Ah yes the one true teachings of the one true Prophet. And even more unprovable today than when first committed to paper 760 years after? Even so used to either mask or justify all manner of Godless behavior having the claimed seal of divine Authority.

We know this because, Men who claimed to know the mind of God have testified with hand placed on "Holy Book" that it is indisputably so!?

And questioning that statement, outright blasphemy and deserving of ritual beheading? An excellent way to still all questioning and dissent or instil blind obedience to self proclaimed Authority figures?

Toni and Mikk show they are either totally ignorant and deceitful when it comes to Christianity. How could they possibly have any discernment when it comes to Islam? Then again our PM again showed his total ignorance last night on the news.

runner you are the most ignorant and deceitful person here if we go by your post history. Never once have you offered anything more than insults and platitudes. You have never explained your beliefs. You have never engaged in debate. You have never shown you understand theology, the bible, anything.
What exactly are you runner.
Im leaning towards troll.

With due respect to the writer, 90 of your assertion on this topic either false or twisted. It is this kind of pen which sows the seeds of hatred and bigotry. Obsession with negativity will only breed gloom and division between communities.
Salam alaikum (peace be on you) a common phrase of followers of Islam for you.

One of the major reasons why the Left is reluctant to criticise Islam is because they see that Islamic countries are being systemically destroyed by Western foreign policy.

Islamic peoples are being violently forced from the countries of their birth, and their culture that is thousands of years old, because US-led proxy wars have left their countries no longer fit to live in.

The irony is that it is mostly secular, progressive Islamic countries that have been targeted for regime change - Iraq, Libya and now Syria - while the most fundamentalist, regressive Islamic regimes such as Saudi Arabia and, to a lesser extent, Jordan are given full Western support. Now the Houthi rebels in Yemen are the latest Islamic fundamentalists to receive US funding via Saudi Arabia. (Expect many Yemeni refugees to flock to our shores very soon.)

Even Afghanistan, deemed to be one of the most fundamentalist Islamic countries on earth, was once a secular-leftist regime that gave women equal rights and initiated long overdue land-reform. However, US foreign policy decided to finance and train the fundamentalist Islamic Mujahadeen (later morphed into the Taliban) to overthrow the regime as part of its Cold War against the Soviet Union. Now, after thirty+ years of war, Afghanistan is now (like Iraq and Libya) a complete Islamic-fundamentalist mess.

If you don't like Muslims flowing into our countries, then start questioning why they are coming here in their hundreds of thousands. They are not here to spread their Mohammadist 'violent' religion. They are here because of basic necessity and survival.

If the West had left Islamic countries alone, then they would have gone through their own 'Enlightenment' and progressed into the modern world. Unfortunately, that Enlightenment proved too 'leftist' for US capitalist interests.
