I'm not trying to prove the contrary. Some people are overzealous, that's a thing.
They are. But unlike other groups, there is no internal concern, rebuke or attempt to expel the overzealous in Islam. Quite the opposite, they're usually praised for the vile things they do to outsiders or Muslims who aren't the right type of Muslim or not Muslim enough for them.
That's not how lefties work, the end goal of subversion is destruction. It doesn't matters to them if Christianity remains or dies as long as it capitulates to their demands, which it has at every turn.
What victory has "The Left" had over a large western Church of consequence?
Unless you want to consider something like Vatican II in a Sedevacantist Catholic view as traditional Christendom falling to the leftist horde; which was an internal process that was a counter revolution against modernity rather than in tandem with it, you're going to be short of material.
You can't even really say Orthodoxy, which was under Soviet power for almost a century, was "subverted"; considering they rebelled constantly against them and even today when former KGB make up a not insignificant part of the upper clergy they're infamous worldwide for their conservative, racist (and I mean genuine hatred of "lesser" races) and far right views.
Sure but that's war so I'm not sure what your point is?
Like any good Christian pastor can twist the Bible to justify anything, Islamic Jurists are just as talented at drawing things out to support their own personal beliefs.
You say lying is bad, and yet
Taqiyya exists. You may not personally believe it; because of course you are a TRUE and HONEST Muslim while everyone else clearly must have it at least a little bit wrong.
And lets not forget in Sunni Islam there are many occasions where it's okay to tell lies; such as to protect the life of another Muslim (very vague that, often wheeled out to justify why it's fine to lie to Western Authorities).
If you'd like a very famous historical example consider when the Caliph Mamun proclaimed that the Qu'ran was created, and with exception to Ahmad ibn Hanbal and presumably smaller less recognized figures that likely did so too, the entire umma lied and pretended to accept his teaching until he fell out of power.
That's the Sunni legend at least, it's far more likely this was like the Church power struggle in England during the 15th-16th centuries between Catholics and Protestants.
To take stylistic liberty with a translation of the work of Omar Khayyam ; the unbeliever knows his religion best.
I mean, I'd need some clarification on what you mean by 'lies'. But again, war is its own thing, not a unilateral pass to go round lying to random disbelievers.
What about the promise of safety and tolerance made to the Arabic Jews who initially supported Muhammad, before he decided actually religious plurality wasn't his thing and he'd prefer all the men dead just because lol.
The verses I quoted literally says the exact opposite of that.
One verse against the many others that justify the opposite. Islamic practice hardly supports this claim either.
We don't really call that jihad but yeah, why wouldn't we outbreed everyone else and bring people to our side? Like your problem at its core just comes down to 'I like disbelief so Islam is bad for me', like yeah of course it is dude.
I "like" disbelief about as much as I "like" gravity; it's part of a personal relationship with reality.
I'm not saying you wouldn't, but it does little to argue against the idea that Islam is a religion actively plotting and working against co-existence, not even tolerance of , literally anyone else.
They are evil only in your personal opinion, and that doesn't really hold much weight if you're not a moral realist, which you might be idk whereabouts you stand on meta-ethics. Regardless God defines good and evil, so nothing God commands is evil by definition and opposing His command is evil by definition.
I don't believe in morals in the religious sense or Good and Evil, but you're religion claims they do exist so you're in a state of self-contradiction from the offset on this one.
If I was going to describe ethics I'd go more with a scale of "Law" vs "Chaos"; what enables people to work together and lash out at one another as little as possible, and what does not enable this or actively hinder this.
By your logic in any case, God can command rape and rape is holy and good. I mean, this is where I say Islam is more honest about its desire for power and utter contempt for human life than Christianity because the Qu'ran explicitly endorses rape, sexual slavery, pedophilia and murder.
I'm talking to someone who believes rape, torture and murder can be holy and good purely because a capricious bloodthirsty magical creature says they are. You will excuse me if I take any of your opinions on how humans should conduct themselves with a pinch of salt.
