Twitter "debate" on Islam

[downbeatplumb]

I didn't intend it to be a debate. I just saw him tweet about an article on whether Islam was illegal due to it going against the Declaration of Human Rights, and I told him that even if it were illegal, it shouldn't be. He disagreed, hence the debate.

Even if some aspects of Islam were against human rights then those aspects can be changed, the mormons changed their stance on multiple wives and coloured people after all.

The public practice of polygamy by the church was terminated in 1890 by the Manifesto issued by church President Willford Woodruff in which he publicly declared “that my advice to the Latter-day Saints is to refrain from contracting any marriages forbidden by the law of the land."[2] Today, all of the 14 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) are strictly monogamist, and members who are known to practice polygamy are excommunicated.

From 1849 to 1978, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) had a policy against ordaining black men to the priesthood, and forbidding black men and women from taking part in ceremonies in LDS temples. Associated with this policy were various statements by church leaders tying the policy to their view of scripture, and opining that black men and women had inherited the curse of Ham. In 1978, President Spencer W. Kimball, the leader of the LDS church, declared in a statement known as "Official Declaration—2" that the ban had been lifted.
