re: Australian Imam: Make No Mistake, Islamic Scripture Commands Beheadings, Massacre People

And I will just go ahead and post the entirety of the poll

LINK

The methods begin on page 147. And by the way all questionnaires were conducted in person face to face in the subject's home.

Which in my opinion most likely underestimated the extremist responses given the fact that it's probably difficult to find the jihadists hiding in the caves when the US government can't

People commit violence based on Islam alone.

It's cute to see you break your back though pretending all the violence is because of conflict and western intervention in the ME.

You should just move back over there.

You don't.

I'll buy those numbers for the most part. On homosexuality, there are some surprising percentages in asia and the US. If you are trying to demonstrate an incompatibility between people from different regions and cultures, then I'd say you are off to a good start. If you are trying to demonstrate the level piety to Islam throughout the world, then I'd say you haven't produced much more than a few data points.

For example, you will probably find Christians in Iraq, egypt, and Jordan to be quite unaccepting of homosexuality, in percentages similar to that of their Muslim neighbors. Very similarly, female genital mutilation is practiced by both Copts in Egypt and Muslim Kurds. So if we were to survey only one group, with no other data to compare the results to, we might conclude that the ritual is a christian practice. Which would be incorrect, as it predates Christianity and it is practiced by people of several religions in several regions and two continents.

Stoning as a punishment for adultry predates Islam in all of those areas, though from what I understand it is encouraged in Islam as well. That's pretty sick and should be rejected. it is still relatively rare to see that happen considering it's suggested or even commanded in their holy book. Its5 not a common occurrence anywhere in the region to my knowledge. Interestingly, when it happened in Afghanistan in 2015, it made international headlines Taliban stone woman to death and Afghans from all over the world condemned it. Afghanistan is a very conservative country, but it wasn't like the country took that in stride, or unanimously supported the murder. In fact it caused outrage. Women are treated very poorly there, regardless of how many of them are stoned for adultry. Just clearing that up.

I find it interesting that you would post that poll as solid evidence of your argument in and of itself, when almost every one of those countries has laws again the very questions asked in the poll questions, and outrage ensues when these barbaric practices occur. You don't need to live there for years to realize that.

Yeah, there hasn't been any killing or bad things outside of religion.

Take the 20th century, for instance, a time when the prevailing thought (and it continues today) is that religion is dying and should be expelled from the marketplace (and with great and influential thinkers like Russell and Freud for instance). That century included the Holocaust and two World Wars (among other things) that killed more than 100 million people. Mao killed around 60 million, Stalin around 40 million, and Hitler around 30 million. None of that in the name of religion. As a matter of fact, those three combined probably killed more than all religious wars and deaths combined.

Also, the Encyclopedia of Wars by authors Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod who documented the history of recorded warfare, their list of 1,763 wars only 123 have been classified to involve a religious cause, accounting for less than 7 percent of all wars and less than 2 percent of all people killed in warfare.

Now I do believe that some religious thought is dangerous, but that doesn't mean religion itself is the issue. Evils take place in all kinds of forms and places. Evils have happened and have happened under the guise of many worldviews. But you keep spouting that ridiculous narrative.

Some us are asking, why are we trusting the stewards of Wahhabism, the House of Saud, with billions of dollars of military hardware? No country is more liable for Sunni terrorism than Saudi Arabia. It is without question the creator of the cancer and is primarily responsible for its spread around the world.
