/r/islam is more concerned about a liberal mosque in Berlin than ISIS sexually enslaving Yazidis and throwing gays off rooftops. and don't forget the radical mosques in Western Europe. In the UK there are around 23,000 jihadists. but according to /r/islam muslims who support gay rights are the REAL threat to islam...
It's funny how liberals bend over backwards to accept Islamic traditions but many Muslims won't even acknowledge accommodating liberal beliefs. It's like watching an abusive relationship.
seriouspost: when people find themselves defending something over and over they get more and more sensitive about it. like the opposite of what would happen ideally
If you re-frame the argument around notions of religious freedom, how does the right feel about that? If a Muslim cake store refuses to makes a wedding cake for a pair of dykes as an example...
As a proponent of the right, I could give a fuck less if an atheist bakery refused a cake to any kind of religious wedding. I could give a fuck less if anyone refused to serve anyone for anything anywhere, it's your right as an American. Just as much as it's your right to walk into any place and ask to be served, it's the owner's right to say no. That's just me, though.
It's not really funny, it's upsetting, but it can be changed. My fellow liberals, with anti-anti-shariah demonstrations and that terrible women's march poster of the woman in the flag hijab, do so not out of spite but out of confusion and misunderstanding. Groups like CAIR and conservative Muslims prey on the goodwill of us as we simply want to stand up for their equal rights; the problem is that not enough of us really know anything about Islam whatsoever apart from the people we know and empathize with in our circle that are innocent Muslims and good people. My fellow liberals don't have to deal with Islam every day of their lives like I do, so they don't understand that things like the hijab (not even to mention Niqab) are incredibly sexist to both genders and the antithesis of gender equality.
This can be fixed; it requires dialogue and cooperation. We need to emphasize that we can speak out against both dogmatic beliefs and anti-Muslim bigotry at the same time. We need to stand up for human rights - for all people and all groups, and in turn hold all groups accountable, and not give Muslims a free pass because we view them as "oppressed". In the US at least, Muslims are among the most socioeconomically privileged groups because of immigration policy.
Again, this underscores the importance of education. Islam is a far right ideology at its unreformed core, when not cherry picked to death by many of its adherents in the West, many of whom are our friends and are good people. It is inherently opposed to liberalism and social equality, and we should be informing others in good faith, no pun intended, and not bicker over something fixable like this.
This is a well reasoned post, and I agree with much of what you said. However, you are effortposting on r/drama and therefore I must call you a little bitch.
Whenever I see a sentence like the above I think, "hm, apparently this person doesn't 'get' ethics, ideals and values, seeing how he's regarding them as bargaining chips".
Do you also think that if your wife cheats on you you get to slam her one right in the teeth? I mean sheeeeeeeiiit you've been all nice and non-punchy and for what?
So here's some info about some bizarre people: They hold opinions and ideals because they believe in them, not just to make a point, not to out-righteous someone and not as bargaining chips.
So yes, "don't be racist against muslims you fucking hicks" and "don't be sexist against gays and women you fucking fanatics" are actually perfectly in line with liberal ideology, who'd have fucking thunk it.
You lame rebuttal doesn't change the fact that they aren't. There are Muslims with many different skin colours and ethnic backgrounds, maybe you're racist for reducing them to just one, you silly bean.
Oh dear, instead of backing up your arguments you prefer personal attacks, that'll show me the error of my ways surely ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) bye darling, try harder next time.

Are you actually equating emojis with personal attacks, hahahaha, that's legitimately hilarious. Anyway, you're taking r/drama too seriously, I'm just messing with you, it's all bantz. Have a good day.
Yes, a population incapable of breeding, with no control of their border, a joke of a counter terrorism capacity, being replaced by their enemies offsprings
You brought up Sadiq, and even italicised his name for effect, because you think he exemplifies the problem of Islam in Europe. That would suggest to me that you think he's extreme. I'm saying he isn't. Which was very clear from my comment.
Possibly true, but there's no way of knowing what goes on behind the scenes. For obvious reasons, counter-terrorism tactics aren't something you broadcast.
Khan was elected last year.
His stance of refugees is frustrating but it's indistinguishable from virtually everyone else in parliament. What sets him apart from, say, his predecessor? Or does the fact that he's a Muslim make everything he says and does ten times worse?
Had I voted in the mayoral election it would not have been for Khan. This idea that I'm some damp-rag progressive too afraid to criticise Islam and the Muslim community is a complete figment of your imagination, and a brief glance at my recent comment history will show you that. I just don't think it's productive to insinuate that a man is an extremist when in reality he's just as moderate/liberal as the majority of his peers (which, for the record, is a problem in itself, but it's one that isn't exclusive to him).
I also hope you realize that all Muslims aren't born screaming Allah 'Akbar with a bomb strapped to their chest. Also, allah 'akbar means "god is the greatest". Sit down, you republican dumbass.
lol seriously look at his post history, he's angry as fuck and spends 99% of his time getting ass blasted on reddit by people he can't rationally refute, it's no surprise he's so bitter and sad
Well he did March in Londons Gay Pride parade, and received much flack and even threats from the local predominantly conservative/mainstream Muslim community for that. He didn't have to do that.
He likely realizes Islam is bullshit but has to play the part. Regardless of his beliefs, I'd rather people like him are focused on as examples of Muslims. Doing so helps reform along faster. Not knowing his policies, and on this issue alone, I don't think one can say he himself is any where harmful as mayor.
It's as if most Muslims secretly support Islamist violence, as is mandated by their religion, and their claims to the contrary are propaganda pushed by leftists.
To be fair, the Quran is very literal in its doctrine, and ignoring lots of it like this mosque in Berlin is does come off as not being very legitimate.
If your actual religion comes from a 'barbaric text' that isn't fit for the modern world, maybe it's time to rethink your faith, instead of just virtue signaling about diversity.
just fyi islam requires u to adhere to the quran in its entirety, and picking and choosing renders a Muslim a not-muslim. plus it leaves no room for reform as the book is final (apart from interpretations of the book, but that can only get you so far)
"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Apostle of God, and the Seal of the Prophets: and God has full knowledge of all things." - quran 33:40
"Giroth was not fathered by any of you yet living, but lo, he was fathered in the halls of light. He is God, and yet he is not God. He is Light, and yet he carries the darkness of the world upon his back.
Listen, believers, and behold un-to him for his word is the word of God." -- New Quran 3:14
It doesn't work that way, it takes generations for a religious society to abandon religion (if it happens). It's more realistic to teach to live and let live and liberalize the culture at a reasonable pace.
Wrong. See Russia. Orthodox church made a comeback. Commies are useless at almost anything. Using force it's not the same than achieving stable reforms. Remove the force and change will be reverted because it was half assed.
Also, it's arguable they replaced the whole thing with a secular equivalent (see the nationalism and the cult of leader figures and the party in North Korea and China).
I was talking about Islam in commie countries like Albania, Bosnia, and Bulgaria. They're very non-religious, though nominally still Muslim.
If you really suppress Islam, it'll buckle hard, much harder than Christianity. The reason for this is that Christianity was born under oppression, thrived under oppression, and designed to persist and succeed despite harsh oppression (some even say that you cannot be a Christian if you are not oppressed). I don't think that is a healthy attitude, but it's what the religion is based on, and it allowed it to grow into the behemoth that it is now and persist under commie rule in Eastern Europe, or places like Egypt and the Roman Empire.
Islam is completely the opposite. It was build to dominate and claimed the sole right to rule; any other ruler is deemed unnatural and a perversion of God's Word. This is why the Islamic world has developed such an enormous identity crisis after being eclipsed by the West in every way. The Quran says it shouldn't happen that Muslims are being outperformed everywhere, and this undermines the validity of the entire religion. So they either become non-practicing, or they claim that the End Times are at hand; both very pessimistic attitudes.
While christianity was born under opression, it expanded being the opressor historically, there was a time where many sects fighted like the Shia and the Sunni right now (sorry if it's a stupid analogy, but it sounds like Catholic vs. Protestant conflict), then went through some reform to the point most christians are secular (ish). But that happened because a lot of people played dumb with whatever the strictest interpretation said for personal convenience (people like their premarital sex it seems).
I have no love for Islam, but honestly, deep down religion is whatever the strongmen or the mob want it to be, not what the holy word says. It's fucked but who knows what you can expect in the future. In the short term is going to be shitshow for sure, but extrapolating from that is silly.
What it's likely to happen is people eating cognitive dissonance and pretending whatever their replacement for current Islam is Islam with a small minority of atheist out there, but that's not happening in a big scale anytime soon (decades? centuries?).

That's true, but it nonetheless managed to grow and convert a lot of people. If Muhammad had started where Jesus started, then the Roman's would've killed them all and that would've been it. That would've been the end of Islam. In fact, they quite often did just that, because there were a lot of self-proclaimed Jewish Messiahs in the time of Jesus. Jesus was the one that persisted, because he was much less violent.

That might be true, but they still have doctrines that affect people differently.
I'm not sure christianism persisted through all the centuries because of non violence. In the future it may be true (or it may be extinguished because people loss their faith...I don't expect it to happen anytime soon), but historically it was more like a mix of initial random chance and then violence/coercion/peer pressure.
I'm not sure christianism persisted through all the centuries because of non violence.
It didn't, eventually (especially after Constantin converted), but it did persist at first. The Christian doctrine of "render unto Caesar" make them a lot less threatening to non-Christian rulers than, let's say, Muslims. It's why the Romans didn't send a general to roll in and sack Jerusalem as they had done so often.
You can see a modern equivalent in China, which is seeing a very large growth in Christians, yet barely oppresses them, unlike its Muslim minorities.
While violence is mostly disliked by christians (except in Africa, see the Lord's Resistance Army), there still exists a problem of peer pressure and discrimination yet (I remember a poll where it said people in the US dislike the atheists more than the muslims, I may be misremembering).
Where this doesn't apply, agnosticism and atheism have become more common, but it's a really slow process. It's hard to tell what will be the final state though; usually religion survives by adaptating itself to the current culture.
I would assume that since the translations can't always be 100% literal it would leave room for error depending on who is doing it. Its not the original word otherwise it would only be practised in whatever dialect of Arabic.
You do realize that people are taught Arabic all over the Mulsim world specifically so they can read the Quran untranslated, right? If you hadn't even learned something so basic I would say you aren't qualified to discuss Islam and the Quran (and also that whatever school you went to completely failed in religious studies).
First of all, if you had any shred of reading comprehension you would realize that I wasnt criticizing Islam rather pointing out the translations create room for error so unless it was the original text it would be modified scripture. This applies to every religion and shows how easily a translation error can create issues within a community. Second, you dont have to be a student of a religion in order to discuss it so everyone is free to criticize whatever the fuck they want. Thats what the internet is for.
I never even accused you of criticizing Islam though? You just seem to think that most Muslims are reading a translated version of the Quran when the entire Muslim world from Africa to Indonesia is taught Arabic at an early age specifically so they don't have to read a translated version of the Quran.
And even then, the Arabic that most Arabs speak is not the same as that which the Quran is written in. It's like the difference between church Latin and modern Italian.
The earliest physical Quran doesn't have vowels. Compare the earlier qurans to the one you hold, they are not the same. There are multiple contradictory qurans.
Uh, what ? This is not true at all. 7th century Arabic was not a universal language. All the tribes of Arabia didn't speak the same version. Different versions of the Qur'an existed to accommodate this, however The literal translations were the same
islam isn't christianity or judaism. You don't get to completely disregard the basic principles of the religion while constantly adapting it to suit your needs. If the scriptures say something is unlawful then it's unlawful. Premarital sex, pork and alcohol doesn't magically become ok under islam because you enjoy those things.
Maybe stop having such an ass backwards community and then you may finally be considered civilized people.
Just because something is written down doesn't mean it has to be followed to the letter. Jaywalking is illegal, doesn't mean I give a fuck because I'm not actually going to be punished for it.
Jaywalking is illegal because some stupid government officials decided it's illegal. The things that are unlawful in islam are unlawful because God decreed it so. You don't believe you'll be punished but God doesn't care what you believe. You'll suffer your fate in the afterlife regardless.
I don't know but it seems to me our lives are civilized enough. We abide by the laws. We practice our religion peacefully and let non-muslims live their lives how they please, and participate in society just like any other person. Just because we refrain from intoxicating ourselves and abstain from premarital sex doesn't make us any less civilized.
Have they changed the definition of pedophile lately because i always thought it meant a sexual attraction to prepubescent kids? The prophet's first wife was older than him. his youngest wife was already set to marry somebody else
Taqiya (Arabic: تقیة taqiyyah, literally "prudence, fear") is an Islamic term which refers to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution. Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. "action of covering, dissimulation"), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.
This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion.
The average life expectancy was this low because it got dragged down by child mortality and the one or other death by some disease which could be prevented today.
There were still 50+ year old folks around.
Also 9 is still no fucking standard, I would get 12-14 for those times but 9? Most kids haven't hit puberty by then, only rare occasions.
Historically, Muslims have gleefully slaughtered and raped infidels throughout history [When they have been strong enough.] Starting with your beloved Prophet, then the Rashidun, and on up to today.
I have not only read Quran, but many, many, hadiths, Seerah, and tafsirs, and I have never met a Muslim that would not lie about such things. Next I suppose you are going to tell me that Islam is the Religion of Peace.
You may have read one or two passages on the usual garbage like religionofpeace.com or wikiislam but it's safe to say you've never actualy read the quran.
Your claims are complete and utter bullshit. The prophet himself oversaw the execution of muslims who transgressed in their persecution of minorities.
Islam is peace through submission to god. Islam doesn't claim to be a pacifist religion. When it's necessary muslims can and should defend themselves and their religion. Spreading the word of god to as many people as possible is obviously the ultimate goal because everybody deserves salvation, islam is a religion for all man kind; but isn't the same as saying islam advocates the slaughter of non-believers. Conversion through force isn't real conversion, as said in the quran.
Its quite biased actually......AND YES I WAS STALKING YOU FOR STEIFF PICS AND I SAW THE ONE WHERE YOU WROTE ALLAH ON HIS FOREHEAD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR PRECIOUS DOG
Le adultery gets stoned meme, again. Yeah, you get stoned for adultery in Islam, but do you know what the condition is? 4 witnesses, seeing the act of penetration. Notice how impossibly rigorous that standard is? Wonder why punishment by stoning didn't ever happen during the prophets time and hundreds of years after? That's why
Rape =/= adultery, don't look at the countries of today to see what sharia law looks like, look at the caliphates of the past; the rashidun, harun al-rashid's empire, Umar Ibn Abdulaziz's empire etc.
Victim of rape doesn't get punished in Islam, despite the shit you see in the middle east today
I don't know, I don't suppose "Gang rape" without any accompanying words or points is an argument at all, so I filled in the gaps based on what I thought you were getting at
Have you accepted Jesus into your heart, cause we are all sinners m8, no human action spares us from original sin. That's why Jesus died for our sins, maybe try looking at what Jesus says instead of following a literal warlord like Muhammad.
Apparently making basically every part of modern civilization means not knowing anything. Meanwhile the Middle East is a bunch of idiots in a desert killing eachother because they think they think it makes them better at religion.
I'll continue to enjoy my air conditioned home with plenty of food without having to worry if my neighbor is going to strap some bombs to his chest or not.
Lol, thank you for proving my point exactly. You guys need to stop reading so much media and assume that it reflects reality. A lot of places in the Middle East are fine like Jordan and Lebanon and Algeria and Morocco and Tunisia.
And 'western civilization' was built off the contribution of other civilizations.
Btw, if Islam never refused to modernize the Golden Age would have never happened, nor the many scientific and artistic contributions during the Ottomans and the Moorish Al-Andalus time in Spain.
What we are seeing since the late 80s was a regression inspired by Saudi Wahabism.
Change and growth is what's retarded. Do you not see the irony in changing religion? You believe your religion is the literal word of god but somehow the word of god has to be changed? It makes zero sense to change religion. if you change religion you may as well give up the religion entirely.
The people who made up other religions weren't stupid enough to say that their holy book is the literal word of god, so those holy books are up to interpretation.
The different sects of islam aren't based on different interpretations of the quran. They're based on disagreements over inheritance and whether or not muhammad was the last prophet. None of them disagree on what's written in the quran.
What? No. Extremists interpret it to mean something else than moderate ones. For instance they see the violent verses as something that's eternal that can be applied to everything. Moderates see it in its historical context.
I mean, we have a lot of historical examples. The word of God tends to mean whatever religious leader wants it to mean. All the people arguing that Islam is built against change misunderstand the fact that deep down religion is bullshit and maleable, and that old texts are not as powerful as it seem. Hell, ISIS strictly talking are heretics, so why can't we have "heresy" in the other direction?
Only to retards who don't understand how evolution and science works. Should we stop teaching the theory of gravity as well because illiterate people don't think it is true?
Are you retarded? He was obviously talking about haram and halal not unlawful in a secular law you fucking idiot. No fucking shit muslims teaching Kufr to other muslims haram for muslims like how is this news? And the author knows very well how science and evolution works, he went to secular universities before he converted, maybe read the article.
Apatheism ( a portmanteau of apathy and theism) is the philosophical view that one should be apathetic towards the existence or non-existence of god(s). It is more of an attitude rather than a belief, claim or belief system.
An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist. An apatheist may thus decide to live as if there are no gods.
Can't be so open ended. This is like asking a Donfag why the deep state is rooted in FEMA, you'll just get a link to a batshit youtube video you won't watch.
Only one of those names listed used a failed (and quite possibly engineered) coup to crack down on all dissenting opinions, get rid of democracy, and create a theocracy.
A US sponsored coup, after the USs absoultely destroyed South America, Iran, Pakistan and various other countries with their coups, this kind of action is neccessary.
Ataturk, all previous military dictators of Turkey, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussien, the Baathists, Sisi, Assad aand all the rest of the secularist middle eastern leaders.
Nod really, they didn't kick Islam's teeth in like Ataturk actually did. Peh, they don't deserve a great man like him. He should have been Greek so the actually decent parts of Turkey today would be under a proper country and not have to cater to eastern goat people.
Protecting your country from becoming Iran, Pakistan or South America is nothing less than heroic. Funny how nobody denounces the americans for funding these coups in the first place.
Obama invaded 7 countries, Bush invaded a country under lies/false pretense, Trump has supported ISIS against Bashar Al-Assad who is protecting his state from literal child butchers. Just because neoliberals look/seem like they're for peace because of their public statements doesn't mean they are.
The definition is subjective. /u/Jhuro decided to create his qualification of 'dictator' by naming Erdogan's alleged fake coup as shut-case evidence of his tyrannical government style. But why can't it can be argued that Obama's drones killing scores of innocents is equally bad? Often a gauge for a world leader's evilness has been by the amount of people they killed, haven't Obama/Bush killed more than Erdogan?
Nah it's pretty well defined. Killing people in other nations doesn't make you a dictator, while you are correct, it is still bad. Ergodan's a dictator.
"A person exercising absolute power, especially a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession."
I consider Bush a dictator, as he instated military junta in middle eastern nations and created our 21st century surveillance state. Just because it doesn't happen to me, doesn't mean that our country isn't repressive in more hidden ways.
Create a theocracy? Man you really eat up propoganda don't you lol. Crack down on dissenting opinions or people who CAUSED A GODDAMN COUP? Turkey has a history of coup, Erdogan is defending Turkey from yet another military dictatorship, that makes him a hero.
Create a theocracy? Man you really eat up propoganda don't you lol.
I said try to create. Read again.
Crack down on dissenting opinions or people who CAUSED A GODDAMN COUP?
Oh I am pretty sure those tens of thousands of teachers and professors were colluding with people behind the coup.
And you accuse me of eating up propaganda.
Turkey has a history of coup, Erdogan is defending Turkey from yet another military dictatorship, that makes him a hero.
Do you know how many of those coups were to prevent Islamization of the country?
Also the possibility of the military being bad doesn't make Erdogans actions good. That's a faulty argument. That's like saying Castro wasn't a dictator because the guy who he overthrew was one.
It's also funny how you ignored the part about people being arrested for insulting Erdogan which would even under Trump's administration could never happen.
Prevent islamization aka banning hijabs, murdering scholars, jailing devoute people and burning qurans and religious literature.
I was hoping you'd take that bait.
Now replace hijab with wikipedia, scholars with teachers and professors, devoute people with people who insult glorious leader you now got Erdogan.
Admit it your admiration for Erdogan and distaste for Atatürk isn't about freedom, Liberty ,democracy or any of that crap. It's just that one is an Islamic fundamentalist like you and the other was secular.
More than that , those drawn images of captain marvel and Catwoman he jerks off to probably wouldn't exist in an Islamic fundamentalist society that he so desperately craves.
Lol being a muslim =/= Islamism (but you idiots think anyone who has even a semblence of sympathy for Islam is a wahhabi terrorist trying to establish a global caliphate) The late Ottoman Empire was a constitutional monarchy with a secularist party (the young turks) in power. It even legalized gay marriage. That sounds a lot more liberal (not that thats a good thing but it counters your point) than Ataturk's mess of a country.
Islam is the light. Without light there would be darkness. In darkness, you can't read books or use a computer, so you can't learn anything except by asking people and having them inefficiently explain it to you. So there would be no doctors, lawyers, engineers, et cetera. Thus Islam is necessary to modern civilization. QED. There were no modern societies before the revelations of Muhammad. All modern societies know of the blessed teachings of the Prophet(PBUH) and the Noble Qur'an.
Can't tell if you're seriousposting or not. Normally I'd assume this is ironic but you post on /r/debatefascism and are a methodist, so the odds of you being a lunatic are near 100%
Well Al Jazeera is a Qatari news source, and before this whole Qatar crises, Saudi and Qatar were on the same side, Saudis (and Qataris at the time this was published) don't like Erdogan, he constantly denounces them and their involvement in terrorism around the world and their relationship with the west and Israel, there is a very logical reason for anti Erdogan propaganda.
For most Islamic countries the only thing preventing them from being absolute shitholes was oil but for Turkey it was Atatürk. Now their people have chosen to undo everything he stood for. What a bunch of idiots.
It's funny how /r/Christianity and /r/Judaism are both super liberal subreddits that don't reflect the actual views of most adherents to their religion, yet /r/Islam is actually quite accurate in depicting Muslims as bigoted reactionaries.
On the other hand, the second to top post in Judaism is (presumably? Half the words are Hebrew) about what kinds of birth control would be acceptable to a woman's strict Jewish... rabbi? Skimming the other posts and reading the comments that sub is just as conservative and dug-in as the Islam one to me. I mean read the comments of the post you referenced - it's all about how everyone hates the Jews.
I can't say I blame them, they stick their neck out and try to be inclusive and get shit on yet again, but their response and the general tone certainly isn't what I'd call liberal unless you're comparing them to the Orthodox ones in Israel.
That's so they can remain on Reddit. It's deception. If a homo posts on their subreddit they will claim "oh yada yada we don't agree with you but we support your right to exist" but the fact is that if the same homo went into an ethnostate of just /r/islam subscribers he would be thrown off a roof.
Take note I am completely indifferent in that situation.
The founder lady is from Turkey, once ruled by Ataturk, the dictator who banned Turkish traditional cap or fez, burkhas, headscarves, Islamic schools and even Arabic Azaan from mosques across the country
She's also breathing atmospheric oxygen, a compound also breathed by Adolf Hitler, the dictator responsible for the killings of 10 million Jews, political dissidents and members of other ethnic groups he considered subhuman.
most of the liberal comments have sunk to the bottom or deleted, or mixed in with the debates. equally funny that the islam posters are clearly pissed that liberalism is being pushed into their religion
Saying that Islamic Reddit should be liberal and open to things like this is like saying that a subreddit for vegans should be liberal and open about vegans eating meat.
Except Islam is a religion of peace and caring for one another and veganism is a diet, terrible analogy.
Haha sure thing buddy. You religious extremists crack me up. Religion is fine when it's something so add a little goodness to your life and family. But you extremists take it to a whole other level, and you really are the same across all tlreligions. You're generally shitty and insecure people so you make religion into a dickwaving contest to be the most "pure" and "pious" even though everyone around you knows it's fake as shit and you're an awful person. Sorry my little jihadi friend, you're not a good and pious Muslim, you're just an asshole and any God who's about love certainly wouldn't want you at their side
Ethnic genocide perpetrated by the young turks who were a secularist party whose whole deal was to limit the powers of the Caliph and have a constitutional monarchy, also Ataturk was a big fan of them. Regardless it was an ethnic genocide and not done on the basis of religion.
Perpetrated by the non-secularist counter-coup and the nationalist half of the young turks as opposed to the liberalist half that Ataturk, Greeks, Assyrians, Circassians and Armenians were all a big fan of
Towel head is a racial slur you dumbass. Most muslims don't even wear turbans, you're not gonna see a white muslim wearing a turban and making fun of turbans is a racially motivated insult, don't even pretend it isn't.
Well, that's interesting and not at all the way I conceptualized it.
Without looking it up, I'm still confident enough to say you are mistaken.
Racism does not include culture.
When 3 men from the Punjab who are Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu discriminate against each other despite having the same great-grandfather it's hardly racism.
When a posh Brit looks on a chav with disdain that is cultural bigotry is not racism.
Racism does not include nationality.
When a German Swiss discriminates against a German Austrian who discriminates against a German German this is not racism.
When a North Korean feels superior to a South Korean this is not racism.
I mean it's all bigotry, but if we are arguing semantics then you are mistaken.
I'll grant you that racism covers ethnicity.
Anyways I think we are arguing a silly point here, because ultimately I definitely agree that "towel head" is a rude and bigoted term.
I'm reluctant to even have that in my post history, quotation marks or not.
TBF towel head is pretty racist, but this is /r/drama and many things are said here diliberatly for effect. None of this excuses conservative Islam from the cold scrutiny it deserves.
There's a camii in every neighborhood in Istanbul, even before Erdogan. Tons of Turks practice all varieties of Islam. What are you crying about "" "FoRceD Sekkuluhrizashun" "?
Dude Ataturk banned the hijab, burned qurans. Murdered any of the ulema who spoke out against him and reworte the athan. He was behaving just like the chinese do with the Uyghurs.
It got overeturned before Erdogan came to power except for in government institutions (such as schools), then when erdogan came he allowed it in government as well
That analogy fails because you and I both agree (I hope) that killing is bad, and thus any killing, even of one person, is bad, and 'didn't kill all of them' is still bad and not good because bad begins at one death. So the Holocaust is bad because murder happened, and less murder doesn't make it ok.
By comparison, more secularism is almost always better, until it keeps people from practicing religion in their private lives. Which has not ever happened in Turkey.
Washes me from that? I'm not a supporter of either.
Both of those you named were part of a cult of personality. The Soviet press presented Stalin as an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent leader -- they even nicknamed him "Father of Nations". Sounds familiar? It's indistinguishable from religious thought, language and rhetoric.
don't brush it off.
Like I said. Want me to list the religious leaders throughout the ages that has slaughtered and continue to slaughter millions of people? It's almost too many to count. There's literally thousands of examples.
I didn't say he was a religious leader. Your limited reading comprehension is showing. You should stick to reading and memorizing one book. That seems more like your kind of thing.
Stalin was raised as a Greek Orthodox, FYI. His parents even wanted him to become a priest. Surely his strict religious upbringing had no impact on his character and views later on in life.
The whole point of secularism is to not follow blindly in someone else's footsteps. Pointing towards Mao and Stalin is pointless because we know they were trash humans, and for that reason secularists won't follow them. You, on the other hand, literally worship a pedophile, and take his word as a guide on how to live a morally correct life. But whatever, this is r/drama cba effortposting
Secularism does not mean atheism. Atheism is the lack of religion. Secularism means that no particular religion gets preferential treatment by the state. Not even remotely similar concepts you islamofascist fuckwit. Besides, who the fuck said I was an Atheist?
Ataturk is a terrible person? Where would turkey be without ataturk you Turkey hating betrayer. Where were your ottoman leaders when the empire came to an end? Gerizekalı yavşak, adam ol.
Its hilarious how you can be so offended by someones political views, I didn't even say anything "extremist" all I said was I like this particular denocratically elected leader and your all acting like I drove a truck into a gay bar and killed 30 people.
It's ok, we just know Islam's going to wither and diminish, the same way Christianity has done when exposed to secularism over the centuries.
In the end, your sons or grandsons will decide that worship of Allah is not for them. Your daughters or granddaughters will tire of your rules, and eventually, Islam will be cast aside. But, before that happens, there will be many ways that people try to reconcile the two, like this mosque. And, little by little your Islam will wither.
Take secularism seriously or not, but in the end it really doesn't matter. So, hey, enjoy things while they last. 💋

You recognize me as a fellow r/prequelmemes memer?
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
The reason why I am on here is because I got mentioned in a drama fest over here.
The fact is that most Westerners not only want Muslims to integrate, but assimilate by getting rid of various portions of Islam and Islamic law. Many aspects of Islam creep them out.
Lol did you know that I get a comment notification, and I know by that first line (you recognize me as..) it would be followed by (a surprise to be....) It's second nature for us by now to react w/ prequel quotes.
I recognize you because I see your comments on the posts and also in the weekly FTF
Yup, the people over here is obsessed with drama in religion subs especially r/islam. But you seem to handle the mention pretty well so everybody is good, kind of. I mostly lurk here and rarely comment because these guys are edgy and can be really mean sometimes.
I know, as Muslims it's impossible for us to do that because Islam is by God/by extension the Quran and hadith Muhammad s.a.w so people can't just pick and choose whatever they like and define that as a Muslim thing.

Ah ok. So they're basically where people from r/atheism go if they're bored.
I know, as Muslims it's impossible for us to do that because Islam is by God/by extension the Quran and hadith Muhammad s.a.w so people can't just pick and choose whatever they like and define that as a Muslim thing.
r/islam is an actual window to real muslims in islamic countries. It's pretty cool to hear their voices, in an INTERSECTIONNAL way of course, and compare them with those pseudo-muslims in america or other first world countries.
Actually, it's not. The ones on /r/islam are more on the moderate side. I am actually in some Islamic group chats on discord (I pretend to be moose when really I'm exmoose) and trust me they are far far more radical than what you are seeing here on /r/islam.
Lol this is literally textbook definition of someone spreading Fitna and being a liar. She's telling people that they don't have to wear headscarf when praying is literally...idk what to even say. She's leading people astray.
Those people might even use internet, but they belong do sand desert with nothing but rocks.
In islam it's either "true because that was the way when our goatfuckng parents raised up" or wrong. Europeans can literally take muslim childs away from their parents and put anything in them and they will obey as fuck.
Oh well you see, people are all different. While they find commonalities in religion, race, and bukkake, there is a spectrum very much like the one you are on. And so, just like you can have people affiliated through /r/drama we have different tastes (e.g. you probably can't get off to prolapses), you can have an adult and an of-age teen share similar sounding views but for completely different reasons.
Nah, as a muslim, we don't have that problem. Rashidun Caliphates are as good as they get in terms of implementing the Rule of islam over a large government
You're kidding, right? The Rashidun would never imagine the type of weaponry we use today, let alone know how to use this. Islam was spread with the sword before, now it's obliterating itself by the bomb.
I don't get the point of your post - my point was the rashidun implemented Sharia well. If you're trying to say that if they had access to modern weaponry, they'd commit terrorism, then no the purposeful targetting of civilians is prohibited in Islam.
The above commenter claimed that Islam had the same problem Communism had according to communist apologetics - that it hasn't been truly/properly implemented. That's false, was the point of my comment, cause you could look at history and see proper implementations, the best of which are the implementations of the prophet (small scale nation), and of the rashidun (larger scale)
The irony is that this progressive True Islam is what this mosque is preaching. It's a tiny minority scorned by everyone else. It's like 15 people tops in that mosque.
You bet I am. I'm more of a Saturn or Jupiter kind of guy than a snicker Venus worshipper. It's funny how you convinced everyone that a bunch of pussywhipped goddess worshipers who can't even get a good perv going are some sort of oppressive Patriarchs.
So if you believe in a divine message you expect to question the literal word of god?
"Morality" is nothing more than a social construct, constantly changing for better or for worse. There's no reason to think you, a mere human with limited knowledge and understanding, knows better than god.
If a mere human's knowledge is so limited, how are they supposed to determine what God really wants? Wouldn't someone so ignorant be very easy to manipulate with lies?
I'm an agnostic theist. He hasn't shown up yet. I'll let you know when I recieve divine revalation. Meanwhile I'll happily disbelieve anyone elses claim to divine revalation and persue what is right and just without thinking I need to adhere to bronze age poetry to follow the will of the divine.
/u/Adu_Adderall does Islam not have the same issues as Judahish and Christianity where certain things simply do not work in the modern age? E.g. slavery, combining fabrics, crop rotation, pedophilia?
Muslims have abandoned slavery (which was part of the word of 'God') yet they use a few vague hadiths to make millions of women wear the hijab. Islam is shit.
I'd imagine an Islamic subreddit would be quite liberal
Megamido, given that you're a Muslim you must have noticed the massive amount of homophobic and sexist teachings that other most other Muslims adhere to?
Obviously I've noticed, but its not what I, or my friends, or my family believe - whom are all mostly practicing Muslims. All I was trying to say was that I expected a friggin' subreddit discussing Islam in between other links of memes and cat pics on Reddit would be a little more liberal or open-minded that what /r/Islam came across as.
When western values used in the same sentence with islam i always think of Atatürk, our savior, oh wait... of course they are butthurt about him again. :d.
no such thing as liberal islam. if you believe that homosexual relationships are ok or that men and women should pray together then you're not a muslim. You can't just disregard the basic tenets of a religion and claim to be part of that religion.
Being sexually attracted to the same sex isn't the problem. Having gay relationships/sex is. Muslims wouldn't even know if somebody was gay or not.
muslims are perfectly correct to be offended by something so unislamic being presented as if it could ever be islamic.
Being sexually attracted to the same sex isn't the problem. Having gay relationships/sex is. Muslims wouldn't even know if somebody was gay or not.
I've always had an issue with this. Basically my understanding is that if somebody has homosexual feelings they should suppress them and instead just marry a woman anyway. However, this is absolute torture for a gay male/female.
Try and put it like this (assuming you're straight) - you are in a society where being gay is the norm and you are heterosexual. You are told to suppress your heterosexuality and instead marry a man like everybody else does. You'd feel pretty disgusted by it, right? Well, that is what Islam is putting gays through. This isn't tolerant at all. This is torture.
The amount of no self-awareness and outright retardness in this thread is more retarded than anything I've ever seen in /r/drama, and that's saying something.
Someday soon Muslims will realise that postmodern nihilism and civilisational exhaustion is contagious and withdraw from the West completely to just wait for us all to kill ourselves with Oxycontin and Modafinil
We need like 3 months where posting is locked and the mods set up automod to just post a party parrot once every hour or some shit to drive out the normies.
The important thing to remember (before getting outraged) about these groups is that they are so tiny in size that they are practically negligible. Look at the picture in the article; there are perhaps 30 people there. In fact, there are nearly as many journalists as worshipers. It's the same thing with that imam in DC; I've seen videos of his Friday prayers and there's 10-20 people attending.
There will always be some deviants, but clearly a lot more people are willing to talk the talk than walk the walk.
On a separate note, just read Surah Al-Baqarah the other day, and ayah 11-12 and the ones around it fit in with this nicely: "And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers." Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not."
Why does this stupid religion exist? Probably the largest religion where almost all of the followers are so devoted and crazy about it. Maybe I'm being edgy but I really don't get why
Because all those people ancestors got invaded by the original Islamic state. Islam had only started spreading when they started to wage war and rape the victim women to make Muslim babies. Islam has always been about invasion then forced breeding. If that ideology was killed off earlier, you'd never even hear of it and Saudis would've been ashamed of it instead of being fucked in the ass by it. I'm so glad I left that cult.

/r/islam is more concerned about a liberal mosque in Berlin than ISIS sexually enslaving Yazidis and throwing gays off rooftops. and don't forget the radical mosques in Western Europe. In the UK there are around 23,000 jihadists. but according to /r/islam muslims who support gay rights are the REAL threat to islam...

If you re-frame the argument around notions of religious freedom, how does the right feel about that? If a Muslim cake store refuses to makes a wedding cake for a pair of dykes as an example...
The culture wars were a mistake
n/a 102938475601 2017-06-25
As a proponent of the right, I could give a fuck less if an atheist bakery refused a cake to any kind of religious wedding. I could give a fuck less if anyone refused to serve anyone for anything anywhere, it's your right as an American. Just as much as it's your right to walk into any place and ask to be served, it's the owner's right to say no. That's just me, though.
n/a Ardvarkeating101 2017-06-25

n/a Moarinth 2017-06-25
It's not really funny, it's upsetting, but it can be changed. My fellow liberals, with anti-anti-shariah demonstrations and that terrible women's march poster of the woman in the flag hijab, do so not out of spite but out of confusion and misunderstanding. Groups like CAIR and conservative Muslims prey on the goodwill of us as we simply want to stand up for their equal rights; the problem is that not enough of us really know anything about Islam whatsoever apart from the people we know and empathize with in our circle that are innocent Muslims and good people. My fellow liberals don't have to deal with Islam every day of their lives like I do, so they don't understand that things like the hijab (not even to mention Niqab) are incredibly sexist to both genders and the antithesis of gender equality.
This can be fixed; it requires dialogue and cooperation. We need to emphasize that we can speak out against both dogmatic beliefs and anti-Muslim bigotry at the same time. We need to stand up for human rights - for all people and all groups, and in turn hold all groups accountable, and not give Muslims a free pass because we view them as "oppressed". In the US at least, Muslims are among the most socioeconomically privileged groups because of immigration policy.
Again, this underscores the importance of education. Islam is a far right ideology at its unreformed core, when not cherry picked to death by many of its adherents in the West, many of whom are our friends and are good people. It is inherently opposed to liberalism and social equality, and we should be informing others in good faith, no pun intended, and not bicker over something fixable like this.

Do you also think that if your wife cheats on you you get to slam her one right in the teeth? I mean sheeeeeeeiiit you've been all nice and non-punchy and for what?
So here's some info about some bizarre people: They hold opinions and ideals because they believe in them, not just to make a point, not to out-righteous someone and not as bargaining chips.
So yes, "don't be racist against muslims you fucking hicks" and "don't be sexist against gays and women you fucking fanatics" are actually perfectly in line with liberal ideology, who'd have fucking thunk it.

n/a blackbluegrey 2017-06-25
Possibly true, but there's no way of knowing what goes on behind the scenes. For obvious reasons, counter-terrorism tactics aren't something you broadcast.
Khan was elected last year.
His stance of refugees is frustrating but it's indistinguishable from virtually everyone else in parliament. What sets him apart from, say, his predecessor? Or does the fact that he's a Muslim make everything he says and does ten times worse?
Had I voted in the mayoral election it would not have been for Khan. This idea that I'm some damp-rag progressive too afraid to criticise Islam and the Muslim community is a complete figment of your imagination, and a brief glance at my recent comment history will show you that. I just don't think it's productive to insinuate that a man is an extremist when in reality he's just as moderate/liberal as the majority of his peers (which, for the record, is a problem in itself, but it's one that isn't exclusive to him).

He likely realizes Islam is bullshit but has to play the part. Regardless of his beliefs, I'd rather people like him are focused on as examples of Muslims. Doing so helps reform along faster.

Commies managed to subvert it in one generation.
n/a Neronoah 2017-06-25
Wrong. See Russia. Orthodox church made a comeback. Commies are useless at almost anything. Using force it's not the same than achieving stable reforms. Remove the force and change will be reverted because it was half assed.
Also, it's arguable they replaced the whole thing with a secular equivalent (see the nationalism and the cult of leader figures and the party in North Korea and China).
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-06-25
I was talking about Islam in commie countries like Albania, Bosnia, and Bulgaria. They're very non-religious, though nominally still Muslim.
If you really suppress Islam, it'll buckle hard, much harder than Christianity. The reason for this is that Christianity was born under oppression, thrived under oppression, and designed to persist and succeed despite harsh oppression (some even say that you cannot be a Christian if you are not oppressed). I don't think that is a healthy attitude, but it's what the religion is based on, and it allowed it to grow into the behemoth that it is now and persist under commie rule in Eastern Europe, or places like Egypt and the Roman Empire.
Islam is completely the opposite. It was build to dominate and claimed the sole right to rule; any other ruler is deemed unnatural and a perversion of God's Word. This is why the Islamic world has developed such an enormous identity crisis after being eclipsed by the West in every way. The Quran says it shouldn't happen that Muslims are being outperformed everywhere, and this undermines the validity of the entire religion. So they either become non-practicing, or they claim that the End Times are at hand; both very pessimistic attitudes.
n/a Neronoah 2017-06-25
While christianity was born under opression, it expanded being the opressor historically, there was a time where many sects fighted like the Shia and the Sunni right now (sorry if it's a stupid analogy, but it sounds like Catholic vs. Protestant conflict), then went through some reform to the point most christians are secular (ish). But that happened because a lot of people played dumb with whatever the strictest interpretation said for personal convenience (people like their premarital sex it seems).
I have no love for Islam, but honestly, deep down religion is whatever the strongmen or the mob want it to be, not what the holy word says. It's fucked but who knows what you can expect in the future. In the short term is going to be shitshow for sure, but extrapolating from that is silly.
What it's likely to happen is people eating cognitive dissonance and pretending whatever their replacement for current Islam is Islam with a small minority of atheist out there, but that's not happening in a big scale anytime soon (decades? centuries?).
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-06-25
That's true, but it nonetheless managed to grow and convert a lot of people. If Muhammad had started where Jesus started, then the Roman's would've killed them all and that would've been it. That would've been the end of Islam. In fact, they quite often did just that, because there were a lot of self-proclaimed Jewish Messiahs in the time of Jesus. Jesus was the one that persisted, because he was much less violent.
That might be true, but they still have doctrines that affect people differently.
n/a Neronoah 2017-06-25
I'm not sure christianism persisted through all the centuries because of non violence. In the future it may be true (or it may be extinguished because people loss their faith...I don't expect it to happen anytime soon), but historically it was more like a mix of initial random chance and then violence/coercion/peer pressure.
n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-06-25
It didn't, eventually (especially after Constantin converted), but it did persist at first. The Christian doctrine of "render unto Caesar" make them a lot less threatening to non-Christian rulers than, let's say, Muslims. It's why the Romans didn't send a general to roll in and sack Jerusalem as they had done so often.
You can see a modern equivalent in China, which is seeing a very large growth in Christians, yet barely oppresses them, unlike its Muslim minorities.
n/a Neronoah 2017-06-25
While violence is mostly disliked by christians (except in Africa, see the Lord's Resistance Army), there still exists a problem of peer pressure and discrimination yet (I remember a poll where it said people in the US dislike the atheists more than the muslims, I may be misremembering).
Where this doesn't apply, agnosticism and atheism have become more common, but it's a really slow process. It's hard to tell what will be the final state though; usually religion survives by adaptating itself to the current culture.
n/a Vladtheimpaler14 2017-06-25

n/a MadMaxMercer 2017-06-25
I would assume that since the translations can't always be 100% literal it would leave room for error depending on who is doing it. Its not the original word otherwise it would only be practised in whatever dialect of Arabic.
n/a Druplesnubb 2017-06-25
You do realize that people are taught Arabic all over the Mulsim world specifically so they can read the Quran untranslated, right? If you hadn't even learned something so basic I would say you aren't qualified to discuss Islam and the Quran (and also that whatever school you went to completely failed in religious studies).
n/a MadMaxMercer 2017-06-25
First of all, if you had any shred of reading comprehension you would realize that I wasnt criticizing Islam rather pointing out the translations create room for error so unless it was the original text it would be modified scripture. This applies to every religion and shows how easily a translation error can create issues within a community. Second, you dont have to be a student of a religion in order to discuss it so everyone is free to criticize whatever the fuck they want. Thats what the internet is for.
n/a Druplesnubb 2017-06-25
I never even accused you of criticizing Islam though? You just seem to think that most Muslims are reading a translated version of the Quran when the entire Muslim world from Africa to Indonesia is taught Arabic at an early age specifically so they don't have to read a translated version of the Quran.
n/a MadMaxMercer 2017-06-25
Except the majority of African muslims are illiterate, so its not as simple as teaching them how to read unaltered texts.
n/a Viktor_Korobov 2017-06-25
Most non arab muslims don't know arabic. They just learn the quran phonetically.
n/a PseudonymIncognito 2017-06-25
And even then, the Arabic that most Arabs speak is not the same as that which the Quran is written in. It's like the difference between church Latin and modern Italian.

Kinda has, were 7 qurans written down. All but one got burnt.

The earliest physical Quran doesn't have vowels. Compare the earlier qurans to the one you hold, they are not the same. There are multiple contradictory qurans.
1 Prettygame4Ausername 2017-06-25
Uh, what ? This is not true at all. 7th century Arabic was not a universal language. All the tribes of Arabia didn't speak the same version. Different versions of the Qur'an existed to accommodate this, however The literal translations were the same

n/a potatothrowaw 2017-06-25
islam isn't christianity or judaism. You don't get to completely disregard the basic principles of the religion while constantly adapting it to suit your needs. If the scriptures say something is unlawful then it's unlawful. Premarital sex, pork and alcohol doesn't magically become ok under islam because you enjoy those things.
n/a Vekete 2017-06-25
Maybe stop having such an ass backwards community and then you may finally be considered civilized people.
Just because something is written down doesn't mean it has to be followed to the letter. Jaywalking is illegal, doesn't mean I give a fuck because I'm not actually going to be punished for it.
n/a potatothrowaw 2017-06-25
Jaywalking is illegal because some stupid government officials decided it's illegal. The things that are unlawful in islam are unlawful because God decreed it so. You don't believe you'll be punished but God doesn't care what you believe. You'll suffer your fate in the afterlife regardless.
I don't know but it seems to me our lives are civilized enough. We abide by the laws. We practice our religion peacefully and let non-muslims live their lives how they please, and participate in society just like any other person. Just because we refrain from intoxicating ourselves and abstain from premarital sex doesn't make us any less civilized.

Taqiya
Taqiya (Arabic: تقیة taqiyyah, literally "prudence, fear") is an Islamic term which refers to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution. Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. "action of covering, dissimulation"), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.
This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion.

Historically, Muslims have gleefully slaughtered and raped infidels throughout history [When they have been strong enough.] Starting with your beloved Prophet, then the Rashidun, and on up to today.
I have not only read Quran, but many, many, hadiths, Seerah, and tafsirs, and I have never met a Muslim that would not lie about such things. Next I suppose you are going to tell me that Islam is the Religion of Peace.
n/a potatothrowaw 2017-06-25
You may have read one or two passages on the usual garbage like religionofpeace.com or wikiislam but it's safe to say you've never actualy read the quran.
Your claims are complete and utter bullshit. The prophet himself oversaw the execution of muslims who transgressed in their persecution of minorities.
Islam is peace through submission to god. Islam doesn't claim to be a pacifist religion. When it's necessary muslims can and should defend themselves and their religion. Spreading the word of god to as many people as possible is obviously the ultimate goal because everybody deserves salvation, islam is a religion for all man kind; but isn't the same as saying islam advocates the slaughter of non-believers. Conversion through force isn't real conversion, as said in the quran.
n/a Byzantium 2017-06-25
Oh, I've read it.
Like the Banu Qurayza?
Like they did at Dhul Khalasah? travelled all the way to Yemen to kill all the men and rape the women.
Khaibar was pretty cool too. What is it that Muslim mobs shout even today? Khaibar, Khaibar, Ya Yahud...
Like the Rashidun "defended" themselves across the Arabian peninsula.

Change and growth is what's retarded. Do you not see the irony in changing religion? You believe your religion is the literal word of god but somehow the word of god has to be changed? It makes zero sense to change religion. if you change religion you may as well give up the religion entirely.

The different sects of islam aren't based on different interpretations of the quran. They're based on disagreements over inheritance and whether or not muhammad was the last prophet. None of them disagree on what's written in the quran.
n/a toanythingtaboo 2017-06-25
What? No. Extremists interpret it to mean something else than moderate ones. For instance they see the violent verses as something that's eternal that can be applied to everything. Moderates see it in its historical context.

I mean, we have a lot of historical examples. The word of God tends to mean whatever religious leader wants it to mean.

Hell, ISIS strictly talking are heretics, so why can't we have "heresy" in the other direction?

Apatheism
Apatheism ( a portmanteau of apathy and theism) is the philosophical view that one should be apathetic towards the existence or non-existence of god(s). It is more of an attitude rather than a belief, claim or belief system.
An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist. An apatheist may thus decide to live as if there are no gods.

It's almost like multiple opinions can exist! And if Erdogan is a dictator then so was Obama, Bush, Trump and every other USs president.
n/a Jhuro 2017-06-25
Only one of those names listed used a failed (and quite possibly engineered) coup to crack down on all dissenting opinions, get rid of democracy, and create a theocracy.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
A US sponsored coup, after the USs absoultely destroyed South America, Iran, Pakistan and various other countries with their coups, this kind of action is neccessary.

You realize that's not what a dictator is, though? Dictator doesn't mean "leader I don't like"
n/a BizarrelyRussophilic 2017-06-25
The definition is subjective. /u/Jhuro decided to create his qualification of 'dictator' by naming Erdogan's alleged fake coup as shut-case evidence of his tyrannical government style. But why can't it can be argued that Obama's drones killing scores of innocents is equally bad? Often a gauge for a world leader's evilness has been by the amount of people they killed, haven't Obama/Bush killed more than Erdogan?
n/a Choozadoodle 2017-06-25
Nah it's pretty well defined. Killing people in other nations doesn't make you a dictator, while you are correct, it is still bad. Ergodan's a dictator. "A person exercising absolute power, especially a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession."

n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Create a theocracy? Man you really eat up propoganda don't you lol. Crack down on dissenting opinions or people who CAUSED A GODDAMN COUP? Turkey has a history of coup, Erdogan is defending Turkey from yet another military dictatorship, that makes him a hero.
n/a JewDrunk 2017-06-25
I said try to create. Read again.
Oh I am pretty sure those tens of thousands of teachers and professors were colluding with people behind the coup.
And you accuse me of eating up propaganda.
Do you know how many of those coups were to prevent Islamization of the country?
Also the possibility of the military being bad doesn't make Erdogans actions good. That's a faulty argument. That's like saying Castro wasn't a dictator because the guy who he overthrew was one.
It's also funny how you ignored the part about people being arrested for insulting Erdogan which would even under Trump's administration could never happen.

Islam is the light. Without light there would be darkness. In darkness, you can't read books or use a computer, so you can't learn anything except by asking people and having them inefficiently explain it to you. So there would be no doctors, lawyers, engineers, et cetera. Thus Islam is necessary to modern civilization. QED. There were no modern societies before the revelations of Muhammad. All modern societies know of the blessed teachings of the Prophet(PBUH) and the Noble Qur'an.

Well Al Jazeera is a Qatari news source, and before this whole Qatar crises, Saudi and Qatar were on the same side, Saudis (and Qataris at the time this was published) don't like Erdogan, he constantly denounces them and their involvement in terrorism around the world and their relationship with the west and Israel, there is a very logical reason for anti Erdogan propaganda.

Haha sure thing buddy. You religious extremists crack me up. Religion is fine when it's something so add a little goodness to your life and family. But you extremists take it to a whole other level, and you really are the same across all tlreligions. You're generally shitty and insecure people so you make religion into a dickwaving contest to be the most "pure" and "pious" even though everyone around you knows it's fake as shit and you're an awful person. Sorry my little jihadi friend, you're not a good and pious Muslim, you're just an asshole and any God who's about love certainly wouldn't want you at their side

What about them Armenians tho
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Ethnic genocide perpetrated by the young turks who were a secularist party whose whole deal was to limit the powers of the Caliph and have a constitutional monarchy, also Ataturk was a big fan of them. Regardless it was an ethnic genocide and not done on the basis of religion.
n/a JohnBlind 2017-06-25
??
Perpetrated by the non-secularist counter-coup and the nationalist half of the young turks as opposed to the liberalist half that Ataturk, Greeks, Assyrians, Circassians and Armenians were all a big fan of

Towel head is a racial slur you dumbass. Most muslims don't even wear turbans, you're not gonna see a white muslim wearing a turban and making fun of turbans is a racially motivated insult, don't even pretend it isn't.
n/a Promotheos 2017-06-25
I believe it's certainly a bigoted slur, but since we are splitting hairs it relates to culture and not race.
It's not as if anyone is born wearing a specific piece of clothing.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Well racism encompasses race, nationalities, ethnicities and culture
n/a Promotheos 2017-06-25
Well, that's interesting and not at all the way I conceptualized it.
Without looking it up, I'm still confident enough to say you are mistaken.
Racism does not include culture.
When 3 men from the Punjab who are Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu discriminate against each other despite having the same great-grandfather it's hardly racism.
When a posh Brit looks on a chav with disdain that is cultural bigotry is not racism.
Racism does not include nationality.
When a German Swiss discriminates against a German Austrian who discriminates against a German German this is not racism.
When a North Korean feels superior to a South Korean this is not racism.
I mean it's all bigotry, but if we are arguing semantics then you are mistaken.
I'll grant you that racism covers ethnicity.
Anyways I think we are arguing a silly point here, because ultimately I definitely agree that "towel head" is a rude and bigoted term.
I'm reluctant to even have that in my post history, quotation marks or not.
It's just not racist, technically speaking.

n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Dude Ataturk banned the hijab, burned qurans. Murdered any of the ulema who spoke out against him and reworte the athan. He was behaving just like the chinese do with the Uyghurs.
n/a Unicorn_Abattoir 2017-06-25
There were lots of women wearing the hijab when I was there.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
It got overeturned before Erdogan came to power except for in government institutions (such as schools), then when erdogan came he allowed it in government as well
n/a Unicorn_Abattoir 2017-06-25
Ok? What's your point? The forced secularism didn't keep people from practicing their religion.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
??? The Holocaust didn't kill all the jews either I guess its a good thing then right?
n/a Unicorn_Abattoir 2017-06-25
That analogy fails because you and I both agree (I hope) that killing is bad, and thus any killing, even of one person, is bad, and 'didn't kill all of them' is still bad and not good because bad begins at one death. So the Holocaust is bad because murder happened, and less murder doesn't make it ok.
By comparison, more secularism is almost always better, until it keeps people from practicing religion in their private lives. Which has not ever happened in Turkey.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
It kept people from parcticing their religion. The Hijab is a religious obligation, also scholars were MURDERED stop ignoring them.
n/a FracturedButWh0le 2017-06-25
Want us to list all the benevolent religious leaders that totally didn't kill any people? I believe that list is much longer.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Mao and Stalin are the two biggest mass murderers in history, nothing you say washes you from that, don't brush it off.
n/a FracturedButWh0le 2017-06-25
Washes me from that? I'm not a supporter of either.
Both of those you named were part of a cult of personality. The Soviet press presented Stalin as an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent leader -- they even nicknamed him "Father of Nations". Sounds familiar? It's indistinguishable from religious thought, language and rhetoric.
Like I said. Want me to list the religious leaders throughout the ages that has slaughtered and continue to slaughter millions of people? It's almost too many to count. There's literally thousands of examples.
n/a BeerusOfDestruction 2017-06-25
Ahh yes the super atheist is somehow a religious leader, nice shifiting blame. Deal with your bad apples fuck face.
n/a FracturedButWh0le 2017-06-25
I didn't say he was a religious leader. Your limited reading comprehension is showing. You should stick to reading and memorizing one book. That seems more like your kind of thing.
Stalin was raised as a Greek Orthodox, FYI. His parents even wanted him to become a priest. Surely his strict religious upbringing had no impact on his character and views later on in life.
n/a MsExmusThrowAway 2017-06-25
Wrong and wrong.
n/a Kanck 2017-06-25
The whole point of secularism is to not follow blindly in someone else's footsteps. Pointing towards Mao and Stalin is pointless because we know they were trash humans, and for that reason secularists won't follow them. You, on the other hand, literally worship a pedophile, and take his word as a guide on how to live a morally correct life. But whatever, this is r/drama cba effortposting

It's ok, we just know Islam's going to wither and diminish, the same way Christianity has done when exposed to secularism over the centuries.
In the end, your sons or grandsons will decide that worship of Allah is not for them. Your daughters or granddaughters will tire of your rules, and eventually, Islam will be cast aside. But, before that happens, there will be many ways that people try to reconcile the two, like this mosque. And, little by little your Islam will wither.
Take secularism seriously or not, but in the end it really doesn't matter. So, hey, enjoy things while they last. 💋

You recognize me as a fellow r/prequelmemes memer?
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
The reason why I am on here is because I got mentioned in a drama fest over here.
The fact is that most Westerners not only want Muslims to integrate, but assimilate by getting rid of various portions of Islam and Islamic law. Many aspects of Islam creep them out.
n/a twinksteverogers 2017-06-25
Lol did you know that I get a comment notification, and I know by that first line (you recognize me as..) it would be followed by (a surprise to be....) It's second nature for us by now to react w/ prequel quotes.
I recognize you because I see your comments on the posts and also in the weekly FTF
Yup, the people over here is obsessed with drama in religion subs especially r/islam. But you seem to handle the mention pretty well so everybody is good, kind of. I mostly lurk here and rarely comment because these guys are edgy and can be really mean sometimes.
I know, as Muslims it's impossible for us to do that because Islam is by God/by extension the Quran and hadith Muhammad s.a.w so people can't just pick and choose whatever they like and define that as a Muslim thing.

Nah, as a muslim, we don't have that problem. Rashidun Caliphates are as good as they get in terms of implementing the Rule of islam over a large government

Don't listen to this liar.
n/a skyfullofstars_12 2017-06-25
You're kidding, right? The Rashidun would never imagine the type of weaponry we use today, let alone know how to use this. Islam was spread with the sword before, now it's obliterating itself by the bomb.
n/a Thorium-230 2017-06-25
I don't get the point of your post - my point was the rashidun implemented Sharia well. If you're trying to say that if they had access to modern weaponry, they'd commit terrorism, then no the purposeful targetting of civilians is prohibited in Islam.
The above commenter claimed that Islam had the same problem Communism had according to communist apologetics - that it hasn't been truly/properly implemented. That's false, was the point of my comment, cause you could look at history and see proper implementations, the best of which are the implementations of the prophet (small scale nation), and of the rashidun (larger scale)

The irony is that this progressive True Islam is what this mosque is preaching. It's a tiny minority scorned by everyone else. It's like 15 people tops in that mosque.

You bet I am. I'm more of a Saturn or Jupiter kind of guy than a snicker Venus worshipper. It's funny how you convinced everyone that a bunch of pussywhipped goddess worshipers who can't even get a good perv going are some sort of oppressive Patriarchs.
n/a potatothrowaw 2017-06-25
So if you believe in a divine message you expect to question the literal word of god?
"Morality" is nothing more than a social construct, constantly changing for better or for worse. There's no reason to think you, a mere human with limited knowledge and understanding, knows better than god.

If a mere human's knowledge is so limited, how are they supposed to determine what God really wants? Wouldn't someone so ignorant be very easy to manipulate with lies?

You know God do you? Communicate to him directly? Could you ask him why he made you so ignorant?
n/a uptotwentycharacters 2017-06-25
So did you question or disbelieve in God's existence before He first spoke to you?
n/a nanonan 2017-06-25
I'm an agnostic theist. He hasn't shown up yet. I'll let you know when I recieve divine revalation. Meanwhile I'll happily disbelieve anyone elses claim to divine revalation and persue what is right and just without thinking I need to adhere to bronze age poetry to follow the will of the divine.

/u/Adu_Adderall does Islam not have the same issues as Judahish and Christianity where certain things simply do not work in the modern age? E.g. slavery, combining fabrics, crop rotation, pedophilia?
n/a skyfullofstars_12 2017-06-25
Muslims have abandoned slavery (which was part of the word of 'God') yet they use a few vague hadiths to make millions of women wear the hijab. Islam is shit.
n/a Signihc 2017-06-25
Hijab wearing is in the Quran. Heck, some people even think Niqab covering is in the Quran

Megamido, given that you're a Muslim you must have noticed the massive amount of homophobic and sexist teachings that other most other Muslims adhere to?
n/a megamido 2017-06-25
Obviously I've noticed, but its not what I, or my friends, or my family believe - whom are all mostly practicing Muslims. All I was trying to say was that I expected a friggin' subreddit discussing Islam in between other links of memes and cat pics on Reddit would be a little more liberal or open-minded that what /r/Islam came across as.
n/a aonome 2017-06-25
People on the Internet are more liberal leaning but these are Muslims mate. The stats don't lie.

I've always had an issue with this. Basically my understanding is that if somebody has homosexual feelings they should suppress them and instead just marry a woman anyway. However, this is absolute torture for a gay male/female.
Try and put it like this (assuming you're straight) - you are in a society where being gay is the norm and you are heterosexual. You are told to suppress your heterosexuality and instead marry a man like everybody else does. You'd feel pretty disgusted by it, right? Well, that is what Islam is putting gays through. This isn't tolerant at all. This is torture.
n/a UsernamesAreHaram 2017-06-25
Can confirm, I live through this torture. I would love to be more effeminate but I have to be masculine in order to not get disowned for being gay.

There will always be some deviants, but clearly a lot more people are willing to talk the talk than walk the walk.
On a separate note, just read Surah Al-Baqarah the other day, and ayah 11-12 and the ones around it fit in with this nicely: "And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers." Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not."
"Deviants" here means "decent human beings".

Because all those people ancestors got invaded by the original Islamic state. Islam had only started spreading when they started to wage war and rape the victim women to make Muslim babies. Islam has always been about invasion then forced breeding. If that ideology was killed off earlier, you'd never even hear of it and Saudis would've been ashamed of it instead of being fucked in the ass by it. I'm so glad I left that cult.
