucking seminal moment of Islams early days was the conquest of Mecca. After that its pretty much nonstop conquest until they reached France. Islam has never spread to be the major religion of anywhere (with the literal only exception being Indonesia) without violent force.
Retards like you always bring up Christian conquests as if that somehow is relevant so im just gonna go ahead and say that yes Christianity also spread with a lot of violent force, after all the entire new world was violently colonized by christians. But Christianity has spread peacefully in many other places, whereas Islam only kind of has spread peacefully to maybe one place.

i mean, if threatening all non believers with death or life as a step above slaves compared to non muslims isnt forcing then i dont know what is.

oh my god you are fucking retarded. So because it was based totally on peaceful resistance for 13 years and then violent expansion and then persecution for literally the rest of its history even up until today we should consider it a peaceful religion?
Why dont we consider all christians peace loving hippies? I mean thats what it was founded on right? So all of their actions after that dont matter at all.

Not him, but arabia was surrounded by the persian empire, and the byzantine empire, if they didn't conquer they would be conquered themselves. Muhammad and the caliphs knew this. It was the time of conquer and conquest.
>>
>>3157496
Well, how does that refute the point?
You just confirmed that it was necessarily born of conquest, since that was the nature of the time.
>>
>>3157469
The conquest of pagans happened hundreds of years after the death of christ.
Its inception was not of conquest. He lived his entire life as a virgin pacifist.
>>
>>3156774
This desu Muhammad wasn't bad until the Quraysh got fed up with his shit, which prompted him to move to Medina. It didn't help either that the Jews fucked with him there too.
Muhammad was at least fairly kind for a conqueror, but he was not peaceful, nor were his rightly guided caliphs.
>>
>>3157496
No they wouldn't you fag, both the ERE and the Sassanids had buffer states on the fringes of Arabia because they thought the peninsula was a worthless desert full of pagan warriors and didn't want them going into their own territory.
Arabia was never a legitimate target for either state.

Jews on the other hand manage to have war in their bible, but get conquered utterly and sprinkled across the western world, and still exist today as a moderately peaceful religion.

Only Muslims have this problem needing to convince the world they follow a peaceful ideology. It would do them such a credit if they could just own the violence or cry out for reformation.
Instead we get neither, we have this culture of bad liars and apologists and it just reinforces the hate.

The best the modern world gets is pic related shit, calling it "assimilation".
Like female circumcision is suddenly a wholesome American tradition if the girl's wearing a flag.

That is because outside of Qur'anists and some other quasi-heretical sects the Islamic world is at least 100-200 years behind in essentially every aspect that is the "modern" world.

Jews were not surrounded by the two most powerful and conquering empires at the time. The Muslims defeated these two empires, after that they didn't need conquest.
>inb4 crusades
Crusades was a conquest to take back what was the Muslims' before
So after the Muslims defeated these two most powerful empires, they didn't need to conquer. Muslims never conquered Indonesia, yet Indonesia has the most Muslims today. Africa was not touched by Muslims yet Africa is Muslim today. (North)
>>3157558
>You just confirmed that it was necessarily born of conquest, since that was the nature of the time.
Yes, that's the point. Muhammad was a smart man, he knew what he was dealing with. The medieval era is not the modern world, you can't compare the two.
>>3157590
>Arabia was never a legitimate target for either state
This was before Muhammad, after Muhammad came the two empires realized that the Arabs had united and they posed a great threat. Thus the war began and Allah (SWT) granted victory to the Muslimeen.

the black t-shirt explains it all. It says, reading the symbols logically, "I islamically love islam". The symbol for love is embedded in the religious one. Coherence in own religious identity is more important than a concept ( such as love ) which could allow religions to communicate with each other. I of course completely overinterpretate the sht out of this t-shirt, but you get the general idea that might answer your question.

That's a nice whitewashing of Jesus who thought gentiles were dogs and was a leader of a pro-Jewish and anti-Roman sect.

You're taking Pauline Christianity and retroactively applying it to Jesus himself who had different views (as far as historians can even agree on the basics).

Also Christianity became more than a minority religion in the Roman empire due to imperial support and via directly combatting other cults at the end of the day.

In the ideological war against Islam, you're starting to see even right-wing atheists try to fit Christianity in an idealized monolithic mold that it never belonged to and it's too funny.

>>3156971
>Just compare the fate of pagans in Northern Europe and Muslims in Spain with the fate of pagans in Mesopotamia, such as the Yazidi and the Sabeans and of Christians in the Levant and Egypt.

That's just trolling right? Pagans and other sects in Europe were actually more persecuted than 'people of the book' were in Muslim lands before the modern radicalization. Not that there wasn't persecution and basically second-class status for most minorities in the past, including non-Muslims in Islam.

Islam spread peacefully to places like Hungary in the 8th-10th centuries, the northern Caucasus, Mozambique, and Malabar as well as several smaller merchant/marine colonies in Southern China, Indochina, and Subsaharan Africa before the rise of the Fulani.

Also, Islam's seminal moment is Muhammad's escape to Medina. It's kind of why its calendar begins on that date, and not on the day of Muhammad's return which is considered a formality after the more celebrated and pivotal earlier and disadvantaged battles of Badr, Uhud, and the Trench.

>>3156731
The mistake people make is thinking Islam, or any of the larger religions, are actually founded at a certain moment by one person. Jesus did not found Christianity any more than Muhammad founded Islam. These two figures were apocalyptic preachers who attained a great spiritual reputation within their lifetimes to influence like-minded bureaucrats to consolidate their ideals into a stable philosophical school of thought. Christianity was not founded amidst the Roman subjugation of Judea but in the various urban metropolises of the Eastern Mediterranean looking back on sketchy reports of events in Judea some years before. Islam was not founded amidst the wars of the Hedjaz but in the urban boomtowns of Kufa and Basra looking back on sketchy reports of events in Arabia some years before.

Islam's real problem is big-tent politics which had them include specifically violent philosophies and cultures into the patchwork of Islamic communities historically, and in modern times the break down of the boundaries between these communities because of modern communication technology. It's a federation with compromises for some violent ideologies because of the violent cultures which had always existed in the border regions between the more civilized regions of the Middle East and those of Europe, India, or China.

You are misunderstanding the aims of the religion and the inherent cruelty and oppression of the State. The bible warns about the evils of kings, and Christianity teaches that followers of Christ should not be concerned with worldly affairs.
Islam however mandates that the entire world should be fought with until everyone submits to Islam, and gives very detailed descriptions of how this submission can take place with the Jizya and other laws for Dhimmi.

>>
>>3159319
I'll concede the bulk of Islamist states may have been, because of the religion's autistic description of bringing about a worldwide caliphate. Meanwhile Christianity was coopted by the Roman Empire and then religious orthodoxy became a mattwr of loyalty or rebellion against the state.
Christianity is naturally apolitical. Pat your taxes, obey laws, and you can be a good Christian. There is nothing about a Christian State in the teachings of Christ or the epistles
The Quran literally describes how an Islamic state functioned under Muhammad.
In both cases you have states using religion as a method of gaining legitimacy and gaining support but one is being shoehorned into an oppressive tool, the other is an oppressive tool.
>>
>>3159341
Not him, so I don't agree that Islam has no issues with tolerating religious minorities, but to say Christianity is unconcerned with worldly affairs while Islam mandates it is incorrect also. The evils of kings as part of the reason why Arabia united behind a prophet in the first place, why the early Islamic theological community focused so heavily on antinomian attitudes towards kingly authority, and so on. What people construe as a mandate and 'detailed descriptions' of a world conquest plan are in fact theoretical and academic extrapolations of ideologies far smaller in scope (legal jurisprudence about no-man's-land between Muslim held territory and hostile provinces) and later attributing of themes of submission and persecution onto archaic tax codes and sumptuary laws designed for the complete opposite purpose.

>>3159378
>The Quran literally describes how an Islamic state functioned under Muhammad.
It doesn't. Not even the Hadiths go into much detail about that, which is why the vast majority of Islamic jurisprudence in history was focused on personal law with most everything dealing with matters of state being extrapolated from local customs or on precedent of later caliphs and sultans. For being naturally apolotical, it was Christianity which had bishoprics acting as political units for both law and taxation while almost every instance of an Islamic equivalent were the result of a short-lived heretical revolt.
>>
>>3159319
Incorrect. Christianity and Islam have completely different approaches to how to deal with non believers. This is embodied in how each deals with proselytization. In Christianity, the method is to ask them to follow you, Christ says that those who do not attach themselves to the message will not do so because they are not ready. He likens belief to seeds cast on a field, and where the seeds take root is where the holy are. Muhammad on the other hand was a conqueror who exlusively preached a convert or die methodology.
>>
>>3159423
No, all of that is incorrect. Both faiths are in theory interested in calling people to belief without compulsion, but in practice have been coercive in their approach. Christianity however has been historically very jealous of sacred spaces whereas Islam was more concerned about establishing boundaries between communities. Muhammad did not exclusively preach a convert or die ideology either. In fact he did not preach any sort of ideology, one was merely extrapolated from sermons that were specifically targeting polities like "pagan" Mecca by later writers, and even they did not draw up a convert or die methodology.

The "religion of peace" part is bullshit. Pretend it's the only one that justifies or justified religious violence is retarded however.

For instance, the Northen Crusades exist for Christianity; and currently Buddhists in Burma are actively suppressing Muslims.

In short, all religions, if they want to have a chance at spreading beyond the size of a sect, must at some point allow for some kind of message of peace. That's where the point of "religion of peace" comes up: you can conquer all you want, but as a religion that is still a minority, you cannot afford to literally kill every single infidel, because you don't have the resources needed to do that and suppress any backlash from "old believers." And, even then, acting as if non-believers don't exist/ don't matter is a losing proposition.

Islam acknowledges the supposed legitimacy of other Abrahamic religions. Muslims believe Moses and Jesus to be prophets of God, so don't go thinking that Muhammad is the sole figure of what Islam truly is. He was just one, possibly the last, to Muslims.

Basically, Muslims believe in a single, almighty God that connects with humanity in numerous different forms. One could say the prophets all represent different aspects of humanity: our desires, our drives, our ideals, etc.

Islam is about acknowledging how mortal we are. It's about equality and peace. The only hierarchy that true Muslims believe in is Allah over humanity.

Islam allows for some of the legitimacy within but disagrees with both in many ways. Jews don't consider Jesus a prophet and neither do Christians (who was and is the target OF the prophesies in their worldview) the attempt to compromise served to piss off both parties long term.

>The nature of the bible is so much more flexible than the Koran, which seems very much explicitly designed to NOT be flexible
Exactly. That's also because Islam was historically a religion of merchands and traders. It's designed to be extremely straightforward and practical. Which is a huge part of the reasons why they completely throw off all the questions of "am I doing good in this life ? what should I do to become a better muslim ? etc." (questions and fears still supposedly presents in christianism) by installing the assanat as some kind of credits for heaven.

*liberated
and so did the entire Muslim conquest, they were more like liberating rather than conquering, the non-Christian under Byzantine rule were getting oppressed and can't perform their religious act safely (take example the jews in Jerussalem) different thing when it was under Islamic caliphate.

Christian surely is peaceful religion, eh?

You people seem awfully confident that Jesus is just fine with you lugging him around using him as a vehicle to spread Moses' law to the world.

>Muhammad was a smart man, he knew what he was dealing with. The medieval era is not the modern world, you can't compare the two.

Pretty much this desu, at the time Jesus lives peacefully under Roman rule so he shouldn't bother to raise an army like "haha fuck it, am gonna kill myself to prove them that my preachings is the most righteous, so probably they will realize that they are basically retarded and finally submit to my glorious doctrines".

Jesus would probably do the same if he was a born in a land full of dessert which the people itself can't even write and surrounded by two major empire.

Considering he changed Jewish and Christian lore to fit his narrative (on par or more than what Paul did) I would say Muhammad is the only actually important figure in the entire Qur'an, every one else is merely a familiar puppet for his ideologies.

No he wouldn't have run away and raised an army. Part of his whole message was that they shouldn't rebel against the government, even if they persecuted.

WHAT IS JIHAD MAY I ASK YOU, LITTLE GIRL.
GO ask all those 5-12 yr old kids that watched the film Al-Risala (the message) 1973 what is your wish. they d say to go back in the era of mohamed and do JIHAD.
Islam is the only true religion.
>islam and misiginy
i dont know what misoginy means to you, but if it means treating woman as shit, then islam is not misoginostic and before islam women were trully treated like shit. like if a man finds his woman gave birth to a girl, he'd burry her alive. out pf fear of what is coming for here.

to be honest Islam is a mix.
>women have no power to divorce
>women must obey the husband
>wife cant sue here husband for """rape"''"
wtf seriously if fucking your wife is rape then what is the purpose of marriage.
Now,the pussywhipping side.

>men MUST give wife alimony
sadly
>men MUST spend on thier kids
>must spend on the boys untill the age of 18-20 he is free to not.
>must spend on daughters untill they marry.
how much to spend is not precised of course but the bare minimum is to afford shelter food and clothing.

so in islam men are still the providers.
but its fair.
cause women arent allowed to fuck shit up. remeber ypu only have the right to divorce. but now with the globalism she can divorce. i dont remeber where the wife cant divorce thing, wait i ll search it up again. no its not forbidden its harder.
the reason is women are more emotional then men , and if given the right then divorce will spread easly and the society will colapse. like the west following the steps of Rome.
Islam is the right religion.
if the west takes islam as THIER religion then they would may i say rise into a golden age. imperialsim and colonialism would be brought back in full force.
islam isnt a costume or a beard.
>muh islam is an idiology

>marital rape doesn't exist

You are probably baiting but it's funny how people do shitloads of mental gymnastics to say that marital rape isn't a thing.

Also, I unironically believe that Islam is the final "redpill" of the world since it's the only religion whose clergy actually believe in their dogma, unlike those millions of protesants priests who just do whatever they can to convert people, even going as far as denying the bible and using the "It wasn't written by God" in a really liberal way.
>>
>>3164455
How is marital rape a thing? Why is not just "rape"? Why are you married to someone who rapes you in the first place?
>>
>>3164467
The "marital" word is there to classify it.

>Why are you married to someone who rapes you in the first place?

nigga what

>wife gets raped
>ask for divorce the next day for obvious reasons

Isn't that marital rape?
>>
>>3156774
Why exactly would you want a "flexible" religion? You think you can just believe anything you want and still call yourself a Christian? That's some Protestant shit.
>>
>>3156971
>wanting to tolerate other faiths
No society has ever been "tolerant", because society will fall apart if people's moral and religious beliefs are too various. Even in the modern West, while we don't believe in the monotheisms, we believe in Universalist liberalism. Disbelieving in liberalism in 2017 is like disbelieving in God in 1617. You will be discriminated against for having different beliefs.

This is all healthy. While I'm not a fan of liberalism, I would want my own beliefs imposed on others in the same way. Free speech is an illusion.

>when it was literally founded on conquest
Conquest, but not genocide. Once the local army and rulers were either destroyed/converted, that was pretty much the end of violence there. The average sand farmer in Syria, North Africa, or Spain wasn't affected all that much by the Islamic conquests.

Paul was a pretty cool dude though. Jesus was a reformer of Judaism, as were Peter and the rest of the apostles. Paul's vision was much broader, building upon the philosophy of Jesus (as I understand it) and making it more universally palatable. He came in to conflict on a few occasions with the other apostles on their treatment of gentiles. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Paul unironically did nothing wrong.

Jesus only preached for three years, in that time the people hated Roman rule so they accepted Christianity. Muhammad preached for 23 and had control over a large peninsula of arabs. Muhammad's first 3 years were like Jesus', so if You're gonna compare Muhammad to Jesus compare the first 3 years of their preaching and you'll find Muhammad exactly like Jesus.
