Why don't western countries exterminate Islam?
Their religion only serves to hate and hinders the progress of man. They're no benifit to society at all and if we did away with them the world would be a better place.

It's stupid to call it genocide. They have a choice to believe in this garbage and it's their own fault for doing so.
Comparing me to hitler is stupid. Jews have done nothing wrong and have just been scapegoated where as Islam is a serious threat to humanity as a whole. Several hundred years ago Islam was the intellectual centre of the world but it clearly isn't now. It'd be easier to just kill them all.

I have heard almost this exact thing from family members, friends and co-workers ever since that attack on the embassy last week.
"We need kill all these sand niggers! They won't let America and Israel live in peace! We should nuke them! You can't reason with dune coons, they believe in Holy War! They ride camels! Blah Blah blah etc"
Where do people get such stupid and evil ideas? I believe it is from right wing radio and TV.
Yeah, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan went so well, it should be nothing to extend them to, I don't know, another third of the world or so, right?
So when do you enlist Adrian?
Islam may be no more peaceful than christianity, but it sure as hell isnt less. here are the three defining characteristic of jihad
A believer's internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith as well as possible
The struggle to build a good Muslim society
Holy war: the struggle to defend Islam, with force if necessary
that doesnt sound so bad to me. their idea of a holy war is defending themselves from attack. maybe if christians stopped attacking islam, muslims would feel less inclined to need to defend themselves. al qaeda is the middle eastern equivalent of family talk radio. or rapture ready. just stupid ismlamic fundamentalists who take their religion WAY to seriously.

The irony meter explosion registered 6.5 on the Richter scale.
Seriously, I really worry that there are people who see no problem with "Their religion is full of hate so we should kill every single one of them."
"It'd be easier to just kill them all."
And here we have the truth of it. You're just too lazy too try and reach an understanding with someone you see as an enemy(though they aren't really), you're too lazy to try and convert them, so you're going to take what you see as the easy way out.
... Asshole.
There is an interesting nugget of truth here: you're right. Everyone has a choice over which religion they ought to follow. So when can we sign you up for Theravada Buddhism, Unitarian Universalism, or Satanism?
Why do people think this fellow is a Christian? I see no evidence for it in the comments... He could even be an atheist. Goodness knows, anger makes people think silly things sometimes, regardless of religion.
And don't compare him to Hitler, it doesn't work. Hitler was interested in killing people who were "racially" Jewish. This person specifies religious choice. Now, that still makes him want to mass murder lots of people, but he is right about it not being simply interchangeable with Hitler
I'm not comparing you to Hitler. He was clever enough to use the political situation in Germany to his own advantage, but ended mad. You are not so clever...and who knows how you may end. Let's talk about this again when you are president, say in about never.
remember, if you 'choose' to believe 'A', then you will be killed for it. enjoy your right to choose!
it's not only his stupid concept of the right to believe whatever you're convinced of, it's the vile way of creating thought crime by claiming one can choose what believe.
so, Adrian, there's an invisible goblin under your bed. if you don't choose to believe it's there, you'll be tormented forever after you die. which may be very soon, because you'll also be killed for using your free will to choose not to believe in the goblin.
Why don't western countries exterminate Xtainism?

There- fixed that for ya. Logical errors and grammatical ones, too.
Muslim countries were a bastion of civilization and scientific progress during the European Dark Ages. A shift to more fundamental interpretations of Islam later on changed that.
The lesson, as always, is that fundamentalism is bad and restricts progress.
Not really possible Adrian. Think of the logistics of it. All the piles of corpses would present a serious public health problem, and even if you murdered them in a really efficient industrial way it would be prohibitively expensive.
Also, murdering practitioners of a religion isn't the same as murdering members of a particular ethnic group. The killings will tend to have the opposite effect to the one desired, that is, they will tend to reinforce and perpetuate the religion.
As for "Jews have done nothing wrong and have just been scapegoated where as Islam is a serious threat to humanity as a whole". As far as I'm concerned, the faults of one of the Abrahamic faiths are the faults of the other two.
Because like it or not they are still fellow human beings along with Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and every else who chooses to follow the religion of their choice. I wish that everyone would just quit fighting for once.
I guess you missed the many, many instances of Jewish terrorism throughout the mid twentieth century. If you were alive then you would have viewed jews in the same way, right?
I just read the last sentence and you truly make me sick.
"Why don't middle-eastern countries exterminate Christianity?
Their religion only serves to hate and hinders the progress of man. They're no benifit[sic] to society at all and if we did away with them the world would be a better place."
That was an easy fix..
Jews have done as much wrong as Christians and Muslims have. Perhaps they have done the largest amount of wrong, as they have been around for longest.
Several hundred years ago, Christian Europe was about as much of a cesspool of superstition, ignorance and hatred as the Middle East is now. What if Muslims then had thought it would be easier to just kill them all?
@Canuovea:
Good point about not assuming he's Christian. But I think comparing him to Hitler is valid, since he advocates genocide (anything that can be described as "kill them all" is genocide). Whether the grounds are racial or religious makes little difference.
Do you think Hitler would have been friends with a black man who converted to Judaism? Or any non-ethnic-Jew for that matter?
"It's stupid to call it genocide."
Then...
"It'd be easier to just kill them all."
Well, that sounds like genocide to me.
Yes, yes, of course.
Hitler believed that the Jews were behind all of the evil in the world.
Whereas, Adrian believes that Islam is behind all of the evil in the world.
Clearly, these are two totally different viewpoints, and there's no apt comparison between the two at all , nosirree.
Muslims are people too; so, yes, it WOULD be genocide! Do you know how hypocritical you sound?! "The religion only serves to hate..." "It'd be easier to just kill them all." I'm sorry, WHO is hateful?!
@ Swede: Replacing "Christianity" with "Islam" would just be stooping to Adrian's level! How about we replace "Islam" with "intolerance" and leave out the parts about killing?
Ugh... This, this is why I hate religion. People aren't even, people to these folks. They're not lives, they're just bugs that should be squashed without a second thought. How can people be so hateful..?
Someone exterminated your brain, assuming you ever had one.
Aside from everything else, how do you propose this mass extermination should be carried out? With nukes? That would kill us all, you moron, and in any case do you think the Muslims are going to allow themselves to be meekly wiped out without fighting back?
You, Adrian, are a very special kind of stupid.
Why don't western countries exterminate Islam?
Because they're better human beings than you.
You are a simplistic tool.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
