It depends on who is in power. How do you think the powerful Ottoman Empire operated? It had all faiths within the kingdom the freedom to practice their faiths.

Of course Jesus was a Jew. But the Jewish leadership just didn't want to accept him as their savior, but Jesus was here for everyone, not just them.

Just like the Lutherans broke away from the corrupt Catholic Church..the Church that Jesus started but was corrupted by sin. But still based on the same thing.

Mohamed was not a holy man. He was a creep.
Christianity has to be decided on and argued over.... Not nearly as holy as the bible being the word of God...

Amazing how much of Christianity resembles the pagan cultures that preceded it but that's how you get a religion started... Convince the natives to join it by emulating their religion.

Freedom of religion did not exist in the Ottoman Empire. Apostasy was punishable by death.

Answer: nowhere.

Genital mutilation is cultural. It's not mandated by religion.

And Sharia law is not something that is set in stone. Each Islamic theocracy has a different legal code, with some profound differences. How do YOU explain that? I'm asking you because you seem to think of yourself as an expert on Islam and Sharia law.
"Genital mutilation is cultural. It's not mandated by religion."

I'll listen to the Muslims in their countries like Moderate Indonesia to tell me it's an Islamic practice and not an internet know it all. Everyone knows it originally came from African tribes, but it took Islam to bring the practice all over the world. Look into it, you may learn something about your own religion.

"Many Indonesian women carry out the religion part of their religion"

Don't have time to wade through several pages of posts so......


There is already a large Somali population in parts of Minnesota, they have been there for some time and IIRC started as refugees were resettled in that state. Try getting a taxi in any of the larger Minnesota areas or near airports, chances are the driver will be a Somali. Long story short it isn't wholly "Rose Nylund" land anymore. Well maybe "St. Olaf" but Saint Paul is a different matter.

If Jesus was a Jew and even the Jews, his own people didn't accept him and thought he was a fraud, then why would I accept him when I'm black, not Jewish, and 2000 years removed from the situation and didn't see any of that stuff firsthand.

If I didn't see it, it's hearsay. He walked on water? He gave a dead man life? Really?

Answer this: what's more likely...that a man will tell a lie, or that nature as we know it will go out of its normal course?

You know the answer, and if you doubt it, go walk on water yourself and tell me how it went.

Wake up dude. Don't let your life be regulated by ancient superstitions.

So Youtube videos are not real even when they're published by UNICEF, CNN, the World Health Organization and others
