Personally, I struggle to understand how anyone can read the Qur’an and *not* fear Islam. Or, the Bible/Christianity for that matter.
@shrikeh I think that is terribly unfair to the Quakers, don’t you? Of course some are more violent than others :)

@aral 100% of ppl are dicks. If there were 100k suicide bombers worldwide, that would be less than 4% of UK Muslim population. Islam is HUGE -
@shrikeh I tend to believe that most people are good. Especially if we don’t brainwash them at an early age with dangerous fairy tales. -
@aral No argument there, but saying one load of fairy tales is worse than another overlooks social political & economic regional factors. -
@shrikeh So two religions could advocate polar opposite responses to the same ethical questions and be equivalent? I fail to understand. -
@aral I think that's off topic. My point is that both advocate people killed, cities destroyed, turning people to salt, etc for defiance.

@aral Quakers are a sect of Christianity. If we want to compare sects, that's very different to comparing the texts they're based on.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
