Islam; The religion like I see it (II)

[WinterHold]

Big Mo was a slaving warlord who had a thing for little girls and ethnic cleansing.......following his lead wouldn't be an improvement for most of us.

Mere accusations with no evidence to support them.
Actually; all historical evidence points to other countries accepting Islam, and revolting against the empires of the ancient world; like Persia and Eastern Roman Empire.

Invasions and civilian killings took place after the prophet. Still; they were nothing compared to what the Crusaders did, or the Mongols did.

Atlass, I am glad you value peace, I am also glad you value non violence but no, I do not think you need your Koran or any religion to value that.

In fact, just like Christians and Jews, I think this religious sense of entitlement is causing all three to needlessly dig in and  cause a self fulfilling prophesy. I wish my fellow humans would stop thinking their clubs explain the meaning of life, and I wish they'd stop thinking their respective clubs are the center of everything.

I'd love to see everyone live in peace and focus on things like pollution, climate change and global poverty.

I really cannot buy claims of any god of any name on a planet older than our species in a universe even older than our solar system.

Humans DO have a great potential to value empathy and non violence, when we chose, I simply do not see any need to fill our goodness in as being magically handed down to us.

This. I also see the that this is the way for us to focus on our lives; moving on and hanging to what our own selves would hit as a destination. Peace is good for all.
