What if Muslims ruled the world?

This and the flogging and hanging of a troubled 13 year old, the flogging of an elderly lady who spent time alone in the company of her grandson's friend after he got her bread when she was not allowed out to buy it, the stoning of many, the amputation of many, the flogging of many.

The total covering of a young girls so their skin never feels the sun and wind, the female genital mutilation. My concerns about Islam are legion and I wish the it was so with the rest of the world.

Don't ya' just love religion?

Take a look at what true Christians (tm) did during the inquisitions.

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

— Steven Weinberg, in "Freethought Today", April, 2000

"I think enormous harm is done by religion — not just in the name of religion, but actually by religion. ... Many people do simply awful things out of sincere religious belief, not using religion as a cover the way that Saddam Hussein may have done, but really because they believe that this is what God wants them to do, going all the way back to Abraham being willing to sacrifice Isaac because God told him to do that. Putting God ahead of humanity is a terrible thing."

— Steven Weinberg

EDIT:

Heartless noted, "the Inquisition was long ago. Iran is now. Your comparison is lame."

OK. Let's look at Christianity recently:

The Holocaust was based on ideas spread for hundreds of years by the Catholic and Protestant churches. Germany was a nation of Christians, and Hitler used Christianity as a reason for his actions.

Five evangelical Christian leaders signed the "Land Letter" to George W Bush in 2002 affirming a Christian theological basis to invade Iraq.

87% of all white evangelical Christians in the U.S. supported former President George W Bush's decision to go to war.

80% of white evangelical Christian voters voted for George W Bush in 2004.

Prohibition on fetal stem cell uses is almost totally based on Christian principles. This prevents or delays research that could help many (and perhaps most) people.

Anti-science fervor is largely based on Christian or Muslim principles, depending on the dominant religion.

Isn't it ironic how over there, they'll do horrible things to innocent people, but over here, we're too sissy to do those sort of things to people that have raped and killed up to twenty people?

Our world would be a much different place if they ruled the world, but with them or not, it's still going to **** because we're to sissy to say, "Enough, you raped a little girl, we'll give you twenty bullets in the leg and then let you bleed to death."

They're to sick over there, and we're not sick enough. What country is in between? Oh, that's right, Australia. I'm moving there.

If Muslims ruled the world,

though it may be more moral,

you would be so bored,

that your head would feel like coral.

In the days of Ceasar my friend

we drank wine and beer

and such joy would be no more

if Muslims ruled here.

4. YOU shall NOT commit adultery, either physically, individually, or spiritually, nationally or individually but shall be FAITHFUL to God, your word and your spouse, also NOT committing adultery nationally by following the wrong examples of other nations.

Mat5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled.

5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least COMMANDments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven.

My Western friends who've married Christian men from those countries have been regularly beaten and their children traumatized because that's the culture of loser nations. And people claim not to understand why the U.S. invaded Iraq!

Not all muslims are radicals! Iran has some messed up laws because they are run by the radical ayatollah, but most muslims are tolerant and NORMAL people. Radicals like these are largely in the minority, just like radical christians are in the minority here in the western world.

I have a rough idea what it would be like. I guess I'd be part of the rebel alliance.

It wouldn't make any difference in what I believed. And anything after that is just window dressing.

Why can't those weapons of mass destruction self-detonate?
