It's just another religion. I really don't have an opinion on it or those who practice it. We're all entitled to our own beliefs and ways of life. Hell, I'm dating a Muslim despite being Christian myself.
And yes, unfortunately there are far too many people who automatically assume "terrorist" when they hear the word Muslim simply because of some radical extremists. It's disappointing really.

I don't consider Muslims to be terrorists, but are very concerned that they don't move with the times. Women aren't treated as equal to men, forget a gay Muslim... they would probably be killed... or at the least disowned. For them It's like Islam comes before humanity and country and that's what I don't agree with and also they breed hatred from generation to generation rather than getting over past issues.

I like the fact that Muslims take about 5 minutes 5 times out of your day to just sit down and pray. Now, I'm not very religious and I don't pray, but damn that must be relaxing. Nations that practice Islam are starting to rapidly modernize, actually. So, if people call Muslims "old fashioned" then they clearly have no idea about their lifestyles. Just as long as no one tries to force their religion on me then I'm fine with them practicing it and going about their daily lives.

Praying is a very good thing in general , besides it makes you relax.
In islam , one of the verses in quran say what means : no forcing for anyone to enter islam
Also muslim nations are not too developed because of a reason : in the previous 2 centuries we were invaded by many nations and we were fighting and didn't have time to develop but now after many of the fights not all of them were finished we have time to develop

Those are Islamic extremist sects that are hating. There are liberal Islamic countries like Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's citizens are Muslim in a large majority, an there are no harsh Islamic laws.

It's worse than Christianity. But in the end they're both religions, and they both contain radical extremist messages of hate and violence. True, not everybody who follows the religion may believe in those messages, but the religion itself still supports them.
I don't immediately suspect every Muslim I see to be a terrorist, but I don't view them in a regard any different to any other religion. They're all the same. The difference is that Islam continues to outlast Christianity in its active oppression of people, especially women. Take one look at any Islamic Theocracy and you'll see.

Christianity does not contain "radical extremist messages of hate and violence"! They're is a simply a very very small amount of Christians who interpret the Bible that way, and it gives a bad name to the entire religion, which isn't right.

Technically, yes. But so are a number of other ridiculous things that Christians choose to ignore (the usual mixed threads, planting different crops next to each other, masturbation, big noses, etc.).
Also, when Jesus came around, he essentially said not to worry about following every, single, solitary, fucking rule from the Old Testament- he preached more of a be-a-good-person-as-a-whole rather than these-are-specific-things-you-can't-do. Not to mention, he kinda "died for our sins," thus establishing only one unforgivable sin- not accepting Jesus into your heart.
Disclaimer: the second paragraph is merely my understanding of Jesus' testament as a whole. I have not studied it as thoroughly as some of you surely have. I am not a Christian, but I used to be a devout one and my research of the religion is where I draw these interpretations from.

That site is beyond biased. It does not take into account how the world functioned back then. Slavery and taking a wife as a spoil of war were NORMAL then. It's people who fail to realize the context in which the Old Testament was written that really have no place debating it. It's not that we ignore it. We know it's there. We just accept that it was written 2,000 fucking years ago and the same principles are relevant now.

Here is where I disagree with you. Just because people do it doesn't mean you should do it. You shouldn't always use others' actions to justify your own. In general, I support each individual developing their own morals/ethics/whatever on their own. Of course, they cannot help being influenced by people, however being influenced by a book written two thousand some-odd years ago is not helpful in the process of allowing people to critically think and develop their own set of morals. The Bible, along with organized religion as a whole, essentially promotes a "hive-mind" type mindset without allowing the individual the freedom to think for oneself. The result of this is essentially what you wrote in the above quote- what is "normal" is "right." And that approach is certainly not a helpful one in the progression of the human race as a whole.
It's people who fail to realize the context in which the Old Testament was written that really have no place debating it. It's not that we ignore it. We know it's there. We just accept that it was written 2,000 fucking years ago and the same principles are relevant now.
Be that as it may, people still use excerpts from the Bible to further their archaic ideals, which is anything but okay.
Anyway, I realize that I'm getting a little off-topic, but I just wanted to throw my 2p into the ring.

That's not Jesus talking. I checked in a red script Bible which prints what Jesus says in red. It wasn't red.
Also, the Bible was written back when slavery was commonplace.

Anders Breivik. 2011 Norway attacks. Called himself a Christian crusader and killed 77 and injured more than 300.
Timothy McVeigh. OKC Bombing. Killed 168, injured 800.
Eric Rudolph. '96 Olympics. Killed 2, injured 100+.
1973 Anti LBGT arson attacks: New Orleans. 30+ killed.
Army of God. Attacks against abortion clinics.
The KKK. A historic Christian terrorist organization.
James Kopp. Attacks on abortion clinics.
The IRA.
And the list goes on...
Hindus:
2008 Western India bombings. Carried out by an extremist Hindu group.
2007 Samjhauta bombings. 68 dead. An extermist Hindu attack against a train heading to Pakistan.
Lots of violence and murder during the partition.
Jews:
2009 Tel Aviv gay center attacks. Anti-LGBT attack by extremist Jews.
Baruch Goldstein. Mass murdered about 30 Muslims who were worshipping.
Yigil Amir. Carried out terrorism along with assassinating Yitzhak Rabin because he believed that Israel should not give the Palestinian authority more power.
Murder of Rachel Corrie. Rachel Corrie, a 23-year old American, was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer because she was standing in front of a Palestinian home, peacefully protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes.

Okay, I stand corrected. But I sorta meant just religiously motivated attacks, which tosses out a lot of these. The KKK, for example, was a group of Democrats in the south who wanted to promote racism and it wasn't really religiously motivated.
Also, we should point out that Atheist / Agnostics often commit the worst crimes. For example, the Nazis and most communists were very adamant about restricting worship.

Hindus believe in inner-peace. Therefore you can never say Hindus start war or terrorism because the second they carry out a plan in order to hurt other people, they are no longer a Hindu any more, no matter how much they believe they are. This is why you will never find Hindu bombings or war, because they are not Hindus if they do decide to.

Well there is this Reconquista, in which beside normal field battles all Muslims were decimated in Iberian Peninsula
And then there was this First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Crusades.
Other than that, all Ottoman-Byzantine, Ottoman-Hungarian, Ottoman-Muscovite and Ottoman-Habsburg Wars were battles in the name of religions.
These are only the battles between Christianity and Islam.
To name battles only specific for Christians.
The Teutonic order campaigned in the areas around Baltic Sea to exterminate the Pagans of Poland and Lithuania.
The Spanish and Portugese destroyed several civilizations (yeah nothing to fuss about right?) in America.
Oh, not to mention Thirty Years' War.
They may be several more that I cannot remember.

There are many other actions that do not make people Hindu, and going against on of the four main beliefs in Hinduism will always be one of them.
If you knew a very small little bit of Islam, you'd learn that it is in its foundations a religion as peaceful as Hinduism.

"....Fight for the cause of God, those who fight you, but do not transgress, surely God does not like people who transgress. ..." Sura al-Baqara verse 190
This is why Taliban,Al-Qaeda.Salafits and ... are not known as Muslim groups between muslims,because they went out of the peaceful way of Islam and now they are heretics.Maybe they are calling themselves muslims,but according to Quran they are not muslims and you cannot call them muslims,following this condition,you cannot say their crimes are in the name of Islam.
The main foundations of Islam are based on peace.

Did I say anything about Islam not having peace? No.

You did so by talking about peace in Hinduism during a contrast of Hinduism and Islam.
Even if you didn't mean that, I'm pretty sure you think that way.

And I'm 'pretty sure' I didn't. Can you not attempt to draw conclusions from something that doesn't exist. I said that Hindus believe in inner peace. This thread isn't a contrast about Hinduism and Islam, I was clearing up what someone said when they briefly mentioned it. And think what way? Don't know how the hell you're able to infer how I think, all because I said that Hindus believe in inner peace.
