@JoeChick O.K. I do not know of any religion that is not myth, I am ready to learn.

I guess we can put you down as a no?

@Sticks48 u got that right sir .

american muslims don't do that any more than french christians picket military funerals. i'm not saying religion isn't ridiculous; i'm saying that any of them can be abused, and that goes for islam too, but to slam all muslims not for believing in a god but for doing things that only some muslims do is ridiculous too.

@Pralina1 I kind of picked up on that.

@genessa I understand what u said . And u r right . But for me , there are 2 ways to support something horrible .

1. by agreeing with and doing same
2. by silence and not taking position .

According to Islam pedophilia is not a sin . Is promoted . Is part of the holy package . The reason most American Muslims are not , like I know ?, not promoting or engage to it , is bcz law and regulations ? I have work side by side w plenty the last 20 yrs . My opinions are formed . They can joint hands w their Christian cousins and any other religious asshole as far as I care and can all jump over the cliff . No tears here .
This is just me . I am not right . But it's how I feel.

Total side note: Walked into a storeroom at work yesterday and saw a Muslim man kneeling on their little carpet praying away. Had a really big struggle not mentioning he was facing 90 degrees away from Mecca ?

@Pralina1 you have a right to your feelings, and you are right that you are not right -- not about your feelings of course (you can feel as you do, of course) but about your facts. islam itself doesn't encourage pedophilia. some muslims do. maybe even a whole subculture full of muslims. but it's not part of islam. it has a big problem: it's a religion. but you can't pin on it what it doesn't actually encompass. in missouri, a whole bunch of christians are pedophiles? does the christian bible say that's okay? i wouldn't know; i've never been christian (or muslim). i suspect not. so i can hate THOSE christians for being pedophiles, and i can hate those certain muslims for being pedophiles, but i cannot correctly say that either christianity or islam promotes pedophilia. i can say it... and i can say the moon is made of green cheese... but i'd be wrong both times.

@genessa I guess u r not aware that the prophet , ACCORDING TO Q was married to a 7 yr old girl . Or that it encourages men to marry girls b4 their period starting . His bride died at age of 18.

@Pralina1 i'd like to see the chapter and verse that says the latter.

g

@genessa i will like to mention that holy Mary my eye was 14? And Joseph 60 plus . Later she had his kids . I guess virgin birth was only reserved for Jesus boy . And those are the big stars . The supporting actors are hideous as well .

@Pralina1 well, christianity has a shitload of problems lol. so does islam. but i don't know how old mary was. i have not read much of the christian bible. it isn't all that interesting. i haven't even read all of torah. it has its moments (as fiction of course).

g

@genessa I haven't been a Christian or a Muslim . However , I give two rats behinds supporting neither and whatever they represent . I am sure not all Catholics raping children . But I haven't seen them yet marching to Vatican and burning the place down to the ground . And to me , that's supporting a crime . If u can't burn it down , then u can at the very least exit the tribe . Oh no ! They are still there and pope is the man . Well . Not for me .

@Pralina1 i don't SUPPORT them. i just want to be fair and not say stuff about them unless it's true. there's plenty of bad stuff that IS true without expanding it to make some practices part of the religion. and i don't think burning the vatican is a good solution. yes, catholics should demand justice (and an end to the rapes).

g

@genessa u r right . And I enjoyed talking w u btw . I studied world religions twice . First time as an idiot who needed the credit for my degree , the second time at my leisure and pleasure . I should had study " hot head and how to zip lip !!?Thank u for your time and insight , and u r right , there are good humans everywhere , some more than others .

@Pralina1 i wish you the best of mornings (or whatever time it is where you are) )

g

@genessa ...

@Pralina1 ha sorry that doesn't say what the description says it says. it says WOMEN. anyone can interpret a verse this way or that. i cannot see in the verse what the introduction says is about pedophila. that's a really weird interpretation. the verse itself does not say that at ALL, and that's even assuming it's a decent translation (i have noticed that the christian old testaments tend not to be decent translations of torah either).

g

Dear , I can post here 100 pictures about it . U ll have to search for your self I think .

@genessa [isam.org.tr]

@Pralina1 isam? they can't spell it right and they're an authority? anyway i've been up all night and have to go to bed now )

Harvard university ? @genessa

I once had some Muslim neighbors who were ethnic Albanians and they were absolutely great people and good neighbors in every way.

Some of those things that so grate on our sensibilities come from the harsh desert code of the Middle East and were social mores before the time of Mohamed. Those same social mores are seen in the Bible.

Not all Muslims are the same, but as for me, I will respect all of them.
