Now most of the time I would consider r/Catholicism to be a rather intelligent subreddit but unfortunately when it comes to anything outside of their own religion it would appear that this is just not the case.
In this particular thread one brave soul voiced the quite unpopular opinion that one should not call Islam Satanic as a due result of extremist actions. What follows is a nice calm rational discussion.
You haven't read and studied Koran, then. Trust me, only satan would encourage such a religion.
This is a moment when I deeply wish I could reach into the computer and smack some sense into people.
[5:32] Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors
Oh yeah Satan is just written all over this right? It is shockingly clear that these nitwits have never even picked up the Quran or if they have it was most certainly with a Robert Spencer/Pamela Geller read along. Chances that they have even bothered to look over a tafsir? Little to none.
Don't compare the bible to the Quran. The Quran is the supposed word of god given verbatim to Mohammad with specific teachings and commands. The Bible is a compilation of texts ranging of a multitude of genres. Anything graphic in the bible is just depicting the lives of people who have lived in ancient times not condoning evil.
The Bible does not give specific teachings or commands? Really? Come on.
The fact remains that the majority of Muslims are peaceful people living normal life practicing religion; it's just that they never got the spotlight amidst all the violence a minority of them committed.
Our brave soul makes a good point
So? The majority of Catholics are apathetic, lukewarm, and no nothing about their faith. Does that mean the are true to their religion? No
He is not going down this road is he? Please no.
Very well then, how would Muslims presumably act if they were true to their religion, and why do you think so?
Here it comes.
ISIS, Al qaeda, Hassbalah, Boko Haram, Ottoman Empire, etc.
From my previous comment:the leader of hassbalah is a direct descendant of Fatima, Mohammad's daughter.They all follow in their founder's ,Mohammad, footsteps as being warlords/terrorists.A commentor once said in a previous thread: " Extreme Catholics are saints, extreme Muslims are terrorists."
Oh Jesus Christ, I think this must be lifted directly out the works of Harris and company. The idea the Muslims who truly follow their religion are in fact extremists or Wahhabi is without a doubt one of the single most idiotic positions I have ever seen and runs counter to prevailing Islamic scholarship.
see Yasir Qadhi, Mufti Menk, Hamza Yusuf, Jonathan Brown to name a few.
What a beautiful thing Islam is to bring Catholics and Atheists together in their bigotry.
