Islam and The World

Just curiosity, why noone remember christianity as serbs and their genocide?

It looks like you are not looking Islam neutral, so you prefer to see what is bad in Islam. But you dont look christianity like this way.

As a Muslim the first thing that comes in my mind is faith and beauty.  I think the question and answers listed are better asked to non-Muslims.

Maju, I don't believe there is an example of Islam per se. There is no kingdom of god on this earth and this is should be well known to most Muslims (at least Sunnis). Rather, we have a spectrum where a country, nation, group can be placed on. That spectrum decides how  much do you follow Islam and how much you don't, and so you are to be considered more islamic or not, and not an Islamic or not. For example, Saudi Arabia practice more Islamic laws than Tunisia, however Saudi Arabia does not practice Islamic concepts of equality sometimes including not seperating the judicial system from the state, neither it does with the Royal family expidentures and the corruptions. So it is more Islamic on one side but less Islamic on the other side.

Now going back to your question, Talibans, Iran, Saudi Arabia...etc cannot be examples of an Islamic state rather than how much they follow the Islamic teachings in all aspects and not selectively.

The LRA has a religious propoganda, not very different from Taliban. If we ought to consider Taliban an Islamic terrorist group, we should consider then the LRA a Christian terrorist group to avoid double-standing. If the LRA received assistance from the Sudanese government earlier, Osama Bin Laden and much of Taliban received assistant from the USA too.

Regarding Sudan support to LRA, I will quote the following from the report of the Institute for Security Studies:

"The LRA is based in southern Sudan and operates in northern Uganda. In January 2002 Pres. Museveni and Sudanese President Umar Haan al-Bashir pledged to work towards �peace and security� in the region and to cease military support to rebel groups. In 1995 the two countries severed diplomatic relations with Uganda has accusing Sudan of supporting the LRA, and Sudan has claiming that Uganda was assisting the rebel Sudan People�s Liberation Army (SPLA)."

So it is clearly a political move as much as the United States did earlier in supporting Taliban, and till now, in supporting the Saudi Royal family. Politics is different issue to religion.

I don't recall any law that is targetting women only and not both sexes. Do you mean how some Muslims treat their women?

I can tell you that a lot of Muslim men are not following the examples they have in their religion in respecting and equal treatment of their wives and sisters. However, a lot of Christian are also not following the Christian teachings in treating their women too, except that Christian teaching of women is quiet different than what you expect.

'A women should learn in quietness and in full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing - if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.' (1 Timothy 2:11-15)

No wonder they were discussing in the 1000's AD if women are evil spirits in human bodies or full human!

While childbearing has beeen discussed by many Christian theologians as a punishment to Eve and all women in decieving Adam (men), the Prophet Muhammed tells a guy asking who are the most deserving person of my care and obidience, and he tells him "Your mother", he askes "then whom?", and he get the same answer second and a thrid time too. Finally "your father" comes in the fourth time. 3-1 for mothers.

So Maju, you deciding that you can find horrific accounts of ordering the mistreating of women in Quran but at the same time you cannot find that in the Bible is untrue simply.

As for those who are so quick in accusing Muslims, Islam, Muhammad or the Qur'an, I ask you, what do you think when you hear Israel? or Vatican? or USA? or KKK? or Zionism? or Srebenica?

I mean women not being able to drive in Saudi Arabia. Those are legal precepts under several "sharias".
