Islam is evil and should be banned worldwide.

Pro lacks a certain fundamental understand of Islam. "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for god. It is the same god that Abraham believed in, and the same god that all Christians believe in. "Violence in the Quran, [Historian Philip Jenkins] and others say, is largely a defense against attack."'"Much to my surprise, the Islamic scriptures in the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible." -Historian Philip Jenkins"By the standards of the time, which is the 7th century A.D., the laws of war that are laid down by the Quran are actually reasonably humane," he says. "Then we turn to the Bible, and we actually find something that is for many people a real surprise. There is a specific kind of warfare laid down in the Bible which we can only call genocide." -Historian Philip Jenkins(http://www.npr.org...)Here is a few examples of what Jenkins is talking about. "And utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." -Book of 1 Samuel, when God instructs King Saul to attack the Amalekites"But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also." Genesis 38 when Onan is killed for ejaculating on the flood instead of in his sister-in-law"Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Psalm 137There are 109 verses in the bible that relate to violence? You've got me there! I am just kidding however, as there are 1,318 verses in the bible that relate to violence. (http://skepticsannotatedbible.com...)As far as I can tell, Christianity is much more evil than Islam. Now either we are considering both evil, or neither of them to be evil. I argue that neither are evil. Both the bible and the Qur'an were written in a very different time from now. The culture was different, and things that now have a scientific explanation were listed under the "God made dis" section of each one. Pro seems to be under the pretense that banning things gets rid of them. Let me list a couple examples of bans that did not work out as planned...Alcohol prohibition in the United States: http://www.pbs.org...Christianity in the Roman Empire: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...Ban on drugs: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com...Ban on homosexuality in the bible: http://www.theguardian.com...I think I've made it clear that bans don't work. By the way, good luck trying to enforce a ban on 1.6 Billion people, or if Pro would rather, 22.74% of all humans. (http://en.wikipedia.org...)I'd like to hear pro elaborate on who will be enforcing this ban. Will it be Muslims? Of course not. Good luck invading them and overthrowing their government. Morale of invading soldiers would be non-existent, and morale of Muslim troops would be higher than ever. Also, if you want to keep Islam weak, why would you give the Sunni and the Shiite a common enemy? You could potentially stabilize the middle east, and this would really screw over an attempt to ban these people's livelihoods. I argue that no matter how evil some think Islam may be, you cannot ban an idea. You cannot ban somebody's thoughts of how they came into existence. You cannot ban somebody's hopes for the future.
