This thread was going to go that direction from the beginning because Islam apologists can't seem to defend Islam without pointing the fingers at some other religion to justify Islam. Why can't Islam apologists use Islam to defend Islam? I am not a Christian apologist or a religious apologist so I'm not defending anything. I was merely pointing out that it was interesting how this video was done. It was either dishonest or ignorant about both religions IMO. I think it's more of a western mindset that is acting like it's a traumatized abuse victim. It's a form of denial and disbelief about a situation that I normally see with people who have been abused. We make Islam out to be the victim, and the talk is deflected onto something else, someone else, anything else. We walk on eggshells, we don't print mocking cartoons, make fun of or say anything that might offend because we are afraid of the consequences. Just like an abuse victim tiptoes around his/her abuser. Unreal.
I think it's disturbing that no one can talk about Islam. No one wants to know about Islam. People are desperate to talk about Christianity, policy, anything instead of Islam, desperate to believe that makes sense, but you can't use another religion to get the true nature of Islam or even determine what will happen in the future with Islam. 25% of the Koran speaks about jihad. 68% of the Sira speaks about jihad. Yes, that was 68%. 21% of the Hadith speaks about Jihad. It's not a surprise that there are extremists when you have that much you have to ignore. There are fundamentalists in every religion but there are going to me more violent fundamentalists when you have more violence mentioned in a specific religion. We can keep talking about Christianity I guess, I just think that Islam itself is bad for Muslims and non-Muslims and when I see an Islam apologist using another religion or belief to justify Islam I say something. I don't know, maybe if we keep pretending that Islam is a twin of Christianity it will come true, since that seems to be what everyone wants.
