dont judge a book by its cover. islam gives more rights to women then anyother religion. Islam saved women from oppression and was the first EVER releigion to give them rights to own property, wealth, etc. I beleive this didnt happen in the west until women started staging MASS protests.
understand and read about islam to know what it is and what it stands for. simply meeting a muslim these days is not enough - no one is perfect and dont assume that they are what all islam is about...
Muslims also have every right to be outraged at insulting comments...as you do...will you not let them speak? im sure if one of your core beleifs was disgustingly insulted with a bunch of fallacies, you would demand a stop to it as well...after all, with freedom comes responsibility...
starting to blame it on islam, brnging out the verses without context, without understanding the historical events behind each revelation
"Koran - The Immunity [9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush"
This verse was relating to a peace treaty that was broken with the muslims, and that a battle was to ensue...its called self defence. Notice though before that verse what the Quran says:
4. (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term: for Allah loveth the righteous.
after Verse 9-5 the Quran says,
Koran 9.6-6.7 6. If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah. and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge.
7. How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.
It says if they start, then you fight back, but don't transgress. And if someone asks for security, then give it to him...
oh, and forceing people to join a religion is not at all logical, this means that faith is not sincere...and in islam, one is judged on their sincerity and intentions...
Koran 2.256: 256. Let there be no compulsion in religion
seriously, keep any ignorant comments out of here, this is slashdot...
