>islamophobia Not only is this a bullshit term, it's untrue. Saying Islamic values are at odds with American way of life is a FACT. The entire structure of America is wrong according to Islam.

Quote from: Winy on December 03, 2015, 06:27:31 PMThat's not how I view it. I literally just said I hate religion.That's a cop out though. You'll criticize Christianity to death but you won't criticize Islam when it's far harsher to live under than Christianity.
That's not how I view it. I literally just said I hate religion.
"Of course, it is important to note that even though there was no broad public-opinion backlash in France or the U.S., violence against Muslims increased in both countries following the attacks. Among the small minority of people with extremely negative views, some may become more likely to turn to violence after such incidents.
Moreover, the view that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence among its believers has become more common over time. In March 2002, just months after 9/11, only 25% of Americans said Islam is more likely to encourage violence, but this jumped to 44% by July 2003. And the last time we asked the question, in September 2014, fully half of Americans (50%) expressed this view."
That's not bigotry, just correct.

It's no surprise the Qur'an is much shorter than the Bible, or that Islamic scholars have historically read the scripture in a way which appeals to incredibly conservative Salafists like ISIS, or that apostates like the moderate Ahmadiyyah are being killed as a result.
