Your interpretation.
Thanks for my knee-slapper of the day. I don't think you could possibly be more vague.
Look, if you have nothing, and trust me, you DO have nothing, it's not a great move to make it so painfully obvious.
Your interpretation.
Demonstrably so.Is Judaism?
Your interpretation.
The most difficult aspect of judging Islam solely on what it teaches is doing so without seeming to defame Muslims as a whole. When I quote the verses that, for example, explicitly tell Muslims to fight Infidels in order to establish Islamic rule, I'm invariably accused of saying All Muslims are terrorists, and things deteriorate from there.
So, I propose you try to treat the subject as though you are in school studying long-dead religions. Try to imagine that Islam died out centuries ago, and that you're simply studying it as an academic exercise. Just look at what the Qur'an and hadiths say coupled with early Islamic history. That will allow you to separate cold, hard fact from the emotional baggage of having Muslim friends, neighbours, and coworkers with whom you get along just fine.
It is something that the west needs to debate. Does Islam allow Muslims to assimilate in the west? Is Islam compatible with the west?

Don't defame them as a whole.
There. Problem solved.
Is Judaism?
No, that's what your little Islamophobic cult does. We know you got the same advice you're giving. You disconnected for this BS. Pathetic.
Let's try a different approach. Given that I have this cuh-raaaazy idea that Islamic terrorists are trying to kill infidels because verse 9:29 says, "Kill infidels....etc", and we all know that can't be the reason, why don't you unlock the mystery for us. After all, if you can say that my "interpretation" is wrong, then simple logic tells us you know what's right. So why the secrecy?? Please enlighten us (oh, and be sure to use words like 'disaffected' and 'marginalized', because they paint such a clear picture).

I agree with you on Judaism but not Christianity. There are a such thing as ethnic Jews but there isn't a such thing as ethnic Christians.But that is the same for other religions, like Christianity and Judaism. IF you follow it according to the teachings then it is a way of life. Hell, back in my younger Born-Again-Christian days my life revolved around my faith.
The Old Testament dictates some pretty heinous ****, why are you comfortable with that religion being integrated into our society?Demonstrably so.
How has a huge influx of Muslims worked out in Europe?

Fundamentalism is a form of mental illness, like hard drug addiction.
I don't know about that. Jesus was a fundamentalist and he was arguably the finest example of love the world has ever seen. Thomas Jefferson called Christ’s teachings “the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man.”
On the other hand, there's liberal fundamentalism.
Beware of Liberal Fundamentalism
"Rather than truly embrace “freedom,” liberal fundamentalists seek to control virtually every aspect of the lives of the masses that are unfortunate enough to be under their fundamentalist rulership. They seek to outlaw SUV’s, impose smoking bans while advocating marijuana use, prohibit freedom of religious expression in government and public schools, advocate compulsory training in politically correct opinions and attitudes, seek to enforce Bible bans in schools and the workplace, embrace a de-facto litmus test against pro-life judicial nominees, seek to criminalize pro-life demonstrations through the RICO racketeering statute, try to squelch legitimate religious speech via “hate-speech” laws (note Canada), and generally engage in a wide range of behaviors designed to subvert the U.S. Constitution and traditional American values."
"It is certainly arguable, then, that “progressive” liberal fundamentalism substantially undermines the basic effectiveness of the government and other societal elements of democracy. Despite the idealistic goals of liberalism, attempts to build a utopian liberal society in America have only led to heightened outbreaks of AIDS, VD, porno-related crime, social divisions, divorce, abortion, drug addictions, deficit spending, the welfare state, a crushing tax burden, the breakdown of the family unit, moral depravity, and numerous other such scourges which have resulted in enormous societal suffering and discontent. As a result, liberal fundamentalism is strongly associated with left-wing fanaticism, reverse-racism, anti-intellectualism, elitism, nihilism, godlessness, and societal violence."

That seems to be totally irrelevant to religion, and highly inaccurate, full of logical fallacies, misunderstandings, and lies.
I agree with you on Judaism but not Christianity. There are a such thing as ethnic Jews but there isn't a such thing as ethnic Christians.
Where yes practicing various forms of Judaism requires special dress, behavior and habits as do certain forms of Christianity but many of not all religions do this to some degree. So I consider such things trappings of religion not ethnic it cultural background.
If I may reply: Because Europe is mainly post-Christian. Only a small minority of Swedes, for example, know what is is the Bible and even fewer care. Christianity is tamed and powerless which is why we are unconcerned that it is not yet quite dead.
Horse manure.
You can not show where that analysis is wrong.
Fundamentalist Christianity is a powerful religious and political force in the USA, so some of us here are still concerned about it. Muslims are vastly outnumbered.
Ramoss, take your left-wing, politically-correct, anti-Christianity bs on down the pike.
