[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My humble suggestion would be to become more devout in your own faith of Chrustianity or Judaism first. The devout Christians and Jews I know are kind and compassionate people who have never been accusatory, suspicious, or hostile towards my faith. [/quote]

This is the argument equivalent of moving the goal post. Don't like Islam? It's because you are not devout enough. Only those who are not accusatory, suspicious, or hostile towards Islam are devout enough. [/quote]

What is it you hope to hear? I am a practicing Muslim and I love my faith. 1.6 bil people practice Islam, probably 1.5 of them peacefully. [b]They can't all be misguided fools.[/b] I am not an expert in it but know enough to refute your assertions. If you were sincerely curious, you would call those with far greater understanding. I am comfortable with the points I made. Sorry you aren't convinced.[/quote]

Why not? At one point, most of the world believed the earth was flat, or that the sun revolved around the earth, or that there was some rational validity to the claims of a royal bloodline in terms of nation ruling. Humans are currently ignorant of the true cause of consciousness, the beginnings of our universe, and a multitude of other things we wonder about. We don't just throw our hands up and say "well, we don't know, therefore God". As human knowledge and literacy rates increase, religion has been seceding ground in return. It is in fact the current argument that the Muslim world is in such turmoil compared to Christian countries is because it has lower literacy rates and never went through a period of reformation where the belief system was allowed to be modernized. This is why Christianity, while still a larger religion by practitioners than Islam, does not have a problem with fundamentalism nearly to the degree of Islam. When denominations like the Westboro Baptist Church voice their bigotry, they are ridiculed and shunned. Meanwhile, Islam apologists try to divert the conversation of the Charlie Hebdo attack away from fundamentalism and towards one of economic and political oppression. Problems are multi-faceted, I agree, but you lose credibility when you refuse to address the face value of facts and instead insist that there is some other hidden meaning/cause, which only an Islam authority can reveal correctly. It's a circular argument, ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst.

In the "earth-was-believed-to-be-flat" theory, groundbreaking revelation ultimately disproved their belief. There is no ground breaking revelation to disprove the existence of God. So you should withhold your accusation until the existence of God is disproved. All believers in God know that the truth will be manifest on the Day of Judgment. Many people who were former staunch atheists have had NDE's which turned them into believers. The creation of life by random events is so unlikely that it has never been repeated. The statistical probability of such random occurrences that just happened to produce intelligent life is absurdly low, almost making it impossible. Moreover, the perfection of the human body is so astounding that it is ridiculous to assume it occured by chance. There must be a Creator. The Quran mentioned how mankind was created, mentioned sperm, the early gestational periods, mentioned planets that travelled in orbits, that almost all life forms come in pairs of male and female. It mentioned that salt water and fresh water were kept separate with a barrier.

You need not believe in what others believe. But why  so angry if others think differently?
