It may have had something to do with the practice of accepting "people of the the book" which was used in both the initial Muslim conquests and the Ottoman Empire. The millet system included all conquered peoples as subjects of the nation, but not Muslim faith meaning religious laws did not apply to non-Muslims. Non-Muslims normally were required to pay a tax however (in keeping with the practice of alms-giving, known as zakat). You're welcome to debate Islam as a hateful religion. I did my history thesis on Israel and the various peoples who ruled the area. If Mohamed wanted to annihilate the Jews he very well would have when Israel was conquered, but he let them live as peaceful subjects of the empire. + Show Spoiler + Sunni and Shia reference different collections of the Hadith. The Sunni Haddiths were wriiten over 200 years after the death of Mohammed and their authenticity as actual works of Mohamed have been debated by Sunni scholars. Shia Hadiths were written by the "three Mohameds" so, yes, you can attribute their sayings to "a" Mohamed. Shia scholars have admitted there is not complete authenticity in any Hadith. Wahhabists are a Sunni sect. Okay, so you're going to blame those quotes on the Sunnis. The Shia don't have a good tracking record on anti-Semitism either, especially in the modern age. UN report on the textbooks published in Iran http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,FREEHOU,,IRN,,484901281a,0.html The holocaust never happened! If you want to talk about Muhammad, there are plenty of things to talk about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha Muhammad took her as his wife when she was 6 or 7 years old. Was Muhammad a pedophile? | ||

Are the moderate? or exterme As long as their are no "questionable" ties to groups like Ham-mass(not sure if that is the correct spelling) it should be built. As a conservative the only thing i dislike more than extremely left points of view are people who try to argue conservative topic and just end up sounding sounding like big-gits because they are uninformed. What bugs me is how social conservatives can step in and say a private group should be banned from building their own structure on private property. Obviously the reason is because they're not actual conservatives, they're just hypocrites and bigots, but there's quite a few of them these days. I almost wish there were more Libertarians to counteract them. As for the "mosque", it's a Muslim YMCA with a prayer hall. It's no different than any JCC, and there's tons of them in NY. | ||

I could carefully explain why this is no more or less extreme then other religions, but it's a red herring, so I'll leave it at that. Isn't bigotry a bannable offense on these forums anyway? | ||

Some muslims also fell victim to 9/11, and from what it seems every muslim living in america is an indirect victim even today. I wonder how your opinion would be different if a terrorist attack on the same scale of 9/11, in the name of Islam, happened in Sweden and then a muslim group wanted a mosque to be constructed nearby? I think anyone who isn't American really must understand that their opinions are irrelevant in this matter, because as much as you want to appear to be a modern, unbiased person, you have to understand that nationalist sentiments will override the views of people in the US who would otherwise share your same moderate views. | ||

If the mosque is constructed, I anticipate that there will be more anti-Islam violence, eg the mosque makes the situation of Muslims in NYC much worse. Republicans are going to use this mosque issue as ammunition for the coming elections. Given that over 60% of Americans are against the mosque, this is going to bad news for the Obama administration. Are you blaming the developers? Really now. Thank the media for bringing so much attention to it. To clarify. It isn't even a mosque. -_- | ||

Isn't bigotry a bannable offense on these forums anyway? I'm stating the facts about Islam. I've seen plenty of Christianity bashing in these forums, everyone was fine with it. Islam needs to be criticized for it to be reformed. The fundamental problems in Islam are related to the current poor state of the Middle East. Look at the advancement of Israel and compare it to its Arab neighbors. Without oil, how much different would the Arab states be from Africa ? | ||

In another brazen anti-Muslim incident, a man wandered into a mosque in Queens Wednesday night, shouting racial slurs and urinating all over prayer rugs. According to police, a drunk Omar Rivera shouted "terrorists" before relieving himself in the Iman Mosque. Source | ||

But the whole "faith sufferer" thing is over the top, and on this subject he us prone to mix a lot of bad arguments in with the legitimate criticism, as well as the legitimate concerns about our society's negative bias against atheists. Intelligence and prejudice are not mutually exclusive. You do know a lot of atheists are against Islam, right? It actually a LOT of sense, given that atheism is classified as apostasy in Islam, and it is punishable by death in many Muslim countries. | ||
