I am not sure what to make of that statement, forgive my cynicism, but it seems rather loaded, never the less, I am of the opinion that the vast majority of Muslims are peace loving persons, who like the rest of us, want to see their kids grow up happy and healthy, therefore it appears to me that Muslims are not to blame, but it is Islam itself that is inherently evil.

Oh Robbie! You little U-turner you!! 😵
Recall the following exchanges from your other "well balanced" thread:

Karoly: Of course there are literally millions of Muslims who dont live like that, they live meaningful, intelligent, rich lives.
Robbie Carrobie: there are equally millions who do not. [my emphasis]

Palynka: So why do you pick and choose these ones as representatives of Islamic justice?
Robbie Carrobie: because the law is enshrined in the laws of an entire state, that being the Islamic republic of Pakistan, a government representative of an entire Islamic community, that is why! If it is not representative of Islamic justice, then what is it doing in the statute books of an Islamic state, enforced and enacted upon by Muslims?

I disagree; at least as far as the non-fundamentalist types are concerned. True, the fundies are batsh** crazy, but that can equally be said of fundy Christians.

I have a number of friends who are muslims and though I have no access to their innermost thoughts they present no reason to suspect they have any desires to be or endorse the fiends as exemplified in their more reality-disjoint fundamentalist counterparts.

gulp, sussed again! The other instances are correct, Pakistan do as a government have a blasphemy law, the Iranian incident clearly shows how Islam has superseded those laws of government.

If you want to be respected for your religion, then you have to respect other religions.
If you don't respect other religions you cannot expect respect for your religion.

Then you will at the same time accept that people don't respect the JW where you belong? Because, as I stated before, there are several reasons to disrespect JW, as you already know. Don't you care about that?

Don't treat others as you don't like to be treated yourself, as a wise man once said...

I think you should stop your crucade, based on your opinions, and nothing else.
