Islam doesn't even have a conception of free will on the part of an individual.

It's a religion more in line with collectivism. This is why all the leftists love the muslims.

This is not a conservative/liberal issue.
Every religion is a cult. It's funny how folks point fingers and claim other religions are cults, but not their own.

cult

/kʌlt/ Show Spelled [kuhlt] Show IPA
noun 1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.

2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.

3. the object of such devotion.

4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

5. Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.


Sounds a whole lot like Christianity, as well.

This question is an exercise in rank stupidity.

There's nothing about being white, christian, or politically conservative that has anything to do with disrespecting people.

When Islamic countries execute gays for being gay... What is your opinion of their religion?

Islam is a pretty conservative religion, even in its modern variants, in the dictionary sense of the word--I don't know why self-proclaimed conservatives are so loath to figure that out.

If they stay over THERE, I guess they are not too much of a menace.

Personally, I view the Headchoppers as quite insane!

Why is "white" even mentioned in your question?

It wasn't all that long ago that Christianity in America treated women in much the same way as Islam does today.
