Why is ISLAM so full of gimmickery?

For the last damn time. These are MEN that are writing this crap and butchering Islam. The same thing they did to the Bible. I have Muslim family members and was raised as a Muslim. I do not practice now, but I cannot say that I am not  a Muslim anymore, because once a Muslim always a Muslim in my book. You cannot take back shahadah(surrender to Allah) \n\nThose idiots who are bombing and so forth are just hiding behind Islam to justify what they do. No where does Islamic belief state that you go to heaven for killing yourself and others because of jihad(struggle) These people are not martyrs.

1, 2, and 3 are just ridiculous.  razors??  LOL, whatever.  Men CAN marry 4 women, but they need the first wife's permission and are told it's better to marry just one since men by their very nature have a hard time being fair and just with just one.  4, I have been to islamic countries.  you are sadly misinformed.  My nephews and nieces there have regular schoolbooks, and study the Quran for only an hour a day in their home when an Imam comes to teach them how to read arabic.  5, all of this is against islam.  Whipping is commanded for adulterors only, and that's it.  6, internet is all over the islamic countries too.  internet wasn't even INVENTED in those days, so there can't be any issue with it.  It's also a great educational tool and many of those same people can get an education online.  7, again you are sadly misinformed.  They have everything we have.  My father in law has a toyota corolla with all leather interior and little pillows on each headrest both in front and back.  Not to mention a great AC system.  8, doctors and other people of those fields are used over there, too.  What, do you think they don't have hospitals?  Of course they do, otherwise who else would have cured my daughter of Yellow Fever?  We went into the hospital, and across from where the maternity ward is, there was the children's area.  The doc sat down on stool, examined her, and gave her two injections.  One was an antimalaria and one was an antibiotic.  They have EVERYTHING we have.  You name it, they have it.  They are not so backwards as you would like to believe.  Don't let the medai spoon feed you that garbage.  Get a brain and use it.  My God.

It all boils down to one thing, and one thing only.  Muhammed, when he was inventing allah and islam, took and corrupted (intentionally or not) a lot of factoids from Judaism and Christianity.  His ONLY defense against his inadequate knowledge of science, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, history, religion (esp Judaism and Christianity), and many OTHER fields of thought was to declare EVERYTHING ELSE as wrong or corrupted.  (nice try, Mo)  \n\nIslam "claims" to be correct and complete, yet denies the divine nature of Jesus.  Islam is at a loss for anything spiritual (resorting instead to lavish physical pleasures and rewards for following allah/Muhammed).  There are so many blatant errors in the koran that it's not worth listing.\n\nChristianity (rightfully) views islam and allah as a false god.

The muslim religion is a man made religion based on machismo rather than spirituality.  The people who made up islam had no concept of a God that is no subject to the laws of physics, so the scholars of that religion are forced to find ways to discredit that which they are incapable of understanding.\n\nThis I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

My own opinion is that:\nFirst of all this was because Muslims stopped playing their role in introducing Islam to the world, and let bunch of terrorist - who burly know anything about Islam - to present it to the world.\nSecond, Islam like all real religions is in fight with those how refuse to obey GOD or at least to believe that GOD really exists.\nThird, too many of Muslims at these days are very far from Islam rules which gives a very bad image of Islam and all Muslims.

Oh my god what is that guy going on about Allah and all that jazz?!\n\nGod the amount of religious fanatics we have on this site is scary...\n\nIt is a beautiful coincedence!

Funny how religions cling to their books screaming it is historical until something is found to disprove it.  Then they say history is crap.  \n\nYou just can't win against the brainwashed.

Because they gutlessly caved in to the inane ravings of the violent lunatics known as Muslims.\n\nThe Muslim world routinely publishes the vilest most nauseating lies about every other religion but they have the unmitigated gall to scream death threats when anyone says anything, no matter that it is true, about their so called prophet.\n\nMuhammad personally led armies to slaughter and enslave his neighbors in his own lifetime. Not just his followers but the so called  prophet himself was a man of violence and aggressive evil.

Because Islam exists.

Well, the religions don't claim to know God's (SWT) mind. The messages are FROM God (SWT), so I think She/He knows His/Her 'mind' pretty well. (This is in perspective of a muslim)\n\nOf course, I believe you've already figured that all religions are fake and therefore they were made up by psychos (humans) in the past, rite? \n\nIf that is the case then I guess it's not really God's mind, it would be the person who created the religion's mind, rite? Example: If Islam was not the word from Allah (SWT), then therefore it was written by Muhammed (PBUH). Which means that it's based on Muhammed's (PBUH) mind.\n\nOr if Christianity is not real, then it's Jesus' (SWS)mind and not God's mind. (I know some people believe Jesus is God, but I'm just trying paint a picture, so sry if you're angry bout it).

it is rather disgusting and I believe that it goes to show that Islam is a religon of evil and should be outlawed.\nAnything that spews hatred should be outlawed. Its not communism in any way. As murder and segregation is outlawed because its obviously acts of hatred; so should Islam.

I know that this is going to sound paradoxical, but I would say that the main reason why they did not tell you the truth about Islam is that they were …Christian...\nEvery criticism of Quran can be matched with equal criticism of the Bible. So Christians are afraid to criticize Quran, because their criticism will also be against their own religion.\n\nCertainly Quran is utterly idiotic; however the Bible is full of idiocy as well. It is really hard to decide which is more absurd: the Muhammad riding his donkey to Heaven where he meets his Allah, or Jesus being born from a virgin, raising from dead or walking on water. Both is retarded, and both keeps the believers in the state of mental retardation.\nWithout any doubt Quran is a fanatical terrorist bloody scripture, and the Bible, too, is a genocidal fanatical scripture. Quran says kill the infidel, the Bible says kill a man who collected some sticks to make a little fire on a Saturday! The “God” of the Bible tell the Jews to exterminate whole nations living in Canaan, men women, even their cattle. The New Testament is a fanatical scripture as well; it clearly states that unless you are saved by Jesus you are going to hell. Either you are with Jesus, or you are against. So there are many parallels between Islam on one hand and Christianity and Judaism on the other. \nJudaism has lost its lethal power because Jews became powerless after being kicked out from their country some 1800 years ago. However Christianity and Islam have committed so many crimes against humanity that it is hard to judge which of these two cults have been more deadly. Both are guilty of genocides, persecution of minorities, repression of women, anti-democratic, anti-human and anti-scientific attitudes. Both are responsible for murder of hundreds of millions of people. \nThe BID difference is that the Western countries are now living in POST-Christian era, while the Muslims are still in the middle of Islamic Dark Ages. \nSo the advantage of Christianity of Islam is only because Christianity is relatively weak and has been to a large degree been replaced with humanism. Still, unfortunately Christianity is a dominating moral force, and very few people have the courage relegate Christianity to a museum where it belongs. Until such time, there will not be political courage to fight Islamic dark ages. Until such time, you will not hear the truth that “Islam is Fascism” that “Muhammad was a pervert, a liar, and a rapist”. \nOF course this is a very condensed answer that does not cover all aspects; it just focuses on one important aspect. I still hope that you read this carefully and consider the merits of what I wrote.\nAnd to my Muslim brothers and sisters, I do not hate Muslims; I hate only the Darkness but not the people (Muslims) who suffer from it. (I too was a Muslim once)\n\n**********************************************8\nOne more thing: I have to do some justice to the Bible and admit, that while from the literary point of view Quran is complete trash, the Bible, on the other hand while also full of trash, also contains parts that are among the worlds most beautiful literature on the same level as Odyssey and Shakespeare.

Those people are utter scum. Islam is full of it. Notice how every time someone says that Islam is the religion of violence, they protest with violence and shout for beheadings - for been called violent. Now we'll be both labeled as ignorant because we don't bend over for Islam.\n\nThe fact that people can thumbs down you is disturbing. I'd give you thumbs up if I weren't a mere Level 1 user.\n\nNow the Extremely Annoyed Kitty

well.. these days there are many missunderstandings , also many muslims missunderstand islam , and media press is playing it's part , it's only showing the bad part of islam and this is called media war , so now many people who don't know much about islam , have this idea that islam is the source of terror and i don't blame them , they have no other source of information and they say what they only see, but my advice is ,before putting the blame on islam , try to know more about it , and ask special people who know well about it , and don't try to judge it because of some bunch of muslim freaks who didn't understand islam the right way and who are acting so stupid and putting all this in the name of islam and also i don't blame them ,they born in hunger , beggary  and they were not educated so it's the way they lived not their religion is what made them maybe terrorists, the truth is , islam is the religion of peace and love , not war and terror

Most of them are ignorant mis-led brainwashed finger-pointing hypocrites that lack common sense, just like the members of most other so-called religions. It's all about control, and keep in mind that alongside fear, gullibility is mans second biggest weakness.

They believe what they are told; also the stories have a creative way of teaching how, as humans, we should co-exist and the consequences if we don't. Why do you think the islamic world is in an uproar over a few silly cartoons? They are brainwashed into blindly accepting what others say is right or wrong, instead of learning to create, to explore and even to question what others believe and why.   The simple truth is that the vast majority are just too lazy to analyze what's right and wrong; when the easy answer is - that if you accept the bible as the word of god, then you only have to read it, live it and profess that I do it because the bible tells me so.
