I fucking hate muslims

[Tic]

This is a tough topic. On one hand, the 'majority' of terrorists (at least made public) seem to be of Middle Eastern descent. On the other hand, not all those of Middle Eastern descent are terrorists. I was talking to my GF about this the other day. It's impossible to avoid thinking differently considering all the things that have happened. It's like going to a house and getting bit by a dog. You probably aren't going to attempt petting the dog next time. And certainly not if it happens numerous times. It IS unfair to do that to an entire race though, because even that dog example is just 1 dog. There are plenty of friendly dogs. I'm not comparing anyone to a dog, just making an example.

Majority come from Middle Eastern countries?? Nope. Not at all. You must mean Eastern European countries.

And Islam isn't a race lol.

Basically, the Q'uran isn't meant to be taken in its LITERAL form. Thats where ya get these fucked up fuzzy wuzzys that go round chopping heads off and screaming shit out like wailing banshees.
It is supposed to be taken as you read it - and interpreted in your own way. NOT as it was written. Cuz the way it was written.... that shit was accepted back then. Such as child sex, beastiality, honour-killing blah blah blah. Problem is, NOBODY can speak the fluent Arabic of yesteryear - so what ya get is some Imam in modern day mosques preaching shit to you that hes made up from someone who made it up, from someone who made it up. Its chinese whispers.

British mosques (for example) are ran by the Saudis and they have a different outlook on Islam. They follow the idea that, as a muslim, you should follow the exact example of Muhammad. This is where the bad side of Islam crops up. And this is where the differences between the Sunni and Shi'a sects comes into play. Muhammad had people killed for saying negative shit about him - so now ya got these crazy extremists that cuz they believe god is infallible, and cuz they follow the religion for how it was wayyyy back in the day, they believe you cannot go against his word or speak negative of him. Shit like that is punishable with death in their eyes. Although this isnt followed by all sects of Islam. Its a minefield - but yea, point is, its EXTREMELY ignorant to believe that all Muslims are of the same beliefs. Get educated!

JFTR - I'm not religious

Please show me where I mentioned Islam at all in my post. I guess I was wrong saying most are of Middle Eastern descent though.

I don't know enough about Islam to accurately assess what you said, but I will second the fact that it's ignorant to 'hate Muslims.' Because like you said, there are extremists who take the text literally, but not everyone does. Just like there are extremists in every religion.

You were talking about Islam and Muslims - then referred to them as a race. No?

I misspoke. You are correct.
