Islam’s ideology is immoral to its core. Should we ask the Haigue and U.N. to rule

I think if you're going to call Islam an ideology, you have to first define ideology. Then, you have to define other religion's ideologies. Like, Christianity and Judaism. Because the term ideology is usually used in reference to political or economic systems, it's harder for me to think of something that could or has formed the basis for Christianity's ideology, though I'm sure plenty of things exist. With Islam and Judaism it's much easier because I know of clear examples that qualify for the definition I've identified. There's Zionism, Israel, the idea of a "chosen people" for Judaism, which all tie into what might be called Judaism's ideology. Obviously, most people know that not all Jews believe in all those things, even though there's scriptural basis for that idea. With Islam, there's a slew of ideas like Sharia law that terrorists have used to justify their violence against nonbelieving people. Same as with Judaism, most people know that not all Muslims believe in these ideas that could nonetheless be called Islam's ideology.

Let's be honest with whom? People have already identified Islamism as a problem that needs to be dealt with. I will concede that perhaps more can and should be done to deal with Islamic terrorism. What I don't understand is some people's need to conflate a clearly destructive belief system with the faith that millions of people practice.

If you didn't get that last part: the faith that millions of people practice.

So, should we declare war against this immoral ideology?

If by ideology you mean the faith that millions of people practice, the answer is obviously no.

The thing is, you talk about what Christians did say 500 years ago and then blame Christians now for it ,it is absurd.

There are many branches of the Christian religion. Even the Mormons believe in Jesus.

Quote:

I disagree with your premise. And as I said before, a long time ago, you have to define ideology otherwise I find it incredibly unfair for you to be picking and choosing every single thing in which you find morally abhorrent that formerly existed or presently exists in Muslim communities and say each and every one of those things are part and parcel of Islam's ideology. I disagree with practices that exist in some or even many Muslim communities, because they clearly do not belong in the twenty-first century.

If you really need ideology defined, try the dictionary. I am not inventing new words or interpretations of that word.

Quote:

However, practices such as these should not delegitimize Islam and the people who practice Islam, believing in their God and his message.

You come up with a list of atrocities committed by Chrisitans.
This list is a rather clear anti Catholic list.
They mention rumours and there might have been.... it is partly without facts.
Of course there are Christians who have not lived a Christian life
This man here is mentioned as a Catholic - I have not found anyhting which points to him doing these things because he is a Catholic.
Ante Pavelić ; was a Croatian fascist dictator who led the Ustaše movement and the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), established in parts of occupied Yugoslavia during World War II with the support of both Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. While in power, Pavelić pursued genocidal policies against ethnic and racial minorities such as Serbs, Jews, and Romani

To be fair you cannot just start to list things which happened hundred of years ago and compare them with what is going on now.

A lot changed over the centuries.
Christians were against slavery - just to mention one thing.
Politicians with a Christian background have been behind an equal life for their citizens what education, social benefits, healthcare - the list is long.

If you want to fair compare a list of bad and good things and see which one wins.

Well, okay. Ideology, according to the google dictionary, is a set of ideas. Cicerone already told you the five pillars of Islam. They're called pillars because they're fundamental.

1.1 Shahada: Faith.
1.2 Salat: Prayer.
1.3 Zakāt: Charity.
1.4 Sawm: Fasting.
1.5 Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca.

You tell me which is immoral to its core.
