Islam forces people to revert to the stone age, accept mutilation of a person, female castration, burying people up to their necks and then use rocks to bash their heads in....
It demands you believe literally ever word in the koran, demands that women take a lower position in society than dogs and brings back the us and them tribe mentality....
Look, France wanted this multi-ethnic society, now they have it, not working out? TS
The only correlation I see between France and America is France is a welfare state and America is turning into one...
France has done the complete opposite of wanting a multi-ethnic society. They have pushed the supremacy of "Frenchness" onto immigrants and have in the process marginalized them, helping create an environment that breeds extremism. Countries that don't have such strong notions of national cultural identity like the US and UK have done a far better job of integrating and fostering liberalism among Muslim immigrants.

Better check your history. The castration procedure has roots in ancient Africa, predating Islam and not related to Islam. This procedure has been performed all over Europe, including the UK, at one time or another. Some African cultures continue to practice this procedure.
Stoning has its roots in the Old Testament. It eventually stopped .
Stoning was once a common punishment imposed on adulturers in some Muslim countries. The Western World became more aware of this as a result of the Iran invasion. It has since been outlawed. It's increasingly uncommon except in the more remote third world areas, governed by local warlords.

Stoning has a basis from some weird interpretation of religious text. Basically adulterers are to be caged until death unless God shows some symbol and they can be released. So when stoning is done, there is a clause the person will be spared if they can escape, this is taken to be God's symbol. But stoning is a religious punishment not a tribal one. In tribal societies that only pay lip service to their religion, women who cheat on their husbands are killed by the husband very unimaginatively (shot, strangled, what people do in the US when angry at their women). When stoning is done, it's done by the entire community. Sometimes the children of the woman are invited to participate.
These distinctions need to be made. Stoning is a communal punishment where this does not occur generally in tribal law, the man takes care of business himself.
And I'm a hard sell, because I rarely find any humor when it comes to religion. I'm more apt to cry from the ridiculousness of it all.
But hey...if you like it, I love it. (For you)
It works for me, but I certainly wouldn't run around encouraging people to become Jewish. If someone wanted to convert, I'd accept and embrace them as a fellow Jew...but we do not seek converts.
As do I, although Judaism isn't quite as bad as the other two (IMHO). They have their share of fanatics, but there are relatively fewer of them.
Both Jesus and Muhammad were Jews and share a common heritage and culture.
Muhammad created Islam to unite people to the original monotheism of the Arab lands.
Religion and politics have gone hand in hand since forever.
Extremists exist in every culture.

Although Jesus was a Jew, Mohammed was not. Both, however were semitic people.
