Thank you. I'm really sick of Islamaphobia. It's like a cancer.

You are correct. Christianity is no different. I linked a screenshot just now.

@Clare : Well, it came out of the Xian buybull.

The Quran is based on the same Abrahamic tenets as Judaism, and its offshoot, Christianity. All Abrahamic religions are disgusting.

@Petter Very true, but when we talk about Christianity and Judaism, we don't divert to Islam. Liberals/atheists need to stop doing it vice versa.

@TheDarkNolanite Who is the "we"?
I personally lump every monotheistic faith into the same category.

Sad isn't it?

hate of what ... Facebook?

lol!

And I for one am glad that "American standards of morality" are not applied to anywhere except America!

I agree To much ignorance for one country to handle It'll take eons to educate the opressive parts of the world

@DonnaCieslak I wouldn't call the Chinese ignorant. All Christians practice ritualistic cannibalism. I would say that we (US) has as far to go as the rest of the countries on the planet, though I'd rather live here.

People confuse culture with religion. People confuse extremism with standard beliefs.

If there is a particular culture that has a particular religion, then you want to say the culture is totally separate from the religion per se. So lets go with the book I read on Johann Cornies where it briefly mentions that in the year 1845, a young Hutterite girl in Southern Russia ran away from her colony because she was being compelled to marry a much older man without her consent. Then from there you might make the logical academic argument that no where in the Bible can Jesus actually be quoted as ever having condoned any form of underage, forced marriage, nor was he ever an advocate of any type of conjugal servitude or non consensual wedding night involving marital rape. The bible doesn't actually say anything that directly justifies non consenting forced intimate relations between much older perverts and crying, frightened teen girls. So this may be an example of a bad cultural practice of which there are many. The next question becomes, can you separate the people from the text in other situations, Lets consider the "map" of bad cultural practices and think about the geographic map of where bad cultural practices are taking place or have taken place, and consider what is the predominant religion of that particular region and think about the historical time line and the map of where in the world where in the world these cultural practices take place. Let us consider the mob execution by lapidation and "stoning" of women in the streets in Mogadishu, FGM circumcision barbers in Egypt, gauvage style forced feeding of girls in Mauritania, hand cutting for theft in Syria, family honor killings in Pakistan, underage marriage in Mali, selling girls for bride price in Malawi, the guardianship program of Saudi Arabia that prevents an adult woman from seeking medical care without guardian consent,Turkish circumcision ceremonies with crying frightened seven to eleven year old boys being pinned down physically with no anesthetic, the spanish inquisition, the Salem witch trials, Chinese foot binding, Lip plated Mursi women, Head hunters of Borneo, Sati in India, acid throwing attacks by spurned and jilted suitors in bangladesh, Aztec human sacrifices in pre columbian Mesoamarica, Albino's hunted for body parts in Tanzania, infanticides and gender selective abortions in Rajasthan, FLDS underage plural marriages. Fully 1/3 to 1/2 of these brutalities which are still actively going on today, in a current time frame in the modern age over lies the map of the Islamic world. Its the same map, and the same people. For those of you that wrote to say Islam doesn't support the cultural practice are trying to have a "gotcha" moment and catch me on a small technicality, but to me its all the same person from the same future with the islamic creed who is doing the bad deed. Surely there are bad practices going on in the modern age that need to be stopped and I am not going to shut up just because someone name calls me a whatever kind of something or other "phobe" for mentioning how bad this is. Name calling is a tool employed by intellectually weak people who ran out of valid well supported arguments. In response I want to say that you liberals are virtue signaling how wonderfully tolerant you are and wheel you are gaining social approval for how wonderfully tolerant you are, somewhere in the world a clitoral ablation is going unmentioned, somewhere in the world today a rape victim is incarcerated, somewhere in the world dowry harassment continues, and a girl is sleeping in a menstrual hut, or taken out of school early because the cost to educate a girl isn't worthwhile. Somewhere today, an illiterate afghan woman is being beaten because her ankle was seen as she was stepping out of a taxi wearing a burqua. I particularly disagree with tolerant liberals that your virtue signaling is really all that virtuous. To me "virtue signaling" is just a farcical stage show and a phony depiction of feigned virtue, but where is the actual virtue. In my book, you have no actual virtue if you lack courage to call people out for bad practices and make a stand against human rights violations. You need to say loudly that these things are wrong. You need to add your voice and participate in calling people out when they do these things. To sit there and claim that Islam has nothing to do with any sort bad cultural practices is a denial based coping routine that you robotically swing into because it resolves your cognitive dissonance of how you can accept the unacceptable and still be "virtuous" and "tolerant" while you deliberately ignore socially acceptable wife beating in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I propose you people who are saying the Q'aran forbids infanticide should do a google search of "Rajasthan Infanticide" and just see what pops up, if you think the Muslim religion is being altered for particular cultures, with certain aspects selectively followed and other tenets of the religion ignored and overlooked...

It’s a shocking misrepresentation, more like.
