This. The oil that turns the crank of industry and provides the energy that produces so much of every comfort we hold dear in the west finances the very evil that seeks to destroy it. Until we end our reliance of oil, the middle east and Islam will continue to threaten the West's existence. It's a horrible irony.
- llamataboot 11y agoIslam is not threatening the West's existence.
- raverbashing 11y agoNo, of course not We just have "Sharia Law" areas in the UK, honour killings in Canada, people getting shot in France and elsewhere because of drawings, etc And if someone disagrees I'd like to hear your opinion.
- nova 11y ago> And if someone disagrees I'd like to hear your opinion. No opinions, only censorship.
- gnaritas 11y agoGangs and crime aren't new, none of those things threaten our existence or the western way of life.
- jon-wood 11y agoWe do not have Sharia Law areas in the UK. I have no idea where that story came from, but its not based on fact. Particularly amusing was the Fox News coverage of areas of Birmingham where apparently white people can't go - my white friends who've lived there for decades would like to dispute that.
- raverbashing 11y agoYes, but I think the Fox News thing was with Paris However: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3tkbpf/man_assaulted_with_pickaxe_in_britain_over/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3tkbpf/man_assaulted_...
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoI can also name a couple of Christian women who have drowned their children to inhibit alleged Satanic forces. Pointing out stories without confirming real trends is useless.

- criley2 11y agoWe also have Christians murdering abortion doctors, setting bombs and fires at clinics, Christian Sovereign Citizens murdering police on a near monthly basis, advocating for a theocracy in America (God above Country or Establishment of a national religion), advocation of Christian Law above secular law, etc, and we manage to keep our society from becoming a theocracy. Frankly, if a few evangelical Muslims are capable of destroying the secular foundation of your systems, those systems were weak in the first place.
- raverbashing 11y agoOh I know about those cases (some at least) "Evangelical Muslims" might be a misnomer, but I get what you're saying (and I agree mostly)
- vox_mollis 11y agoWell the obvious answer here is that all Abrahamic religions are suspect for breeding violence. But you can't say that in polite company for fear of the ADL, et. al.
- woah 11y agoYou're conflating tiny instances of violent crime with some kind of legitimate military threat. This is the cowardly chickenhawk mentality.
- azth 11y agoThe phrase "Shariah Law" keeps being thrown around like by people who don't know what it means to spread FUD. Honor killings are prohibited Islamically. Here is an example of ISIS being denounced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2HlIYRvCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2HlIYRvCM
- raverbashing 11y agoThere's always someone to say "X is prohibited" and people that do X and that profess to be allowed. Ah so is it wrong? Go tell them. Also look at Apostasy and how it's dealt with in the majority of Muslim majority countries
- azth 11y ago> There's always someone to say "X is prohibited" and people that do X and that profess to be allowed. We have proof that it is prohibited, and it is the onus of those claiming otherwise to demonstrate how it isn't. I don't known where you're saying that any Muslim professes that honor killings are allowed. > Ah so is it wrong? Go tell them. Many already are, as how I showed in the video I linked in my last post.
- raverbashing 11y agoThe video is interesting, however it keeps happening http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3251787/Muslim-father-strangled-daughter-19-death-honour-killing-caught-stealing-condoms-sex-forbidden-boyfriend-Germany.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3251787/Muslim-fathe... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/29/canada-honor-killing-shafia-family-guilty_n_1240268.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/29/canada-honor-killin...
- azth 11y agoIt takes time to educate people. Do you think things are going to change overnight? Especially with what is going on in the world today? The fact remains, that both of those incidents you posted are 100% against Islamic teachings. Walk to any mosque in your area and ask if you don't believe me.
- adrr 11y ago@raverbashing since i can't reply to the child We also have abortion clinic bombings, shootings and arsons done by christians. There was one recently in Pullman, WA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence#United_...

- smegel 11y agoNot when every nuclear armed state except Pakistan and North Korea are lined up to give it a good whipping.
- fukusa 11y agoAs I have said before: (Islamist) extremism is mostly reactionary. The cause is not Islam.
