    When is the worldwide muslim community going to unite and denounce the jihadists in a strong, unified voice?

    • it is scheduled to...never.ApeRobot
    • er, why should they? When are American's going to denounce half of the fundamentalist Christian nutjobs who want to lynch gays?fadein11
    • I denounce the nutjobs daily.docpoz
    • US is always apologizing for it's actions also... like blowing up that hospital accidentally in afghanstandocpoz
    • plus, the US is a nation not a religion. I would feel ok about the Vatican denouncing a terrorist attack by the KKK... even if those are protestants probably...docpoz
    • There needs to be something to quell the growing distrust that some people have for Muslims.docpoz
    • US military bombed that hospital... the muslim faith did not commit terrorism. what the fuck are going on about?
      You sound v.confused.
      fadein11
    • For example, if you went to a school and one of you gun nutjobs killed a load of innocent people, would you feel obliged to apologise because you went to thefadein11
    • same school... anyway STFU - you live in a weird country - the islamic community in the UK is constantly denouncing these actions, do some fucking research palfadein11
    • ahh fuck it. whateverdocpoz
    • learn how to read.docpoz
    • Like I said do some research - what makes you think a religion of nearly 2 billion people are unified in any shape or form... but why should innocent peoplefadein11
    • denounce the actions of a tiny amount of people who have bastardised their peaceful faith. Stop thinking you sit on the right side and read some history books.fadein11
    • Your statement supports ISIS. Absolutely absurd statement derived from a v.blinkered viewpoint.fadein11
    • i hate you and I want to kick your ass now.docpoz
    • lol - same...fadein11
    • idiot.docpoz
    • i will apologize for my shitty grammar but you have major reading comprehension issues in english.docpoz
    • So what you are saying is Islam's equivalent of the Vatican (which does not exist) should denounce jihadists... hmmm, muslims are denouncing this constantly.fadein11
    • Do not mistake a deep dislike of America and its foreign policy with support for ISIS/terrorism.fadein11
    • but you like to kick peoples ass during a debate - interesting. Laterz bro.fadein11
    • I am saying that there should be a pro-active voice of dissent concerning the actions of the jihadists from the muslim community. This is what everyone wantsdocpoz
    • i want to kick your ass because you are a disrespectful knob, punk.docpoz
    • What makes you think the islamic community do not denounce it on a daily basis? They certainly do in the UK. Sorry if I dislike the ignorance of your idea.fadein11
    • anyway I am pretty much done with this site - fucking bullshit.fadein11
    • just get out of here. and try debating without insulting people, you dick.docpoz
    • and learn how to fucking read.docpoz
    • fuck you. write a statement based on education and basic facts of the situation. You are a fucking ISIS pawn. When did I insult you?fadein11
    • fuck off.docpoz
    • Look - genuinely sorry for offending you, its a v.difficult subject I feel v.passionate about and tend to get heated. Sorry for flying off the handle. But Ifadein11
    • disliked your statement. Let's leave it there.fadein11
    • apology accepted. I understand.docpoz
    • why does the statement bother you so much?docpoz
    • If you guys read these notes again, with a clear head and from an unbiased perspective, someone clearly overreacted and misunderstood what was being said_niko
    • and it's much more effective and productive to say "I hear you but completely disagree" as opposed to "you're a fucking retard" which is what QBN arguments end_niko
    • up degrading to most if the time._niko
    • Let's make QBN great again lol_niko
    • Yep i did overreact. And some of my statements were insulting. Partly due to a missing 'r' on you. Should have been your gun nutjobs. Not you gun nutjobsfadein11
    • I knew what he was saying i just strongly disagreed with it. But i do apologise. Rereading i did sound lick a dick. But i do disagree with the sentiment behindfadein11
    • The post. It assumes innocent people are somehow responsible. And that islam has a xentral vatican style leadership. But sorry again for being a dick.fadein11
    • lick=like, xentral=central... written on phone after just waking up.fadein11

    "Getting frustrated by some people expecting racism from me, because I got blown up. Yes. A Muslim man blew me up, and I lost my leg.

    A Muslim man also lost his arm that day wearing a British Uniform.
    A Muslim medic was in the helicopter that took me from the field
    A Muslim surgeon performed the surgery that saved my life
    A Muslim Nurse was part of the team that helped me when I returned to the UK
    A Muslim Healthcare Assistant was part of the team that sorted out my day to day needs in rehabilitation when I was learning to walk
    A Muslim taxi driver gave me a free ride the first time I went for a beer with my Dad after I came home.
    A Muslim doctor offered my Dad comfort and advice in a pub, when he didnt know how to deal with my medicines and side effects.

    Contrary to that,
    A white brit spat in my girlfriends face for ‘fucking a cripple when you could have me [him]’
    A White brit pushed my wheelchair away from a lift so he could use it first.
    A White brit screamed at my Dad for parking in a disabled bay when I was in the services coming home
    (Although, alot of people helped in my recovery! I dont hate white brits either! hahaha)

    Point is, fuck off. I know who I dislike, and I know who I dont. I know who I appreciate, and I know who I dont. If you want to hate an entire race of men and women for the actions of a few dickheads feel free, but don’t push your views on me, thinking I am an easy target because one douchebag decided it was my day to die.

    Blaming all Muslims for the actions of groups like Daeshe and the Taliban, is like blaming all Christians for the actions of the KKK or Westboro Baptist Church.

    Bit late to this party, but have been wondering about the divide within Muslims themselves...
    Do you identify as Sunni or Shia, or neither? - and if so, i don't really understand the divide, which seems to me is based on a controversial election that happened centuries ago. Given that both sects believe exactly the same thing. Does it still matter now? - is there still a bloodline that exists from Mohammed?
    i'm sure it's way more complex than that. School me.

    • Just have to look at the many branches of Christianity to understand it.fadein11
    • Christians seem equally odd to me, but many have different belief systems. Shia/Sunni seems to be about an old Caliph Story...indian_pole
    • ...and didn't Ali become the 4th Caliph anyway? i don't understand the dispute.indian_pole
    • I have no idea to be honest lol. My point was Christianity broke up into different branches for similar disputes - look at Martin Luther etc.fadein11

  • robotron3k-1

    Muslims and Jews are so similar in many, many ways! From holy sites, holy days, to beliefs, to practices, how you eat, men and women dress and behave, and to believing in the same god, etc. Do you think somebody screwed up long ago and you could actually be one in the same people??

    Too much?

    This topic needs some update again.

    I see that ISIS is winning in playing with your minds.
    especially @drake-von-drake and @chukkaphob

    I quoted here, in the first page, several verses from Quran about the importance of human life. So I won't repeat those.

    On top of that you should or YOU MUST have a knowledge of history a bit. Without that you're just an empty can waiting to be filled with bullshit.
    Islamic empires, states, islamic way of life has been governing a huge part of this world since 7th century. Parts that had been majorly Christian or Jewish in the past and today.

    If Quran was teaching violence against any other religion or thought, from Balkans to India to Africa there should have been an annihilation of anything other than Islamic.

    How many muslim countries are in Balkans except Bosnia?

    Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro and Hungary(outside of balkans) were under Muslim Empire(Ottomans) rule for centuries.
    If ISIS mentality was actual Islam, shouldn't all of them have been wiped?
    Koptic Churches in Egypt, Jews in Iran, Capital of Orthodox Patriarchy in Istanbul, Hindus in Pakistan still going on right? Nobody is denying that there have been interfaith problems in these communities but mostly they live peacefully.
    I’m talking about 14 centuries of co-existence under Muslim rule. In times where it wouldn’t be imaginable for any Muslim mosques to exist in Europe there were multi-religious groups in Muslim lands.

    So Quran teaches violence is BULLSHIT. NOnSENSICAL. KIDDISH
    You won’t believe but it’s actually the opposite at least for me, for my family and other Muslims that I know.

    People who think Islam teaches violence after every ISIS attack is serving ISIS. Partnering with ISIS. Doing what ISIS wants them to do.

    Millions of muslim Turks and Kurds living in Germany. Millions of African Muslims in France, Britian or other parts of Europe. They pray, they read Quran and they live in Europe.
    ISIS wants to turn these people against their now home country.

    BY IMPLANTING THE THOUGHT THAT MUSLIMS ARE DANGEROUS.

    As an outcome, muslims in the west will be treated bad, discriminated, isolated(some already did) and eventually they will fight against their country where they immigrated to have a better life. They will see that they are not allowed to have the better, so they will say” if we can’t have it, they shouldn’t have it too”.

    This is what ISIS wants, this is how they win people. And every time you say “Muslims are dangerous, Quran is violent, Muhammed is a murderer” just like Trump in the US, or Geert Wilders in Holland, or Jorg Haider in Austria, you are helping their goal.

    Not muslim specific but why do 'minorities' self segregate? It seems to me that the government wants integration but the migrant population doesn't want to. you cant simply transplant a section of a foreign culture into another and expect harmony. For some its too 'different' which i think is the cause of a lot of tension.

    Why does a 'polish shop' have to have a sign that appears to exclude the native populace together with signs in a language that a majority dont understand, it seems provocative whether intentional or not.

    im also well aware of british ex pats doing exactly the same thing in other countries so not excluding this too.

    • It's human nature, we migrate to what feels safe and familiar. I don't like how all these hipsters dominate the coffee shops and breweries, but what can I do?formed
    • Aye, the comfort in familiarity. Being a filthy immigrant myself, I can understand how easy it is to stay within your immediate language / cultural circle.face_melter

    I can't stand any organized religion and Islam is the worst of all.

    Here are some notions in Quran. Compare it with your view of Muslim nations and other nations and societies. I don't believe in something that is "stuck at middle ages" I believe in something that is valuable today and in the future. I don't care if so called muslims or muslim nations or politicians don't practice these, I'm responsible for my own behavior.

    Patience - Mentioned over 100 times
    "But indeed whoever shows patience and forgives (the wrong done to him), surely that is a very meritorious thing, a matter of great resolution" 42 / 43

    Kindness towards non-muslims
    "God does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of your religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely God loves just people. 60 / 9

    Diversity
    "For each nation, I have prescribed a law and a way of life. If I wanted, I would have made you all a single community. But I want to test you according to what I have prescribed for each of you [and promote a competition among you.] Therefore, try to beat each other in doing good deeds. You will all return to God and then He will inform you about what your differences were all about."
    5/48

    Religious Freedom
    "There is no force in belief. The right and the wrong are clearly defined. The one who reject the idols (in any shape and form) and choose to believe in God he has grasped a firm handle which will not break; God Hears and is Aware."
    2/256

    "If it was the will of your Lord, all people of the earth would have believed (yet He wants to try them with their freedom of choice.) Do you still think you can make them all to believe?" (referring to Muhammed's wrong intention) 10/99

    All the other verses that motivate bigots like terrorist or violent nations are given in the context of a war. Like if you're in an active war, meaning if you got attacked or driven from your home, you're allowed to kill them.

    Take these out of it's context and you have radical believes like "kill all unbelievers" regardless of the situation. Ignorance doesn't serve well neither to a muslim nor others.
    In that case terrorists, other religions' bigots/preachers, evangelical atheists and orientalists work hand in hand.

    People who can't grasp the core notions that I've stated above will always try to impose their own view over this belief. But that doesn't really change anything except creating more hatred and serving to those who benefit from it.
