Should we really be respecting all religions the same? I think everyone should be able to practice their religion freely, but when people are marrying children or murdering people with the excuse that it’s their religion, that doesn’t seem respectable

No it’s not. The Talmud is second only to the Bible and holds all Jewish law. The Torah is in reference to the first five books of the Bible. The Torah also INCLUDES the Talmud because the Talmud is also a religious teaching of the Jews. Torah is a broad term that refers to the written words by god(first five books of the Bible) and oral Torah or oral law(Talmud).

That’s just a biased take and if you have any sense then you’ll realize that. You have to look at population density and grouping, cults form where a religion is most prominent as people branch away to practice their own interpretation of it (which is almost always extremist). Take a look at FLDS.

According to the religion the prophet Mohammed is the most virtuous and holy man to walk the earth and while it’s true that most Muslims are not committing genocide in the us the Quran calls Muslims to be be like Mohammed. Mohammed was a warlord who married a six year old( don’t worry he waited a whopping 3 years before consummating the marriage) please do your own research as well, look into the grooming gangs in the UK.

because they are applying Islam correctly. There’s a study of it in the inquiry report, you can read it there. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6810978a41bbc42489eafa81/t/6a314bb1151e511944bd4421/1781615537601/The+Rape+Gang+Inquiry+Report.pdf

The Quran claims that it is the infallible word of god so making your own interpretation of the Hadiths and picking and choosing which to follow would be to exalt your judgement to be on par with god. There are people who make their own judgements anyway but the religion itself posits that the hadiths shall be followed to the letter or you go to hell. Once again I encourage you to do your own research. I am not saying that all Muslims are bad, I’m criticizing the religion itself

“…our post-war leaders embraced diversity and multiculturalism as the supposedly civilized alternative. This report establishes beyond any doubt that this ‘open society’ obsession has in fact enabled untold barbarism of its own.” this along with other anti-immigration & frankly racist sentiments makes this report clearly and obviously biased. glad you gave evidence, however this source isn’t reliable.

So you can’t prove it’s unreliable? It has plenty of citations, and I’m sorry but the truth is biased. Judging by the fact that you neither addressed the Islamic sections nor spoken of anything else tells me you only read the first few pages. I’ve read over 100. But im not surprised, people tend to be so wired that the mention of anything that doesn’t sound like what they’ve been told to like is enough to keep them away from doing any meaningful review, even if nothing is factually dishonest.

that clearly isnt how most modern Muslims treat their religion. reading a religious text extensively doesn’t make you a pundit about the modern-day religious practitioners. & I’m not addressing the text because frankly that’s not the important piece here, it’s how modern-day Muslims clearly don’t interpret it the way you are lol

Then you can’t criticize something you’ve spent no time looking at. Your points are all moot. This was about how if correctly applying a religious text leads to atrocity, the religion is also to blame. Just go read that part of the inquiry. I’ll even give you the starting page (116).

Well the problem with “religious freedom as a whole (not specifically talking about Islam just the general concept) is the idea that someone can essentially say god says I can live in this way and if you obstruct or oppose that ur discriminating against me is not cohesive with an objective rule of law, the individuals within any nation should be subject to the rules and laws of that nation as rules only work if everyone plays along. Furthermore most religious people default to it as their 1/2

Objective moral standard and vote to have the laws and morals of their religion enforced by the nation via legislation(don’t get me wrong everyone should be free to vote however they like) now I’m not saying religious people shouldn’t be allowed to vote however if the rationale of why u should vote this law into power is “ my god told me to make u live this way” is not cohesive in a society that prides itself on the separation of church and state 2/2

you can’t break the law with religion as an excuse & get away with it. religion isnt a valid excuse to marry a minor, and it’s legal for ANYONE to do that in the legal states & illegal for everyone in the others. I also don’t see how discriminating against an established religion does anything when you can simply advocate for a change in the laws that enable the behavior, both from religious & non-religious people.

I agree that separation of church & state is important, but your point on voting only applies when those people don’t understand the difference between enabling themselves & disabling others. for example, some religious people vote against trans healthcare, but many non-religious people do as well with similar reasoning. that behavior isnt exclusive to religion.
