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

"Superior" by whose standards? The very word "argument" is usually the prelude for physical fight. No religion ever spread among continents with mere words.

By superior arguments and philosophy.
A group united by common purposes will always be superior to a chaotic self seeking rabble.
 
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.




Here are the numbers:

Why different ways of baptism by different Christian beliefs/denominations? Here is one possibility.

This is one of the earliest known images of the plague. Drawn in 1349, during the time of the Black Death, it shows people carrying coffins of those who died of the illness in Tournai, a city in what is now Belgium.

Sprinkling of water would be much safer to avoid risk for baptism of seriously sick/near-death person.

This image in a 14th-century encyclopedia called the Omne Bonum shows a priest giving instructions to people with leprosy. The British Library mislabeled the image as depicting people with the plague.

my 2 cents!
 
Did you know the Virgin Mary is also an Islamic Saint ?
The only woman mentioned in the Koran.


Yeh, sorta. I think technically she is revered or venerated as opposed to being a saint because the muslims don't have saints and - her alleged son Jesus is a prophet in Islam. Mary is not a prophet.

It's complicated. If someone wants to get persnickety they could argue that the Sufi's are muslims and they have saints. It's fine with me, except not all sufi's are islamic and the other muslim sects treat them as heretics. They are to Islam as Unitarians are to Christianity.

I would like to say that it is minor point and not something that someone would get all worked up about and strap a suicide vest on and go out do something foolish but- unfortunately- it is. I would not want to be the one that tells a Wahabi muslim that Mary is a Saint.

Tricky world out there. Some people need to chill out.
 

Indian court rules against Muslim law
August 22, 2017

http://www.news.com.au/world/breaki...t/news-story/1b2acc716564223f0fcb0fee55e03031

India's Supreme Court has ruled a controversial Muslim quick divorce law "unconstitutional", a landmark victory for Muslim women who had long argued that it violated their right to equality.

The law allows Muslim men to divorce their wives simply by uttering the word "talaq" three times. Muslim women say they have been left destitute by husbands divorcing them through "triple talaq", including by Skype and WhatsApp.

Three of the five judges hearing a case questioning the legality of the law ruled it was unconstitutional, effectively ending its legal practice.
 
"Breaking" from Renaix, Belgium: Children 3 to 6 showing some signs...and threatening classmates of behead. One saying she's already married to a future husband in Morroco.
Looks like main course still ahead folks.

"signes de "radicalisation" islamiste observés par des enseignants chez… des enfants de classes maternelles. Une première chez des élèves de cette tranche d’âge (3-6 ans).

Menaces de mort et gestes d’égorgement

Un rapport interne à l’école, rédigé par un médecin, fait, en effet, état de comportements problématiques chez certains de ces bambins.

Lesquels ? On en aurait vu réciter des versets du Coran pendant la récréation, pratiquer l’absentéisme scolaire le vendredi pour des raisons religieuses, refuser de donner la main aux enseignants ou à leurs camarades ou encore de se mettre en rang à côté d’un enfant d’une autre confession. Une élève aurait dit avoir déjà un futur mari qui vivait au Maroc.

Il est aussi question de… menaces de mort à l’encontre de "non-croyants", d’enfants traités de "cochons" ou de gestes imitant un égorgement." La Libre.Be
 
I was glad to see a group of about 30 Muslims demonstrating against violence at the site of the latest massacre and in support of the people killed.

Let's keep religion out of the Law Courts.
Its followers have already committed millions of murders and other crimes in the name of their God.
