What do you think about Islam(Religion)
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to ask you what do you think about Islam ?
Well I know first thing that will come in your mind is terrorism if you watch TV and listen Mainstream Media.
but i know not everyone thinks the same.
I have been studying on it for along time .
So, Let me know what do you think.
Request : Try not to use hate speech after none of has learned about it or has done research on it.
Islam is a good religion, every religion is good, but the people not.
Well, Islam is a religion, and as such, I think it'd be better not existing.
How it compares to other religions? It's similarly close-minded and authoritarian as the other "religions of the book" (judaism, christianism, and similar religions).
I think its main problem is that there's a lot less muslims ignoring most of their religion than christians or jews. I mean, in most modern societies, people are massively non-religious, or partially religious (living as if many or most of their religion's precepts didn't exist), and that's for the best.
Well religions will never disappear from this planet and thats a fact.
And about people being non-religious, or partially religious thats true . And because of this they lack proper knowledge about their religion due to this ignorance they are exploited and are used for violent activities, to gain profit and to enslave them.
So, you actually think that it's knowledge of religion that allows people to not be enslaved?
If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about terrorists. However, since most non-religious people are not brainwashed into being terrorists, and that there are hints that current terrorists are driven by desires of fame or revenge, and not religion, I don't think your deduction is correct.
Well by enslaved i meant mental control limiting people's ability to think and do research.
I visited an Islamic country and there i witnessed that majority of the people believe in any thing what is told to them and they have been used to murder people. Where as Quran tells to do research before believing anything .
Like i said i have been studying on it and a lot of people dislike me when i tell them the truth from Quran in that country.
And studying a religion isn't bad you just get to know interesting stuff from it.
I don't know the Quran as well as you seem to do, so I accept what you says it says (I'd like the reference though, because I think it very interesting).
However, what you've found is a fundamental human issue. Most people don't want to research, so they'll accept the word of anyone who seems to know more. That can mean muftis or even mere imams in islam, mediatic figures in the west, etc.
That's actually the root of religions' power. No one needs to think for themselves when you have someone telling you what's right and what's wrong.
However, in a form, that's just human laziness. And human laziness is our best asset. It's too much work to be an extremist, it's too much work to make war, and most technological progress are just ways to work less.
here is a fact if those people who claim to be muslims started to think and do research on their own and if they learn it properly , ISIS and all this Radical Islam will disappear.
Aside from the fact that having all terrorists doing extensive research on their own is as unlikely as what you mentioned before, all religions disappearing, there are two assumptions in your statement that I don't agree with.
First assumption is that every muslim terrorist actually cares about their professed religion more than about their extremist ideas.
Second assumption is that anyone would note the same passages of the Quran and interpret them the same as you. This is never the case with religious books.
