Karen Armstrong: We cannot afford to maintain these ancient prejudices against Islam

Wow, where to start. She leaves out the conquest of southern Europe, the domination of Southeastern Europe for 500 years, the spread eastward into the Pacific, the clashes with all major religions, not just Christianity, the never ending terrorist attacks worldwide. It's only peaceful if you submit and obey.

They also discouraged conversion so the others would pay their bootlicking fee for being a non-muslim.

Ew dead Jew worshippers.

I'm old, can you say that in English, I'm assuming there was a point.

Who did Jesus die for?

Karen Armstrong: We cannot afford to maintain these ancient prejudices against Islam

A quote from the article:
"We simply cannot afford this type of bigotry. The trouble is that too many people in the western world unconsciously share this prejudice, convinced that Islam and the Qur'an are addicted to violence. The 9/11 terrorists, who in fact violated essential Islamic principles, have confirmed this deep-rooted western perception and are seen as typical Muslims instead of the deviants they really were."

Please show in the Quran where "essential Islamic principles" were violated on 9/11 .
Also, while you're at it, when a non believer is killed for being an infidel what principle or passage in the Quran is violated?

That 52 (?) virgins thing is quite a perk.

I never understood that. Who wants a virgin? I’d rather a girl that knows what she’s doing.

Unfortunately a virgin to a Muslim is considered an 8 year old child bride material.

52 wouldn't cut it? Just had to be 72.

You'll have to ask mohammed.
Maybe the peaceful religion doesn't preclude greed.

Sounds like Alabama.

Actually many did convert to avoid all that including having to give up a second son to convert and serve in their armies. Quite a few European Muslims in the Balkans.

Muslim men might feel pretty sexually insecure up in their cloud kingdom after having spent a lifetime hanging out at male-only sausage parties for anything that happened outside of the house. Virgins can’t complain to Mohammed Mohammed that Ted from next door laid the pipe 10x better.

I’d rather be single than date a whore, you don’t got to be a virgin, but if you ever ed a guy and every single one of his friends I’m good on dating the squad’s play toy.
