Because they pretend to be the victim in everything even if they are the offenders. I'm all for supporting Israel but the least they can do is at least own up to some of the purposeful Palestinian killings and maybe being fully capable of fending off attacks. Seriously the only reason why Israel hasn't fully taken Palestine yet is because people would see that they are capable of defending themselves (which they are already even with-out the US's help).
Te only reason why Israel hasn't taken all of Palestine is because they are afraid of serious actions done by the Arabs. You think they really would want all of the middle east aimed at them? Jordanian King Abdullah the second said that he would take serious actions if Israel continued expand the occupation of Israel into the Palestinian territories. Capable of defending themselves? Yes. Fully? No. They have defence tech (the iron dome) that costs millions to maintain, and yet 15$ homemade rockets still able to bypass it. Technically they are doing it with the help of the US, all of the tech they have and got was funded by the US, soooo.... yeah.
**xiontheshadows used "*roll picture*"** **xiontheshadows rolled image**I've seen much of FJ have their crap together in regards to politics. I haven't seen one (or didn't notice) any where it was nothing but insults because "blah blah blah different opinion means ur wrong LEL".
You don't make up lies about something that is already bad to make it look even worse. He's not even saying Islam is good or anything, he's just saying prove it.
Have you even looked at this place lately? It's right-wing as all hell, anti-abortion here, free market there, basically every single topic of discussion ends with the right-wing argument being the most popular.
Actually no, it usually ends with whoever argues better or acts less like a **** being more popular. For example, I got into a gun-control debate on the side of not reducing gun control. My opponent believed that there should be no gun registration laws and got thumbed down to hell, while I got thumbed up, and it was because he acted like a **** and didn't know what he was talking about.
Sigh, if both sides are arguing equally well, then the side that the content favors "wins". If there were more reasonable left wing content, i'm sure the sides would be flipped. Sadly there's no reasonable left wing stuff being posted, so the general opinion tends to right wing.
You say that almost as if you believe that FJ is a single person. There's a ******** of load of people who are just here to laugh and don't want to bother discussing political **** . Plenty of different political alignments among those.
I see more whining about FJ being right wing than FJ being right wing. There's a couple of users who post right wing content and that's about it.
Look, I don't care if FJ IS right wing (which it is). Of course FJ isn't a single person, but the majority of the people (that care about politics at all) are conservative. This is EXTREMELY obvious if you actually bother to look. If I actually held very liberal values I would probably be very uncomfortable being on this site. Hell I lean slightly right and I STILL feel uncomfortable on here sometimes because quite a lot of people on this website are legitimately racist to quite the extreme.
If you honestly think otherwise then either you don't pay attention or you're in denial.
Because those couple of right wing users actually bother to upload right wing content and nobody wants to be like a vegan and go "W-well i'm liberal and i'm going to argue for hours and accomplish nothing at all."
I'm one of the people who comes here to laugh, not to care. I don't bother to do demographics when im reading the comments looking for jokes. I come here to laugh, not to be politically influenced. I can count the legit racists on one hand and i only reguraly notice schnitzel or what's his face being racist.
this site does have a strong tilt to the right in general, we get all sorts of hate on bernie sanders and Obama, any thing promoting gun owner ship is strongly supported, people here seem to have a hard on for Trump, the general opinion is **** muslims, **** black people, **** mexicans, feminism is a joke, people in the military are all heroes, people that smoke pot are losers, **** welfare, plus the vast majority of this site is white men age 18-30 which is the target demographic for a lot of right wing campaigns.
The only real traits I've seen this site have that are sorta leftist is that it's mostly atheistic, **** the police, the government is corrupt, anime is neat, it's fairly accepting of faggots and WHY ARE COLLEGES SO ****** ?!
This is the original picture which sounds even like a more retarded parody. Islam wasn't even the first Abrahamic religion let alone the first monotheistic one.
"From an Islamic point of view, there is no divine religion called Judaism and there is no divine religion called Christianity."
Well that settles it. By defining other religions as not religions, Islam is the oldest, best, first and correctest
Even with the description. It is wrong. The origins of a religion (aka how old it is) is not defined by the religion, it is defined by religious scholars who measure it from when the religion and the associated myths start to appear. With Islam, the myths start to appear in the middle east by cults related to Judaism during the 7th century CE. This means that that is when that unique religion started. This makes it the newest major cult in the world.
From my course on world religions, this kind of makes sense.
If we keep in mind that Christianity has three separate "persons" as part of God- God the Father (Man in the sky), God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit (Your celestial roommate. Lives 'inside' believers)- this can be interpreted by outsiders as having more than one "God", and as a result not being truly monotheistic.
Judaism on the other hand places a special emphasis on angels (beings created by YHWH God's 'correct' name. Pronounced Yah-way, sometimes spelled Yahweh. as demigods of a sort), Satan (Or Lucifer. Was Angel #1 at one point.), demons (also demigods, because demons are just fallen angels), and prophets (normal humans given supernatural power in exchange for lifelong service of YHWH).
All that considered, Islam is the only TRULY monotheistic Abrahamic (originating from a culture that, according to tradition, came from Abraham's line) religion.
Judaism doesn't have demons, there was a use for the word satan, but it just meant nemesis.
prophets didn't have super powers, the closest they were to super powers was when they were instructed to do something, and then god would make stuff happen, for example, hit a stick in the ground, and then god would turn the stick into a snake.
and while angels were created by god, they did not have free will, they were more like an extension of himself.
im sorry but this is retarded , islam uses exactly the same scriptures in fact lucifer is the same person and jesus christ was an important prophetm also they have demons named djinns
If it's interpreted incorrectly by outsiders that doesn't mean anything except that they're ******* idiots who have approximately half a brain cell.
Angels and demons are NOT demigods, they're servants of their respective plane. Satan isn't a demigod either, he's merely a fallen angel, and he too does God's will.
Don't try to justify extreme stupidity with more extreme stupidity.
Eh, I dug a bit on this statement. Apparently, it was said that islam is the first religion but was known as something different. Consecutive religions were merely a continuation of it. I dunno
Its called atheism and such a barbaric cult as islam should not be tolerated in a civilized society. And no, i dont want any mosques in Europe at all. Not even in bosnia or kosovo which has been muslim for several houndred years since the ottoman empire.
No, you are not tolerant for defending islam. Muslims may be ''moderate'' but see what happens if you debate that allah isnt real. Thats right, you guessed right. They become rabbid because they are brainwashed by their parents that their ''oh so holy ghost'' is more powerful than anything and its worth dying for.
For **** sake, islam is **** and i didnt even need to read the quran to realize that. i've just observed some muslims at a safe distance.
And NO. I am not ''racist'' for trash talking a ******* religion. A cult. A sick ******* middle aged cult who happens to have almost 2 billion followers.
You know why islam has so many followers? Because they threaten everyone to death who not follow them. They unironically believe that allah is giving them the money in europe.
You see, its no coincidence that boko haram, ISIS, al qaida and many other sects are all muslim. Because islam comes from cultures that encourages inbreeding and violence, thus getting such an violent and rather disgusting followbase.
I swear to ******* god that Islam will destroy the western civilisation and we fall in to the middle ages again because of gullible idiots like yourself. Holy **** . There is no reason for islam to exist in this day and age. Christianity is dying out and we're pretty much of the epitome of humanity but ofcourse Islam is there to prevent atheism. ******* bunch of inbred idiots all of them.
You are absolutely right though.
Mosques spring up like wildfire in The Netherlands at the moment and they al demand rights but forget that with rights come duty, which they do not want to fulfill because "not allowed because of religion" or some **** .
And yes, these are the "moderate" muslims that say that.
''Moderate'' muslims are awfully aggressive when you're critisisng the religion of ''peace''.
Muslims are the most aggressivly backwards pieces of ***** i have ever seen. True ''moderate'' muslims would convert into atheism because here inn sweden saudi arabia uses our mosques as islamic propaganda tools. Funny how its socially acceptable to trash talk jehovas but not islam when islam is 100 times worse.
is saudi arabia allowed to fund mosques in sweden? they were sorta denied to fund mosques here in norway since they don't practice secularism in saudi-arabia, so it sounds pretty wierd
Im pretty sure it has something to do with we selling them weapons since non of our leading politicians see them as a dictatorship. I mean, our government must make some serious cash if they let the saudis found mosques here. Some sort of trade agreement.
**demandred used "*roll picture*"** **demandred rolled image**
A recent overview (made by some prof on some university) of the 12 biggest religion-driven wars or conflicts have muslims on one side or the other.
IMO, muslims are nice but the religion opens up for loco idiots as extremist leaders, who then supress the population by waging wars.
If they don't take their religion literally then it is not a violent religion. But if it taken more literally, then it is meant to be a religion of war and domination. It actively requests for its followers to (in very graphic detail) kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. This mindset is what allowed them to have an empire that contained most of the middle east, North Africa, and parts of Europe.
If you don't take the religion literally then you don't really accept or practice the religion. You don't get to pick and choose which rules to following in a board game or sport. So why would religion be any different.
I believe you're wrong. Firstly, i know the scriptures about the future is pretty drastic (the trees & stones will get the ability to talk and say "here's a jew, come kill" etc) but the quaran also states to never kill and to only do good.
In short, Islam has more contradictions in its texts than christianity or other religions. In the first few hundred pages, Mohammad says the jews are a friendly and nice people. Later, he says they're the scum of the earth.
I think terrorists and extremists rely more on scriptures outside quaran than in, thus making the religion only an excuse for their cause.
The scriptures they use are pasages like:
Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"
Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
This is NOT the language of a peaceful religion. Unlike the passages of violence in the Old Testament, they are open ended. The passages in the Old Testament about enacting violence has context and has definite closure to the violence. The Quran just wants you to kill all who don't accept Allah and will go to war to prove it.
**** off retard, how many times do I have to tell retards like you that these verses were aimed at Muslims supporting them in war? and that these verses were later on forgotten and never ever proceeded because Prophet Muhammad said so? Same way Christians don't have to stone gays, could eat ham, don't have to wear clothes of one same fabric, etc, Jesus just came back and told them to only follow the 7 Commandments. Same way Muslims couldn't eat anything that swims in water after it dies, but then Prophet Muhammad just told them that they are allowed to eat anything that's even the size of a whale.
This is just my two cents (geddit) but I do believe that this is in Afghanistan/Pakistan, both of which are not Arab countries.
Under-aged marriage (though I don't know if that term even applies in those countries since the cultures/standards are a bit different) is part of their culture, not the religion itself.
Islam began in 610 CE in West Asia. I'm willing to bet that centuries before it even got to Pakistan/Afghanistan, they had already BEEN practicing child marriage.
1. He didn't " **** " Aisha
2. Child marriage was common in that day
3. He married her because of her good will and will of sharing knowledge, after Muhammad died many Muslims came to learn from her and her based knowledge.
4. ??????
The art style reminds me of a Muslim artist on deviantart. Forgot his or her name. I'll call the person a he for convenience's sake. He claimed that Islam was the first monotheistic religion. He also claimed that Islam was a kinder religion that focused on peace and gender equality ... also, he loved to praise the goodness and modesty of hiijabs. The comments on his artworks tore him apart, with ******* sources to back their **** up. Last time I checked, he banned all comments because he can't handle free speech ... or being corrected. He might have changed his mind, though.
