Islamic Exclusivism

Religion plays a major role in any human conflict.

It is an undeniable fact that religious reforms have never been accomplished successfully in Islam and therefore it remains as a medieval religion. Unlike other religions, which have �theological beliefs' and �sociological beliefs' as separate entities, Islam has never learned to look at it differently. Thus, Islam remains a fundamentalist religion, which denies integration with people of other faiths. Through the ages, those who tried to reform or call for change to orthodox Islam have been killed as heretics or infidels. Thus it is felt that the sociological dictates of orthodox Islam, in many ways, are still mired in medieval thinking and dogmatic backwardness and are comparable to the days of pre-Reformation Christianity. Those were the days of the Dark Ages.

Maybe that's why American Muslims kept referring to me ( a WASP - White Angle Saxon Protestant ) in my former workplace, as a devil.

For them, when you're not a Muslim, you are a devil.

" for them if your not muslim your the devil "

Mostly by the fundamentalist who read the qoutes such as..

"" Do not take christians and jews as friends, they are of each other and are infidels ""

They can't look past this and see a human creature, and instead have this kind of hate towards them.

muslims who are not fundamentalist do not think like this because of their (conscience) telling them to not hate another human, which was given to
them by god implanted in their hearts.

conscience tells evrybody that hating another creature is wrong, this is how many muslims will be converted, and hopefully some fundamentalist.


Any maa who (kills) on his (own) judgement after the institution of the sacrament of confession and repentance has
broken the law of god.

This applies to our church members and all churches, and this is what our church teaches.


peace.

Do I have a vice-Pres ? If not, you're my new vice-Pres !

"The paradox of our era is that we is that we extend toleration to systems of belief that
are themselves intrinsically intolerant and abhorrent to modern consciousness."
