Do you agree that Islamophobia is a huge problem today?

what people have to understand that Islam is a religion of peace. And there’s no reason to hate.

A religion of peace?

Remind me, in Shari'a law, what's the ONLY penalty for apostasy?
Or a disobedient wife?
Adultery?

Or let's be more truly topical:

What is the punishment under Shari'a law for planning and carrying out the murder of over a thousand people who are not directly fighting in the armies against the warriors of Islam - perhaps they are simply a group of young people who are not and have never been members of the Muslim faith and are simply gathering together to enjoy a music festival?

Under Shari'a law, what is the penalty for kidnapping, raping and then beating to death a young woman, then parading her semi-naked and broken corpse in a way designed specifically to provoke a retaliation from her people?

If Islam is truly a religion of peace, why have good Muslims living in Gaza not brought the perpetrators of the unprovoked October attacks on Israeli citizens and visitors to that country to the authorities to be tried and judged under the laws of the land?

Please don't misunderstand me. I do not condone the retaliation by Israel any more than I condone the actions of Hamas.

I also do not condone the behaviour of the Arab nations surrounding Israel who have stated their objective is to eradicate the nation of Israel. I don't condone the way the Arabic Muslims sided with Hitler during the second world war.

I'd remind you that your "peaceful" religion would see me personally executed for openly talking about my faith in Saudi Arabia. That as a Christian I am banned from ever visiting Mecca yet no Muslim is banned from visiting the birthplace of Jesus or what is believed to be the borrowed tomb He was laid in until he rose from the dead.

I can be sentenced to years of hard labour or worse in multiple countries just for openly carrying a bible, never mind reading it aloud.

Compare that with the scenes in London around Armistice day. The calls from multiple Muslim leaders to "rise up" against a country that has done nothing but try to find a way to coexist until recently for the most part.

The problem is not "islamophobia". The problem - which has been stated explicitly by Muslim leaders - is that the countries these Muslims have moved to are not prepared to change their traditions to accommodate these "refugees" - and I use that word in it's loosest sense. Why, if these people wish to live in a Muslim society, did they not move to a Muslim country?

Could it be they're actually a silent invasion force? Conquest by insidious entry and outbreeding the natural population?

Islam makes no secret that it's goal is to eradicate all other beliefs.

But no, stating that is unacceptable is "islamophobia" and "racist"

Hilarious! Stop trolling and try reading the Quran at least once. I don't have a problem with Muslims, but I don't agree with their belief system either. Islam is definitely not a religion of peace. You obviously are not a Muslim, because by your statements you are calling Muhammad a liar. Thus you don't follow Islam because Muslims have to be obedient to Muhammad.

[FreyaRed]

No. Since mainstream media sees antipathy towards Muslims as fight against anti-semitism it's not really a problem anymore.

No, there’s not enough islamophobia. Islam is the root of so many problems and evil today.

[HawkPerception]

To be honest one of my best friends is muslim, but I do not agree with his views at all. I find that that islamic beliefs are very primitive and illogical a lot of the time. And it's a culture that oppresses women very much. We were born in our birthday suits and yet they try to cover them up in ridiculous garments and make them look ridiculous. Also getting on their knees to worship a god they have never seen is sheep behaviour. There's much more I can say on this matter, but I'm very much against the relgion myself. I'm obviously not going to try and change people, and I'll respect whatever their choice is, but let's just say I'm not exactly against islamophobia.

[lightbulb27]

no, but there are reservations about what people don't understand and as well, hearing the teachings it very concerning to many. no doubt want to limit the number that can influence others society lest they take away what they cherish.

There is legitimate reason to prevent control going to Islam.

[ColHathi]

I can't tell if you're trolling, lol. Anyway, maybe it is a religion of peace, but a lot of the people following Islam sure don't seem to be all that peaceful, so saying that is kinda moot.

[Levin]

All religious people have been slaughtering each other for more than 1000 years. People need to stop saying religion of peace because it's a huge oxymoron.

[Lara_Croft]

Haibo, your entire statement is wrong. I only agree that hating is wrong, God has called us to love but surely after history and even the present day you don't think islam is a religion of peace

[strateguy632]

first stop the name calling. nobody has islamophobia. just because people object to islam, that is not a reason to call us names. muslims calling names show how bad they are.

[genericname85]

no, i think it's just a pop culture trend to name everyone you disagee with "someting-phobic" to invalidate any ciritque without any argument of your own.

[strateguy632]

exactly when lazy.

[mattissebfan5]

Yes religion should not be discriminated people should believe in who ever they choose I don't care if your Islam, Catholic, Hinduism, Jewish or Atheist we are Humans some people should learn

[exitseven]

If they stopped the beheadings there would be no Islamophobia.

[handsomelad70]

Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Sikhism (especially in India), anti-Buddhism, anti-Christianity, anti-secularism, there is a surfeit of intolerance towards believers and non-believers alike.

[FunkyMonkee]

RELIGION is a problem! It's a horrible disease that should be eradicated as soon as possible so we can FINALLY live in peace!!

[OfDeath]

Islam is a huge problem.

[gorydetails]

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

Nope.
