The Quran and Hadith are like the Old Testament. They are nothing like the New Testament.

Regardless, people have a right in democracies to voice their opinions. Is turkey giving Armenia back its land? Are the Yazidis and Christians going to be promised a state in Iraq and Syria? Are the Kurds going to stop getting bombed by every nation trying to hold their land? Will Sharia be modified to allow women to have recourse when they are raped?

Christianity and post Christian agnostic/atheist western civ are not even close to the cultures that predominate in the Middle East. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

PS: no shit not all Muslims are terrorists. That doesn't mean people can't ask questions such as: what advantage does large scale Islamic immigration confer upon the host countries? I'm serious, I'd love to hear what you, as a Muslim, would say to that. It's pretty sad when even my family, religious Shias from rural Iran, are beginning to question their faith.

I believe in God in what I would call a devout fashion. I am extremely wary, however, of those who claim to speak for him. In addition, god's law has no place in the laws of a nation-state. When you choose a religion, it's a conviction that's deeply personal. I do my obligatory prayers 9 times a day, I fast a couple days a year to make my mother happy, and I have NEVER, in my life, passed judgment upon a person for not holding my beliefs. However, when Christians and Yazidis are being exterminated by Sunnis and NO ONE in the Islamic world is doing two shits about it, please don't expect me to listen to your arguments about "tolerance this" and "generalization that." Live by your own supposed code of tolerance that is identical to Christianity and then none of us will have a problem. I mean seriously, are you outraged that people in France are pissed about taking millions of Algerians and in return those same people shoot up 150 people? Your ire should be directed at your own who taint your holy Quran, rather than the rational people who abhor violence done in the name of a God, which though I believe in, cannot be logically proven to exist.

I DO NOT HATE YOU because you are Muslim or middle eastern. It simply makes me tremendously sad that the region where western civilization arguably started has no capacity for introspection and critical self analysis that could lead to positive change. In short, to every Muslim: live by this code of tolerance that you want all the rest of us to apply to you and none of us would have this problem.

God Bless and insh'allah we'll all stop killing each other over inane bull shit
