Just curious, since we are taking in soo many immigrants, how do we reform Islam?
>>
>>7890870
It needs to undergo the same reforms that Christianity, and traditionally Christian nations, have already undergone.
>>
>>7890932
How do we reform Islamic law though?

It is rooted in the Quran and I don't mean in the same way that Christian law was inspired by the Bible. The Quran literally functions as a political book of law.

Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females"


Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women."

Save for literally ripping out pages, how do you accomplish this? The Bible didn't have as severe a problem.

To note the last time the Bible was severly edited was Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.

There was some edits made because it was translated several times, but I don't think this is possible in the modern age.

I'm not entirely sure how you would go about editing the Quran, when it hasn't even happened in a real way in Christianity in 1700 years.

So can we admit that while Christianity is flawed, it is infinitely better for modern society than Islam.

People are just not willing to admit that 1 set of religious ideas isn't equal to another set of religious ideas.

Now there are certain aspects where Islam is better, such as abortion.

> In Islam, the fetus is believed to become a living soul after four months of gestation,[1] and abortion after that point is generally viewed as impermissible. Many Islamic thinkers recognize exceptions to this rule for certain circumstances; indeed, Azizah Y. al-Hibri notes that "the majority of Muslim scholars permit abortion, although they differ on the stage of fetal development beyond which it becomes prohibited."[2] According to Sherman Jackson, "while abortion, even during the first trimester, is forbidden according to a minority of jurists, it is not held to be an offense for which there are criminal or even civil sanctions."[3]

Now this isn't to say that Muslims are more accepting of abortion than Christians, but if you tried to introduce abortion to Islamic countries, you'd have a pretty easy case arguing for it unlike in Christian countries

You can't reform it because of how Islamic law works.

You can reform Christianity because it is very interpretative, but when it comes to Islam, there isn't much room, there are very clear rules when it comes to interpretation, it doesn't exist. Each following Sura is more important than the last.

How exactly do you reform these quotes straight from the base book

>Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"

>
Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."

>Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."

>
Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority"

>Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

Did you even fucking read the article? Also, haven't you ever thought that maybe people who follow a religion will sometimes ignore the things they don't like about that religion? Plenty of Christians do it, why can't Muslims?
>>
>>7891048
>Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home).Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward "

Muslims who do not physically engage in war are literally considered less of a muslim by their doctrine, how exactly do you reform this?

>Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

>Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" ISIS didn't have to dig much to get their inspiration

>Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."

>Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..." There goes the Geneva convention.
>>
>>7891068

>>7891068
Because it's law?

Because while the Bible is hateful sometimes, it did get retconned and it doesn't specifically say to murder anyone, it just shares horrible stories of murder of peoples who are long dead.

It doesn't literally say "attack and kill this and this religious group (Christians and Jews). Samson might have killed thousands of Philistines in the Bible, but it never says tokill more Philistines and they don't even exist anymore.

That's the difference, Islam is both a law, a political and a religious book. The bible is just a religious book.

Christianity is just repackaged Roman stoicism, The core focus is on self improvement and becoming a better person.

Islam's core is a harsh set of rules for sustaining and slowly spreading Islam. Homosexuality does not help Islam in any way.

> "Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war... When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them."

Islam is structured as a political ideology, it's hard to understand that for people who grew up with Christianity and assume Islam is the same with a few tweeks here and there.

To be clear what the quote means. It means when conquering a peoples, you either force them to convert, kill them or make them pay a 20%+ tax called Jizya, mind you 20% tax was a big deal at the time, it literally made the difference between starving and making ends meet, from a historical context.

This is the difference, Islam is literally a guidebook to proliferating your ideology.

I very much encourage anyone to read the Quran for themselves
>>
>>7891077

The words don't matter, when the question is simply whether or not it can possibly ever be reformed. It's just a soft cultural thingy and so it can change. Period. It might be more rigid and stable than Christianity, sure. That's not saying much.

All that's needed is, say, an upswelling of popular sentiment among Muslims against whatever bit of the religion you don't like, one that's great enough to eventually trickle up to the top of the religion's hierarchy and trigger a Holy Council or some such, at which some douches in ornate headgear will officially change the rules to something you like better. Any part of it can change. If they continue calling it Islam and it sort of looks like Islam, then it'll still be Islam. Problem solved.

>>7890969
I mean you're right but your crusader imagery implies that Christianity isn't to be eradicated as well, which is obviously false.

I don't understand how people could argue with this, the evidence is very clear that religious ideologies are not all the same.

Jainism isn't the same as Christianity and Christianity isn't the same as Hinduism and Hinduism isn't the same as Islam.

Believe it or not, what the religious texts say, has an ACTUAL impact of how the followers of said religions behave.

Shocking I know.

Or go visit one of those scary countries (if you're capable of not looking like a gendermixed monster in the eyes of the locals) and actually talk to some people there. Or, to make it much easier, go to Germany and meet some refugees while mostly surrounded by relatively safe European culture.

But that might actually answer some questions, and raise unexpected new questions, and answer those in turn. And learning terrifies politikids.
>>
>>7891151
Ohh I'm not saying it is impossible, it is just a bunch of words on paper, but with 1.5 Billion muslims, it is improbable.

It is just as likely as Moldova becoming a first world power and a global empire.
>>
>>7891172
Are you stupid? Do you think I think Muslims are evil?

No, but as long as there is Islam, a relatively big minority will cause large problems, once the minority becomes big enough, they overthrow your government and make a theocracy.

Have you talked to any Iranians before their revolution, it didn't exactly help them from becoming a theocracy, what exactly is your point?

The thing is that the book is just that; it's a book. It doesn't matter what the book itself says if people ignore it. A religion is made of its people, not its book. Islam is made of Muslims, not the Quran. The Quran can't be changed, but Muslims are people and people are always changing. Say they're not 'real' Muslims all you like, but it doesn't matter. Religion has been distorted for the modern era many times, and if the people are so willing, it will be distorted again.

Yeah ehmm, hello Eurocentric point of view from somebody who doesn't understand foreign philosophy or foreign religion.

THE reason why Christianity changed was it's proclivity to interpretation. Sisyphus will have an easier time accomplishing his task than you "reforming" Islam

For the last time, and I don't plan to waste more time on somebody who hasn't actually read the Quran, Islam is VERY literal, there is almost zero room for interpretation.

You can engage in wishful thinking as much as you want, but in this case you are simply wrong, reforming Islam, literally means abandoning it, which I'm all in favor off, I don't think there is anything wrong with Muslims aside from their religion, and possibly their absurdly high rates of incest.

Not really. The 5 pillars are what's considered important to Islam at its core; if the belief in 5 pillars and nothing else is spread, nobody would have an issue. The problem is outdated things like Sharia.

>Fleeing from the battlefield. When the Muslims meet the disbelievers in battle, the one who flees and deserts his brothers on the day of battle, when the disbelievers march against the Muslims or the Muslims march against the disbelievers – the one who flees and deserts his brothers is subject to this stern warning (interpretation of the meaning): “unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)” [al-Anfaal 8:16] that is, unless he is recruiting to prepare himself, bring his weapon and put on his armour in preparation for fighting, which does not do any harm, or he is moving from one detachment to another, or from one rank to another, or from one group to another, as part of a plan against the enemy.

right, i'm a muslim guy and i'll say sharia is a fairly recent invention thats derived from hadith, and interpretations of the quran.

in otherwords, some old cunts in a circle started to jerk off and write random laws which they thought were good for all of islam and then said they were the authority and voice for all muslims.

and the clerics, are certainly not the voice of muslims, theyre just clerics.

islam is hard to reform all in 1 go, because it has no central authority, each muslim is supposed to decide for himself (obviously people are lazy and follow sects), it has no pope or anything to give some divine order.

also just saying, the only real muslims are the shia muslims.

Except similar statements ARE found in the Bible. I don't know about the context of those Quran passages, but just from what you've posted, you're not making the Quran look like something that "literally functions as a political book of law" any more than the Bible does.

>>7891048
Christianity wasn't always open to interpretation. Before the Protestant Reformation, there was only one interpretation of the Bible in Europe, which the Catholic Church's interpretation (remember most people didn't own bibles and were illiterate at this point), anyone who came up with their own interpretation was burned at the stake as a heretic. It wasn't until afterwards that interpretation became a valid concept. It's not that interpretation is a prerequisite for reformation, it's actually the opposite.

>"literally functions as a political book of law" any more than the Bible does.

(o8.1) - When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.

(o8.4) - There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (since it is killing someone who deserves to die).

Acts that define "leaving Islam" and being subject to execution are listed in o8.7. They include:
-2- to intend to commit unbelief, even if in the future

-3- to deny the existence of Allah... or any of his attributes

-6- to be sarcastic about Allah's name, his command, his interdiction... or his threat

-7- to deny any verse of the Quran

-8- to mockingly say, "I don't know what faith is"

-17- to believe that things in themselves or by their own nature have any causal influence independent of the will of Allah

(o9.0) - Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion...

The scriptural basis for jihad... is such Koranic verses as:
-1- “Fighting is prescribed for you'' (Koran 2: 216);
-2- “Slay them wherever you find them'' (Koran 4: 89);
-3- “Fight the idolators utterly'' (Koran 9: 36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
“I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah'';
(o9.1) - Jihad [against non-Muslims in their own countries ] is a communal obligation... "He who provides the equipment for a soldier in Jihad has himself performed Jihad"

(o9.7) - The caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians until they become Muslim or pay the non-Muslim poll tax in accordance with the word of Allah Most High:
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Quran 9.29))
(o9.9) - The caliph fights all other people until they become Muslim

m3.4 - 3.7 say that a woman may not "conduct her own marriage", meaning that she is not free to marry by choice. A male guardian is required to validate the marriage agreement.

m3.8 says that a woman is not free to choose her guardian. It is assigned by family relation. Once she is married, she becomes the charge of her husband's guardianship.

A Muslim woman may not marry a non-Muslim man (Quran 2:221). An untranslated portion of the Sharia even forbids an Arab woman from marrying a non-Arab man (source).

(m13.4) - A woman has no right to custody of her children from a previous marriage when she remarries.

(m5.1) - It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when he asks her... and she can physically endure it.

(m10.11-2) - It is not lawful for a wife to leave the house except by the permission of her husband.

(m10.11) - When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness in his wife, he warns her in words. If she commits rebelliousness, he keeps from sleeping with her without words, and may hit her, but not in a way that injures her, meaning he may not break bones, wound her, or cause blood to flow.

(o4.9) - The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.

(L10.3) - Divide the universal share so the male receives the portion of two females (Rule of inheritance based on the Quran 4:11)

(m2.3) - It is unlawful for women to leave the house with faces unveiled
>>
>>7891536
>>7891957
(o4.9) - The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid of a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that a Muslim.

(h8.24) - It is not permissible to give zakat to a non-Muslim.

(e2.3) - It is offensive to use the vessels [dishes] of non-Muslims or wear their clothes.

e8.3 says that a non-Muslim may not touch the Quran.

f21.2 says that non-Muslims are not allowed to 'mix' with Muslims at certain events.

g1.2 says that it is permissible for a Muslim to visit a non-Muslim who is ill, but not recommended. (Same with visiting the grave of a non-Muslim relative - g5.8)

(L5.2) - a non-Muslim may not inherit from a Muslim. (or vice versa)

o1.2 states that there is no penalty for a Muslim who kills a non-Muslim

o11.0-11 says that non-Muslim subjects of an Islamic state may live free from harm if they
- pay a special 'poll' tax (the jizya)

- comply with certain Islamic rules, specifically the penalty for adultery (stoning) and theft (amputation)

- distinguish themselves from Muslims by dressing differently

- keep to the side of the side of the street when Muslims pass

- accept a lesser form of greeting

- agree not to build new churches or build houses higher than those of Muslims
The agreement is broken (meaning that the non-Muslim may be lynched) if he breaks the rules, fails to pay the poll tax, "leads a Muslim away from Islam", "mentions something impermissible" about Islam, or has sex with a non-Muslim woman.

(o22.13) - The judge treats two litigants impartially, seating both in places of equal honor, attending to each, and so forth, unless one is a non-Muslim, in which case he gives the Muslim a better seat

Slavery:

A large section of the Sharia is devoted to codifying the practice of slavery (k32.0). The Reliance of the Traveller omits these rules from the English language translation, perhaps to obscure the comfortable relationship between Islam and slavery. However, parts from other sections address both the capture of slaves and the sanctioning of forced conversion under obvious duress.

(o9.13) - When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman's previous marriage is immediately annulled.

(o9.14) - When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph considers the interests (O: of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner's death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy. If the prisoner becomes a Muslim (O: before the caliph chooses) then he may not be killed, and one of the other three alternatives is chosen.

(o9.12) Whoever enters Islam before being captured may not be killed or his property confiscated, or his young children taken captive.

o4.9 is one of several rules that establish slaves as property, to be traded as a form of restitution.

o20.2 makes it clear that a slave freed as a method of expiation must be a "sound Muslim."

Permissible Lying (Taqiyya)

(r8.2) - The Prophet said, "He who settles disagreements between people to bring about good or says something commendable is not a liar.''

Kulthum added, "I did not hear him permit untruth in anything people say, except for three things: war, settling disagreements and a man talking with his wife or she with him (in smoothing over differences)''

This is an explicit statement that lying is sometimes permissible for a given interest...

Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory...

Whether the purpose is war, settling a disagreement, or gaining the sympathy of a victim legally entitled to retaliate against one so that he will forbear to do so; it is not unlawful to; lie when any of these aims can only be attained through lying. But is religiously more precautionary in all such cases to employ words that give misleadng impression, meaning to intend by one's words something that is literally true, in respect to which one is not lying while the outward purport of the words deceives the hearer...

One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, on is entitled to lie...

You fucking can't. :DDD

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals.
They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
(Al-Hijr 15:9-15)

Falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it; [it is] a revelation from a [Lord who is] Wise and Praiseworthy. (Al-Fussilat 41:42)

And to you faggots:

Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people." (Al-A'raf 7:81)

"Verily, you do sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer (travellers, etc.)! And practise Al-Munkar (disbelief and polytheism and every kind of evil wicked deed) in your meetings." But his people gave no answer except, that they said: "Bring Allah's Torment upon us if you are one of the truthful."

And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort. They said, "Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.
Surely We will cause to come down upon the people of this town a punishment from heaven, because they transgressed.
And verily of that We have left a clear sign for people who have sense.

(Al-'Ankabut 29:31-35)

When Muslims live next to people of other religions they become more tolerant.
Isolation makes them more militant.
We need to welcome Muslims into our neighborhoods and let our children intermarry with their children.

Calling Muslims ``cavepeople" isn't meaningful. They've been raised and indoctrinated into following a violent and backwards ideology, but psychologically they're still human. Civilized people aren't any more wiser or more psychologically mature, they're just fortunate enough to have been raised in a society that encourages questioning and independent thought. But even civilized people had ancestors who were barbaric fanatics, much like Muslims are today. Look at some of the stuff that happened in Europe during the Protestant Reformation, those people were just as barbaric as Muslims are today. Yet they were able to move past it; there's no reason to think Muslims can't, so long as the right sociocultural factors exist.

There are people who follow reformed versions of Islam. The people who are the most extreme about following the Quran are the minority - they just have power in a lot of these places.

I mean, take Judaism. You probably think it's reformed, because you meet mostly Jews who follow specific versions of it that aren't extremely literalist and open to adapting to modern society. But there are Orthodox Jews, who believe that the Torah is law and also completely god-approved without human biases affecting it. I know a good deal of people who are Orthodox and they vary widely, which is my experience as well with most muslims that believe in this flawless Quran type thing (again, there are many who don't, but still believe in what they see as the core tenets, like modesty, charity, prayer, oneness of God).

It's the 4chan equivalent of being super edgy to say this but I actually grew up with atheist parents AND 3 atheist grandparents. But my grandma was Jewish and I ended up being more or less practicing. Now that I live abroad I've had to basically get involved with the Orthodox community and I have to say, I think even with them, progress is happening. It's just slower, and it NEVER works when it's from the outside. Then they get defensive. And I think more than anything the extremist branches of Islam are politically motivated, just like the crusades were politically motivated. People want money and power. You can get a lot of people to follow you if you convince them and yourself that you're doing it for holy reasons.

I didn't say we need them though, just that trying to solve the ``Muslim problem" with violence is impractical. I mean, look at the Holocaust - Hitler had basically the entire German military under his control, and there were only about 9 million Jews in Europe in total. Yet, in 12 years, he only managed to kill about 2/3 of that population. Sure, Hitler made many stupid mistakes and there were obvious inefficiencies in his plan, but even so, it's absolutely ridiculous to think that you and a bunch of your friends will be even able to make a dent in the Muslim population. All you're likely to accomplish is get yourself thrown in jail for hate crimes.

...The Torah says to stone them to death. It's just that the criteria for being found guilty are so stringent.

I guess religious Jews are a bad example since they've never been in the majority since forever ago. But take Catholics. They believed in the same stuff, and acted on it in more or less the same way for centuries (a lot longer than this particular form of conservative Islam has been around). People were still executed for being gay like 150 years ago. And they still get killed for it in Christian countries. People are people. Stuff can change. It just doesn't necessarily happen in a straight line.

Which means no one under the age of 75 today grew up in a culture accustomed to warfare. Furthermore, we haven't faced open warfare on our own soil since 70 years BEFORE WWII. Sure, we have soldiers that are able to fight, but in a non-conventional war where our civilian population is directly attacked, we're at a substantial disadvantage.

>>7895885
I didn't say a Muslim holocaust was impossible, just that it's ridiculously impractical.

Islam is a theocracy (sharia law).

Christianity is not.

>Islam is 100% incompatible with the secular state.

---

The Quran is written by one person.

The Bible has multiple authors.

>The Bible allows a wider range of interpretation (christian theologists differentiate between the god of the old testament and the god of the new testament, for example)

---

Islam's posterchild is Mohammed, who literally chopped off people's heads and was a pedophile.

Jesus, on the other hand, turned water into wine and stuff likr that, didn't harm anybody. Not a bad guy after all, I guess.

>Muslims are prone to terrorism.

---

A muslim has no right to leave the church. Those who try are persecuted. A muslim is futhermore not allowed to marry a non-muslim.

A christian may leave his church everytime. They may experience some kind of social pressure afterwards (depending on where they live), but they most certainly will not receive any death threads. Christian women are allowed to marry men of any religion.

>Islam forces you to obey. Christianity, on the other hand, wants you to choose to believe.

---


Can go on like this for hours...

It's all pretty obvious, really.

>"B-but, anon! There is this nice muslim person I know!"
Ask them what they think about homosexuality. 51% of all muslims living in the UK think that the homosexual act should be illegal. They do not just think that you will go to hell, they want to enforce laws so you go to jail, get whipped or even killed for "commiting" the homosexual act.

>"O-okay... but a-anon, there are strong and powerful women, who are wearing a hijab because they want to!!"
Kek. They can't even leave their religion properly if they want to.
I know a young muslim women (living in western europe), she personally is secular and does not even wear a hijab. She got herself a non-muslim [spoiler][/spoiler]friend and received death threads by her father and her brother.
>>
>>7895783
I don't know, but I don't think it's helping... It depends on the group. I think the main thing really changing is that people take it for granted a lot less that Christians will be on their side. And when a lot of the anti-Islam rhetoric is about things that the Orthodox do as well - everything from not eating pork to covering themselves - people feel really defensive of all of that. At the same time though I think it's bringing a lot of us together who wouldn't interact otherwise. So when Orthodox young people get to meet gay Jews who practice pretty much everything the same way they do besides that they're gay they start feeling more alright about it.

Let's put it this way, I go to Chabad almost every week and I'm more concerned about them finding out I eat eel than that I like women.
>>
>>7895932
You're missing the point again, white people had been making steps ever since ancient times to lead civilized warfare, gradually step by step, from codes of chivalry to the rights of man the white man has been building a civilized world and muslims have proven themselves incapable to adapt and adopt a modern fucking lifestyle. Kill them all, the only common language we have with them is violence. No other people show initiative to better the world than whites, which is why ironically you are so fucking naively optimistic when they simply cannot fucking improve as a people. They will always be savages mooching off our inventions and charity.

Ask yourself why no one else made a change from perpetual warfare, China been fighting for longer than we have and still never broke the cycle or changed the world for the better.

We have been nice for far too long, disbanding the colonies was a mistake.
>>
>>7895916
>...The Torah says to stone them to death. It's just that the criteria for being found guilty are so stringent.
No, it's just that THEY DON'T GO AND DO IT.

Christians and Jews, even very religious, traditional and orthodox ones, don't actually do all the horrible shit in their scriptures, with the exception mentioned. Muslims on the other hand commit atrocities far worse even than the ones written about on their books.
>>
>>7895932
>just that it's ridiculously impractical.
Because of moral objection and ethical opposition to such a move.
>>
>>7895943
>Christianity doesn't force you to believe
You don't have to lie about Christianity to criticize Islam. The Inquisition was not very long ago, comparatively. Prior to the Reconquista, Jews lived in Muslim-ruled Spain freely...
>>
>>7895986
I wasn't talking about the past.

There happened a lot of things since the inquisition... the enlightenment for example.

If you choose not to be a christian in the western world, you may get problems with your family. That's nothing compared to what muslims wanting to leave Islam experience.
>>
>>7895970
That's what I'm saying though, they did. It took time to change it. And in pretty recent times, this wasn't happening in Muslim majority countries... it was in the books but people didn't act on it because it didn't work to do. It's got to do with who is in power. If the super religious Christians were in power - and really, truly in power, in an autocratic way - they'd do that shit too.

Again, murdering gay people has been historically super common globally. It being not okay is new. It's not logical to think it can't change with Islam.
>>
>>7896008
Residential schools happened, too. Similar stuff in Australia. Basically forcing 'pagan' kids to become Christian. The fact that it's just problems with your family and not the government has to do with politics, not something about the religion of those Christians being more accepting. And, by the way, said "problems with your family" can include violence, even murder (look at Catholic countries).

And, anyway, the whole exterminating Muslims thing doesn't make sense if you acknowledge coercion involved... Lots of people probably would change if they could. A lot of people want to still be Muslim but don't like these ultra right wing politics.
>>
>>7896012
>That's what I'm saying though, they did. It took time to change it.
It could change in a single generation if we made it. But we don't, because cucks like you defend it with the implication it can only happen over a millennium.

>And in pretty recent times, this wasn't happening in Muslim majority countries... it was in the books but people didn't act on it because it didn't work to do.
Bullshit. Of course there are cases like Persia/Iran, but when was Arabia not cutting off hands for theft? When did it not have slavery? When was it not executing people for witchcraft?

>If the super religious Christians were in power - and really, truly in power, in an autocratic way - they'd do that shit too.
True in the most dishonest sense possible: these super religious Christians are so few and far between they might as well not exist. America has more radical Muslims than radical Christians.

And? You can't just hand-wave those issues away though. There's always going to be people who are opposed to mass murder. And saying "well it would be practical if it wasn't for all the factors making it impractical" isn't really profound, you might as well be saying "rich people wouldn't be rich if they didn't have money" or something equally tautological.

How about ya just stop taking them in, ya dingus!

You can't reform Islam the same way as Christianity reformed. The New Testament modded the barbaric OT with mostly Jesus' philosophy which was basically hippie shit, turn the other cheek, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, love thine neighbor, resist not evil, etc. It didn't stop Christians from doing crusades and inquisitions but when some people wanted society to get civilized there was at least some basis for it already there in their holy book.

And as for Jews they're not a proselytizing/converting religion so even though the conservative ones still believe the OT stuff they don't try to shove it down anybody's throat.

Islam is different. The Koran is much shorter than the Bible, was written by one guy, and has a coherent message throughout which is consistently warlike and bloodthirsty and about killing infidels. And furtherIslam is not like protestantism where they can just reinterpret it any way they want. They also have the hadiths which they accept as gospel truth which have even more extreme and crazy/irrational things.

So this Syrian Muslim guy in prison used to perv on my ass hardcore. He dragged me into his cell, sat me on his toilet and told me to suck his dick.
He pinned me to my friends bed opened my legs and simulated fucking me.
He told me my ass was getting big in the lunch queue.
He caught me praying in my cell and became obsessed with the idea of fucking me while I prayed.
Problem was I'm a top so although he was really hot I just wanted to eat his ass and fuck him.
So one day I went into his cell and told him I want to fuck him in the ass.
He got so fucking mad, he was getting dressed to go to Muslim prayers so I probably chose a bad time.
He told me he's a Muslim and they kill gays in his country, that he's not gay. That he's fucked like ten boys like me, but he's not gay.
He pretty much stopped talking to me after that.
Unfortunately his Russian friend didn't stop asking me how much I charge for blowjobs.
It's a shame he was so insecure over his sexuality as he is really really fucking hot. Like he has long wavy hair, and his body and ass are really hot. I hope one day he can come to terms with his sexuality and take a dick in his sexy ass.

The New Testament was rewritten by a Roman Emperor? Where's your source for that? Sounds like some DaVinci code bullshit. By 'wanted society to get civilized' I was referring to the slow march of progress, Enlightenment values coming in and being accepted even by devout Christians. And I wasn't criticizing protestantism for letting people interpret it any way, if anything we would be better off if Muslims saw the Koran that way as they would have a chance at modernizing, but they don't.

I thought about it because I thought if I put his dick in my mouth I might be able to slip my tongue and even a finger up his ass, but his pervy Russian friend was in the room too and i really had no interest in having to suck him off too.

Establishing the canon does not equal 'rewriting'. You're speculating a lot of Zeitgeist tier stuff but my point is not to defend Christianity, just to point out that a lot of what Jesus said in the Gospels (whether you believe he was a real guy or a fairy tale is irrelevant to my point) was a more forgiving and tolerant spin on OT mythology, and a lot more conducive to modern liberal-democratic values than the OT was and than the Koran is.
>>
>>7898832
I've never read the Quran so I can't comment but you're pretty much right.
I am a gay catholic and pretty much ignore all of the Old Testament because it's repulsive and the parts of Paul's epistles that are homophobic cos he didn't know Jesus so wtf does he know.
All Jesus preached was love and respect. He said the two commandments to follow are Love Thy God and Love Thy Neighbour, and all he said about sex was don't have sex outside of marriage.

When Christianity is forced on you as a kid it's hard to swallow. But reads the bible as an adult and go to church and see how much it transforms your life.
I was a drug addicted slut who ended up in prison and the only thing that saved me was God.
Go to church seriously and read the New Testament

I prefer history to religion. To me, the simple truth is that Jesus of Nazareth was a man, and while the legacy of his teachings in history is fascinating, I could never believe in Jesus as a god. I was raised Roman Catholic, went to Catholic school, the whole shebang. I am familiar with the ritual and teachings, more importantly I am familiar with the history. I could never seriously believe in it. It's nice it helped you turn your life around and I don't act autistic when I go in a church for a wedding, but I am 100% an atheist.

Ask yourself: why Yahweh? Why not one of the other gods? Out of all the world's religions you just happen to have the only true one? I just see your beliefs the same way you see all those other religions.

He was good looking. He was like a white skinned Syrian. He was handsome with shoulder length wavy hair.
Like the old me would want to hook up with him if I saw him in the street.

He was a man and god. How can you turn your back on how you were raised?
I have massive issues with the church such as not having female priests but it's all true.
The Holy Spirit has spoken to me, God has spoken to me. I know he is real.
I suppose if you've never had direct contact with him it's harder to believe.

But you need to go to confession on Saturday and go to mass on Sunday and receive communion. Talk to your priest.

>>7895587
That ignores that the New Testament takes precedence over and supersedes the Old Testament for Christians.
>>
>>7898977
>How can you turn your back on how you were raised?
Because I don't believe any of the supernatural stuff the Church teaches as fact.

>it's all true
You can't confront the question of why the Church should be right and all the other religions wrong.

You can't confront the Roman manipulation of the early Church and the Emperor's hand in development of Biblical canon.

You must have thought about this stuff before. Do you really believe in Yahweh or are you just telling yourself that you do? If you really do, have you never thought about why you do?

Yahweh is the Old Testament god. I believe in Jesus.
I question catholic doctrine all the time. I seriously ask my priest so many questions but he's the first one to give me straight answers.
I was saying my rosary and read the biblical text regarding the ascension of the holy mother and ITS NOT IN THE FUCKING BIBLE! I have to ignore that stuff though because I have spoken to God, I have been guided by the spirit and when I receive communion I know god is present.
Fuck of course I have massive issues with canon law but that goes along with being a catholic.
I might convert to Church of England, Methodist, baptist who knows.
I am stooped in catholic tradition though and I revere the holy mother and I think the other denominations don't give the holy mother the respect she deserves so I'll put up with the many shortfalls the Catholic Church has for her.
Also communion in a Catholic Church is different to an Anglican Church. I believe transubstantiation definitely happens.

I guess being raised with it is why I've never been able to shake it off, but I have communicated with God and The Holy Spirit so I know for a fact they are real.
I know the devil is real too.

Do what you want I suppose, I'll pray for you. But understand you were lucky to be raised a Christian. I hope all good people will go to heaven..:. But the bible clearly says only those who accept Christ the lord will go to heaven so maybe they won't.

But trust me god is real.

>Yahweh is the Old Testament god. I believe in Jesus.
They are the same god... shouldn't you know this already?

>Church of England, Methodist, baptist
Why not Native American folk religion?

Or perhaps Zoroastrianism, since you like the virgin mother so much?

Give me a reason Christianity is more believable than the other religions. (protip: you can't)

>I believe transubstantiation definitely happens
literally blood magic

>I guess being raised with it is why I've never been able to shake it off
I was raised with it and shook it off pretty early. You could too if you thought about it harder, maybe looked into the history of Biblical canon a little more, or just did some soul searching.

>I have communicated with God and The Holy Spirit
>I know the devil is real too
I think it is more likely that you have not been in communication with any supernatural entities, good or evil.

>I'll pray for you
>I hope all good people will go to heaven
Pic related shows what happens to you according to each religion/philosophy depending on your beliefs.

You're taking a risk, same as me.

>But trust me god is real.
Trust me, none of the gods/demons/eldritch creatures are actually real.

Jesus created a new covenant. Yahwehs covenant was torn up and Jesus created a new one, that's what I mean when I say I follow Jesus not Yahweh.

You won't believe me but I'm Christian because I have communicated with god and I know he is real.
I have been tortured by demons and praying on my rosary kept them at bay.
I've been through a horrible year and the devil has tried to attack me all my life and I have been protected by god and his angels.
You've probably been spoken to by god you just don't see it.

I think you should go to church and read the New Testament.

Also I am educated on religion I used to be like you. Turned my back on god and look where I ended up.

I know about the council of Nicaea, the fact there were four popes at once, that a lot of doctrine is based on bollocks.
The fact is the message of Jesus is all I care about so I ignore the corruption f the church because my faith in Christ is what's important.

God bless

If by "takes precendence over" and "supersedes", you mean that there are countless passages in the New Testament saying that the Old Testament is still 100% factual and the law, then...sure.

muslims are murderous because they do not value human life, you are very like them in that way

What's most important is how Christians interpret it and Catholics, Orthodox and all major protestant denominations all agree that the New Testament supersedes and takes precedence over the Old Testament.

>>7891007
The Council of Nicea just decided which books were a part of the official canon, they didn't edit the texts of the books.

Then why do you see so many Christians arguing against homosexuality ``because muh luvitacuss".
