Why do people on here act as if Islam if no worse than any other faith?

[Minimalist]

I agree completely but the point is they are tethered.  I have no doubt that when the xtian fuckheads look at the imams what they mainly feel is jealousy.

They may think they want it, but I reckon they've grown accustomed to the benefits of secular law (without giving due credit) and would be screaming to be let back in should that support be taken away.

So, er, OP, you think that Rafael Edward Cruz is less dangerous than some nameless terrorist? That's what you seem to be implying. There are people who want to coexist and people who want to be a nuisance every religion. Christians in the United States look quite dangerous to me. They make Christianity elsewhere look tame, with the odd African exception like the Uganda.

If we're talking just in terms of Wahaabi-Salafi people then, yes, I'll happily grant you they are the most dangerous Theists on the Earth. Trouble is, you appear to be making blanket statements without understanding the nuance. Wahaabi-Salafis have the backing of nation states: Qatar and Saudi. That's what makes them even more dangerous. Saudi funds Fascist television stations like Peace TV and Huda TV, along with countless Fascist Imams around the world.

Based on the Qur'an without additions Islam is actually a Faith of peace, mercy,and submission. Unfortunately, much like many in other organized religions; they don't really abide by their core book so much, or it has been so twisted that their acts aren't justified by the writings.

Good point.  Don't waste my time telling me what any holy books say.  Show me what the bastards do when they are in control.

I think in some cases it's the opposite.

Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.

Probably if I asked a Muslim in work if he considered this to be a justifiable punishment he would say no, that is if they're accustomed to western culture of not killing women who cheat on their husbands.  But it is in the quran 4-15.

4:15. As to those of your women who commit sexual perversity, call in four of you to witness against them, and if they bear witness then confine them to their houses, until death overtakes them or Allâh makes for them a way out.

Yeah, finding four witnesses to honestly attest to seeing a married woman have unlawful sex is pretty rare. Also it says to confide them to their home, not to murder them. It also says to punish men who do the same.

Getting four mates to make stuff up however, is pretty simple.

Actions do tend to speak louder than words.

Confine them until death takes them sounds like lock them in a room until they starve to death.
