Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

Islam - The Perfect Religion

Yeah, perfect for simpletons, headcases and terrorists.

Islam is not a peaceful religion. Violence and murder and hatred of non-believers are implicit and explicit in its holy text.

Of course the Christian bible has the old testament which is full of killing on the order of, and in the name of, God. So when was the last time the Jews took such instructions as being doctrine? We know a lot of atrocities have been committed in the name of Jesus. But there are no such instructions by Jesus in the new testament. Anyway, civilization has advanced under Christianity. No such advances occurred under Islam and would have been impossible. A dark ages religion has no sophistication or nuance. And definitely no mercy for those who trespass against dogma.

I've heard for many years about how science and math and critical thought flourished under Islam during its first few centuries. That did occur and here's how. Islam is/was a desert religion that spread through war. It conquered many lands that already had a sophisticated learning structure or culture. It absorbed and tolerated this for some time until its religious leaders were able to bring the entire culture under Islam. That's when learning and knowledge began to fade and religious indoctrination became sacrosanct. There never was, nor ever will be, an Islamic renaissance. Such would be in direct conflict with the prophet's teachings. Ignorance of science and intolerance of differing opinions and beliefs are integral to the advancement of Islam.

Does it seem like I hate Muslims? Maybe I come across that way, but it's not true.

Here's the deal-I'm not religious, but I believe in many moral precepts found in most religions, particularly Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

I don't hate Islam or any other religion. I actually have a considerable measure of respect for those who peacefully practice their religion, even when I disagree with some or all of it. That's their choice. Peace be upon them...if they are peaceful. I have the choice of no religion, and I've taken it.

I also have the ability of recognizing an intolerant and dangerous religion. And I can easily reason that anyone who responds to an 'insult' to his religion by advocating death to infidels is a simpleton...or a headcase...or a terrorist.
