How is this helpful? Why do you think Christianity has reformed itself? Maybe, just maybe, because of introspection and a little bit of criticism?

Enough of this bizarre equivalency with hypothetical time-traveling religions. People need to look at the Islam of TODAY. And sure, you can criticize Christianity too (I have and heck even some Christians do) but this is a thread about Islam and I don't see the same subjugation of women that I do in Christianity.

Exactly.

LOL You put a bunch of atheist progressives in the same environment and they'll all starve as they attempt to demand their entitlements.

We need not stop criticizing Christianity in this or any other thread in order to criticize Islam. When it comes to religions there's plenty of room for all kinds of criticism. It's wrong to stifle any of it.

Another apologist helping Islam stay in the dark ages by providing it with cover.

Sounds good, except the people who make statements like this never actually criticize Islam.

Sadly certain people like to take the Christian stance on gay marriage and use it to paint Christians as being similar to Muslims while ignoring the fact that Christians only want to ban gay marriage while Muslims have a nasty habit of executing people for being gay.

This thread is about Islam. I fail to see the problem with keeping it on topic. In any case, with respect, Christianity not allowing gays to marry is nowhere close to the malevolence of treatment that most of Islam gives women.

I would criticize Christians if they were stoning people for being raped or waging war on non-Christians.

As for Christians and gay marriage, I really don't care anymore.

I don't care about keeping it on topic.. and unless a moderator gets involved it's stupid to complain about others not being on topic.

Who said anything about gay marriage? I sure didn't.

I like that guy. He's right on the issues.

Islam is a trash religion. It's based on hate, fear and death. Oh, yes, rapped in ignorance.

Why do you call him that?

t

Because people used to call Bush a post turtle, even made lots of funny pictures with him up on the post with his long neck and turtle shell, now somehow Obama is Bush. Go figure, I can see how he could get them confused though. Not very original.
