what i am trying to say is that there really aren't any peaceful muslims. Its like saying that something like a meat-eating vegetarian exists.
Millions of Muslims in the US (and over a billion around the world) prove you wrong.
It's the sort of bigotry you're posting that's the fuel for a lot of violence.
Converting people of other faiths to Islam is an integral part of their religion. By force, fear, humiliation, any means necessary.
You appear not to be familiar with world history - Islam is not the only religion that description fits.
Again, very large numbers of Muslims do not fit your description.
I think that there are a number of Muslim societies that are intolerant of others, and too much in favor of theocracies and not in favor of religion. There are also Muslim countries where other religions have more freedom, and countries with many Muslims, including the US, where there is no problem with this issue. Again Islam isn't the only religion with some issues around this in some places.
Over here in my country these days there are a lot of Hindus coming from Pakistan. They come on Visas, and once they cross the border, they refuse to go back. Why, you ask? Here's why-
Pakistan is not the same as all Muslims. And again, it's not the only religion or society with issues.
Perhaps you would like to try to go live in one of the Israeli settlements as a Muslim?
Yesterday i was watching a news item on the television. They interviewed these Hindus refugees.. and they narrated their plight.. how they continuously had to live in a state of fear.. how the girls were carried away and raped.. then forcefully converted to islam. How the pakistani authorities demolished Hindu temples and homes of Hindu folk in the name of development. How their homes were showered with stones, and yet when they complained to the police, they were shoo'ed away.
And in Vietnam, under the Catholic leader Diem, backed by the US, the government mistreated Buddhists so badly some burned themselves in protest - with the President's wife responding with a laugh that she liked a good barbecue. There are horrors. You're right to point the horrors out, not to say all members are doing them.
Over here in India, Muslims enjoy every right, in someplaces even more than the native Hindus.
That sounds suspiciously like some Americans who complain that 'criminals get more rights than citizens' or 'gays get special rights' or 'blacks get special rights' and so on.
Now, now, i am not promoting discrimination on the basis of religion, but a kid whose parents earn 5 lakh rupees (100k USD approx) can claim reservation in the countries engineering colleges, whereas another kid whose parents struggle to earn bread cannot. Why, because the first kid is a muslim. These people have reservations in govt. jobs, colleges, even while promotion. Yet they demand more. They start rioting at the slightest whim. They want sharia laws to be applied in India, a land that isn't theirs' to begin with.
Are they overrepresented in those areas? If so, then I might share your concern if they're somehow corruptly taking 'more than their share'. Somehow I doubt they are overrepresented. On the one hand, every citizen of a place has a right to advocate what they believe in. If 90% of Americans wanted Sharia law, democracy says we'd pass it. From what I understand of it, I'm quite against it and support you in opposing it - but people advoating it, while we disagree with them, do have a right to their opinions.
Also, remember that beheading of that british soldier. If you're waiving it off as a crime of passion, don't make that mistake. The quran specifically orders its followers to behead nonbelievers.
That explains the millions of Muslims in the US and UK who are behading non-Muslims.
Oh, wait.
Not every passage in the Koran or Chritianity is followed today, you can find all kinds of things that seem barbaric now. It's not fair to just cherry pick one and ignore how it actually is or isn't followed. You don't need the Koran to explain why members of a group would seek revenge for violence to their group. Some of our group would almost certainly be looking for revenge is the same were done to us.
etnic cleansing for muslims is like going to church for a christian.
That's false extremie hate speech. It reminds me more than anything of the Nazis preaching about how Jews were out to destroy them and had to be destroyed first.
Your hate is the cause of increasing hate that creates problems and violence in a cycle.
We can point at some Muslims preaching hate, and they can point at you preaching hate.
