Islam is an evil religion

Thank you. Now, I know that the five pillars are not morally wrong. I am perfectly aware of that. However, the rest is a little... interesting. ~You also must accept that my opponent would not decry his own religion as immoral, and yet, many people in the bible to morally reprehensible things. Because of this, you cannot judge morality by the acts of the "prophets" whose stories are told in the holy books.~ Okay. Forget about my argument of Muhammad's actions. I agree with you perfectly on this one. Moving on. ~Every religion has these parts, look to Christianity. We have many "laws" set out in Leviticus that even the Catholics no longer follow. For example: [A very long list of Jewish laws (notice Jewish, not Christian)]~ Okay. First of all, as a Christian, I suppose you know that when Jesus came, these laws were immediately out-dated. There are tens of passages in the OT and NT which prove that the laws in the Old (notice the word *old*) Testament are not valid anymore to Christians. Jews follow these rules, less or more. We as Christians, however, don't obey the Jewish law. We follow the example and teachings of Jesus. To summarize: Any law in the OT is not followed by Christians. Rules (notice the word rule, not law) in the NT are followed, more or less. If you can find a passage like that in the NT, not the OT, I will agree with you. Until then... ~1.)you cannot look only to laws, but to actions.~ Okay. I would like to make this point even clearer. We are NOT debating about Muslims, but about ISLAM. Not the believers, but the religion itself. To phrase it otherwise: This argument is not valid because we are not debating about Islam. ~Also, if you look to the Old Testament, you will see hundreds of other laws and admissions that we now look on as immoral.~ As I just said, these laws are only followed by Jews. Not by Christians. The laws in the Qu'ran, however, are in fact followed by Muslims. ~The Qu'ran Is like the bible, there were parts written at different times. Because of this, like the bible, you can end up with different interpretations of what God/Allah wants.~ Well, you see, The Bible was written during many millenniums. The Qu'ran was written by the followers of Muhammad. The Qu'ran has some parts directly stolen from OT/NT, but mostly it is a book of its own. The Qu'ran was written during a hundred or so years by the Arabs who had listened to Muhammad. ~1.According to the Bible, God is loving 2.According to the Bible, instead of trying to convert the world, he destroyed it in a massive flood. Also, according to the bible, He ordered the murder of someone who BELIEVED IN HIM, but, when angered used his name in vain. 3. Am I the only one who notices a slight problem here? (Heh... =P )~ OT. ~As I stated before, the 5 pillars are still seen as requirements, while, the laws against women, and unbelievers are empirically NOT.~ When is the last time you turned on the television and looked at the news? Just yesterday, I heard on the news that a Muslim man had beheaded his wife because she wanted a divorce. Same happened to another couple who had agreed to show the "peaceful" side of Islam. His wife wants a divorce and off goes her head. Kind of strange. Look at Saudi-Arabia. There the Shari'ah law is the only law. I can send you a video that show the executioners of the GOVERMENT killing people with a sword and cutting off the hand of a women. I can also show you a video where an EIGHT year old boy in Iran stole bread and was caught. The verdict, according to Shari'ah: His hand was cut off using a car. They drove a car over his arm. He is a small and helpless child! And Islam is a religion of peace and justice? In a Muslim country, a woman was stoned and slashed with a whip to death because she had committed adultery. The verdict according to Shari'ah: Like I said, she was given many slashes and was later stoned to death. I have a video of that, too. According to the Qu'ran, it is completely admissible for a man to beat up his wife as much as he wants when he wants, provided that: 1) No blood is spilt. 2) No bones are crushed. If a man chooses to do this in a Muslim country, it is impossible for her to get a divorce or sue his husband. Once a woman was raped and beaten up. The judgment according to Shari'ah: The man got away with no punishment and the woman was given 80 slashes. She filed a complaint about the verdict. The result according to Shari'ah: 200 slashes. I have a video of that, too. In a Muslim country, two gay teenagers were hanged publicly. I have pictures and a video to prove it. Theo van Goch makes a ten minute film "Submission" that tells the story of a woman who is beaten by her husband. He received death threats, and soon was shot and stabbed to death. The Danish Cartoons. Hundreds of thousands of outraged Muslims were threatening to: - Nuke the whole western world. What they did: - Beheaded schoolchildren - Bombed embassies - Killed many people Prior to that, Muslims: - Beheaded three teenage girls because their heads were not covered, no Muslim outrage. - Officials didin't let schoolgirls out of a burning building because their faces were showing, no Muslim outrage. - Muslims fly airplanes into skyscrapers, killing thousands of Americans, no Muslims outrage. - Muslims bomb schools in Israel with rocket propelled granades, no Muslims outrage. - Muslims murder teachers in Iraq, no Muslims outrage. - Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons, no Muslims outrage. And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, when Danish newspapers publish a cartoon of Muhammad, Muslims get O-U-T-R-A-G-E-D. Okay, sorry. I got a little off-topic. Forget about the couple of rows above. Back to Islam. Some videos to back up my points. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... -Wife beatings in Islam http://www.truthtube.tv... -The 8 yr. old boy who was caught stealing bread in Iran ~As I stated before, the 5 pillars are still seen as requirements, while, the laws against women, and unbelievers are empirically NOT.~ 1) They are. 2) We're not debating about Muslims, but about Islam. The Shari'ah law, which is based on the teachings of Muhammad, tells everything there needs to be said about the cruel laws in the Qu'ran.
