Re: I Don't Like It
Islam's book, the Quran states that the ultimate goal of Islam is to conquer the world for Islam
where, specifically? one could make a similar case for christianity -- we are told to go and convert the world. we evangelize because we think it's right, and for the good of the world. can you make the case that islam means violent overthrow, as opposed to peaceful conversion?
in the old testament, remember, the jews are promised a land and told to anhilate the people who live there, without exception. the bible specifically advocates genocide in this instance. so remember that violent underpinnings do not neccessarily equal all followers being violent. the mainstream tends to shy away from that kind of thing these days.

Re: I Don't Like It
he also didn't answer the second part of my question, which regarded differentiating islamic verses regarding genocide and killing infidels from judeo-christian ones, and demonstrating that the standard orthodoxy of islam promotes these as literal commandments for the present, where the jewish orthodoxy does not for their similar passages.
because if it's JUST the fundamentalists, we can't blame the WHOLE religion.

just ask kevin smith
Again this does not change the fact that Xians get riled up in the same way and threaten people with death over imagery.
he got several death threats regarding "dogma." there's a great story he tells about showing up to protest his own movie.
of course, had the protest been larger, someone might have recognized him.
