arnoldmiro, your start here says a lot.
Which is worse:
1) To slander Allah?
2) To slander Muhammad?
or
3) Neither, they are equal?
Secondly, as Muslims you make the choice to come and live in our Western societies. We used to live in about the same conditions as the ME is in now. That was when Christianity was in charge – sometimes this period is called the Dark Ages. Then we had what is called the Renascence, this is a time when Religion was kicked to the side and secularism reigned supreme. During this time our societies gave women freedom, freed slaves, and protected many freedoms – one of which being the freedom to tell Religions that their Prophets can go screw themselves.
Whether that be Zeus or someone else.
As we do not want to go back to living in the Dark Ages. So we need to flex that freedom, even if it means pissing off some Muslims. And if you think that is bad, I propose we demonstrate that Islam is a branch of Judaism mixed with Arabic nature worship. And to teach that many of the religious practices held onto today in Islam are just continuations of Pagan Arab practices from when Allah was widely worshipped as a Moon God.
So? Is this going to piss of some Muslims?
Am I not allowed to propose that we teach this information to ALL children?
Arnoldmiro:
Honestly now, am I allowed to ask the questions:
- Why is it that moons adorn the very top of Mosques?
- Why is it that moons adorn the very flags of Islamic nations?
- Is it a direct link with a time when Arabs worshipped Allah as a moon God?
- As Muslims easily live with the desecration of GOD (as we in the West do that daily) then is their vehement towards desecration of Muhammad a knee-jerk reaction because it is taken as a slur against Arabs?
How many Arabs have I met that say Arabs invented zero. If it weren’t for Arabs then Europe would be a backwater. Will it be OK to teach that Greeks used to debate zero a thousand years earlier? That zero was used, out of necessity, by Greek astronomers? Not to mention Hindu and Mayan use of zero. I mean this might take glory away from Arabs and Islam?
So you see Arnoldmiro, there are many things that go out the window when one starts cow toeing to the Religionists. And we are NOT going to cow toe so you had best get used to it.
Thanks
