Its called islam. People were forced into following it, and if they question or convert away from it they get pwnt. If they had views, discussion, communication and learning there wouldnt be any muslims.commissargizz wrote:
So can't the Pope criticize other faiths. Or do we have to be so PC as to not offend anyone. Do we all have to be silent, no views, no discussions, no learning????? If so ban all forums as I may get offended by something.
Speaking of forcing, the Janissaries come to mind.JaMDuDe wrote:

History books ftw.DoctorFruitloop wrote:
Forgive my ignorance, but what are Janissaries?
The only Janissaries I've ever come across are in a book by Dan Abnett and they are mercenary killers who belong to (actual possessions of) their clan.

What's wrong with Islam? It's no more fucked up than Christianity. Who was forced into following it? Where are you getting these facts from, the Pope?JaMDuDe wrote:

I thought that was a dead subject, basically, Nazis came to town, took it over, and told everyone capable of carrying a weapon to join up or watch their entire family get executed, you probably would have joined, too. To his credit, he deserted not long afterwards.buLLet_t00th wrote:

That is only slightly relevant. An apology had been issued and, as far as I am aware of, none of the perpetrators of the Spanish Inquisition are alive this day.Bertster7 wrote:

Ever heard of the Inquisition? That didn't force people into Christian beliefs did it? No one has ever been burnt at the stake for not being a Christian, have they?
If everyone had views, discussion, communication and learning there wouldn't be any Christians.

The inquisition is like, sooooooooo dark ages, you see, it seems that christianity sort of evolved past that some time ago, I guess that puts Islam about 700-1000 years behind the curve. And yes, people in the middle east are still forced into Islam, the most recent case that comes to mind was in Afghanistan, a young man was being held and told to renounce christianity or face beheading (i think, or maybe just cutting off his hands......the point is they were going to cut something off), and had it not been for the recent enlightenment of the area since the elimination of the Taliban's control of the government, then he would be dead, but has since received amnesty under international pressure. This still occurs without handicap in Iran, Syria and such, even some of the more remote Islamic regions of Asia.Bertster7 wrote:

For the time being, discounting the fact that there are plenty of atheists in power. But the 'empire seat' of the world constantly shifts about, so don't be too upset. This is by no means permanent.Bubbalo wrote:

whoever is in charge will fall into some eventual religious category, even atheist, the fact that the potus and tb and other various pm's are christian is more of a coincidence, it's not necessarily that they are ruling through christianity, just that they have followed christian principles while on the way to their current position, I don't hear Blair ending every address with "as Jehovah wills it, it will be done"Bubbalo wrote:

You're post shows that you missed my point: it's easy to criticise Muslim fundamentalists when Christian fundamentalists have a seat on the UN (observer, granted, but still).kr@cker wrote:

Did the pope actually criticize Islam, or did he just read something someone else wrote? I think you need to check it out...mafia996630 wrote:
