The same way you think you know Christianity better than the white men who invented the religion and have abandoned it due to it falsehoods. .... bunch of insane nairaland Christians.
Wrong. Christianity was invented by Semites (Hebrews) and Islam was also invented by Semites (Arabs). Armenia was the first Christian religious country. It is above Iran and Iraq, smack bang in the middle-east. The Romans, Greeks, Celts and Franks did not invent Christianity, they merely spread it. A lot of majority muslim countries were once majority Christian, Zoroastrian, Buddhist etc. countries which were invaded by Islamic empires and placed under Jizya to convert the population (Christianity did this as well to be fair).

So far all of your arguments involve parallels, but I have yet to see you address the actual problems of your religion and it's practitioners!

Neither did I see you in the thread where atheist china barred Muslims from using Islamic names.
China is mainly repressing Uyghur people in the Northwest and using islam as an excuse. They do the same with Tibet. It is just another step towards removing the rights of Uyghur people. (Keep in mind that Muslims did the exact same thing to the Buddhist Uyghur people just a few hundred years ago though - even vandalising scratching out the faces of thousand year old Buddhist murals and wall paintings).

This does not change the fact that islam is a barbarous and backwards religion.


And at the end of the day, what's worse? Some names getting banned, or innocent people getting executed?

A LIST OF SHARIA LAWS

(Please note numbers 1, 10, 13, 18 and 34)

1- Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.

2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.

3- A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.

4- A percentage of Zakat (charity money) must go towards jihad.

5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.

6- A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.

7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph if he rejects Islam.

8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.

9- A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of: 1) an apostate 2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Vigilante street justice and honor killing is acceptable.

10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim, but will get it for killing a Muslim.

11- Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave
.
12- Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, flogging even for crimes of sin such as adultery.

13- Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law. They must comply to Islamic law if they are to remain safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women, publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or openly celebrate their religious holidays or funerals. They are forbidden from building new churches or building them higher than mosques. They may not enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no longer protected if he leads a Muslim away from Islam.

14- It is a crime for a non-Muslim to sell weapons to someone who will use them against Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot curse a Muslim, say anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam, or expose the weak points of Muslims. But Muslims can curse non-Muslims.

15- A non-Muslim cannot inherit from a Muslim.

16- Banks must be Sharia compliant and interest is not allowed.

17- No testimony in court is acceptable from people of low-level jobs, such as street sweepers or bathhouse attendants. Women in low level jobs such as professional funeral mourners cannot keep custody of their children in case of divorce.

18- A non-Muslim cannot rule — even over a non-Muslim minority.

19- Homosexuality is punishable by death.

20- There is no age limit for marriage of girls. The marriage contract can take place anytime after birth and can be consummated at age 8 or 9.

21- Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.

22- Divorce is only in the hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: “I divorce you” and becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.

23- There is no community property between husband and wife and the husband’s property does not automatically go to the wife after his death

24- A woman inherits half what a man inherits.

25- A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and none of them have a right to divorce him — even if he is polygamous.

26- The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs.

27- A man is allowed to have sex with slave women and women captured in battle, and if the enslaved woman is married her marriage is annulled.

28- The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man.

29- A woman loses custody if she remarries.

30- To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.

31- A rapist may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim.

32- A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body, which is considered “Awrah,” a sexual organ. Not all Sharia schools allow the face of a woman exposed.

33- A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife at the time he caught her in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women, since the man “could be married to the woman he was caught with.”

34-It is obligatory for a Muslim to lie if the purpose is obligatory. That means that for the sake of abiding with Islam’s commandments, such as jihad, a Muslim is obliged to lie and should not have any feelings of guilt or shame associated with this kind of lying[truncated by WhatsApp]

Are you excusing this innocent man's death at the hands of these thugs?

According to a 2012 Gallup poll, ~20% of Saudi Arabians classify as either atheist or non-religious. Sourcesadhttp://www.wingia.com/web/files/news/14/file/14.pdf)

That's over 6 million people, 1/5th of Saudi Arabia's population. Many more are religious but do not support execution and blasphemy laws.
I guess 1/5th of the population is to be treated as second class citizens hm? Many more if you count the fact that women are legally the same level of citizen as small children, are forced to wear ugly black sheets over themselves, are not allowed to drive and are generally treated like shit by the wahhabi brutes that control the country.

Saudi Arabia is a disgusting terrorist spawning country, where groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Boko Haram are funded from. The only reason it hasn't been destroyed is because it sells Oil lasciviously to the United States and is an enemy of Iran.

eyeview:
The atheist think it's Jesus that they insult up and down and walk Scot free.

This is why most atheists prefer to insult Christ, the church and Christians but cowardly avoid Islam.

To every atheist reading this, that you are able to come on social media to insult and desecrate Christ without this kind of instant justice shows you are already enjoying Christ's grace purchased by His blood on the cross. So enjoy.
Actually, the ability to be atheist and have freedom of religion in Western countries was primarily pushed by atheists along with rational thinkers, and civil rights groups. Christians and the Church had nothing to goddamn do with the separation of Church and State, in fact they have tried to demonise and repress atheists for an extremely long time, all the way up to around about the 70s in Western nations, 40+ years ago. It still occurs in Egypt with the Coptic church, and it still happens in ultra-Christian nations like Nigeria.

Lol wahala.

All we want is peace. Peace from tribalism, religious bigotry, the killings , the insults, the fighting over land and money etc.


Lets just have PEACE.
BULLSHIT.

Islamic countries are some of the most violent and backwards countries on earth, with rampant sexist treatment, abuse and repression of women, rampant pedophilia, mass executions, jailing and mob violence towards people who disagree with and criticise the muslim faith, and extreme bigotry towards ethnic/religious minorities.

The countries with the highest gap between genders in GDP and education are ALWAYS MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

The countries with the highest rates of rape and molestation are ALWAYS MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

The countries with the highest levels of pedophilia, and indeed the countries where pedophilia is LEGAL are ALWAYS MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

The countries with the higherst rates of domestic violence, and violence against women are ALWAYS MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

The countries with the highest rates of executions are almost ALWAYS MUSLIM COUNTRIES.

The only countries on earth where criticism of religion is illegal by law and punishable by jail or death are ALL. MUSLIM. COUNTRIES.

A large number newspaper writers, atheists, non-muslims, scientists and political critics have been murdered by assassins, gangs and angry street mobs, from Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Jordan, Egypt, Afghanistan, etc. ALL of these countries are MUSLIM MAJORITY.

"Peace"!? WHAT PEACE? The "Peace" nonsense is a lie - nothing but PR to sell the religion!

Islam is a religion of fake peace. It is a religion of control, abuse, chauvinism and subjugation. It is a religion of war.

Regarding Fulani muslim culture, they have one of the most disgusting practices on EARTH - even other conservative muslims shy away from them! They have a tradition where CHILDREN are married to 40 year old MEN, and where wives are abused and beaten half to death by their husbands as a sign of "love"! Fucking disgusting, the worst of the worst of Islam! No wonder so many joined groups like Boko Haram!
Nearby Berber muslim people are much MUCH better with their culture - where such acts of horror are frowned upon AND RIGHTLY SO.

The less muslims the better!

Christianity EtcThe Average Income Of A Pastor Of A Mega Church In The United States by CyrusTheGreat(op): 4:19am On May 01, 2017
http://work.chron.com/average-income-pastor-mega-church-9682.html

The Average Income of a Pastor of a Mega Church
by Elise Wile

Megachurches attract large crowds of people to services.

Megachurches are large churches that have congregations of more than 2,000 people. They can almost be economies unto themselves, with large campuses that include gyms, bookstores, daycare centers, coffee shops and other amenities. They are growing in popularity, particularly in the southern and western parts of the United States. Pastors who work at these churches can expect a salary that is higher than that of their peers who are pastoring smaller congregations.

Pay
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for a member of the clergy is $45,440 annually. However, megachurch pastors can expect to make significantly more. A survey conducted by the Leadership Network, an organization created for the advancement of the Christian church, megachurch pastors earned an average of $147,000 annually, with some pastors earning as much as $400,000.


Types

While working as a pastor in a megachurch pays more than smaller churches, the position you occupy as a pastor also affects your income. Executive pastors earn an average of $99,000 a year, while worship pastors earn an average of $75,000. A youth pastor at a megachurch earns an average of $54,000. The amount of money the megachurch brings in, however, drastically affects earning potential. Churches with a budget of more than $10 million pay their executive pastors almost $100,000 more than megachurches with a budget of less than $2 million.

Outlook
Megachurch attendance continues to grow, creating new job opportunities for pastors interested in working in this environment. Such churches grew by 8 percent each year during the past five years, according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. People younger than 49 years old make up the bulk of the congregations, a sign of church vitality. Only 36 percent of megachurches report a decline in income due to the recession. Typically, 45 percent of a megachurch's budget goes to pay its staff.

Benefits
Many megachurches offer substantial benefit packages in addition to a salary. While megachurches do not typically provide a parsonage, many offer a housing allowance, which is often factored into the salary. Pastors also often have retirement plans, and 47 percent of megachurches contribute 8 percent or more of the pastor's salary to these plans, according to the Leadership Network's "2012 Large Church Salary Report." Megachurch pastors may also be offered health-insurance benefits, life insurance and other benefits similar to those offered by secular companies.

Please actually read a book on Egyptian culture and history, because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Egyptian gods and ancient Egyptian culture have not been practiced in Egypt for a very long time. In fact some islamists have actually attacked people for practicing traditional Egyptian traditions and holidays because they think that they are "pagan" or "christian".

Egypt was invaded and forcibly arabised/islamified. That's why everyone there speaks Arabic even though Coptic is the original native language of Egypt, descended from the Egyptian languages from the time of the Pharaohs. A lot of Egyptians do not know much beyond pop culture facts about their country's ancient history. They most certainly would not know of any theories connecting ancient Egyptian mythology with Christian beliefs on Jesus.

Who, What, Why: Who are the Yazidis?

Among the many victims of the advance of The Islamic State (IS) in the Middle East are a group of up to 50,000 Yazidis, who are trapped in the mountains in northwest Iraq without food or water. Author Diana Darke explains who these mysterious religious adherents are.
Suddenly thrust into the limelight by their plight, the Yazidis will not welcome the glare of international attention. On account of their unusual beliefs, they are often unjustly referred to as "devil worshippers", and have traditionally held themselves apart in small communities mainly scattered across northwest Iraq, northwest Syria and southeast Turkey.

Estimating their current numbers is difficult, with figures ranging from 70,000 to 500,000. Feared, vilified and persecuted, there is no doubt the population has dwindled considerably over the course of the past century. Like other minority religions of the region, such as the Druze and the Alawis, it is not possible to convert to Yazidism, only to be born into it.

The ongoing persecution in their heartland of the Mt Sinjar region west of Mosul is based on a misunderstanding of their name. Sunni extremists, such as IS, believe it derives from Yazid ibn Muawiya (647-683), the deeply unpopular second caliph of the Umayyad dynasty. Modern research, however, has clarified that the name is nothing to do with the loose-living Yazid, or the Persian city of Yazd, but is taken from the modern Persian "ized", which means angel or deity. The name Izidis simply means "worshippers of god", which is how Yazidis describe themselves.

Celebrating New YearImage copyrightROBERT LEUTHEUSER

Their own name for themselves is Daasin (plural Dawaaseen), which is taken from the name of an old Nestorian - the Ancient Church of the East - diocese, for many of their beliefs are derived from Christianity. They revere both the Bible and the Koran, but much of their own tradition is oral. Due in part to its secrecy, there have been misunderstandings that the complex Yazidi faith is linked to Zoroastrianism with a light/dark duality and even sun worship. Recent scholarship, however, has shown that although their shrines are often decorated with the sun and that graves point east towards the sunrise, they share many elements with Christianity and Islam.

Children are baptised with consecrated water by a pir (priest). At weddings he breaks bread and gives one half to the bride and the other to the groom. The bride, dressed in red, visits Christian churches. In December, Yazidis fast for three days, before drinking wine with the pir. On 15-20 September there is an annual pilgrimage to the tomb of Sheikh Adi at Lalesh north of Mosul, where they carry out ritual ablutions in the river. They also practise sacrifice of animals and circumcision.

Their supreme being is known as Yasdan. He is considered to be on such an elevated level that he cannot be worshipped directly. He is considered a passive force, the Creator of the world, not the preserver. Seven great spirits emanate from him of which the greatest is the Peacock Angel known as Malak Taus - active executor of the divine will. The peacock in early Christianity was a symbol of immortality, because its flesh does not appear to decay. Malak Taus is considered God's alter ego, inseparable from Him, and to that extent Yazidism is monotheistic.

Yazidis pray to Malak Taus five times a day. His other name is Shaytan, which is Arabic for devil, and this has led to the Yazidis being mislabeled as "devil-worshippers". The Yazidis believe that souls pass into successive bodily forms (transmigration) and that gradual purification is possible through continual rebirth, making Hell redundant. The worst possible fate for a Yazidi is to be expelled from his community, as this means their soul can never progress. Conversion to another religion is, therefore, out of the question.
In remote areas of southeast Turkey towards the Syrian and Iraqi borders, their once-abandoned villages are starting to come back to life, with new houses being built by the communities themselves. Many Yazidis are returning from exile now that the Turkish government leaves them undisturbed. Despite centuries of persecution the Yazidis have never abandoned their faith, testimony to their remarkable sense of identity and strength of character. If they are driven from Iraq and Syria by IS extremists, the likelihood is that more will settle in southeast Turkey where they are left to live out their beliefs in peace.

Yazidis gather to celebrate New Year in Dohuk, 18 April 2017



The 36 liberated Yazidis were taken to Dohuk in Kurdish northern Iraq

Thirty-six members of the Yazidi religious minority are free after nearly three years in the hands of so-called Islamic State (IS), the UN says.
They have been taken to UN centres in Dohuk in Kurdish northern Iraq.

It is unclear whether they escaped in Iraq or were freed, as the UN declined to give more information to avoid jeopardising future releases.
IS killed and enslaved thousands of Yazidis after seizing the northern town of Sinjar in 2014.

Kurdish Peshmerga forces regained control in 2015 but many Yazidis were held captive by IS elsewhere as the group took over large swathes of northern Iraq.

The 36 survivors include men, women and children who were enslaved, the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

Nadia Murad was held captive as a sex slave - she tells the BBC's Hardtalk how she escaped

BBC: How did you manage to escape?

Nadia Murad: The first time I tried to escape I was with the
first man who raped me and treated me badly.

I thought to myself "I must run away" although I didn't believe I would succeed.
Daesh militants were everywhere in Mosul. I tried to escape through a window but I was
immediately caught by one of the guards who put me in a room.

Under their [ISIS] rules a captured woman becomes a spoil of war if she is caught trying
to escape. She is put in a cell and raped by all the men in that compound. I was gang raped
- they call this practice sexual Jihad.

Afterwards I couldn't even think of trying to escape again. The final man I stayed with in
Mosul lived alone. When he decided to sell me on he went to get me some clothes. He told me to
wash myself and get ready to be sold to someone else. Even though I thought it was impossible I
managed to leave the compound. I called at a house, a Muslim family with no connection to Daesh [ISIS]
lived there.

I asked them for help. I said to them that my brother would give them whatever they wanted in return.
The family told me that they did not support Daesh [ISIS] and had no connection with them.
They gave me all the help they could. They gave me a black abaya and an Islamic ID
and then they took me to the border.

BBC: And that allowed you to escape and get out.

Nadia: Yes, the family allowed me to escape.

BBC: There are many women who've been held who killed themselves out of desparation.
Was it something that at the time you thought?

Nadia: Being in the hands of Daesh (ISIS) we felt as if we had already died.
Most people die once in their lifetime but we were dying every hour.
Our hearts were constantly full of fear as we had no idea when they would come for us.

I have never thought of killing myself, either before or after I was captured by Daesh (ISIS),
it has never occurred to me. I believe that everyone should accept what god has given them,
regardless of whether they are poor or have suffered injustice, we must all endure it.
We should be content with what god has given us. But still many girls committed suicide, one
was from my village.
They reached Dohuk two nights ago where they are being housed in centres established by the UN Population Fund.

There, they are being reunited with family members and offered care including clothing and medical and psychological aid, the UN said.
The women and children are being cared for at dedicated service points set up by the UNPF, and will be referred for more specialised treatment.
The UNFP's humanitarian co-ordinator for Iraq, Lise Grande, said the UN was going to do "everything possible" for the rescued Yazidi.
"What these women and girls have endured is unimaginable," she said.

Who are the Yazidis?

[img]https://thenypost.files./2014/08/yazidid.jpg[/img]

~ Centuries-old religious sect found in northern Iraq, Syria and the Caucasus.

~ Religion incorporates elements of many faiths, including Zoroastrianism.

~Principal divine figure, Malak Taus (Peacock Angel), is the supreme angel of the seven angels who ruled the universe after it was created by God.

~Many Muslims and other groups incorrectly view Yazidis as devil worshippers.

~There are estimated to be about 500,000 Yazidis worldwide, most living in Iraq's Nineveh plains.

In August 2007 jihadists attacked Yazidi villages in Nineveh, killing between 400 and 700 people.


The UN - which has accused IS of committing genocide against the Yazidi - estimates that 1,500 women and girls are still being held and could be suffering protracted sexual abuse.

A UN report released last year said the extremists had subjected captured Yazidis to the "most horrific of atrocities", killing or enslaving thousands, warning IS aimed to completely erase their way of life.


In March. lawyer Amal Clooney urged the UN to back a UK-led investigation into the crimes committed by IS.

IS has been under increasing pressure in Iraq, losing much of the territory it seized in 2014.

Iraqi forces have recaptured most the city of Mosul from IS, but they are still trying to push the group out of the Old City district in the west.

I actually expected to see sources where the OP got his info from but I found non. What shows the credibility of the list when actually you and him refused to add your sources to them? Is this how you derive the Truth?
What do you mean "sources"? These Shariah laws can all be found within the pages of the Quran and the Sunnah. I could take the time out to painstakingly reference every line of scripture relating to said laws for you, but that would be a huge amount of time wasted. Why not google each individual law yourself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiqh)?

Hell, why not take a gander at Saudi Arabia's legal system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Saudi_Arabia#Sharia_background) (which is Shariah - or at least a variant of Shariah) and see how strongly it coincides with these precepts? I can assure you that these are neither fake nor exaggerated - they are the law of islam as is believed by goldfish-brained Shariah muslims.

Only number 31 makes sense to me. It should be in the constitution.
The point of that law is that that is the ONLY punishment a rapist gets. In fact, there are other laws in Shariah, put in practice to this very day in places like Saudi Arabia or Mauritania where the victim of the assault is put in jail for "adultery" or "indecency"!


May I also point out that SOME OF THESE LAWS ARE USED IN CERTAIN AREAS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA. WHAT THE Bleep.

Saw a post in the Muslims Only section of Nairaland's religious section that made my veins turn ice cold then boiling hot with respective shock and anger. It outlined some precepts of Islam's Shariah law system, which is their "alternative" to modern-day law systems. Needless to say, it's absolutely revolting and I feel that anyone with any doubts about the revolting, warlike and backwards nature of this religion should feast their eyes upon this utter abomination.

Since the muslim section does not allow any room for debate or opposing opinions by non-muslims (just like in Shariah law, mind you), I decided to post it here to expose just how downright evil some of the shit these goat-piss drinkers believe in really is.

1- Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.

2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.

3- A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.

4- A percentage of Zakat (charity money) must go towards jihad.

5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.

6- A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.

7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph if he rejects Islam.

8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.

9- A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of: 1) an apostate 2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Vigilante street justice and honor killing is acceptable.

10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim, but will get it for killing a Muslim.

11- Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.

12- Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, flogging even for crimes of sin such as adultery.

13- Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law. They must comply to Islamic law if they are to remain safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women, publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or openly celebrate their religious holidays or funerals. They are forbidden from building new churches or building them higher than mosques. They may not enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no longer protected if he leads a Muslim away from Islam.

14- It is a crime for a non-Muslim to sell weapons to someone who will use them against Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot curse a Muslim, say anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam, or expose the weak points of Muslims. But Muslims can curse non-Muslims.

15- A non-Muslim cannot inherit from a Muslim.

16- Banks must be Sharia compliant and interest is not allowed.

17- No testimony in court is acceptable from people of low-level jobs, such as street sweepers or bathhouse attendants. Women in low level jobs such as professional funeral mourners cannot keep custody of their children in case of divorce.

18- A non-Muslim cannot rule — even over a non-Muslim minority.

19- Homosexuality is punishable by death.

20- There is no age limit for marriage of girls. The marriage contract can take place anytime after birth and can be "consummated" (islamic term for "they can be raped" ) at age 8 or 9.

21- Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.

22- Divorce is only in the hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: “I divorce you” and becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.

23- There is no community property between husband and wife and the husband’s property does not automatically go to the wife after his death.

24- A woman inherits half what a man inherits.

25- A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and none of them have a right to divorce him — even if he is polygamous.

26- The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs.

27- A man is allowed to have sex with (aka:rape) slave women and women captured in battle, and if the enslaved woman is married her marriage is annulled.

28- The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man.

29- A woman loses custody if she remarries.

30- To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.

31- A rapist may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim.


32- A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body, which is considered “Awrah,” a sexual organ. Not all Sharia schools allow the face of a woman exposed.

33- A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife at the time he caught her in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women, since the man “could be married to the woman he was caught with.”

34-It is obligatory for a Muslim to lie if the purpose is obligatory. That means that for the sake of abiding with Islam’s commandments, such as jihad, a Muslim is obliged to lie and should not have any feelings of guilt or shame associated with this kind of lying
So to sum up, Sharia muslims are rapist paedophile wife-beating woman-hating bloodthirsty braindead slavery-supporting religious elitist psychopaths who lie, steal and are above persecution.

These people should just die off.

Disgusting.

And islamists wonder why the whole world hates them.

It would do the peoples of the world a huge favour if the monsters who support these barbarous and unintelligent laws just disappeared.

While I do not believe in gods and find Christianity to be equally abominable, so don't take this as an evangelical outburst of support for the filth within the testaments, classical Islam certainly gives off the vibe of a fabled 'deal with the devil'. One of the easiest religions to join, and one of the hardest to leave.
Christianity EtcRe: Are Atheist More Prone To Committing Suicide? by CyrusTheGreat: 2:50pm On Apr 29, 2017
I really can't say because I don't believe it is a factor.


I would however believe that the fundamentally religious would be more willing to commit suicide in a general context than atheists, considering how they believe in an afterlife. I mean, just look at all of the suicide bombers who have swept modern news for the past couple of decades.

I don't think religion plays a huge part though, and if it does it is more due to the social pressures of society (which can come from commonly held religious beliefs). For example, I have met many atheists living in places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia who have admitted to feeling suicidal in the past, where being atheist can make ones' family disown them, get one put in jail, or get one beaten or killed by a crazy mob, and where one cannot criticise the backwardness of ones' society for fear of these things. A boy was put in jail for over a year in Egypt for saying that he did not believe in god on Facebook, and it was his own father who reported him to the police.

Again this suicidial tendency has less to do with the fact that these people do not believe in a god and more to do with the way they are treated by others for having those beliefs.



If you look at some of the countries with the world's highest suicide rates, such as Japan, Korea, Greenland, etc, you will realise that there is a lot of isolation, online and offline bullying (a LOT of people in these countries use the internet) and difficulty socialising in the culture and society of these nations. The social stratification in Japan and Korea in particular, coupled with extreme pressure in academia and the concept of confucian "saving face", the increasingly anti-social and isolated lifestyles many people lead, the lack of empathy and the willingness by large swathes of the population to engage in online and offline lynch mobs and bullying campaigns against citizens who gain even the slightest smidgeon of media attention, etc. formulates a recipe for people who want to take their lives.
