Have you seen this bullshit?

There is something fundamentally wrong with our values when something like this is considered “Free Speech”...doesn’t the fact that these ads incites hate count for something??

I’m a Jew and so many times have been embarrassed by those of my faith...
Just unbelievable...

Anyone who reads the Quran will discover that it honors Jews and Christians for believing in one God and calls on all believers to live in peace and harmony," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.


KORAN commands to kill infidels:

Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2 8

On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191

Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God's entirely. - Sura 2:193 and 8:39

Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.

..... martyrs.... Enter heaven - Surah 3:140-43

If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all they riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered. - 3:157-8

You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. - Surah 3:169-71

Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward. - Surah 4 4

I thought Christians, Jews, and Muslims all believed in the same God, they just differed in who they considered prophets.

So any commandments to 'unbelievers' would be referring to people other than Muslims, Jews, and Christians, no?

If that is the case this shit is more fucked up than I thought.

Stop all the killing on both sides.

I hate religion

If it was the case they should show the passage in the Koran instead of just saying it's in there.

Look at all the crazy stuff in the old and new testament

I’ve always thought that all SkyGods are Ponzi Schemes...

True spirituality resides in one’s soul... Thats what I believe..

If anything it seems like the farther apart religions are theologically, the less likely they are to exterminate themselves.
