    |All the people that claim terrorists “aren’t real Islam “- if Islam
    |has billions of people and the horrible ones are the minority , why
    |don’t the majority get out into the streets to protest ?


      |u/Anonuser123abc - 16 hours
      |
      |Those "real Islam" arguments are textbook examples of the "no true
      |scottsman" fallacy.


        |u/Basketbally - 15 hours
        |
        |True Scottsman fallacy doesn't apply when there's a strict book
        |on what qualifies as a Scottsman. How one interprets the book,
        |well, that's why we have Supreme Court Justices.


          |u/Anonuser123abc - 15 hours
          |
          |The whole schism between Catholics and Protestants was on who
          |was allowed to read and interpret the rule book. I think it
          |counts as NTS. If the book that explains how to do it isn't
          |clear enough that most people agree then what is the "real"
          |definition?


            |u/Basketbally - 14 hours
            |
            |Well the bar for a real Christian or a real Muslim is quite
            |low. Believe in God + either believe Jesus died for your
            |sins or Muhammad is the last prophet, respectively. So I
            |think these instances of "he's not a real..." is more of one
            |simply not knowing the definition. I don't want to get too
            |philosophical but I feel this fallacy is thrown around too
            |much but it can technically be applied to literally anyone
            |who says those words.


              |u/purple_spikey_dragon - 2 hours
              |
              |Not knowing the definition due to there not being a
              |definition. There is no true definition of what a real
              |Muslim is. Even claiming that believing in the Quran alone
              |is real Muslim is wrong, as many also believe that real
              |Muslims need to believe in the Hadiths, though many would
              |argue "which hadiths?". All that to add on the "which side
              |is the real Islam?" Because you have two main factions,
              |both believe they are and the others aren't (in those
              |factions you have more groups of course). There is no "do
              |this and you be real Muslim".   In Christianity, as far as
              |i learned about it, you can be the wrong Christian, but
              |you will still be considered Christian. In Islam its
              |different. A somewhat fitting example are the stories of
              |Beduins who were attacked in southern Israel during the
              |Oct 7 massacres. One man reported hearing the attackers
              |stop Beduin Muslims and ask them to recite verses, but
              |when the man recited a verse the attacker didn't
              |recognise, he hit him. So they are Muslims, but not real
              |enough for them to be recognised as such.


          |u/Rafodin - 4 hours
          |
          |There is no "strict book" on what qualifies as a Muslim. Islam
          |does not follow *sola scriptura* like Protestantism. The
          |"tradition" or *Sunna* of Islam is one of the main pillars of
          |the religion. In fact only considering the Koran is considered
          |typical heresy.  The Koran is one-tenth the size of the bible
          |and does not have enough instructions in it to form a coherent
          |religion. There is no instruction on how to pray for example.
          |Tradition as taught by clerics is part and parcel of the
          |religion.


            |u/Justarandomfan99 - 38 minutes
            |
            |Quran's goal was NEVER to form any religion but offer a
            |general spiritual guidance to "believers". "Islam" in Quran
            |simply means "submission to God" and "den" often translated
            |as "religion" have dozen of meanings including path, faith,
            |culture, etc. .. If there's no instruction to pray then as
            |long as the objective is fulfilled (worship God), then the
            |prayer is valid. Nothing in quran even suggests that there
            |was an entire secondary revelation alongside Quran that the
            |prophet supposedly received (only few personal
            |inspirations). Similarly, "obey the messenger" means obey
            |his message, ie: the Quran since his only duty is said to be
            |deliver the quran. (There is plenty of verses the start with
            |"Oh prophet say to the believers", so obeying the messenger
            |means obeying  what he says from quran)

      |so how is it not the ''real'' thing when they source it 1-1 from
      |the source?    if Extremists, do the same as the fundamentalists,
      |but take it to extremes. If book says ''eat 2 apples a day'' they

            |Americans online protesting about him on social media every
            |day 2. There’s a difference between a piece of shit
            |President, and an inherently violent and misogynistic
            |religion followed by billions of individuals.  3. How can

    |The Bible says you can own slaves and do other horrible stuff, too.
    |Nearly every religion has horrible stuff in it that should be
    |ignored by any sane person who understands the importance of
    |context. There are plenty of stories of Muslims doing good deeds,
    |like the one where they surrounded Jewish people with their bodies
    |so ISIS wouldn't kill them. Religion is frequently used as an excuse
    |to commit indefensible atrocities but that doesn't mean religion
    |itself is worthless. Unpopular opinion on anti-theist reddit, I
    |know, and I expect a lot of downvotes, but I truly believe there are
    |good religious people in the world and that religion still has good
    |to offer, especially in terms of mental health.


      |u/dropbbbear - 12 hours
      |
      |> The Bible says you can own slaves and do other horrible stuff,
      |too  The Christian Bible doesn't condone that, and the Jewish
      |Torah technically does, but how often do you see Jews doing
      |slavery anyway?  Meanwhile Islam's unambiguous teaching is that
      |you HAVE to conquer the nonbelievers and either force them to
      |convert to Islam, subjugate them, or exterminate them en masse.
      |And that you are allowed to hide your intention of doing so, until
      |you have built up a majority in society.  This is the teachings of
      |Muhammad, and this is the example he set by being a conquering
      |warlord. And many Muslims follow this example.  That's why Islam
      |is far, far, far ahead of any other religion in terms of violent
      |acts. It is inherently dangerous.


        |u/dongasaurus - 12 hours

        |The Christian bible has a number of passages requiring slaves to
        |be obedient to their masters, while also requiring slave masters
        |to treat their slaves justly, and with some critiques of the
        |slave trade generally. Pretty much the same position as the 5
        |Books of Moses.

            |5 Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and
            |trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ,d 6 not only
            |when being watched, as currying favor, but as slaves of
            |Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,e 7 willingly
            |serving the Lord and not human beings, 8 knowing that each
            |will be requited from the Lord for whatever good he does,
            |whether he is slave or free. 9 Masters, act in the same way
            |toward them, and stop bullying, knowing that both they and
            |you have a Master in heaven and that with him there is no
            |partiality.f


          |u/dropbbbear - 9 hours
          |
          |In the passages you linked, there is no statement saying
          |"Christians can own slaves".   In fact, Jesus' commandment "do
          |unto others" obviously overrides any implied permission that
          |could be read into it.

            |One can (and many do) make the exact same arguments about
            |the Jewish bible. “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”
            |is from Leviticus, it is not a Christian invention. It’s
            |quite hypocritical to read each passage of the Jewish bible
            |literally and in isolation while viewing the Christian bible
            |through a more holistic lens. You also might recall that the
            |entirety of the Jewish bible is part of the Christian bible,
            |and Jesus was a Jew.  Either both condone slavery or neither
            |does. Some of the most fundamental ideals of Judaism is that
            |humans are made in the image of god, love thy neighbor as
            |thyself, and to treat strangers with the same love and
            |kindness. Both accept that slavery existed at the time, and
            |both attempt to substantially limit the institution of
            |slavery and provide protections to slaves.

              |I will add that Jesus went further and also explicitly
              |defined "neighbour" as anyone in need with the Good
              |Samaritan parable.  >It’s quite hypocritical to read each

              |condone slavery or neither does  I'd lean towards neither,
              |then.  Exodus 21:16 - "Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be
              |put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still
              |in the kidnapper’s possession."  Enslavers are also called
              |immoral in Timothy.

      |They didn't protect the Jewish people because they followed the

      |the difference is though, that currently, one is doing alot more
      |things in these past couple of decades to get noticed than the
      |other two you've mentioned, including insisting places that are
      |not majority of that faith to change for them instead of adapting
      |to the local customs.       Maybe in a couple decades another
      |religion will be doing it and you'll see comments like yours ''not
      |all X-religion'' but that still wont change who is doing what now
      |and with what excuse

      |Not Judaism. Jews (Orthodox) actually reject people who try to

        |You do realise they were started in response to Islam's
        |aggressive conquest, right?  From 600-1000 the Islamic
        |caliphates were constantly invading neighbouring lands, such as
        |the Byzantine Empire and Spain. When they conquered their
        |territory, they would either force everyone to convert to Islam,
        |or oppress them and make them pay ruinous taxes, or sometimes
        |just outright massacre them.  The Crusades began because the
        |Byzantines actually asked the Crusaders to come and protect them

        |muslim personal law is not sharia, it is just some personal laws
        |that every faith tribe or ilk is allowed to practice since the
        |inception of the country, the problem came when some religions
        |like sections in hindus did not have their laws codified, this
        |did not guarantee any rights or decide on any duties since the
        |laws were either incomplete or did not have a consensus of all
        |the sections. contrary to all that muslims have had contracts
        |with terms and conditions since 1400 years that everyone agrees
        |to so a new uniform code was not necessary.

      |Well it's not sharia per se but many facets of it are taken in for

      |It is all across India, in all states. It's in the constitution.
      |The Muslim biased laws were not so hard during initial days.
      |However, subsequent government brought new and strict laws
      |favouring Muslim for vote bank politics. Like a 15 year old muslim
      |girl can be married in India to a 20-30 or even older male. But
      |hindus or girls of any other religion need to be atleast 18 years
      |of age to consent for marriage. Moreover, there are separate
      |property and tax laws under Muslim Waqf board that can declare any
      |property it's own muslim property without going to courts. Last
      |year, they claimed and occupied a whole village with 2000 years
      |old Hindu temple to be their own. Irony is, Islam is just 1300
      |years old. There are numerous such biased laws in India. There are
      |few Christian favouring laws too.


        |u/ComprehensiveDeal908 - 1 hour

        |most of what you say is not true, according to Prohibition of
        |Child Marriage Act,2006 no one in india can marry before 18(f)
        |and 21(m), there are no separate property laws for muslims,
        |muslims when they give any property to waqf lose any claim of
        |ownership to it, it cant be sold it cant be inherited, it goes
        |to charity where the income can be used only for the welfare of
        |the people. the cillage you talk about was already land given to

  |Afaik it was built at a time when Hindus and Muslims were pretty

  |which was popular among both Hindu and Muslim leaders back then, most
  |of whom were extremely orthodox and had little interest in mixing with
  |the other side. Indian nationalism led by Indian liberals who sought
  |to forge a unified nation based on modern values tore these ideas
  |apart to a large extent.   As a result, you still have institutions

      |among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all
      |its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile
      |all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the
      |entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.
      | That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.
      | Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.
      | Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to
      |you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation,
      |just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God
      |will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I
      |am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."
      | (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)        (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)      
      | As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms
      |for peace.  If they accept your terms and open the gates to you,
      |then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.  But if
      |they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack
      |the town.  When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every
      |man in the town.  But you may keep for yourselves all the women,
      |children, livestock, and other plunder.  You may enjoy the spoils
      |of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.

            |...unlike the commenter before you I'll admit, there are
            |pretty serious issues in India and yes the current
            |dispensation is kinda against the Muslim. But I will also
            |say that the reports that you see in the western and
            |particularly left media are blown out of proportion and more
            |often than not are pretty one sided and biased.   Also all
            |the welfare and govt sponsored programs tend to be pretty
            |non discriminatory in their targeting. Be it the water
            |supply or anything else. But yes there are exceptions here
            |and there which is sad.   As far as Human rights go yes.
            |When it comes to political issues there are many instances
            |of cruelty and violations of rights. "Cow vigilantism" and
            |more recently "bulldozer" are probably the most glaring of
            |them.  Also silencing opposition is pretty overblown. Do
            |they try? Yes. But more often than not they fail because we
            |have more than adequate checks and balances in the system. I
            |don't think that any of those that the govt has tried to
            |silence are behind the bar or actually in fact silent.   And
            |throwing around the terms fascist just because we have a
            |single party with power and its bias towards a single
            |category is not right either.   But Authoritarian and
            |nationalistic? Yes that I will agree a 1000% but not exactly
            |fascist. The opposition is alive and doing okish. If

      |Eh i didnt let it bother me. Im not against religion, but im not a

      |pushing their religion on me. Ill just listen to their speech and
      |opinions and politely say "thats interesting, but im not a

  |Islam doesn't even mean religion in quran. Just "submission to God".
  |Jews and Christians are in fact never called to convert to "Islam" but
  |apply their own scripture. Nothing suggests it's muslims' duty to
  |"convert". Quran only states it was the prophet's duty to convey the
  |message and ask them to believe in God. If they don't, then the
  |prophet's only duty is to deliver:   "But if they turn away - then We
  |have not sent you as a guardian over them. Your duty is only to convey
  |[the message]. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy from Us, he
  |rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for what his hands have put
  |forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful."  It's clear that the prophet
  |isn't supposed to coerce anyone to believe but simply to deliver the
  |message. No verse implies that the same duty applies to the rest of
  |the muslims

|I have never heard of this newspaper and what they write does not match

|have never heard of this specific news site, it is certainly not one of

  |There are numerous Indian sources for this. India claims to be a

  |and one for the rest. We are trying to get a uniform civil code up and
