I would recommend meeting an actual Muslim or reading less hysterical material about Islam. Even better perhaps, try reading about the history of Western imperialism in the middle East and a lot of the issues will suddenly become clearer.
- Circuits 7y agoMost of my information comes from history books and actually reading the Koran. I have also studied a bit on what life is like in countries where Sharia law is practiced such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan and tbh it's not looking to hot for Islam.
- BubRoss 7y agoThere are a billion muslims on Earth, maybe you should focus on statistics and talking to people instead.
- Circuits 7y agoI am though... you might try speaking to someone who has had to leave a neighborhood which has recently received an influx of Muslims? Perhaps you should talk to a devote Muslim yourself because I have and I don't believe, based on my experience, that you are practicing what you are preaching too me here. Just ask one devote Muslim male what their ideal world would look like.
- jlawson 7y agoA collective belief system should be judged on its collective outcomes. Not whether individual members seen like nice people, because they almost always will in the right context. People support wrongs as a collective. I.e. if you were a guest at Himmler's dinner party in 1938 you could perfectly well think he's a nice guy. It doesn't follow that Nazism is okay.
