      Man I don’t know where to begin.

      First, the Quran does NOT say to “exterminate everyone who isn’t Muslim.” The Quran says that Jews and Christians worship the same God and that they are to be protected as equal citizens. It also says that Churches and Synagogues are places where the same God is worshipped and so Muslims are commanded to protect those houses of worship. Theres a reason the Golden Age of Judaism occurred under Islamic rule, as Jews were protected while the rest of Europe led pogroms against them.

      Second, Jews and Muslims lived together peacefully in the Middle East for over 1400 years and still do in places like Morocco and Tunisia. There’s a lot of current outrage over Israel massacring Arabs and stealing their land but that conflict is barely 70 years old. Heck, there was a new non-Israeli synagogue built in Lebanon and even Hizbullah said they supported it.

      I’m a practicing Muslim, my college Jewish roommates would be surprised to hear you think I wanted them dead. My religion actually tells me to protect them as I would the rest of my neighbors. It’s really clear you know absolutely nothing about Islam; you should pick up the Quran and read it from page 1. It’s short and you’d be surprised at how it doesn’t match the false stereotype you hold.

      Bro, i don’t know what you’re smoking but I want some.

      So, everyone has to have judeo-christian ethics? Are you fucking kidding me? You do understand that most religions are basically a rehash of the same shit? You also understand that it’s hard to be ethical when you are subject to genocide?

      They would come for us? JFC, you’re either ignorant or just brainwashed. Those people are just like you and me. They want to live a normal life, have kids, enjoy life. Just because they have a different religion does not make them subhuman.

        The only acceptable way to treat someone subhuman is in a consenting sexual scenario. Everything else is abhorrent.

      The Quran says a lot of things, sometimes contradictory. It’s best to see how the followers interpret them and which they hold to.
