I don't agree with the term radical Islam. Radical from who pov? Those who have declared jihad as simply following what their holy book says for them to do. This is what the non luke warm Muslim looks like.

Actually the koran supports anything (vague and full of contradictions), "they're simply following their hadiths says for them to do" would be more accurate.

Yes and fred phelp's crazy Baptist hate mongers are what non luke warm Christians look like.

That being said, I do agree with you that the Qur'an does call for cutting off the finger tips and smiting the necks of the enemy. Problem today is there are a whole lot more warm Muslims than warm Christians. You just don't get to say your version of mythological bullshit has any claim to the moral high ground.

I could post a like but I figure if your here you can google it yourself.

This is an atheist forum, and here is a perfect example of religion gone terribly wrong, and nothing is said?

Maybe I'm in the wrong sub forum. Maybe their is a hot debate in the mathematics sub forum, I don't know about.

Where is the out rage, where is the shock? Where is the call to arms against the fanatics? Or does that only apply to Christianity, and it's desire to keep marriage between one man and one woman?

Personally I'm disgusted by it and think whatever actions are taken to identify and eliminate these scum is justified.

I haven't started a thread on this because, frankly, I'd likely say something in my anger that I would, perhaps, regret later - or perhaps not.

My question is: if they identify Americans among this group - and speculation is that at least 3,000 militants are from the West, including 150-300 Australians - would those who criticised Obama for the drone attack that killed another American militant be as outspoken if it was done again on these vermin?

I watched a news report that those from the west (of the lighter skin tone) are being filtered out by isis by the group putting them at the tip of the spear in suicide bombings and the like. So whatever traders there are they will be killed in fairly short order on way or another.

This just makes hate religion more.
I'm sick of this.

I generally stay away from the Religious parts of the forum, but I would have assumed there would be a thread in the Islam section.

If it makes you feel any better I think militant Islam is much worse than militant Christianity, but Dominionists affect me much more so than jihadists.

Then please show me where in the bible (as you did with the Quran) where Christians are to do act this way? We are told by Christ to submit to our governments.

What the self righteous do not seem to understand is if the religion does not call for Murder, war, hate and a specific branch of said religion does, then that branch is then to be considered radicalized. This is the case with the crusades and Fred phelps type of examples in Christianity.

However when a religion in its holy text requires a believer to declare jihad those who do are not the radicalized members of the faith. It is those who sit idle on the side lines that are the radicals.

I'd rather not. Injury and death sickens me and giving these monsters attention only devalues us as a species.

The non-radical ones will say that those passages are being used "out of context" or some other bullshit excuse. Would a Christian that stones someone to death for blasphemy be a radical one or not? They are just following the bible. Go to Africa and watch Christians murder gay people for a modern day example.

It is the rise of secular values in the West that has forced modern Christianity to adapt and lose the more barbaric elements. The same has happened to many Muslims living in the West, though it is a slow process.

I'd recommend reading "The Looming Tower" which is an account of the roots of modern extreme Islam up to the 9/11 attacks.

Also "Al Qaeda" by Jason Burke. Very informative read.
