re: #159 Jimmah

Spencers’s whole schtick is to claim that Islam is a uniquely contemptible religion. Only Islam has an expansionist agenda; and only Islamic fundamentalists seek to impose their religious views through law. The geniuses of the ‘anti-jihad movement’ also seem to believe that only Muslims have a taboo about pigs a belief that has been the basis of many a bigoted comment or act. Btw, this is in no way a slam on Jews - I’m just pointing out the distorted picture that these people are painting.

I think it was one of the fine Jewish folks here who said, a few weeks/months back, that Islam needs an Enlightenment rather than a Reformation, strictly speaking, to help it join the rest of the major religions for a big bowl of calmthefuckdown soup.

Other than that, every religion has some really weird stuff when taken out of context.
