[b]Until recently, Islam has been a religion of peace, sanity and Whatever adjective can be used to qualify a good situation. Before the Holy Crusade or the Holy War, most people never saw Christianity as a religion that could kill or even order a violent act, but hey, situation and circumstances changes man and Man controls religion. THE movie "Game of Thrones" and other art that chronicles the history of medieval society and even ancient society have not failed in exposing the atrocities of religion in whichever denomination. The violence that have greeted contemporary society is no doubt being disseminated by Islam, at least, majority of today's terrorism. This doesn't mean Islam is a religion of violence or an evil religion that propagates terror on human. Islam is just another gullible tool used by greedy and crafty men to achieve certain goals, as it has always been since time immemorial. Popes, Religious leaders from various beliefs and tradition have always used the institution of religion to achieve certain objectives outside It's stated mission. There was a period when the Catholic church was like CIA, killing those who stood before It's dominance and spread, suppressing intellectual document that could have made society and mankind at large more enlightened and executing the few men like Galileo and the Masons brothers who could have placed religion Where it belongs- Extinction. The BokoHaram sect that continues to terrorize the West African planes is no different from previous extreme men using men's gullible Nature to achieve mundane aims. MOST people around the world (Nigerians especially) have labeled Islam as the proponents of this debacle and any act of this sect is an act of Islam - WRONG. In African traditional religion, before the arrival of foreign religion, the credulous Nature of man has been obvious. Where Chief priests were awed and respected and everything They say is deemed "words of the gods" : Pulease! Even when certain diseases attacked innocent children, these children were seen as "abominations" by the "eyes of the gods". The use of Islam to effectively disseminate evil is a manifestation of How humble, gullible, awed, tamed, and the lack of curiosity of man. It shows that the particular religion is never the problem, RELIGION ITSELF IS. Imagine "AHMED" who has a family that hardly feed themselves daily gets an offer from one "WAHEED" to just blow up a market place and he gets $5,000 when successful, even Those wretched pastors will be tempted! Lots of factors makes Islams the casualties of this ugliness but their religion - ISLAM is not one. When Emperor Constantine made Christianity a state religion so as to prevent the break of his kingdom, imagine if the Turks and the Arabs had labeled Christianity as a corrupt and evil religion used by the Emperor to achieve certain unscrupulous goals. Huh!.So you see, the particular religion is not the cause of the problem but the whole ideology of religion itself is. Most will call me an Atheist or anti-Christ, well, It's not a new thing..... BokoHaram is an enemy of all, all that stands for good over evil, all that believe that there is a thing called freedom and natural rights Which humans possess. BOKOHARAM IS NOT ISLAM.... RELIGION IS THE PROBLEM. RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE AND SIGH OF THE OPPRESSED - Karl Marx. I am FREEMAN DAVID and I am a Philosopher.[/b] 6 Likes 5 Shares |

You are correct both religions Islam and Christianity have had their own period of wreaking havoc on the world though Christianity did this mostly during the medieval ages but it was not any different from what Islam is doing now. even during the so called "HOLY WARS" fought for Jerusalem, muslims showed more restraint in dealing with christians than christians did. . when the crusaders captured jerusalem from muslims they would put every muslim to death but when the muslims regains the land they would spare some christian citizens. I do not really think religion is the problem but the men using it for their own end is the problem. By the way it's Emperor Constantine not Constantinople. . that one is a city 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Annunaki: Hey buddy save it on ur computer/device so u can present it easily another time The haith didnt say rape directly but when u kill ones family and take the person as wife, it says all. Muhammad was poisoned by a Jewish woman, following the conquest of Khaibar, where he took Safiyah as a wife, and ordered the torture and beheading of her husband Kinana, the chief of the Jews at Khaibar. Narrated Anas bin Malik: A Jewess brought a poisoned (cooked) sheep for the Prophet who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and he was asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No." I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of Allah's Apostle . The apostle of Allah sent for Zaynab and said to her, "What induced you to do what you have done?" She replied, "You have done to my people what you have done. You have killed my father, my uncle and my husband, so I said to myself, "If you are a prophet, the foreleg will inform you; and others have said, "If you are a king we will get rid of you." ^^^cc freemanan Narrated 'Aisha: that during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his wives allowed him to stay where he wished.... Sahih Bukhari 7:62:144 |

Freemanan: Qur'an (33:50) - "O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her-- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; " |

Annunaki:Well I was in this quango sometime ago... Where I interpreted religion according to their texts... Your position is highly logical but very wrong in terms of your interpretation. Now let's turn to other religion, do you agree that Christianity promotes violence also and it gives no room for forgiveness? If you doubt the i habe texts in the bible to back this up. As logical and correct as this may sound, we both know thats not the case. These books were written in conformity to writer's understanding amd the circumstances surrounding his knowledge, so using the Quoran to judge is really not a way of interpreting Islam, same with the Bible to interpret Christianity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Freemanan: Dude there are so many mistakes in your write up that it is laughable, why did u put ur pic up there as well, did u think you post was profound,?? No it wasn't. But u made a point, all religions have committed their fair amount of atrocities. The Catholics for a time killed heretics and fought protestants for 3 decades, the Catholics fought the muslims as well and even murdered muslims without mercy, the Hindus where all over Asia and the middle east but Muslims have killed them so much that their are very very very few Hindus still in the middle east, they at a point fought muslims back especially in india, the buddists are usually very very peaceful but they have been attacked so much by the muslims that they had to fight back especially in Burma, muslims wage frquent attacks in against nonmuslims in china, stabbing kids and adults alike, Catholics organized the crusades and killed muslims because of muslims were waging jihad in Europe and killing Christians, they almost turned France and Spain Islamic like they did to turkey, Egypt etc do u know why, because muslims are commanded to fight , to kill and to forcefully convert.. So even tho no religion is free from fightings and bloodshed, there is one particular religion that is commanded to shed blood of people and it is Islam. Let me educate u some more Islam's inception is associated with war. From 623 to 777, a span of 154 years, there were 83 military conflicts involving the Muslims, approximately one battle every two years . . . . and that is just what I have recorded here. Is Islam a religion of peace? Muslims tell me it is, but the facts speak otherwise. Think about it. Was Islam just defending itself all across Europe as it spread? Was Spain attacking the Muslims when it was thousands of miles away? Were the other countries all conspiring against Islam, and so it defended itself and spread? Or, is it spread by the sword instead of love and truth? Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly," (John 10:10). 570Birth of Muhammad in Mecca into the tribe of Quraish 577Muhammad's mother dies 580Death of Abdul Muttalib, Muhammad's grandfather 583First journey to Syria with a trading Caravan 595Muhammad marries Khadijah, a rich widow several years older than he 595Second journey to Syra 598His son, Qasim, is born 600His daughter, Zainab, is born 603His daughter, Um-e-Kalthum, is born 604His daughter, Ruqayya, is born 605Placement of Black Stone in Ka'aba 605His daughter, Fatima, is born 610Muhammad, in a cave on Mt.

Sura 9:5. "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." Bukhari 2:24: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." 2 Likes |

So even tho no religion is free from fightings and bloodshed, there is one particular religion that is commanded to shed blood of people and it is Islam.I guess you don't need me to educate you on How Christianity handled heresy.

Let me educate u some moreMy thread is not in defense of ISLAM but rather in defense of the astute Nature in man to debunk religion in It's entirety and for one to know that the only enemy here is religion and not a particular region or set of believers.

Annunaki:Given that the Bible nowhere condemns torture and sometimes prescribes shockingly cruel penalties (such as burning alive), and that Christians so wholeheartedly approved of self-torture, it's not surprising that they thought little of inflicting appallingly cruel treatment upon others. At the height of Christianity’s power and influence, hundreds of thousands of "witches" were brutally tortured and burned alive under the auspices of ecclesiastical witch finders, and the Inquisition visited similarly cruel treatment upon those accused of heresy. Once again, Stop acting as if Islam is the only religion with bad history... The fact that the killings of of people by Christianity didn't happen in your lifetime doesn't mean you can't read it up... At least you googled out the evils of ISLAM, do well to do same for Christianity. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Freemanan:I have a lot on my plate to be bothered. I will be the frist to point out to u the atrocities commited by human from all religions but one religion in particular encourages continuous blood shed. Do u know muslims are asked and allowed to wage wars , forcefully convert and take slaves for all time. I don't see that in Christianity, confusinism, buddism, huddism or even Judaism. I have not tried to defend any atrocities commited by pseudo Christians. Its all bad. If u want to kill the messenger , frist hear his message. The meassage of Christianity and even buddism is that of peace. I don't know much about Hindus, but they seem to be very peaceful, I have met a couple of them. Humans are flawed and no matter how peaceful u instruct them to be some will be bad. Catholics have had a few bad popes, churches have had bad pastors. It doesn't mean the message is bad.
If u want to debunk religion that's another topic. Do so without misunderstanding Islam. U can't put Islam on the same level with other peaceful religions. Islam is pure concentrated evil and we are lucky most muslims don't follow the instructions in the quran to the letter. Change is a constant. There are tough passages in the old. Testament. There was a time (the old testament) when God had absolutely zero tolerance for unrighteousness, the consequences of ur sins are brought to u almost immediately, your parents probably spanked u wen u misbehaved as a child, will they spank you now as a adult when u make silly mistakes? we Christians believe Jesus who came to offer us a better relationship with God. Jews had grown from messages from past prophets (old testament) and were no longer unruly children, so he gave us a new one a greater relationship,His message is contained in the new testament. And fulfils the old testament. no more spanking(at least as long as u live, heaven or hell awaits). Permit my unconventional child analogy. I as a Christian obey and live by the new testament and profit from lessons of the old testament. I honestly wish I can continue but am busy just now. Christians are doing great work of charity, the catholic church is the single biggest charity organization in the world spending billions each year on various charity and missionary efforts. Thousands of protestants and pentecostals churches provide charity in the billions each year with different programmes. While most nigerian pastors buy private jets, the real Christians are out there doing Goods work, providing charity to both Christians and non Christians. Do u know that muslims charity zakat is NOT spent on non muslims. It is forbidden. How can u compare thAt with other religions. Gotta go. Don't put all religions in one basket. |
