  1. +Damian Louden There are differences yes. But there are quite a few commonalities too. Which Muslim majority country has anything remotely approaching free speech for example?

  2. Importing muslims wouldn't be a problem if western countries actually did a good job of integrating people and making them understand what values are and aren't acceptable here. And schools that remove any kind of medieval and tribal thinking from kids that their parents have forced onto them.

  3. +Craigzy Well part of it is just a numbers thing as well. If you have like 1 muslim family moving into a village of western europeans, they'll have to adapt in order to fit in, and they probably won't be that much of a problem and if their kids go to a secular school, they'll pretty much grow up like everyone else. However, when you import large numbers of peoples, they form little ghettos and you have you muslim area of the city, your hindu area of the city, etc etc. That's where the problem lies because it allows them to sustain negative cultural elements.

  4. Damian Louden "A version of Islam which is incredibly sexist". Might I point you to Quran chapter 4?

  5. Damian Louden Mmmm, that's a bit of a weak explanation. I don't think it's entirely wrong. But it misses a lot. For 1, the holy books are massively different. I mean 1 just fairly simple aspect is that the Bible is something like 10x as long as the Quran. It has a lot more room for interpretation because there are so many conflicting ideas, so you can just pick the versions you like. And while I agree that how they choose to interpret it matters, they're not going to interpret something as meaning the literal opposite of what's being said. The Quran ceaselessly demonizes unbelievers. There's just no-one who's going to read the quran and think you need to be nicer to atheists than to other muslims. It reiterates on nearly every page that you shouldn't.

  6. +jmcg1010 A list of terrible analogies. Some of those ideas are not even contained in those ideologies. Atheism isn't even an ideology. It has no contents. You cannot logically derive stalinism from atheism at all. Zionism and Islamism are good analogies though. You CAN get both of those by just reading the holy books.

  7. jmcg1010 How did Nazism use christianity? They used the anti-semitism that had been a part of christianity for a long time. But that antisemitism isn't really prompted by anything in the Bible. It was more just general religious tribalism. That's the stuff that's pretty much inevitable between groups. Whereas stuff like killing cartoonists and spreading AIDS because of no contraception is very avoidable.
