OP: That it exists as a creation of man (the same as any other religion). That some of the believers are using it to manipulate other believers to commit racism, violence and atrocities against other believers and nonbelievers alike. And that the religion itself can be used to falsely justify these actions.
Maybe this was stated earlier, read very few of the other responses.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well then aren't you "cherry picking" too if you just take the "bad" parts of the Koran and ignore the good? If certain things arent extremely straight forward due to apparent contradictions, then obviously there is room for interpretation when deciphering the entirety of the message in the Koran. I dont think its fair to tell a Muslim person that they are not "true Muslims" because their interpretation is different than yours.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

"Most Damage"?
"Most"??
Do you see why I ignore your posts?

That and I don't actually believe in god to begin with so Islam meaning submission to god, is something I'd obviously object to on the basis of submitting to a thing I don't have a reason to believe exists.
We also submit to nature forcefully, we obey the natural laws without even choosing to.

"most damage"?
I think that is very unfair. World War 2 -which claimed the life of almost 1000000 people- did not witness a single Muslim frontier; the hairy situation humanity is in now is because of the west and china, and their insane industrial cycle, atomic bombs are the real threat, and they are the specialty of non-Muslims.
WW2 claimed more than 1,000,000 people, try 12,000,000+, of all "types of people".
Northern Africa & the middle east were NOT on the muslim frontier during WW2!? I'd almost pay to see one of your history books from your school to see what you've been reading.
I almost agree with you on the text I didn't bold, almost...razor thin.

You. You;re my problem with islam, Atlass. I see you, and I immediately know that it isn;t for me.

I do love the Arab culture. To say otherwise would be to insult my Mother and Grandmother. Primarily Arab culture was presented to my generation through wonderful food.
You're awesome, chimp  here's a basboosa with almonds; and a cup of Arabic coffee And a pistachio baklawa for you!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Arab culture, sans islam...would be an improvement. Islam isn;t a requirement for the tasty food. No more than vile christerism is a requirement for southern comfort food. Gumbo has no dependency on the divine sanction of institutional racism, for example.
Imma cook gold cost shrimp on the grill here, in a few minutes, without any gold coast evangelism.
