Ah but I did look it up, I even linked sources.

Read that, and tell me again, that you still can't possibly see that the Islamic code of law, Sharia, doesn't deny women rights.

These seem like some pretty average things to complain about.
>lesser inheritance
>modesty law
>male head of house instead of woman

Ignoring that they specifically talk about wahabist countries, it's pretty poor form to complain about something as mild as that.

Also, maybe you should do some research?

Then they go on to say that the ragheads Muslims have their own version. You quote out of context way too much.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_D...ights_in_Islam
^
"Article 24 of the declaration states: "All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Sharia." Article 19 also says: "There shall be no crime or punishment except as provided for in the Sharia.""
^So you can still get stoned for sleeping around. Yay.

Also, signing a paper and actually adhering by it is a different cake alltogether.

ynvaser, let's stop referring to them as ragheads.

It shows how dishonest you are that you leave out;
"A woman becomes subservient to her husband and needs his permission to: "leave the house, take up employment, or to engage in fasting or forms of worship other than what is obligatory."
An unmarried woman is under the guardianship of her nearest male relative."

No wait. You're right. You've researched your position thoroughly. Women are totally on equal footing with men under Sharia. You're embarrassing yourself.

No. Sharia =/= wahhabism. They're talking about Sharia law. Many countries (with low numbers of wahhabists (basically any country outside the Arabic Pennisula)) have Sharia as the primary law. And I don't see how wahhabist countries having Sharia discredits the fact that women have less rights under it.

I'm going to love this. You're the one that needs to do their research. Since 2000, the (57!) members of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) have decided to to abandon the UDHR and follow their own Cairo Declaration - which is modified to fit in acccordance with Sharia. Wiki so helpfully sums it up as "reaffirming the inequalities inherent in Islamic law and tradition in terms of religion, gender, sexuality". YOU do the research.

This thread should be closed already, all they do is insult insult insult and accuse without academic knowledge of these topics. They simple google what they want to find.

They can come up with a million different accusations but the truth is one. But what happens when they don't want to know the truth? This thread happens.

Anyone want to have genuine reasonable discussion? PM.
Parkour like you've never seen before:

Let me show you an example of why your reaction to this topic is why this topic exists in the first place.

Insult: Islam sucks.
Criticism: Islam sucks, because...

We are doing the latter. We are bringing up examples of why Islam is a backwards religion with backwards followers in general (there are exceptions, I have Muslim friends who are okay for example). You come in here, try to close down a legitimate topic because the people posting in it doesn't agree with what you believe in, or what effects your belief has on the countries that follow it. We have a right to express our opinions just as much as you do. If you combine your behaviour with a cup of insanity, you get assholes like the terrorists in France. Learn to take criticism.

I'm on mobile so can tell a bit... if you kill even a little alive thing for nothing u become a sinful and
If you are sinful even you are muslim you burn in hell for your sins and than go to heaven so we have to live like quran says if we dont theres a punisment for every single mistake we make and prophet says "The person who will have the least punishment among the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under the arch of whose feet will be placed a smouldering ember, and his brains will boil because of it." If you think that ISIS and others who kill civils acts like they dont blieve this and make sins. So if they dont blieve that means they're out of way.(I cant say they are not because Only god knows if they are sinful muslim or not muslim.)

This has nothing to do with the discussion and should be sent via PM probably.

You proposition that this thread should be closed is not absurd but your reasoning is faulted. I could write an essay on why your belief that the purpose of this discussion being to discover a final and irrefutable truth is misguided but I shall refrain because, quite frankly, 'ain't nobody got time for that.' Basically the answer to a question which can be interpreted differently by different people ("violent" (read thread title) can be taken to mean what you want it to when deciding what the answer is, so your answer can be valid as long as it doesn't make any illogical conclusions and fits with your interpretation of the question) so the truth is dependant on opinion and is therefore not a real truth.

Anyway, the real problem of the thread is that the current discussion does not really address the question at all. Nevertheless, the discussion seems to be enjoyable for those involved and nobody is being too aggressive or presumptuous so closing it would be a waste. The problem is in fact the narrow scope for discussion of the thread, which can't be blamed on the creator since this thread was not created under conventional circumstances and the creator most likely did not expect this topic/thread to be such a popular discussion. In other words I think it is fine for us to ignore the threads title and simply focus on whether Islam is a problematic and discriminatory religion (In general terms, the phraseology of this sentence is too questionable and unspecific to be acceptable but the general meaning should be clear enough). Luckily we all seem to be doing that already.

Nevertheless it would be nice if people stopped either just quoting the Quran without context or, usually, completely out of context, or not backing up their opinions with any veritable factual evidence whatsoever (links and shiz).

If you are going to try backseat moderating please at least have the common decency to do it properly.

It is a little insensitive to already start using the Paris tragedy to insult people you dislike on what is beginning to seem like a personal level. I am not sure it is entirely acceptable that just because someone doesn't like everyone just mindlessly insulting Islam that you think they are comparable to terrorist murderers.

And xlr84life really isn't the reason this thread was made, I don't know how that statement can possibly be justified, even is it was hyperbole or an exaggeration.

Though I never said they were on equal footing, if you think it's honest to strawman so blatantly but dishonest to disagree then I think your moral compass is completely wack.

The specific restriction you quote is more or less what any parent expects of their child. Are children being oppressed?

Ignoring that you randomly took that quote out of context, you are right, sharia is different to wahabism.

GOOD WORK.

Islam was invented in 2000?!

Or maybe it's not actually Islam you have a problem with, you just don't know it.
