Since nobody else will ask, I will... Does Islam have a problem?

[OddTrader]

The moderates are really reluctant to make a stand against the extremists.

Exactly!

The so-called civilized world been bombing the homes of these people for the last 30 years. What do you people expect from them?
Throw you flowers!
Give me a break!

No one kills more Muslims on this earth now or in the past than other Muslims.

Glad to check that some ET posters take the time to research and get informed.

Regarding Ethiopia : during their colonial wars ( attempts by various countries to colonize them unsuccessfully),
their country received massive amount of pesticides/chemicals so as to make their land barren, thus create famine, thus get their Emperor to abdicate and get their country colonized. Glad that after decades, they have managed to handle the consequences of these land pollutions.

Regarding Middle East : ISIS is indeed a Western creation. Started under Bush so as to break Middle East countries in tiny countries. But obviously, our mass media brainwash people to believe our politicians would never do something like that, not alone think of such devious things.

Is Islam the problem? MAY be not. May be the Muslims are themselves the problems :
- most have NEVER read their own Coran fully; but just rely on hearsay
- most have in effect NEVER done a fast, though they pretend to. I challenged one Muslim to
fully fast just 3 days "properly" : when it came to discuss, what were the temptations during a "real" fasting,
hiding to try to eat at night came up. When asked if that is how so-called 'Muslims' do fasting, a deafening silence was the answer. I did not push it to ask in what ways 'Muslims' behaviors would be different if they actually did a real fasting.

In the same vein, MANY people claim to be 'Christians' ( I am not even starting with the so fakers in 'Catholicism') :
- do ask them to bath people's feet, as Jesus-Christ did as an example for them to follow, and see how many are willing to really imitate Jesus-Christ.

Islam, nor Christianity is at fault : it is the fake 'believers' who like posing as 'Muslims' or 'Christians' and ruin it for the real one.

You may want to think about laying off the pepperoni pizzas after 11:00 at night and see if that helps.

They won't blame the real culprits - the extremists.
Poor saps think it is the will of God.
Not my God boys. He says go in peace bruv.

I am glad your God says go in peace, because during Europe's Reformation and Counter Reformation Era, close to two thirds of the Christian population of Europe was slaughtered by other Christians!

I guess, there is no end when it comes to religion hypocrisy !!

Wow; look @ France poll on that screen..................................

Yeh, wow indeed. That number is really low for France. I am pretty sure that Macron will get that up.

You have to have an IQ of a Monkey to believe that garbage!!

And how about the female Muslim terrorists? Do they get 1,000 gigolo's?

LOL NO NOT gigolos, VIRGIN BOYS!!! Gigolos are the equivalent of female prostitutes. The male terrorists get 1000 virgins (presumably girls) so the equivalent of that for female terrorists are virgin boys. There is gender equality in Heaven there even though there might be none on earth.

I don't know whether the % was so high.

The killing included also among/in-between/within reformation believers of various denominations that believed the same bible, however with different interpretations including diverse methods of baptism.

Estimates of the Number Killed by the Papacy in the Middle Ages

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/estimates.doc

These population figures may actually underestimate the death toll by a significant factor. If someone is killed who is past child bearing age, his death will likely have only a temporary effect on the population. Someone who is killed after having half of their children will have half of the long term effect on the population as someone who is killed before having any of their children, on the average. Therefore, the total death toll could easily be double that indicated above. Furthermore, the possessions of those who die will be redistributed among those who remain, which will tend to cause the population to grow somewhat faster than normal. In addition, the base figure for population growth could easily have been taken as 50 percent or higher instead of the values given above. This is especially true because of many millions, perhaps 45 million, killed in Europe in the Counter-Reformation after 1517 and before 1700. Therefore the population figures permit, and even invite, the conclusion that the death toll due to persecution in the Middle Ages is astronomical, and many times larger than 50 million.

It's getting complicated now. What is the notional equivalent of goats vis a vis young boys for those who do not like women but want to get their reward. Allah is down with the young boys and goats right? Didn't want you to think that I was getting into anything perverted.
