What is your problem with Islam? Think about it

[Edwardo Piet]

Why is it that people who start with "not to be racist" always say something racist afterwards?

He was kidding.

Well I just died laughing.

Same here but some religions are definitely worse than others.

I have one issue with all of them: They're all untrue.

But, extremist Jainism, for instance, is hardly on par with extremist Islam or Extremist Christianity. Some religions definitely cause more harm and do more damage than others.

I don't think all religions are the same; it's innate capacity that there are huge differences in the sentences of each religion, and the demands it asks from its followers.

That's what I said.

1-Carbon-Copies with no personality
2-Evil douches with a personality of their own
3-Good people with a personality of their own

We swing between the three.

You definitely swing between 1 and 3.

But if Islam isn't true, then how can you say there is a "correct" and "incorrect" version of it?

Something doesn't have to be true for there to be a more plausible interpretation of what was written. The same applies to works of fiction. There's very much a wrong way to read Brave New World if your takeaway is that it's all a grand metaphor for the health benefits of coconuts or something.

If Islam is just a made up thing, then Islam is whatever the particular Muslim person deems it to be.... at least to extent of believing in Allah and believing that Mohammed was a prophet.

Once again that begs the question. You're already assuming they're muslims just because they claim to be and follow SOME of their religion (how much do you have to practice to be a muslim? Is it okay to ignore huge amounts of the Koran? Again, even if you can still ignore huge amounts of the Koran and still be a muslim that still isn't a full practice of Islam as you are still ignoring huge amounts of it). I can't read the Koran and then conclude that the message is that a giant carrot named Brutus is God and he all wants us to spend all day every day eating pickled eggs or else we'll have to have our butts scratched for all eternity and seriously claim to be a muslim. As no such thing is said in the Koran.

To be a Muslim you actually have to correctly follow what is written in the Koran. Some of it is vague and open to interpretation but some of it is very very straight forward. To pretend otherwise is just to ignore what is written because it's too horrible to actually put into practice.

Plus, based on what Atlas posted from the Koran, looks like there are at least sections of it that say killing is wrong.

Exactly my point. He's cherrypicking out the few good parts and ignoring all the horrible parts. My point is that on the whole Islam is very much not a religion of peace it's a religion of conquest and violence and martyrdom... there are a few good parts that say the exact opposite. You know why? Because, like the Bible, it's full of contradictions. The point is that there are huge amounts of bad parts that go ignored.
