Thank you for the quote PopeADope. You have moved my needle with Mormonism on the left and Raelism on the right far to the left. Raelians consider Mohammed a prophet, but Mormons still have vestiges of violence in their Temple ceremony.

Sometimes it reinforces their convictions. Especially in terms of religion, merely calling someone out constitutes a recognition that the "heathen/infidel" is reacting against the righteousness of the original claim. I saw this as an almost ubiquitous reaction Christians had when called out on their bigotry during our recent SSM debate.Sometimes calling these things out informs a person.
And yet, you can only speak for yourself.I was called out about bigotry, hate, and mass-killings in the Bible, and I can't thank people enough for calling it out!
Well that's your choice.As a result, i no longer defend the Bible!
You can also radicalize them.You can can convert a person from a hateful text by calling it out!
A noble goal, indeed. But do not loose yourself to the very hate you condemn. You haven't yet, sure. But you currently walk that tightrope.Now I condemn all hatred, psychopathic bigotry, and tyranny, thanks to people pointing it out!
The only thing required for hatred, dark-aged tyranny, sexism, homophobia, torture, pedophilia, polygamy, mutilation, and psychopathic killings in the name of God, to triumph in our world, is for good people to do nothing, remain silent, or defend it, like i see people at RF and in real life doing regularly!Sometimes it reinforces their convictions.

There are more tactics than merely yelling at a person.

Yes, i love Muhammad. I also love Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy! I love men who are tormented with psychopathic desires to torture, mutilate, and kill people! I hope they get purified of their sickness and get to heaven!Sometimes it reinforces their convictions.

Yes, the behavior is quite fascist, which is why I compared the two.
And yes, i would rather go to a gas chamber or firing squad than be a woman or Religious minority under various Islamic regimes that rose to power in my lifetime.
I would make the decision to die without hesitation over a full lifespan like that!
Okay, I'm the first to admit when I'm wrong.No it isn't. You compared them to level shame at those who condemn fascism and defend Islam. You are attempting to paint fascism as a lesser evil with a greater stigma.
What you seem to be unwilling to recognize is that the aspects of Islam that you don't like ARE fascism. It's like a reverse strawman or something. But you want to lay it at the feet of Muslims as if they are responsible in the same way that fascists are responsible for what they do. Except they aren't all fascists, and your are practically letting fascism off the hook anyway since they 'aren't as bad'.
You do understand that victims if the Holocaust lived for years in agonizing and atrocious situations from as 'mild' as making the bullets that will inevitably kill their own families to as horrible as enduring months of unnecessary surgery for 'research' purposes. That's all before the firing squad and gas chamber.
That is, of course, irrelevant as attempting to compare one atrocity to another is pointless hair-splitting.
I don't believe for a second that you know what it's like to be in either situation. Sharing your opinion on which brand of pointless brutality and oppression happens to be more to your liking is frankly, disgusting.
And again, you double-down. I told you comparing atrocities is pointless hair-splitting so you spend three paragraphs doing exactly that in even more detail.
Do you honestly think your fantastic notions of what hurts more furthers your point that Islam is worse than Fascism?
I don't think I accused you of objections to my criticisms. If I did, my bad, but I don't recall doing so...@PopeADope You mistake my misgivings as criticism or even objection. I have told you repeatedly that I hasten to move out of your way when you call out such things.
I'm just saying that your approach might not always elicit the consequences you hope for. One should ideally use an olive branch or at least use language that is devoid of emotional furore when trying to changer another's mind. I mean at least that's what I hear.
And I do not know why Liberals oppose anything. I am Australian, American politics amuses me but I do not understand either side of them.
I'm flattered you take my silly posts to heart and look up to me. I'm not real good with heartfelt words or whatever, but I'll try. You're emotional, but your heart is in the right place. And your outlook is somewhat endearing.
The problem is that the Qur’an isn’t a history book, nor are any of the Hadith.What you though he did (bad stories) is doubtable had no good resources.
I would reject immediatly any hadith contradict with Quran teaching.

And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.
What you seem to be unwilling to recognize is that the aspects of Islam that you don't like ARE fascism.

No sir, I'm afraid it is not!Yes, comparing the Quran to the doctrine of fascism, and then repeatedly stating you'd rather endure the atrocities of fascism over those of Islam is absolutely saying Islam is worse than fascism.
I actually admire you for calling a spade a spade and recognizing the policies of Islamic Theocracies as fascism.Yes, comparing the Quran to the doctrine of fascism, and then repeatedly stating you'd rather endure the atrocities of fascism over those of Islam is absolutely saying Islam is worse than fascism.
anti-Semitic (hard to believe considering Muhammad was Arab as Arabs are a Semitic people as well)
