The absolute worst thing you can call a modern liberal is racist. The label of racist trumps everything, including sexism and violence. Liberals make excuses for murderers and pedophiles. They do not make excuses for people they perceive as racists, whether they actually are racist or not. Liberals fight tooth and nail for murderers to receive due process under the law and lighter sentences if possible because supposedly society made them that way, criminals are victims of systemic oppression and it is immoral to want to punish them. They do not feel the same way about racists and many will laugh at the notion of reasonableness and objectivity in that regard. Apparently, racists deserve to be attacked in public, be kicked out of school, have their careers destroyed and their family life turned upside down. If it was possible to put someone in prison for being labelled a racist, I 100 percent believe liberals would support that.

What does all this have to do with Islam? Liberals have somehow equated Islam (i.e. a religion) with race, specifically "brown" people. Criticizing Islam is therefore an attack on persons of color everywhere, and thus racist. No statistic, no debate, no anything is ever going to overcome that thought process.

You know that's not a real retort right? If you can't understand why somebody might compare and contrast three abrahamic religions (i.e. common origin), I have to assume you have some sort of mental deficiency.

Why are all Muslims bound to the original rules of their religion but not Christians or Jews?

Because wanting the words of God changed paints that person as a non-believer. The Quran calls for non-believers to be killed, while the Bible (and probably Jews, idk) just says to shun them basically and let them go to Hell on their own.

So where in the Bible does god say this can be done?

The part where it doesn't say "kill anyone who tries to change it."

And that's what they're trying to change. Bro these books were written by man not god. They claimed it was gods word but it was written, changed, and adapted by man. Why are you so set on "Islam can't change!"...this religion isn't going away. You won't eradicate it. Help moderate and modern Muslims change the bull shit instead of attacking and attacking them like terrorists. millions of Muslims live and practice Islam and don't even acknowledge the violent parts of it. That should be the new direction. You aren't helping shit by keeping them in the past and trying to eliminate them. It won't happen.

You can tell which posters in this topic have very few, if any, minority and/or Muslim friends.


I have several Muslim friends, hell my sister's whole family is Muslim, and not once, have they tried to kill me/berate me/convert me for/from eating pork.

You can tell who gets their view of the world from fear-mongering politicians and who gets it from actually being in it.

I'm keeping them in the past? I'm just making observations about the religious texts; I'm not the one beheading and stoning people who want to want to modernize it.

I'd be fine with it if they could modernize it, but it won't happen. It's not realistic. Nobody wants to walk into an Iranian village and hand out altered copies of the Quran because they don't want to die.

because many modern liberals are liberal in name only. The belief structure they have isn't based in political principal, but often in cultural relativism, and post modern interpretations of power structures.

And they absolutely attack Muslims who try and reform the religion like Maajid Nawaz who made the SPLCs list of anti muslim people.

Why do people think Islam will "change" or "adapt" like Christianity?

Christianity is a peaceful religion exploited by some to do bad things.

Islam is a violent and sexist religion in its very fabric, making it the problem instead of just any bad people who follow it.

Islam was by far the most progressive religion between the 8th and 13th centuries, and the scientific and scholarly accomplishments that came from the Middle East during that period dwarfed anything the Europeans were doing. Tragically, the Arab Muslim would had a counter-Renaissance, where the major leaders of Islam rejected (and killed) the practitioners who believed that Allah wanted man to devote his life to discovering the natural world (i.e. science). Instead, the Islamic groups that survived believe Allah wants man to devote their lives to the discovery of God.

As a result, the European countries excelled and are the predominant culture in the world today, while those formerly great Arab countries are oppressive, intellectual wastelands. Even beyond that, they only culture they export today is extremism and archaic beliefs that are not compatible with western Liberal (capital L) cultural values.

No. It doesn't.

Supporting terrorist acts is illegal REGARDLESS of religion.

You should also look up the IRA if you're into demonizing an entire religion for the actions of the few.

Sorry, I can't really follow what the hell you guys are talking about here.

But when has Mal_Fet said to throw people in jail just for being Muslim or said a person is a piece of shit for not wanting to throw Muslims who haven't committed any crimes in jail?

They know I don't say that, but they have to pretend that I do because deep inside they know their position is indefensible unless they make believe their political opponents are worse.

I dislike Islam because -- in common with other irrational belief systems that seek to control people with myths, fairytales and superstitions ultimately backed by the threat of punishment for dissenters -- it's an ideology that fits into my ideal of a secular-humanistic liberal democracy about as well as a square peg in a round hole.

But that doesn't mean you can't separate the human rights and civil liberties of the holders of a belief from criticism of the belief itself. (No ideology is, or should be, immune from criticism.) There's no contradiction between being willing to criticize Islam as a flawed ideology and being willing to defend Muslims from injustice or violence -- any more than there's a contradiction between pointing out that Scientology is a fraud and insisting that Scientologists are entitled to constitutional rights.

Many Muslims are trying to do the same for Islam. Remove that aspect of hate and violence. Many don't agree with it all. But people like TC lump those people in with terrorists and make it impossible for them to change things.

The Quran itself makes it impossible to change things.

Why are all Muslims bound to the original rules of their religion but not Christians or Jews?


Because Islam teaches that the Quran is the final revelation from God, and that all people need to follow it to the letter in its entirety or else. Christianity and Judaism don't operate that way. Especially in the case of Christianity. You should read the Quran.

Because they are ignorant and literally believe in a thing such as "secular/moderate Islam" which by definition cannot even exist to begin with. The verses in the Quran are attributed to being the ACTUAL, VERBATIM words of Allah Himself revealed to the human mind. So it is absolute and cannot be interpreted or swept over. Islam means to submit to the law of Allah. Therefore, secular/Moderate Islam cannot exist because the moment you tey to rationalise a single verse revealed by Allah you are automatically no longer a Muslim BY DEFINITION.

This stands in stark contrast to The Torah and The Bible in which only very, very few verses are directly attributed to God Himself speaking law and 90% of Scripture is actually parable and other people such as kings, leaders, apostles etc speaking or conceptualizing ideas.

If you spin the Quran, you cannot be a Muslim. Full stop.
