Why would I read yet another opinion on this subject? I know what I think, because I think about it. Think.
As I said several times, I am not singling out Muslims or any creed, race or religion in particular. I may have used particular events as examples. Such as in your idea that 'they' have received far more violence than dished out. Depends how far you go back dude. Islam tried to take over the whole of Europe many moons ago, but ended up in like Turkey and Egypt and around there. They were merciless. Does that not count? Its been going on for centuries.
So did Christianity, the Crusades, missionaries in China (which my family has a large history of), converting the natives, haha. (<-- sarcasm).
P.S. Maybe you dont know what is right or wrong instinctivly Drew, but you have no right to deny that anyone else does. I do. It IS wrong to kill or incite anyone else to kill over a belief in a d
Yes there has been major hostilities from them to. So I'll score that point as too much research either side would care to do. Because I mean if you go back farther you have tons of slavery and economic oppression.
I DENY that fundamental fallacy 100%! Our brains concieve the idea of death through our experience. We use those ideas associated with it to develop a value system of what life is worth independent from the majorities opinion. We use EXPERIENCE to develop more ideas and set our values on several other things such as god and among the others. None of this is instinctual. A blind deaf person will not hesitate to kill someone for the most miniscule reason because they have not experienced the same humanity as we have. The truth is the majority of unenlightened people don't kill for the sole reason of avoiding any punishment. The sole reason that these punishments exist is so that people can be productive, whoever concieved
Well, there you go Drew.
You think it can be OK to kill someone in the name of your God if they insult him/her/it.
Someone stood to gain from making murder punishable.
Murder is punishable so people can be productive.
A blind deaf person will not hesitate to kill for the most miniscule reason.
You, son, are ill. Get help. Stop smoking whatever you smoke or dropping whatever you drop. Go seek out some veterans (of war), some lifers in prison or talk to your spitual/religious guru. Even better, enlist and go see for yourself.

I don't think drew is saying a lot of that stuff for himself crafty he is seeking to understand a completely new culture and he is saying what makes us more right
like scarlet said the only solution is killing or reforming somehow
WHY THE HELL WOULD I SERVE AN INSTITUTION THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF MY COUNTRIES ECONOMY AND PUSHES THEIR VALUES AND PEES ON THE CORPSES OF THOSE THAT VIEW THINGS DIFFERENTLY FROM THEM!!!!!!!?
