Is Islam evil?

so muslims have never tried to bring shariah law to the states? good lord, you're not well informed jarod...everything newt said was true....

They may have tried, just like Christians have tried, but there has never been a chance that America would adopt Shiriah law.
 
most if not all religions have evil practitioners

imo, religion has done more harm than good over the centuries
 
I really want to know, you can be honest and I will belive you....

Is it all of Islam you hate or just radical Islam?



I feel the same way about all radical religous groups, I dislike them and belive they are dangerous.
You talk about moderate Islam. What is that? I know that there are many many american born followers of Islam. Dearborn MI I believe has several dozen. Is that what you mean when you say moderate islam, because in places like Saudi Arabia moderates don't strap bombs to themselves, but they provide money to organizations that convince young men that it is ok to strap bombs to themselves and blow people up. Out side of the US, I don't know what moderate Islam really is. There has never been a moderating force on Islam. There was no reformation. There has never been an enlightenment. I don't think moderate Islam exists in the way we want to believe it does. Moderates in the Islamic world are rarely heard decrying their radical brothers. There are some, but not many. Islam in Turkey might be moderated by a secular government, but I know guys that were stationed there and they were viewed as infidels by most everyone there, even the people that didn't mind taking their money. I dated a Turkish girl in Germany for a while and her family HATED me. Her brothers had to be constantly held at bay by the reiterated threat that beating me would get them all sent to Turkey by the German government. They were ALL 4 born in Germany and had been to Turkey only a few times and sparingly. They hated me because I was an American. I treated their sister well and that didn't matter. I was an American and that made me bad, no ifs and or buts about it. None of them were radicals. Not one of them made it to prayer 5 times a day. For their religion, they were not what I would have called observant, but they still saw me as the evil infidel out to defile their sister. Moderation does not always breed tolerance.

Look up Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The guy is considered a moderate. He has a show on Al Jazeera called Sharia and Life. He actually told Egyptians to pray less to increase productivity and has progressive views on women and family law. The guy is considered moderate by those in the islamic world who try to point to moderates. BUT, he also supports the killing of Israelis by suicide bomb because they all serve in the military at one time or another so they are legitimate targets. Rafsanjani, the former president of Iran who the US wanted to win the election because he is "more moderate". This guy extolls the killing of westerners whereever they can be found. Is that a "moderate" islamic position?

For years we were told that if just allowed to participate in the process, given some power, radicals would moderate. Hezbollah and Hamas have both seen sizable political victories and yet neither party has moderated. Both continue to espouse violence and (something asshat loves) the destruction of Israel. Again, no moderation here. Someone please point out to me a moderate Islamic leader, Imam, someone that is in a position to influence Islamic culture.

I think you mean Turkish Delight.

Obama’s pick as the legal State department adviser sees no wrong in imposing Sharia law, which is one of the most backwards set of fascist-like laws. This will also show detailed analysis on the radical Islamist threat and a little bit on the deadly consequences of Sharia law.


Sharia law is a type of medieval Fascism. It was a set of laws made up by Islamic scholars and became laws of all the Islamic Caliphates. Now radical Islam seeks to impose it, whether through violent jihad or through cultural jihad, the latter of which is a jihad to overthrow existing societies [including the democratic west] and to impose Sharia law from within.

Sharia law controls every aspect of the individual’s life. Under Sharia, leaving Islam is punishable by death. Under Sharia, when a women is raped, she receives the death penalty for adultery while nothing happens to the rapist. That’s why Sharia law appeals to rapist and gets rapists to be radical Islamists. That’s a large part why Jihadist Fascism thrives in our [America's] prisons.


Sharia law is a totalitarian set of laws that contradicts the US constitution and the vision of the Founding Fathers. America is now becoming a victim of radical Islam. The cultural jihad is a monster that’s absorbing whatever it can with this Jihadist indoctrination. It seeks to eliminate “Western civilization from within and ’sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions” [1991 Muslim Brotherhood memo].

The violent Jihad commits terrorist attacks on men, women and children. The cultural jihad backs the violent jihad if it’s not caught. When it comes to 9/11 and 7/7, with the west looking at whether those acts are condemned or not, the cultural jihadists give cheap lip service against them, while supporting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah by funding them and by indoctrinating Muslim people to fight against the non-Muslim infidels. Since the western world expects Muslims to condemn Al Qaeda to be moderate, cultural jihadists many times give cheap lip service against Al Qaeda. The cultural jihadists still fight for the same kind of society Al Qaeda fights for, an Islamo-fascist society ruled by Sharia law.


I think I did enough in describing the violent and cultural jihads in radical Islam and showing a little bit about why Sharia law it a totalitarian set of laws.

To make it all worse, President Obama chose Harold Koh as the legal adviser for the State Department. Harold Koh says that there’s nothing wrong with Sharia law. The NY Post reported that:



"JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations’ legal “norms.” Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an “axis of disobedience” along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.

Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government’s top lawyers: Harold Koh.

President Obama has nominated Koh — until last week the dean of Yale Law School — to be the State Department’s legal adviser. In that job, Koh would forge a wide range of international agreements on issues from trade to arms control, and help represent our country in such places as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.

It’s a job where you want a strong defender of America’s sovereignty. But that’s not Koh. He’s a fan of “transnational legal process,” arguing that the distinctions between US and international law should vanish."


What would this look like in a practical sense?

We’ve seen Sharia courts at work. They’re never fair. Basically, as the state Department’s legal adviser Will be someone who sees no wrong in Sharia law, which punishes rape victims instead of rapists and which kills people for leaving Islam. Harold Koh, you’ve gotta be kidding me. I have no government job. Yet at least I understand the horror of Sharia law. It’s people like Harold Koh who will turn us non-Muslims [I'm an American Jew] into second-class Dhimmis. Armenian freedom fighters fought to free the Armenian people from being second-class dhimmis under the Ottoman empire. As a result, the Ottoman Nazi-like leadership carried out a genocidal campaign on the Armenians.

Yet we have this Harold Koh fellow who sees nothing wrong with imposing Sharia law and who has no idea what being a Dhimmi is like. The US, as the superpower leading the free world, has an obligation to protect itself and do its part in protecting the world from radical Islam. Yet how will America do that if the legal adviser for the State Department sees no wrong in Sharia law. Middle East expert Bernard Lewis said,” Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century.”

With Obama, America is heading down the same road as Europe, where the cultural jihad eats more and more of our [America's] institutions. Europe already has Sharia courts and no go zones for the police in those countries where Sharia is enforced. Muslim radicals plan to use those areas as bases in order to expand to the rest of Europe in imposing their Fascist system, which includes Sharia law.

Many people will say that the Muslim radicals can’t achieve their goals. Whether they can or not, they’re still a global threat. Lebanon had a Christian majority. Look what happened. Radical Islamic groups including Hezbollah are causing trouble and are trying to turn Lebanon into an expansionist Islamist state.

If the State Department’s legal adviser sees no wrong in having Sharia law, it will bolster the Islamists at the expense of the moderate Muslims who seek to promote a tolerant interpretation of Islam that’s compatible to democracy.

Obama already made horrible choices on nominees like choosing the tax-cheat Timothy Geitner as Treasury Secretary. Geitner is helping Obama to impose a nanny state Socialist agenda on America. Obama also attempted to choose Charles Freeman as the head of the National Intelligence Estimate. Mr. Freeman has anti-Israel views, ties to the Saudi regime and also praised the Chinese crackdown on the pro-democracy heroes in Tianamen Square. His choice was controversial. So he didn’t accept it and blamed it on the pro-Israel lobby.

Now, we have this pro-Sharia law fellow Harold Koh as the State Department’s legal adviser. Obama just seems to do a horrible job with nominees. When it comes to choosing horrible nominees, I think President Obama deserves first prize. Plus, Obama understands the violent terror jihad from groups like Al Qaeda, but fails to understand the cultural jihad.

I hope this Koh fellow wakes up on the facts about Sharia law. But this probably won’t happen.

How is this any different from beth din? There's no single form of Sharia and both practices apply to believers only.

Sharia law can be organized in different ways.

Sharia can be divided into five main branches: ibadah (ritual worship), mu'amalat (transactions and contracts), adab (morals and manners), i'tiqadat (beliefs), and 'uqubat (punishments).


[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia"]Sharia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Allah-eser-green.png" class="image"><img alt="Allah-eser-green.png" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Allah-eser-green.png/155px-Allah-eser-green.png"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/c/c2/Allah-eser-green.png/155px-Allah-eser-green.png[/ame]


Beth din.
In Orthodox Judaism, a beth din consists of three observant Jewish men, at least one of whom is widely knowledgeable in Jewish law (halakha), to be capable of instructing the other members in any matters of halakha relevant to the case being heard.[1]

In practice, a permanent beth din will consist of three rabbis, while a beth din for an occasional matter (such as handling religious vows) need not consist of rabbis. A beth din which handles cases involving complex monetary issues or large community organizations requires "judges" (dayanim, singular: dayan), who require an additional semicha (yadin yadin) which enables them to participate in such a beth din and adjudicate complex cases involving highly technical points of law.

A beth din is required or preferred for the following matters:

* Validation of religious bills of divorce (get, pl. gittin).
* Kosher certification of restaurants and food manufacturers (Hechsher).
* Examination of shochetim and the control of the shechita inspectors
* Conversions to Judaism with at least one member of the court being a rabbi who is an expert on the laws of conversion.
* Supervising the building and maintenance of a mikvah.
* Determination of "personal status" (i.e. whether someone is a Jew according to halakha).
* The authorization and supervision of mohelim.
* Questions relating to burial practices and mourning.

Yes, Islam is inherently evil. Most of its followers though are peaceful folks who just want to get along, and haven't thought about the logistics about what they are following.
 
Seriously, with all the campaign rhetoric I keep hearing from Newt Gengrich and other REpublicans.... I am wondering if people really belive that all Muslams are out to kill us.


Does anyone here belive that Islam is an evil religen?

Is Shriah law evil?

Is a Mosque 2 blocks away from ground zero really something that the law should be allowed to prohibit?

Is the Koran evil?
I know woman who have converted to Islam. There are varying degrees of Islam, just like Christianity. I do not believe Islam is evil, just the people who use it as a means to an end, as they do with Christianity. When you try to force people to submit to anything against their wills, it is evil. I find it better when people are treated as equals with respect and dignity. We as a country are still coming into our own as far as women's and everyone else who isn't a white male, rights!
 
I'm told that Mohamed married a 6 year old.
One of Muhammad's wives was Ayesha or Aisha. Depending on what sources are used her age at marriage is sometimes put at 6 and consummation at 9. However there are a number of facts which need to be factored in.

1: Not all sources agree with Bukhari about Ayesha's age, Bukhari's Hadith were not collated until 300-odd years after Muhammad's death. Other sources give Ayesha's age as being 16 at marriage and 19 at consummation.

2: Even if her age were 6 / 9, the custom of taking child brides was a part of Middle-Eastern culture. The Jews practised it as well as many of the other nations in the Middle-East and remember too that Mary of Nazareth's age was probably around the 12-14 mark.

3: Pedophilia is both a sexual dysfunction and a legal one. Muhammad's others wives were adult women with who he apparently had very good relations. This would not normally be the case for a pedophile.

4: Customs and Traditions as well as laws were very different then from now. What is considered unacceptable now was not considered anything to comment about then.

Since you will spin it this way no matter what is said:

YES! Islam is evil.

Muslims are the spawn of Satan whom practice demonism by eating the brains out of living babies. (Their victims grow up to be modern liberals.)

The Koran tells them to kill as often as possible!

There. Satisfied?
I am...

Born into it, except it, never challenge it, sounds like most religions!
