Two exmuslims who discuss rationality and spirituality, LIVE.
Islam and the legacy of violence
Many people say terrorist attacks are NOT allowed in Islam. But can we really say they have nothing to do with Islam?
This article will discuss that idea. I am proposing that the Islamic texts lead to a hostile world view.
I’m not saying Islam allows killing people without a trial. I’m not saying that. I am not saying vigilantism is allowed in Islam. Please understand that.
Before you read this and think everything I quoted is out of context. Realize that this is what happens with all religions (especially man-made ones). There will be contradictory statements and interpretations and understandings all over the board.
My argument is that a straightforward reading of the Quran and Sunnah leads to something quite awful for humanity.
The Quran is antagonistic to kuffar. And whoever made this religion was irresponsible by leaving violent texts full of violent statements which has led to so much bloodshed in Allah’s name. We do not see as much of an emphasis on violent warfare in any other religion as we do in Islam. We do not see so much theological inspired terrorism as we do with Islam.
The Ramadan Fast
Certain things make you pause and wonder “hmm?”.
The large discrepancy between the number of hours a Muslim would fast in his lifetime depending on where he lives in the world shows a poorly planned and thought out unfair system.
Is it okay to criticize Islam?
Is it okay to criticize Islam? Many people consider it offensive to criticize another person’s belief and think our world would be a better place if we all had only good things to say and never criticized or condemned any system of belief. This article will explore that idea in detail.
