You’re statistics are worthless. The problem is getting worse only in your mind. How dare you belittle a billion human beings just because you have read an article in The Daily Mail. Maia this is a conspiracy theory, you’re facts are based on propaganda not reality. This is a tiny minority of criminal gangs, gangs which exist across the cultural board and your insistence that it isn’t is unrealistic and naive. In the last year we have seen news reports on criminal paedophile rings in many cultures from white to black. What we have not seen is any science behind any of it, are Muslims in communities across our great world more likely to create paedophile gangs? Well you have yet to show that. Again you are only trying to convince yourself an audience of 1 is a small group.
The fact is there are no more paedophiles than there were 20 or 100 years ago in any country, it just gets reported now more often, and it’s easier to catch them. No race suddenly becomes more prolific in any sexual activity just because the newspapers write more articles.
The Muslims deliberately targeted girls who had had a breakdown in parenting, or were even in care homes. I think this indicates that the majority of parenting is still fairly good, though it could probably be better. It’s true, for example, that when a school reaches a certain proportion of non-whites, white parents will move away from the area to send their kids to white schools, if they can afford to do so. This is a healthy sign, but more needs to be done, otherwise we will soon have whole cities overrun.
There you go yet again, blaming the messenger. I didn’t read this in the Daily Mail, it just happened to be the first link I found to post here. Please just Google it, it is everywhere.
If those billion people happen to believe in the rantings of a paedophile, sadistic, terrorist cult leader and his “holy book” that makes Mein Kampf look like a walk in the park, then they can all just f*** off as far as I’m concerned, I want nothing to do with their filth.
There isn’t much difference between a flower and a weed. It is merely an issue of preference. Socialist nations are owned by their lords, their “gardeners for their future”.
What right does a flower have to tell the gardener what flowers to pick or cull?
… or by what means.
I give up the floor to those more eloquent than I and those that have more patience than I…This young girl is entrenched. Good luck to all. I can’t see the romantic at heart at all.
When you actually have any kids, perhaps then, and only then, will you have anything to ‘say’ at all. And, I hope (personally in opinion) you don’t have kids.
Please, do not reproduce, for as many years as any notion of wisdom requires.
!!!
Is this really what you believe, Maia???
I can’t believe your attitude. I don’t think that you have actually met or interacted with many or even any Muslims. How can you be so single-mindedly racist and tar an entire group of people with the same brush??
There are many passages in the Koran, the teachings and words of Mohammed, that have been twisted by the powerful and influential to indoctrinate the simple, ignorant or oppressed. The Koran preaches tolerance, equality, righteousness, and respect for others whether they be men or women, elderly or children, other religions and peoples.
I am very proud of my eldest daughter who has just graduated from high school. During her last year, she was part of a group of kids chosen to be in a group for integration with arab kids from schools in the nearby arab towns. The purpose being to understand one another and each others culture. Hoping to form connections and friendships maybe for a better future.
Separation, intolerance, fear and hatred can only lead to more suffering in the long run. And even to war and bloodshed which is only too common in the region here.
I have, I assure you, interacted with a great many Muslims. As for the Koran preaching tolerance and respect…
There may well be a few peaceful verses in the Koran, it is, after all, full of contradictions, but there are far, far more like the following. Any attempt, therefore, to claim that “true” Muslims are not violent is doomed to failure. By its very nature, Islam will always have followers who choose violence in the name of their god.
Why is it that when people decide to lambast the religious texts of others, they have to skip chapters and verses. The above is more about removing context in order to show a bit of negative content. Even then much is fairly ambiguous. Pretty much parental in a strict way. Obey mom and dad, don’t screw up, don’t play with criminals or you get punished. Obey and you get a lollipop.
I have yet to see any religious or government text or doctrine that does not act like a parent of problem children.
I find it very difficult to imagine how you can interpret it as a bit of parental guidance. As for removing context, perhaps you are unfamiliar with the Koran. There is NO context anywhere in the Koran. Verses shift randomly from subject to subject.
I’m sure it is quite easy to google “kill” and “Koran verses”, then copy/paste the results without having due prior knowledge of any context. This can probably be done with The Bible, The Bhagavad Gita, and even with Harry Potter.
Maybe someone can try this? I can’t see the point, though. And how making a list of quotes like this proves something, it’s like selective propaganda.
Yea, just googled. You can do it with the major religious texts. The kicker, half are negative the other half are putting infamous words back into context. Not surprising about the out of context. We can always find ways to hate.
Yeah you can cherry pick from any of the religious books in any religion and create the idea that religion is one of aggression and tyranny, the problem is of course you have to use context and you have to be careful how you pick out certain passages, what was going on in the history of nation or nations when it was said, and what it actually meant.
Islam does have some quite violent passages it also has many passages that talk of mercy and compassion to those who do not necessarily believe exactly as Muslims do.
That took 10 minutes, if I spent a day on this I could find many more passages, of course they have not the richness of context but neither did yours. You asked only for passages.
What you need to do with your passages is put them in a context with the history of a religion that was persecuted from day one by neighbouring people. Some of these things were said in the midst of war and violence and were likewise contextual geared towards those who had persecuted them.
If you want to learn about a religion though don’t go to a web site pick out all the passages you can find that agree with your argument and then dispense with the rest. This is what many religions do, you should be better than the warmongers of faith.
You have to also remember that the Middle East is an area that has been abused and invaded for more than a thousand years, and that the disagreements are no longer really religious quarrels they are mostly political, and mostly to do with broken promises from the West. Islam is not a religion that is free from people who do wrong nor is it a wholly peaceful religion, but it certainly is no worse than Christianity or no better. Politics will always make pious men abandon their faith.
Osamah Bin Laden when asked about Islam and his Jihad against the West whether it was a religious matter said quite clearly it is not about my faith so much it is about the politics and actions of the people who have acted against my people.
So was your cherry picked mess of contextless garbage, like for like. If you are just going to google Why muslims are evil and cherry pick, why should I make the effort to do otherwise? I did as well as you did given what you did.
