it is very simple, you, BW, by justifying Islamic teachings, as currently practiced by the majority of Muslim are against women's rights and gay rights and general human rights, That is your choice, but I choose to call it for what it is and use my voice to point out injustices like this even if it means I have to be called a bigot once in a while.
this argument that because .1 percent of Christians may do something bad that it is somehow the same as 80% of Muslims believing a woman should be stoned to death for adultery is a simple false equivalency, it is a standard practice of stupid liberals.
aparent wrote:this isn't the same study but it has some pretty shocking results, in some countries as many as 89% of muslims favor stoning as a punishment for adultery. So that should be enough evidence to get rid of this "small minority" BS. LARGE SWATHS OF MUSLIMS believe in this. This is not a fringe Christian group representing .001 percent of America disrupting funerals and calling for "death to fags'....this is 89% of an entire country saying a human being should be stoned to death for adultery.

Speaking of stereotypes, you assumed that this is based on bigotry and it is not, this is not cultural, this is a firm belief that a doctrine that teaches the things that Islam does is simply wrong. So yes, I have read enough of the beliefs of the religion, looked at enough studies, seen enough carnage to be comfortable that I have given a fair shake to Islam. I spent most of my life believing all religions are equal and that Islam is misunderstood, but time and again something horrific happens and the perpetrators are muslim.
So you can compare it to the Spanish inquisition, that is actually pretty accurate, but that was what 500 years ago? Why has Christianity moved past the "killing for religion" phase and Islam is still mired in it? I think it is because the TEACHINGS of Christ and the TEACHINGS of Mohammed are two entirely different things.
so you want studies, there are two major ones I read when I looked into this...one if from the PEW research center..

I forget the other one but i will try to find it, it had polls of world wide muslims and asked specific questions about beliefs on stoning, beheading etc and the results were frightening.
