It’s boring to me since it’s very easy for me to see the faults of a religion that I have no association with.

I am wondering if there are a lot of exmuslim people here or if it’s people raised in a christian world that just have a specific gripe with islam.

I was raised in a part of the world mostly shaped by christianity and so I was hoping to see more examination of that.

      i won’t defend the religion but you are mistaking a majority of muslims with a minority of maniacal hotheads. Most muslims don’t give a damn about your life or death and a great majority of them don’t want to live under sharia either.

      we should learn to hate the religion without hating people and not confuse the two.

        Believers of any religion come in exactly two varieties: extremists and those who provide aid and cover for extremists. The nice old lady down the street doing a bake sale and donating the proceeds to her church is still supporting an institution that hides child molesters, robs the community of their time, money and critical thinking skills and advocates for harmful public policy that strips people of their rights. That last piece is supposed to be prohibited by 501(c)(3) rules in the US but I’m not holding my breath waiting to see those enforced.
