yes of course from a humanist point of view religion should never be used to divide people into groups. but the reality is that Islam, as it appears today, is clearly politicized and used as a power vehicle.

sadly, in most places it is; but then it doesn't mean all muslims are bad ppl - I'm surrounded by some of the kindest humans and they are Muslims, but I see them as living humans being instead of muslims. 👀

Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous.

Muslims have trouble coexisting peacefully with non Muslims.

Muslim countries don’t have a reputation for tolerance and diversity

The religion is about converting the heathens. If they don’t convert, kill the men, rape the women

"Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous"

One can say the exact same thing about foreign policy advisers in Washington or Jerusalem, the evil of all leaders around the world says nothing about the people living in these countries who are in fact the first victims

Fair point

Can Muslims coexist with the West? History has shown us the answer: big fat no

that's not what i said. my point is to show quite clearly that christian islamic or jewish or even atheists cannot be merged into a multicultural paradise. this is a misconception that is turning into a catastrophe before our very eyes

I guess multi-respect is the key, ppl used to respect others' religions during the Ottoman time, and even till now, I'm still around Christian and Muslim friends here, but yeah, politically wise, they don't want you to see this is possible, ppl living harmony with each other, and it's been like this for centuries.

If you start to understand monotheistic religions as anger storage media, then the whole thing becomes obvious, which is why we are repeatedly confronted with extreme discharges of aggression, frustration and resentment.

Why do we have to defend "christianity" (whatever that means) then? Simply as a reaction to wokeness? What does it bring to the table?

i do not believe that any of the old religions can be the answer to wokeism, which is nothing other than the rebirth of communism. this is a battle that we can only fight as individuals, resisting any form of symbol adaptation

And then you add missionaries and pressure to convert… result is conflict and violence

We saw this after the printing press and reformation. 100 years of religious wars

Reading and studying the vita of Mohammed would be important for any muslim. But that's sth. they refuse.
