No its not. Whether you like it or not, it is demonstrably true. Do I think people that come from Arab nations are inherently dumber? I do not. I do believe however that they are intellectually stifled by their religion.

I am right all i say.

Islam is the only divine religion.

Islam has always been a religion since the first people.

But people changed their religion in history and gave names like Hinduism and Christianity.

And this change has always been done in the direction of Spiritualism/Paganism, polytheism.

Ghosts, polytheism (Hindus saying "333 in 1", you are saying "3 in 1", holy people, asceticism, fakirism...

Real Islam, real religion is only in Quran now.

Get off the kool-aid. All Religions think they are right and divine. I've yet to hear one that wasn't nonsense including Islam...no especially Islam. Try science, it works.

You are who has not read enough scientific books.
Get a job...get a life. Learn something real...not an absurd mythology based on the rantings of a murderous pedophile from the 7the century. Pay attention to humans who actually study chemistry, biology, physics and math. Start treating women as equals. Stop beating your women as the Koran instructs you to. Enough with honor killings Put sharia law in the toilet where it belongs. Draw human characters....play music..sing songs...join the 21st century.

Try Plato, Marcus Aurelius, David Hume, Spinoza, Thomas Paine Thomas Jefferson Tolstoy or Christopher Hitchens or Salman Rushdie. Get your head out of the Dark Ages. Learn something useful, not mythical.

You and the world will be better for it.

Lies. Islam is a copy of a copy of a watered down religion (Judaisim). Islam took the same mythological war god the Jews and then the Christians worshipped and modified it further for their own purposes. Now you are trying to modify it further. Do you see yourself as a prophet? Are you trying to start your own islamic branch/sect/cult?

Have you actually read the Upanishads? They pre date the Quran by a couple of thousand years, and they say we are all divine.
Give your mind a rest from the evil lies in the Quran and read the Upanishads. They are truly spiritual.

What the hell are you talking about. Not only does the Quran tell men to beat their wives. It says strike the necks of unbelievers (meaning behead them) and cut off their finger tips also.

This is false. Wife-beating is condoned in the quran.

https://quran.com/4/34
Quote:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
I wonder if Emre understands how dishonest he is making Muslims look.

Also not true. Please quote the Surah, or admit you were wrong, and that this injunction is actually in the Hadiths.

Wherein you add some nuance, which was needed. Personally, I have a real problem talking about entire peoples as category X or Y. It never ends well.

I too have a problem with that. I probably should have used the term Muslim as opposed to Arab. As the problem is the ideology and has nothing to do with race.

It saddens me that people living in the light of discovery are still promoting legend and mythology. There is something fundamentally wrong in the Muslim world that has led to a dearth of modern education and critical thinking. And their society and the world has paid a price for that in possible inventions and poverty.

Peace
Did you write your own book? As you sure as hell aren't talking about the Quran as it specifically tells husbands to beat arrogant or disobedient wives. It orders you to kill apostates. The problem is you're not talking about Islam. But that's OK, most Christians don't know what's in their bible either.

Abraham was not a muslim. Islam was made up centuries after Abraham was supposed to have lived. Your religous and historical knowledge sucks.

No, only if you shop around for one of 10 possible meanings of the problematic word, and choose one that you think helps you.
Moreover, that verse only applies to a husband beating his wife, and is by no means an injunction against any other form of person-to-person violence.
You said 'slap' in your original post. None of what you linked to here refers to slapping either.

I'm pretty sure both Abraham and Mohamed are Mormons.

I think Muhammad helped Joseph Smith find those gold plates.

The Qur'an is only allowed to defend itself. Everyone is free to believe in what they want and this is the goal of the world of examination. To confront yourself.

Yep, and we're not interested in reading silly mythologies.

You don't even bother to actually defend your claims at a skeptics forum. This is the place where you present a claim and present evidence to support it and openly see if your claim stands up to scrutiny. Not send us elsewhere on a wild goose chase.

Defend your claim vigorously or be gone.
