Muslim people (immigrants and British) have performed a galaxy of consistent good to our economy, culture and sensibility. It doesn't count one ounce of shit whether the guy next door is brown, white, believes in life on Mars, Elvis or whatfuckingever. He's your neighbour and you get on because chances are he wants the same things you do. You don't have to be bosom buddies but for fuck's sake just crack on.

The problem is that Islam may not be right and these good deeds may be in vein. Is homosexuality wrong? Are women second class citizens? Is the earth 6000 years old? All Muslim beliefs and all wrong. I'm disturbed when I see how fast these beliefs are spreading.

Don't just single out Islam for irrational,divisive claptrap,as all the other faiths piss in the same pot when it comes to giving your brain a vacation and signing up for superstitious fairy stories.
Q8-Blue said:The Quran is a religious text and like many religious texts has bits of wisdom and insight.
I'm not gonna sugar coat anything and tell you there aren't parts of the Quran that aren't violent, but these aspects were meant for a different time, place, society and different circumstances.
For example tell your friend that in the Quran, Jesus is mentioned more than muhammad. We have a whole chapter or Surra called Surrat Maryam or the Chapter of the Virgin Mary. It is dedicated to Jesus's story. We have the stories of Adam and Eve of Noah and Moses and so on. The Quran should just be taken in context as a religious text, like the Torah and the Bible.
Unfortunately some extremist muslims try to draw upon violent meaning of the Quran and interpret them out of context to fit their agenda. Its just their way of politicizing religion to gain personal power and legitimacy a good example of this would be Anjem Choudary, someone who knows nothing about religion (He was a pot smoking, alcohol drinking typical college kid growing up) and is using it to legitimize his fanatical hate group.
Really funny that !! Honest. Called him a friend as I've known him years don't even see him enough these days to call him a friend.nijinsky's fetlocks said:'Friend of mine in the EDL'.
