Islam doesn't fit in, you are correct. They also have a problem with violence.... more so than any other religion. If Catholics were blowing up 8 year old girls, I'd be just as damning in my criticism.
Islam doesn't deal well with criticism, in very often responds with violence.

I knew when I criticised Islam, some would say "what about...."
I genuinely can't understand that argument... we all have a moral compass, have the courage to criticise bigotry in all it forms... I criticise the kkk as much as I criticise the amount of crime committed by black youths. I criticise westboro baptist church as much as I criticise Islamic hate preachers. I will never be afraid to speak out against inequality where ever I see it, nor will I be selective in my criticism. Shame on anyone who lacks the moral courage to stand up to nasty/evil regimes/religions/cultures/etc.

I get what you are saying. If there was a thread on another religion I would guess you would be on there discussing those particular issues too. You aren't so blind to cherry pick. I get it. Just out of interest nor sure if you commented on it but do you think there is any link between mental health and brainwashing / religious fanataciasm? Interested in your thoughts on it. What is drawing these individuals to do these things. Apologies If you have discussed upthread in which case I will try and find it

I think for some there are underlying mental health issues, but if you look at the numbers, it seems unlikely that the 800 who traveled to Syria to fight for Isis all had mental health issues. Or the doctors who tried to blow up Glasgow airport. Personally I think (and it's just a theory) that being indoctrinated in a religion from a young age alters your way of thinking. It stops you developing to a certain extent. If you read a book daily that tells you pretty nasty stuff... it warps what is right or wrong.
I think there's varying degrees of s*** with Islam, from treating fellow Muslims better than non Muslims, to the persecution of gays/women, right up to FGM/honour killings and extremists.
I genuinely think Islam should let women make the decisions for a year, let's see how the patriarchal men like that.

To you and I, but if you believe you're going to a better place with 72 Virgins... maybe it doesn't seem so bats*** mental. Every single one of us should be comfortable having their ideals/morals challenged.

It isn't always so simple.

The allies and even us did send soldiers out on what we and they knew were practically suicide missions.

this whole 72 virgins bit is quite tiring as I don't think anyone has been quoted of late after a terror attack of saying that its what they are expecting when they arrive up there. Where and when has this been quoted/stated of late?

Yep, but apart from the Dignitas type exit-strategy. Totally rational.

Also, by the time they get to the seventh one and more of 'oooh it hurt's' they'd think 'bollocks to that' go back to the now more experienced first and second and leave the other 68 alone.

They haven't really thought it through, i fear.

Eastern Religions like Buddhism, ZaZen, Taoism tend to be pretty much along those lines (but arguably most of those texts aren't considered Holy Books in the way the Koran and Bible are - also those religions tend to change more rapidly as they don't focus on a dogmatic approach to faith, but individual spiritual achievement).

Kabbalah is a celebrity fad, cribbed from some of the more interesting mystical aspects of Judaism and stripped of meaning, instead replaced with fad humanism.

I never understood why people would reject the idea of a Religion, and then embrace a different one that makes no more sense.

72 total sluts, now that's something I could consider - but it says all you need about Religion that the reward of paradise is to spend eternity with 72 women who are as sexually experienced and knowledgeable as yourself.

Its like crack. The reward you want, for not smoking crack in life, is to have an eternity of smoking crack whenever you want, without any consequences.

So is the 72 virgins actually a reward? Only to the unimaginative and backward thinking people who don't really know much about sex other than 'busting their own nut'.

They favor Virgins because most have a very small p**** and less embarrassing for them.
