As a boycott of the whole thing?
reduce conflict and unpredictability in day to day lifePromoting worldwide terrorism, murder and rape is a strange way to reduce conflict. In fact, Islam is responsible for 90% of deaths from terrorist attacks over the past decade, and 4 out of 5 largest terrorist organizations in the world are Islamist. Also, the Muslim idea of a cohesive society is to subjugate or enslave everyone who isn't a Muslim.
The average person doesn't think deeply enough to be aware of questions relating to the meaning of life and deathYou're talking from your Western materialist chair. People in the East are all too able to think deeply about life and death. If not, the Sunnis and Shiites wouldn't have a 1000-year old conflict that still makes them kill each other. Hell, Europeans did it too - they killed people for not believing in immaculate conception or in the unity of the Christian Trinity, or in the Original Sin and other metaphysical deviations.
The average Christian or Muslim would think you were a retard if you tried to discuss holy war, or heaven, or miraclesOnce again, you're a naive Westerner who thinks that people are the same everywhere. Muslims pray 5 times a day, on their knees, while reciting verses from their holy book about holy war, heaven and miracles. They're not thinking about bitching hot cars, D-cup tits or lucrative equities in their Mosques, you idiot. If they were, there wouldn't be so many of them willing to die for their religion.
The Islamic State terrorism is nothing to do with IslamThe Islamic State bases its policies on strict adherence to the Qur'aan. All the hangings, beheadings, attacks on moderate Muslims, rapes and slavery - all of that is explicitly ordained by the Quran. If you think the Quran has nothing to do with Islam, you are a worse troll than I thought at first.
Islam (the metaphysical belief system) has nothing to do with Islam (the set of rules governing a community).It has everything to do with the set of rules governing a community. You don't publicly throw stones into a woman until she dies or amputate a person's hand just for stealing fruit at a bazaar just for a set of rules. Muslims do all that shit not because of just some set of rules which can be questioned, but because that set of rules is based on strictest and most fervent metaphysical belief. Would you murder a random woman in the street if someone told you it's lawful? Probably not. It takes an utmost belief in divine origin of those rules to apply them without thought.
the Muslim idea of a cohesive society is to subjugate or enslave everyone who isn't a MuslimNo it isn't. Ever wondered why there was ZERO Muslim terrorism in Western countries until the 90s? It's political. Muslims don't want to sped their lives at war, they want to live quietly among other Muslims. That's human nature and the reason for religion.
If not, the Sunnis and Shiites wouldn't have a 1000-year old conflictAgain, political not religious.
If they were, there wouldn't be so many of them willing to die for their religionThe West destroyed their countries and continues to do so. That's why they are ready to die.
you are a worse troll than I thought at firstThe Koran, like the bible, is selectively read. The only important parts are those related to forming and maintaining a cohesive society. That was plainly stated in my original post
So the value of these religions is only in the way they reduce conflict and unpredictability in day to day life through everybody following a set of behavioral guidelines. Only the crazy see anything more in it, everybody else just follows along to fit in and have a smooth ride to the grave
No it isn'tGo read some history, and particularly pay attention to the word "dhimmi". The Middle East used to be Christian, now Christians are a persecuted minority. Islam is inherently supremacist and totalitarian.
Muslims don't want to sped their lives at war, they want to live quietly among other MuslimsIs that why the Middle East is a constant hotbed of war and insurrection? Is that why Muslims become terrorists and blow people up? I'm done talking to your utter ignorance.
Is that why the Middle East is a constant hotbed of war and insurrection?Blame the interference of the West that destroyed much of the Middle East for that.
Is that why Muslims become terrorists and blow people up?And that.
I'm done talking to your utter ignorance.I'm sorry you are a buttblasted nigger with no experience of Muslims.
Blame the interference of the West that destroyed much of the Middle East for that.The west didn't have anything to do with things such as the Bangladesh genocide. Muslims are nothing more than savages.
harmless religionTell that toe people in WTC on 9/11. Tell that to the people in Paris. Tell that to the schoolgirls in Nigeria or that Paki girl who got shot for going to school. Tell that to Chinese bazaar merchants and visitors who got slashed with machetes by Uighur islamists.
a system that reinforces groupthink and normie conformismOtherwise known as a system of social organization. Conformity and groupthink are required for social cohesion.
muslim fundamentalist movements came to power by sole virtue of oil exportsYeah, Afghanistan sure does a lot of oil exporting, that's why the Taliban came to power there. Also, Turkey, which is ruled by islamists, doesn't export much oil. Ooh, and Islamis Somalia which has recently banned Christmas is a real oil-basket there, right. And the 1979 islamic revolution in Iran was caused mostly by a revolt against Americans and Western secularization, not by oil.
