Commenting on a culture is not racist. As one who studied Anthropology many years ago as a university undergraduate observing and commenting on what we saw was a big part of what is done. That is what anthropology is. For a self proclaimed university student you are very eager to make a hasty generalilaztion. |

IS is Islam! They are the caliphate. They speak with the sole voice of Islam. If you do not follow them, you are not a Muslim. Or so they claim. And you agree with their claim? Despite the fact that almost every actual Muslim thinks they are full of nonsense? So, why do you buy their claim? |

For a self proclaimed university student you are very eager to make a hasty generalilaztion. No actual Anthropologist would dare to make a claim that covers the entirety of the culture and the belief system of over a billion people based on the actions of a few radicals. Observing cultural practices is fine, describing them is fine, though can be extremely troubling when the anthropologist is not aware of his or her own cultural bias, and commenting reeks of making value judgments about a culture which comes with a whole host of troubling implications. You should be aware of that. |

Most "normal" thinking people know that it DOES not consist of Arabs alone... ...with your posting style recently I'm beginning to wonder, are you a Dutch Muslim by chance? |

Again, you guys were doing that, not me. ...with your posting style recently I'm beginning to wonder, are you a Dutch Muslim by chance? Nope, I'm not. |

So point out the posts where Arabs were mentioned with regards to Islam! Questions regarding Islam: Just why is Islam such a fractured religion/culture? Aren't all women supposed to be covered in Islamic states? Celebrities in Dubai Unless my geography is grossly out of whack, isn't Dubai in the United Arab Emigrates? The UAE is an Islamic Nation is it not? |

If this issue with IS is not resolved anytime soon, the West will regret it... IS Commander killed in drone strike ..."Islamic State controls swathes of Syria and Iraq and has a small but growing presence in parts of Afghanistan." IS is doing what Western Forces have always dreaded, only they're getting away with it - Mission Creep! |

Or so they claim. And you agree with their claim? Despite the fact that almost every actual Muslim thinks they are full of nonsense? So now you, someone who has just said they are not Muslin, are deciding who is and is not an "actual Muslim"? When and how did Allah grant you this authority? |

It is a religion for barbarians, why is it surprising that a barbaric incident is needed? A few choice bible passages for you. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing — if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. Deuteronomy 22:20-21 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you. Judges 21:20-23 So they instructed the Benjamites, saying, “Go and hide in the vineyards and watch. When the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, rush from the vineyards and each of you seize one of them to be your wife. Then return to the land of Benjamin. When their fathers or brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Do us the favor of helping them, because we did not get wives for them during the war. You will not be guilty of breaking your oath because you did not give your daughters to them.’†So that is what the Benjamites did. While the young women were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife. Then they returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and settled in them. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

I refer you to your earlier statement: "A religion that subjugates women & permits child marriages/rapes is barbaric!" It follows therefore that you believe Christianity to be barbaric also... Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

It follows therefore that you believe Christianity to be barbaric also...They are one and the same, the religion of the God of Abraham, so why do you think there is a difference? |

I believe all organised religion to be bunk. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |
