Where do you get off calling Islam “the religion of peace”? |
10. |
Islam is a cult, incompatible with the Judeo-Christian conception of religion. It should not protected under our “freedom of religion” tradition

If you want to see Islam in action, just look at Islamic countries. They are backward in every possible way
|

The “Islamic Golden Age” is pure propaganda; Muslims were always backward |
14. |
“Cordoba” to Muslims is a symbol of victory over Christianity |

All Muslim countries are theocracies at one level or another; that’s why they are backward |
17. |
Even the “best” Muslim countries are a thin veneer of flash hiding deep barbarism; like lipstick on a pig |
18. |
Muslims are lazy and unproductive; in fact productivity rankings put them at the bottom of the world’s nations. That’s why they never had and probably never will have an industrial revolution or work ethic.
|
19. |
The supposed “wealth” of some Muslim countries is based purely on oil dollars and not on anything they’re getting right. It’s an economy that rose from the desert sands and will go back into the desert sands the moment the oil runs out
|
20. |
Muslims are smelly and dirty, and their countries are arid dustbowls; even their language is ugly and guttural. If it wasn’t for oil, these guys will be herding camels and living in tents. In fact just give it a few years for oil to run out

Arabs are camel-herding nomads from their beginning; they continue to be primarily nomadic as seen today in Arabia, the Negev, the Sahara, or Darfur

|
23. |
Islam is a lie form the pit of hell and its prophet was in league with the Devil |

While Christianity presents a beautiful purpose for human existence, Islam is purposeless and nihilistic. It knows the good and wishes to destroy it for the sake of its destruction

27. |
Islam stole most of its scripture, theology, metaphysics, eschatology, and exegesis from Judaism and Christianity |
28. |
It’s completely acceptable to burn the Qur’an. Muslims hate the Bible and if they had the chance would burn it too |
29. |
What do Islamists want anyway? Even those who renounce violence remain fundamentalist, extremist, and radical |
30. |
For the past 100 years, Islamic movements have brought nothing but death, destruction, intolerance, and instability |
31. |
Islamist movements are synonymous with terrorism; whether it’s Hamas, Alqaeda, Taliban, or Hezbollah, they are all the same in their goals and methods
|
32. |
Jihad means terror and Islam teaches that terrorists who practice jihad are fulfilling their religious duty and will be greatly rewarded by their “god”.
|
33. |
The War on Terror is a totally unique situation with no precedent on which the United States and its allies can fall back |
34. |
The War on Terror is a no-holds-barred struggle for liberty, in which we must do anything to win. Stop complaining about torture and stuff. Besides, these people are scum and they deserve it.
|
35. |
Islamist terrorists are cowardly, evidenced by their hiding out in caves and targeting civilians. Face to face, man to man, they are no match to a regular Western army.

Islam not only condones but promotes slavery, and the slave trade was purely a Muslim invention. |
46. |
Islam teaches that women are subhuman and discriminates against them legally and socially |
47. |
Islam teaches that all non-Muslims are infidels, and hence sub-human; today’s terrorist groups
even extend the definition of “infidel” to Muslims who disagree with them
|
48. |
The worst thing about Muslims is that they take their religion seriously, unlike Christians and Jews. That pretty much defines fanaticism in my book
|
49. |
Islamists (especially Alqaeda) are hell-bent on destroying America, and killing as many civilians as possible |
50. |
Muslims have no qualms about killing civilians; they have never had a tradition of “just war”. All their wars have been “total wars” |
51. |
The only way to defeat terrorist movement such as Alqaeda and Hamas is to be more effective at killing large numbers of them |
52. |
How can I even trust you? I’ve seen that video that proves that you’re a liar. |
53. |
Why are many Islamic centers and personalities implicated in supporting and funding terrorism? Just shows we can’t trust them |
54. |
Islam is very contradictory; one Muslim group quotes verses of peace and loving one’s neighbor while another quotes verses of death to all infidels. How can we trust them?
|
55. |
The issue of “abrogation” shows that Islam is full of contradictions and shows that Muslims are dishonest about showing the Islam’s true face
|
56. |
The Qur’an is a dangerous book calling for violence and barbarism |

A religious Muslim cannot be friends with a non-Muslim; Islam instructs him to hate all non-Muslims and to consider them as enemies

Muslims never had and probably never will have a written constitution or a limited government |
67. |
Islam is fatalistic and claims a monopoly over “the truth”, making it diametrically opposed to progress and modernity |

There is no hope for a libertarian or even a liberal-leaning movement to take hold in any Muslim country |

The greatest sign of retardation of the Muslim world is that there has been no rumblings of a popular revolution against the tyrannies that rule them; they uncritically accept their lot under these dictators
|
73. |
So what if Muslims invented algebra? Good for them, we don’t owe them anything. The renaissance and enlightenment were purely European phenomena.
|
74. |
Islam is such a foreign culture to the West |
75. |
What use is all of this? As an America-firster I do not care about Islam and don’t think there’s anything to learn or gain here. This is a non-issue not worth thinking or talking about
|
76. |
“Islamic multiculturalism” is a myth; Islam only recognizes Arab culture and attempts to impose it on all. There is no place for any other culture or race, and Arab Muslims look down on non-Arabs.
|
77. |
Islam’s anti-Semitism is at the very root of the Arab-Israeli problem |
78. |
Screw all of this, let’s just bring our troops home and cut off foreign aid. The Middle East can burn in hell for all I care |
79. |
Israel is culturally superior to its neighbors; it is an oasis of democracy in a desert of tyranny |
80. |
We have to interfere in the Middle East because we’re the only thing stopping those idiots from killing each other; the moment we pull out they’ll be at each other’s necks again
|
81. |
The only workable solution in the Middle East is a two-state solution |
82. |
American intervention in the Middle East is good because it forces these countries to “do the right thing”; if it wasn’t for the American stick over their heads, they would never reform
|
83. |
Muslims have been hating us long before we were even aware of them; their values are diametrically opposed to the founding principles of America. We did not initiate ill-feeling or aggression towards them, we are merely reacting to them
|
84. |
Sunnis and Shias have been fighting each other for 2000 years; we better not step in or even try to understand what’s going on |
85. |
Sunni or Shia, doesn’t matter one way or the other. It’s all irrational BS. |
86. |
For all their bravado, Muslims keep losing wars spectacularly; I can’t remember the last time they actually won something. Yet, pathetic as they are, they keep claiming victory!
|
87. |
You will rarely find as much hubris and hypocrisy as in the Muslim world; where else do you see tyrannical demagogues like Gaddafi, Saddam, or Ahmedinajad go off about how it’s Islam that is “truly civilized” and the West that is “barbaric”?
|
88. |
I don’t care one way or another. All religions are nonsense. |
89. |
Pakistan is a glaring example of what Muslims are, and is proof that democracy cannot work in the Muslim world |
90. |
Proof that Muslims are irrational: We attack some villages in Yemen, and a Nigerian Muslim comes at us! |
91. |
The post-911 “Islamist wave” that took the Middle East has largely died out; Muslim nations are more open to secularism and liberalism now than before
|
92. |
“Islamic libertarianism” is an oxymoron; there can be no meeting point between a secular ideology and any religion. The parallels you’re trying to draw with Western thought are deeply inappropriate.
|
93. |
Muslims in the West are not integrating, and instead are being radicalized; hence the fear of “home grown” terror and the need for close surveillance and monitoring
|
94. |
Islam’s strict moral code is unrealistic and unnatural, and that’s why no one can keep it, even Muslims. Just see how Muslims indulge in alcohol, drugs, and sex the moment they’re away from home
|
95. |
What of the 72 virgins? Islam’s concept of paradise is childish and laughable |
96. |
Muslim societies are socially reserved, or rather socially backward, especially on gender and sexual issues |
97. |
Religion is strictly personal and should have no place in the public or even social sphere |
98. |
Islamic feminism is a welcome development in the Islamic world; if Western women can burn their bras, Muslim women should burn their burqas
|
99. |
“Islamic education” is synonymous with brainwashing, just as “madrassa” is synonymous with “terror school” |
100. |
Islam did not get rid of superstition, instead it strengthened such beliefs; Muhammad dabbled in magic and claimed supernatural powers
|
101. |
Muslims, just like Christian fundamentalists, are Creationists, and opposed to scientific progress |
102. |
Muslim media are unprofessional and sensationalist. Some, like Aljazeera, are probably directly in league with the terrorists. |
