It is amazing to me how different the views are. One on side you got Westerner apologists whose knowledge of Islam is what they half remember from a video they saw on YouTube ten years ago on the other hand you have the Taliban. Both sides claim to know what real Islam is about. Well sorry not sorry I am going to believe the people who live with the Koran vs you.
You know good Muslims? I do as well. Does that make the tenents of Islam good? I don't think so. Does that make them true? Nope. All you can really say is that you know people who aren't following their own religion and as a result they are good people.
Correct, and the same for Christianity. The doctrines are really quite similar in their treatment of minorities. The only difference in that respect is that one doctrine says to just kill them, and the other says to exile and shun them (but stoning for some), or torment them mentally and emotionally until they abandon their beliefs and conform to the doctrine of the church.
The tenets of Islam are pretty good tho - pray a lot every day, give money to the poor, do a pilgrimage - it's the historic and contemporary leadership, culture, violence, and precedence that are bad
Praying is talking to yourself because there is no god to hear it.
Sure, but meditation is good
It has some medical benefits yes. As does a small walk around the block.
I would love a religion that mandates 5 daily walks
Ask and ye shall receive
Praying isn't Meditating, it's Praying.
Nope you're just a bigot.
You an call me what you want, that won't make your skydaddy real.
I'm an atheist and have read the Koran. Got it as a gift from a Muslim friend who is an eminently decent and well meaning person.
Blasphemy the Holy Ghost and deny the existence of Allah. Go ahead and commit the unforgivable sins. As an atheist this shouldn't be an issue for you.
