Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why do people hate Islam?

You should probably google words like dhimmi and jizya. They are two fairly important concepts in the Islamic world.

I looked both of those up quickly. They were taxes that Jews and Christians were required to pay in order practice their religions in Muslim countries. It looks like they are still endorsed by at least some people, like certain clerics in Iran. That doesn't surprise me. It seems like a lot of these places are still stuck in the middle ages. I'm not going to pretend that these are good things. Discrimination was never unique to Muslims. We had plenty of it here in the West. In fact, there is still discrimination in this country and these days a lot of it seems directed at Christians. The topic of the thread was "Why do people hate Islam?" I still don't hate Muslims. I don't think anyone should get the idea that I prefer Islam either. I think a lot of the hate is because we are bombarded by negative images in the media, and we don't really understand Islam. I know I didn't. There is a lot I still don't know, and I am learning more from people on this forum. The more I learn the less of a problem I have with Islam. They seem to have had the same human failings that the rest of do. As for the media they seem less and less likely to deal with any topic fairly and honestly.

Uh--- because they are all terrorists?

The radical muslims behead the infidel
They moderate muslims hold the infidel down

And the peaceful ones stand by silently...........

Any further questions as to why MN is f'ked up?

Please, carry yourself to the Middle East - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria... Stay there a while, then report back.

He might be from one of the aforementioned countries. Just throwin' out a guess............

Okay, but if you ever have the feeling that you might like to kill one of your daughters with a knife, you be sure to talk it over with your pastor, first.

I heard Obama went to a Mosque and gave a speech today about religious tolerance

"we're a family and when you make one of our family feel like an outcast or a second class citizen you tear at the very fabric of this country"

I've had an intense dislike for that man ---today it went up several notches...phugging bastard

He's ready for us to be Germany

Or, mutilate her vagina. Or, kill your wife. Or, rape the neighbors son (perfectly legal under Sharia law). Or, kill the Christian or Jew or Buddhist at work because they won't convert.

This list can go on and on for a very long time.

I think most moderate Muslims in America are okay, philosophically, with throwing gay men off the top of high rise buildings, even if they don't want to get their own hands dirty.

American liberals seem to be okay with giving them a pass.

It's a funny old world.

This would be a given.

You can always make up an excuse for war. Islam was created as a religion of war and Christianity was created as a religion of peace.

How do you excuse the attack on a Jewish village by the Muslims who's property Muhammad used to reward his followers?

7th century.

One thing that I have not seen mentioned here, and I could have missed it but, the way black America is acting right now they can and will side with the Muslims when they start attacking in full force. Their hate of the white man will make them side with them, whether they are believers or not. Lots have already converted, mostly in prison, but it will expand. Our current President has set race relations back decades and that leaves a gap that will be filled by something. I think Islam will be it. miles

It doesn't matter if Mohammad called Jews and Christians people of the book. He wrote the book about Allah and his god is completely different than the God of the Bible.

better question, what is there to like about Islam?

Notice the blue eyes of this Syrian refugee.


Do you know where those eyes came from?

Those are the eyes of a European slave woman who was kidnapped and raped by a Muslim sometime in the past.
