Yeah well the girl is Muslim herself isn't she?

A Muslim is a person who submits his will to God. If they shot her for religious reasons she probably stopped doing that and was propagating against Islam.

Wasn't she the girl who got shot by the taliban or al quaeda for protesting about a girls right for more education?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

Yes. The Taliban have a very good reason for not wanting girls to be educated. If girls are educated they far less likely to be religious fanatics. They are far more likely to see themselves as human. Islamists like the Taliban need people to be kept uneducated & stupid if they are to thrive.

That's pretty much how christianity is too.

No there wasn't. It's all later bullshit designed to give the Hasmonean kings a glorious history.

Read some current archaeology and learn how you have been fooled.

Some people who follow religions are belligerent but that doesn't mean the religion itself is meant to be generally they're not supposed to be. Islam is slightly tricky because you do have initial massive conquest of land and people element I can't help noticing. Christianity did this a little bit eventually with the Crusades but that was on a much smaller scale, focused around here.

Bull fucking shit.

What was the reason, you suppose, that Christians used to justify conqueroring all of south, central and most of North America, subjugating and ending up rapidly killing most of 100 million native Americans in south and central Americas in by far the largest and most vicious land grab in history?

The only thing more repugnant than the hypocrisy of Muslims claiming Islam to be nonviolent is Christians claiming Christianity to have anything less than MUCH MORE violent and expansionist than even Islam during its history.

Violence = bad things other people do onto me in the name of their god.

Peace = bad things I do onto other people in the name of my god, or in this case, prince of peace.

I sure am proud of all the peace I waged.

Christianity and Islam are indistinguishable in this.

I have actually heard that there's no evidence that the Exodus really happened, and Nazareth may not have even existed.

IslamChristianity is a religion of peace love why did it expand through military conquests?

*coughkettlecough!*
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

It's more like you have Muslims who are just like "normal people" and Muslims who are round the bend. Though you get that in most religions and people in general. There have been atheists who were round the bend as well of course.
