Meh, I'm as against Christianity as anyone, but it as at least somewhat adapted to modern times, and there are a lot of other positives to it. Its just a generally 'nicer' religion than Islam.

Modern times have been adapted to/by Christianity, though.

My argument here is that islamic culture is still in a barbaric mindset of circa 1500 ad, but christianity has toned it down immensely since then.

i mean they still fucking stone people

renton, your problem here is that you're generalising far too much and it's coming across badly. There are muslims these days who stone people to death, and there are muslims who are very peaceful. There are christians these days who burn witches (look towards Kenya), and there are christians who are very peaceful.

Some turban wearers are islamic, some are sikh.. Did you know that in 1021 the islamic world developed a scientific method very similar to the one currently used?

What i'm getting at is that the issue at hand is always much more complex than it appears and has many more historic, economic and local variables. Failing to take any of these into account means that, even though many of your points are fine (apart from the turban one which is silly hysterical xenophobia at its best), you still come across as pretty ignorant.

wuf, while what you're saying about Al-Qaeda's recruitment is certainly valid for middle east conflicts, many of the 9/11 attackers were educated and well-off students who had studied overseas, and 3/4 of the London bombers were born and bred in the UK, with the fourth having moved to the UK from Jamaica at the age of 5.

whoa whoa whoa

Entire modern developed countries stone women for adultery, and they do so because their judicial systems are based WORD FOR WORD on Islamic Law. How am I over-generalizing?

I mean sure I'm lumping here some, but it isn't at all comparable to the christian witch burning example. There's no nation with 100 million people that still torches witches as a state initiative.

What I'm saying is that you're drawing erroneous conclusions. Some muslim countries are as bad as you say, but more muslim countries aren't.

Sharia law is fucking horrendous and is no doubt one of the most awful, backwards systems still in active existence, but your argument of "islamic culture is still in a barbaric mindset of circa 1500 ad," comes across as if you're drawing a circle around 1.5bn people and saying they're all backwards, violent and barbaric, which certainly isn't the case.

For the record, I'm not representing your argument as the above, but I'm saying that I've seen no sign of distinguishment between muslims, arabs, terrorists and peaceable people. And that's why I'm accusing you of generalisation.

May as well open up a taliban store in the London underground selling fun, replica merchandise of bombs. It's not a problem, because if your against it, your racist!

I support this as long as they're labeled US/UK/Russia replicas and the store is called "We use these to murder, rape, and torture poor people in a country you can't pronounce, you stupid fucking cunt who, instead of making the world a better place by jumping off the nearest cliff, you decide to breed and vote"

This is literally the most retarded post I've read on FTR this year. At least the porn spammer bots have the excuse of being artificial intelligence.
