Totally false dumb comment. You sound like you've never seen Muslims IRL.

The basis of a belief structure is discovered in itś revelation, i.e. itś foundational documents, or books, not by those who allege that they adhere to those teachings.
Having said that, a comparison of the Christian New Testament and the Muslim Koran and Hadith, coupled with the tens of millions killed by muslims, FOLLOWING the instruction and authorized by their holy books, leads me to believe they deserve much of what is said about them.

In a way yes. But more specifically I was referring to more recent events such as the women's right movement in USA.

You sound like you have only seen American Muslims.

A true Muslim believes and has faith in the religions holy books. Read them, the koran and hadith then tell me about them.
Oh, really? When? I guess it was a few billion killed by Christians, then.
Well, Muslims living in America who are from all over the world. My city has a large immigrant Muslim community. At least it's not only seeing them online or on TV.

I suggest you read this link before further speaking about what you don't know:
Muslim Beliefs About Sharia
I'm aware of what sharia is and the different views of it. I did a fair amount of studying of Islam and almost converted.

Read it. Not just the title. There is much more to it than the title. Check the part about corporal punishment for instance.
Yes, Muslims from different regions differ on their views of Sharia, with those from the Middle East and North Africa tending to be more conservative than the rest. So? What's your point? There's probably similar information about Christians.

My point is that regular Muslims make conversative Christians look like progressive liberals.
"Regular Muslims" where? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Iraq? Syria? Turkey? India? Kosovo? Oman? Uzbekistan? Albania? China? Idaho? California? New York? London?
???
We have plenty of "kill the gays" Christians in America, by the way.
That seems likely true to me though I am not able to comment on Koran and Haddiths.. I am sure she is doing it for some good reason, but I don't understand her decision.
She seems great, and I regret my earlier thoughtless joke. I forget sometimes that famous people have feelings. Best wishes for S.C.

Regular Muslims as a whole. Don't single out any specific country.
No such thing. Your attempt at generalizations are pitiful and ridiculous. Even that Pew article shows that the views of Muslims vary by region and culture. Your own link doesn't even back you up. Oops!

No such thing as what ? How did you come to the conclusion that there is no such thing ?
If you are going to ridicule my post then at least put forth an argument. Conclude your line of reasoning.
I edited my post. I don't really have much else to say to you, anyway.
Anywhere where they sell Metamucil or other such fine products promoting regularity.
LMAO. Thanks. This thread needed that.
