Eight Stand Trial in France Over Beheading of Teacher Samuel Paty
I don't know how you judge between "good" and "bad" religions. I'm not trying to label Islam as a "bad" religion. I am calling attention to the fact that use of violence to achieve religious and secular goals- such as punishing what Islam considers blasphemy- is one of the core tenets of Islam. The killer of Samueel Paty wasn't a "bad" Muslim, he was a "good" Muslim acting as his faith commanded him. This isn't the right thread (or board) for lengthy quotations from the Quran, Sunna and Hadiths. But here's what a mainstream academic type says about violence and Islam. Dr. Tina Magaard -- a Sorbonne-trained Danish linguist "specializing in textual analysis -- published detailed research findings in 2005 (summarized in 2007) comparing the foundational texts of ten major religions. Magaard concluded from her hard data-driven analyses: "The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree. There are also straightforward calls for terror. This has long been a taboo in the research into Islam, but it is a fact that we need to deal with." LINK You can find extensive proof of Islam's inherent advocacy of violence in these books available from Amazon: That's an absurd comparison. Catholic priests who molest children are acting AGAINST the tenets of Catholicism and, according to Church doctrine, will burn in Hell for eternity for their sins. Muslims who behead blasphemers are acting IN ACCORDANCE with their faith and will be rewarded in Paradise. xxxx It's not at all wrong, pragmatically or in principle. In a secular country like France with both freedom of religion and freedom of religion, Muslims are free to obey and venerate the Prophet Mohammad. However, they can't force their beliefs on others. The prohibition against images of the Prophet is part of Islamic dogma and doctrine which non-believers don't have to honor or follow. Muslims have to accept that it's perfectly legal in France to criticize or caricature any religious figure. If they don't like it, they should live in a country which does prohibit such caricatures. Paty was following a lesson plan that had been approved by school authorities. He gave Muslim students the opportunity not to look at the images of the Prophet. He did nothing wrong. -
