CAIRO — The anti-Islam debate has reached Facebook, the world's leading socialworking website, prompting a petition supported by thousands of Muslim (more)

CAIRO — The anti-Islam debate has reached Facebook, the world's leading socialworking website, prompting a petition supported by thousands of Muslim and non-Muslim members, The New York Times reported on Monday, September 10. "We r quitting Facebook," more than 58,000 Facebook members are threatening unless a one-month-old anti-Islam group was removed.

One of the champions of the petition-drive group is Essma Bargewee, a 20-year student of business at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

She joined and invited some friends and posted at a few other groups in Facebook.

"Next morning I came and was expecting 15 or something to join but found hundreds," Bargewee said in an e-mail to the Times.

"As you have seen we ended up with thousands of both Muslims and non-Muslims defending our idea."

The petition is rallying against a 750-member group which carries the name "Based on the facts...Mohammed was a murderer."

"The Qur'an contains many lies and threats. Islam is false, no god exists, and someone should say that loud and clear," it states on its website.

"Heaven and hell are fables, prayer is a waste of time, and angels and jinn are obviously mythology."

Pointless

The petition complains against the group's attack on Islam as a faith and prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

"Please notice that Muslims take this issue very seriously as it harms our beliefs and our prophet," it reads.

The petition accuses the anti-Islam group of violating the very basic policies of Facebook under the pretext of freedom of expression.

"We want you to know that we respect the freedom of speech and opinions but Beliefs must be respected also as the mentioned group attacks individual and group in which it's violating the policy of Facebook that we all respect."

The group creator’s account was removed temporarily before being reinstated, the US daily said.

"Facebook briefly deleted my account, and I assumed they did so because of the group, but they reinstated the account and told me that it was a mistake of some sort," the organizer of the anti-Islam site said in an e-mail.

Facebook declined to comment on the subject or on what steps had been taken, if any.

Founded in 2004, Facebook's membership was initially restricted to students of the Harvard University.

It was later expanded to other universities in the United States and later to any student with a university email address from all over the world.

Networks were then initiated for high schools and some large companies.

Since September 11, 2006, it has been made available to any email address user who inputs a certain age range.

Users can select to join one or more participatingworks, such as a high school, place of employment, or geographic region.

As of July 2007, the website had the largest number of registered users among college-focused sites with over 34 million active members worldwide.

In July, it was ranked between the top 10–13 web sites, and was the number one site for photos in the US with over 8.5 million photos uploaded daily.

Facebook is also the sixth most visited site in the US.

Just plain wrong to have an anti-islam group, equally as much as anti-Christianity or anti-Jewish group...

Anyone against Islam, or other faiths, is only because they have the wrong perception of it - which is sad - how much misunderstanding leads to hatred.

Getting political movements mixed up with religious movements is always dangerous :skeleton:

This Anti-Muslim group has all right to exist. As long as this particular group is not infringing upon Facebook's code of conduct or inciting violence there is no issue (or ought not to be).

There should be no special treatment allocated.

They R Hopeless.

Here In Egypt More Than 50 Christain Man Enters Islam Daily..even That Reaches Over 200 Per Day Sometimes

They Can't Win The Fight Against Islam

Remeber THIS My Brothers ...the Dogs' Barking Can't Influence The Sky

ISLAM IS THE SKY .... And They R The Barking Dogs

So Whether They Continued To Bark..or They Stoped....no Effect On Islam

This is similar to your admittance that adultery is willfully and maliciously against the sanctity of marriage, but that adulterers should be free to fornicate anyway..

Not unless they are directly encouraging, advocating or supporting violence towards Muslim. Otherwise they are just a group of people that obviously feel morally (as their assertions as shown on the original post appear to indicate) obliged to criticise and attack Islam.

Yes.

Because I hold that the government should not enforce by force the 'sanctity of marriage'. It should be kept out of people's bedrooms.

That is exactly the purpose of such groups.. these aren't peaceful people, these are hateful people. There is no 'moral' in hate.. once you have established a set of laws (good laws) should be very clear where truth/right/goodness stands apart from error.. you have to draw the lines somewhere I assume? otherwise I can just come and libel and slander you and 'yo motha' to my heart's content in the most vile of ways, because I find you both oh so Da*n loathsome! Did that offend you? I hope so, because that is how offensive it is!

Yes.

It has nothing to do with the govt. It has to do with a sense of decency, and the burden of a promise you've made to another. which is obviousely missing in some parties.. some even more than others (when nothing is to hold them back) You can't honor your word there should be consequence.. obviousely there is no consequence even religiously speaking if you get away with it, which people do! but it is morally reprehensible and hopefully such folks if they don't get their just desert in this world, shall indeed insha'Allah in the hereafter.. after all it is a law of nature, in the argot--'what goes around, comes around'!
So true what they say (faqid alshy'e la yo3teeh), how can I expect to discuss morality, when there is no base line--- it is basically made to fit the changing tides..
few yrs down the line it will be ok to kill your neighbor under the freedom from your neighbor act, to be enforced on sundays, and especially if he is missing his left molars.

You could always inquire if you're confused as to their purpose. I'm just telling you what I think it could be. My guess from the original post is that they oppose Islam for moral reasons.

You indeed can. It happens all the time on the internet. If you are of course referring to incidents outside the internet though, where people's names are falsely attacked or criticised - then that is a different discussion and I myself have no clear standpoint on such.

You did not by the way, offend me. Years of internet discussions harden me to personal attacks.

I don't understand what against Islam for moral reasons means. what moral reasons could there possibly be against any organized age old religion? is this some sort of joke?


Yes. That line is incitement to violence towards others.
And that is the clear purpose of such groups!

That is exactly what I am denoting doing it where it will have an impact on your life. Either financially where you have to spend money warding off my attacks through lawyers or whatever means, emotionally, where it interferes with your daily activities, physically, where you have to withstand traveling a long distance because I have made sure everyone learns false defaming information about you and not hire you.. etc etc

You did not by the way, offend me. Years of internet discussions harden me to personal attacks.
I am not talking about internet, although, I find it odd that any random person can insult your mother and you'd be ok with it.. perhaps you are just pretending, or maybe you didn't like her and anyone can wish her to go to hell 'the devil may care' attitude.. most people I have encountered and at large I believe though may not particularly care for threats of any sort against their own person, feel rather defensive toward their family-- you might be one of the rare few and thus I commend you!



Such would infringe upon the neighbour's rights. You're inventing false scenarios.
Not at all, I am inviting very likely scenarios when man kind is making and passing the laws...
I will not go into what laws were unthought of that are now so recognized and consented.. a few months ago in Germany and I no longer have the article will look for it though I digress, a brother had an incestuous relationship with his sister had children with her and got away with it.. his lawyer stated 'who are we to define a family unit, or what a family is?' -- we are pushing the envelope, perhaps that is what it means to be cultivated and civilized? I see it very likely down the road to kill your neighbor.. after all it started simply enough with folk like you deeming it OK TO HATE YOUR neighbor!

You are right, groups that oppose anything are mean and bad. I mean groups that disagree with capitolism (such as the many socialist groups on facebook) should be banned, same goes with groups that oppose imperialism (anti- America/Bush group) should be banned. Perfect system

O wait...Islam inherently denounces Christian values and religious beliefs. Islamic groups promoting Islam should be banned. etc.

When you get offended why people think atheistic people generally are illogical - stuff like this kinda confirms it.

Lets see, your brain, seeing this post thought "Anti-religious, yet free speech, heck why not support it? Technically it harms no law right?". This is not the linking of a rational or logical person.

Lets see the context of this group shall we?

Firstly, is it objective? Can any good come of it? We can even bet on that the people have a biased understanding of the religion itself. So what good could really come from this? Make some people happy as they throw insults about Islam between them, having a laugh?

Problems this can cause? Surely, most muslims should feel that their right of practicing Islam is violated by having people ridiculing their way of life, making a public awareness of being against it - for what reason? Probably very bad reasons, based on propaganda. Why should anyone have to have people against their way of life is beyond unfair.

Then we have Isaambard, thinking he is winning the logical battle with the comment

I mean groups that disagree with capitolism (such as the many socialist groups on facebook) should be banned
Ignoring the spelling mistake, Im thinking he meant capitalism. This means:

Capitalism generally refers to an economic system in which the means of production are all or mostly privately owned and operated for profit, and in which investments, distribution, income, production and pricing of goods and services are determined through the operation of a market economy
So, he compared, wait for it let me get a breath its quite a laugh, criticising an economic system is equal to being AGAINST a religious belief that billion+ people follow as their way of life. All I can say is :skeleton: and you can ask Wilberhaum what that means. This is as absurd as it can get really...

Heck, why don't I make an anti-black people group! Free speech right? Who cares if the black people get offended, aslong as I practice my free speech and I have a nice time having a laugh about black people, where is the harm?

But some people believe in not peace and harmony as they speak, but self-satisfication. It is a disease amongst humanity in the modern day, which we can only hope one day dissapears.

Actually it is your hypocrisy and the way you express it-- unless you were the first to advocate such groups as KKK, Neo-Nazis, Hitler lovers-- in such case we'd think your head is just not screwed on tight but hey it is your prerogative. Adjudicating from what you so freely express here in various sections, it is what you condone and what you tolerate that allows you to fall into one of two categories, neither idyllic!

Such groups have a right to exist as long as they dont break any laws. Even thou said groups do have a problem with my existance (being a former catholic, atheist, having a jewish name and being a colored minority) I still think they have a right to say whatever retarded thing that pops into their head. Just like creationists, just like 'pure' libertarians, just like communists.

They have a right to say whatever and Ill defend that, but I also have a right to call them idiots.

Where's the contradiction?

So you suspect that it is simply a matter of time when laws are allocated where violence to specific people or to groups of people is in fact, an allocated right?

When did 'folk like me' ever declare such? And on what basis could you imagine that such a morally bankrupt law be passed? Many acts allowing increased sexual liberation are based upon the basis that it is none of the government's business and on the advancement of personal liberty.

How exactly would an act allowing you to kill your neighbour be morally right in any way shape or form? How on earth could it be justified? Such an act would be a direct attack on security and liberty.

People opposing a way of life is not the same as a government or organisation actively restricting it.

Two questions:

1. Would you tolerate the existence of a group simply criticising Islam. Not attacking the adherents or Muhammad - but criticising it.
2. Do you think people ought to not attack Islam or ought not be against Islam (or any religion for that matter) by law? Or at least not be allowed to create groups which are against religion (or a specific religion?)

TO #1, if it was constructive criticism (not insulting basless crap), which can be seen as a learning basis even, and not oppositing people to believe it or thinking that it should not exist, I see nothing wrong with it.

To give example, someone could ask me, why our prophet :saw: married a 9 year old? Isn't that wrong? - While I would not appreciate people screaming "PROPHET :SAW: is a child X Y Z" etc..

TO #2, I think speech which can create hatred amongst communites should be against the law. Free speech should have its limits, as with actions. By law many actions by humans are restricted, we don't call it denying human rights do we (take murdering, stealing, and thousands of other things). We make laws to control society. If somthing is destructive/objectivless and can cause only harm, it should be against the law. Not just on religious matters, but on racial issues and so fourth.

Well, since nobody objects...

IMO, these groups can exist as much as a pro group. Isambard gave a good example: If you like to forbid this group, well, in the christian world, a group of muslims promoting Islam should also be banned then, in Muslim world, same from christian group.
Sad to say, one of the major problems of muslims is this narrow minded thinking: 'You are different from me, so you are evil'.
'You don't like to believe in Allah, so you will rotten in hell'

Well, from the point of view of a different religion, muslims are also disbelievers.

So, can we not just all be freinds and coexist, accept the facts that there will always be people who are different. Wasn't that a 'plan of God' to make the earth colorful instead of just black and white?

So consider this example:
A group of people who consider religion X to be dangerous and should not exist. This group of people are mature in their conduct. Should this group not exist?

Yes to the banning of mockery/satire.

As for if a group thinks a religion is dangerous. What if it really isn't dangerous and they are full of biased stuff. Islam is a religion of peace, why should they go out and offend billions of muslims because they don't know about Islam or didn't care to find out? When you are about to insult a way of life - understand it first.

As for a constructive group, never can an constructive group be called Anti-Islam, it is showing the support for the destruction if Islam. Its not called "Learning Islam" is it or "Questioning Islam" - its Anti-Islam. Why must we continue to mentally masturbate around the subject?

Also, how can PRO-groups be offensive in regarding religion? Makes no sense to me. Who are PRO-groups insulting?

This is irrelevant. The group I bring up thoroughly believes the total opposite to what you assert. This specific group goes about their beliefs though in a mature manner. They do not insult the adherents of this religion or mock the religion itself, they simply criticise it. They do however uphold the believe that this religion is dangerous and ought not have any followers.

Why should they be banned? Because they 'offend' people? What if a lot of people are offended by having their political ideology made fun of or criticised? Should therefore satire or criticism of their political ideology be banned?

Freedom of Speech and people getting offended will inevitably happen. People have no right to ban harsh criticism or mockery because it 'offends' them. Sensitivities ought not guide the law.

Referring to this group in the original post - simply because they are Anti-Islam is not warrant to have them banned. It is only warrant if they call for violence or infringe upon the code of conduct outlined in the website they established it on.

And how do you know they aren't constructive? They might actually have very good viewpoints. Or at least maturely constructed viewpoints.

How is it that you can defend what you don't know then?

As I've said, I suggest you ask them.
I have no interest in loaning groups as such dignity with a Q.


I actually wouldn't. I would defend her integrity.
Just a couple of posts ago,you decided you had thick skin and such happenings didn't move you one way or the other.


So you suspect that it is simply a matter of time when laws are allocated where violence to specific people or to groups of people is in fact, an allocated right?
I don't understand what that means!


Incidents such as this are not the first and will not be the last.
indeed -- what a sad state our world is in!


When did 'folk like me' ever declare such? And on what basis could you imagine that such a morally bankrupt law be passed? Many acts allowing increased sexual liberation are based upon the basis that it is none of the government's business and on the advancement of personal liberty.
You just stated you'd fight for the rights of such groups to do as they please, even if you don't agree with it.. I am just curious as to where you draw the lines? Who defines the lines for you?

H
ow exactly would an act allowing you to kill your neighbour be morally right in any way shape or form? How on earth could it be justified? Such an act would be a direct attack on security and liberty.
I don't know.. I suppose around the same time having an incestuous relationship became justified.. After all who are we to define a 'family unit'?-- That is basically what happens when you push the envelope... what is holding you or anyone back from seeing what next to get away with?

Umm if you are referring to the facebook group, no its goal is not to break the law, rather to denounce Islam. I would say their message isnt without merit either as islam inherently is an expansionistic ideology with manifest destiny and a self proclaimed goal to censor free-speech, retard women's rights and economy, and create a lower standard of living for christians and jews and a no-no for atheists. Only reason I dont join is because I see the vision of Islam "winning" as a pipedream.

That said, unless you can prove (via quotes from the actual site) that they are promoting violence agaisnt muslims, your claims that said group is inherently about breaking laws is frivolous.

As per your assertation that mu sense of justice is 'jaded' I believe your own bias is creating a double-standard for you that you may not be aware of. Simply put, stop muslims from saying the bible and torah are corrupted and perhaps someone will take you seriously. Honestly, disliking Islam does not make one may wish harm or hold hatred on Muslims themselves just as condemning Israreli occupation does not equate anti-semitism.

And some research and studies for your viewing pleasure!
Middle Eastern immigrants were highly educated, with 49 percent holding at least a bachelor's degree, compared to 28 percent of natives.

Median earnings for Middle Eastern men were $39,000 a year compared to $38,000 for native workers.

they tend to be better-educated than native U.S. residents — about half hold bachelor's degrees, compared to 28 percent of natives. They also perform as well economically as natives — 30- and 40-year-old Middle Eastern males with a college education have the same median income as natives, and Middle East immigrants are more likely be self-employed.




Middle Eastern Immigrants in U.S. Educated, Prosperous, Study Says
Gannett News Service, August 15, 2002

(Also ran in Arizona Republic - 8/15)

WASHINGTON — Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States are well educated, earn more money than most Americans and are predominantly Muslim, according to a report released Wednesday.

They also are among the nation's fastest-growing immigrant groups, according to the report issued by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, a think tank that supports reducing the number of immigrants to the United States.

The report says the number of Middle Eastern immigrants increased from fewer than 200,000 in 1970 to almost 1.5 million in 2000. The overall number of foreign-born residents in the United States tripled to 31 million over the same period.

The report offers a rare portrait of an immigrant group that has received intense scrutiny and negative publicity since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Project MAPS, a survey of "Muslims in the American Public Square" conducted in 2001-2002 by researchers at Georgetown University, found that 86 percent of all Muslim professionals were concentrated in three careers: engineering, computer science, and medicine. Law, law enforcement, and politics accounted for a minuscule 0.6 percent. American Muslims, some demographers say, have also been voting well below their numbers in the population -- registering to vote at only half the national rate, according to the 2001 American Religious Identification Survey [PDF], a project of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. "If they ever did play to their weight" in the electoral arena and in Washington, Muslims "would be a much more considerable force in public policy-making," says Steve Clemons, a Democrat who directs the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation in Washington.

It is fresh.. an atheist with some beliefs, when did you evolve those? You confuse 'passion' about something to which one has dedicated a great many year pursuing for 'bias'-- I don't imagine you'd relate to that given your superficial knowledge of most any topic you engage!

"A bias is a prejudice in a general or specific sense, usually in the sense for having a preference to one particular point of view or ideological perspective. However, one is generally only said to be biased if one's powers of judgment are influenced by the biases one holds, to the extent that one's views could not be taken as being neutral or objective, but instead as subjective. A bias could, for example, lead one to accept or deny the truth of a claim, not on the basis of the strength of the arguments in support of the claim themselves, but because of the extent of the claim's correspondence with one's own preconceived ideas. This is called confirmation bias."

Lets see, Muslims can create groups on Facebook promoting Islam while denouncing Atheism, while athiests cant create a group promoting atheism and denouncing Islam. You are right, that makes perfect sense and is perfectly fair, how did I ever accuse you of a bias?:rolleyes:

Cute, but its a red herring.

This is simple to demonstrate. Go outside and ask non-muslim women how eager they are to give up their right of freedom of dress. For more of a giggle, also ask them how eager they are to give up freedom of a proper education (for Afgany Shar'ia) or freedom to drive (for Saudi Shar'ia) etc.



No it really doesn't!

Really? I thought confusing women's rights with simply women is pretty bad. Perhaps you were just doing some selective reading eh?


where have you shown me that?

I can't say that like wise I enjoyed it.. anymore than your piteous endeavors at adult communication. You don't reason well, I suspect since all your info either comes from wiki or your ten o'clock news? That is if in fact you watch it in full so on some level it would amend and reflect in your thought processes and written word... your wit is sophomoric at best.. that aside you'd be glad to know that western women who embrace Islam convert at a rate of 5-1 .. I suppose they are not all suffering your brand of cachinnation?.. civility, intellect and women's rights believe it or not isn't contingent upon how much clothes you take off or put on. In fact, it is mandatory of Jews as well as christians observe the same dress code!
Curious .. have you ever lived in saudi Arabia?-- I have lived there for four years and I guarantee, the lowliest scullery maid is still better educated than you...
and on a last note.. neither Saudi Arabia, nor Afghanistan follow shari3a law... Again some proper reasoning and even light reading would evince that, in an Islamic state there is a khilafah not a monarchy!

The highlight of my evening was to kill a mocking bird..regrettably, your brand of entertainment couldn't butter your bread, thus I hope you invest in some basic vocational training to foster self esteem!

Im trying to find said offensive group (F-- Islam) and it seems in the heat of the debate there has been a number of copycats in the spirit of trolling and flamming.

To quote Zero Punctuation (favorite e-ranter) "the crowd online can at best be described as lively, and at worst, as a bunch of hooting ******!"

That said, there does some to be some level of fairness.

Looking at just the first 10pgs of 60 or so pgs of hits for my search, I see
F Atheists
F Jews
F Creater of the group we are discussing
F all religious ppl
F anyone who likes Dawkins
F Americans
F ninjas
etc.

Dont feed the trolls folks. Its dangerous to your health!

I found the group.

"The Quran contains many lies and threats. Islam is false, no god exists, and someone should say that loud and clear. Heaven and hell are fables, prayer is a waste of time, and angels and jinn are obviously mythology.
This is not a group against Muslims. They have it bad enough. If you doubt that go to Palestine. If you hate Muslims or are here to harrass them or promote your religion, go away. Muslims can be and usually are peaceful and respectful.
The best thing for the whole world is a rej
ection of all religions and a renewed discovery of the love for humanity and naturalism.
F Christianity and Judaism as well. These religions are just as false and have a variety of disadvantages. There are other groups devoted to each of these false ideologies. Here is one devoted to religion in general: http://unm.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2225572075
and here is one for Christianity: http://unm.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5857745671"

Seems like nothing more than a group of secular humanists have a problem with religion. Whats so offensive about it?

There should be no special treatment allocated
I keep reading about how Islam & Muslims shouldn't get "special treatment," or be "appeased," or have laws "changed" for us, or "infringing on their freedom of speech," etc.

Yet, you can't say anything about Jews, or you're labeled as an anti-Semite and you have your credibility destroyed.

You can't say anything negative about African-Americans, or else.

You can't say anything about women, or else.

You can't say anything about gays, or else.

And so on.

That's special treatment and had laws created to specifically deal with them and their violaters.

What a load of crap. Their hypocrisy is absolutely nauseating...

If some one finds something offensive who are you to try and enforce your opinion on them and tell them they are wrong in finding it offensive and you are right?

I will repeat what I said in another post:

[PIE]I remember during my work Induction, when talking about conduct towards colleagues, we discussed where to draw the line between socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The answer was it varies for every individual, you may be able to say things that appear as a joke or jest to some and to others it is offensive and harmful. I myself at work or at home, many times made comments which I thought were justified and acceptable only to learn that the person listening did not see it in the same light therefore I apologise promptly as that was not my intention. I could have gone in the other direction, insisting I was right, but man that never leads to any constructive development in relationship with others. Similiarly the people in Denmark who have hurt the feelings of billions of Muslims is socially unacceptable whatever their intentions may have been and it is only natural for them to apologise.

Non-Muslims should bear in mind we are taught to Love and respect our prophet(Peace be upon them) to such an extent we do not associate lies with them or entertain ourselves or make jokes of them at their expense. You can say we are being shallow minded in comparison to other religious groups but that argument flies on both sides as we can say the ones offending us have little or no knowledge of what they were about. They are a mercy from Allah(SWT) upon mankind, and to make fun of them is to make fun of God. We Muslims loathe anyone who does this to any of our Prophets at the same time aknowledging they do nothing but spit at a fan.
I Urge all non-Muslims, regardless of what you think of the matter as it would be a kindness on your part and a sacrifice for the greater good, to stop encouraging such things as it does nothing but harm our relationship.
[/PIE]

It just frustrates me that these sites, so full of BS, get publicity- In an Islamic Forum No less LOL. Although I did enjoy Sister PurestAmbrosias and Snakelegs Posts :thumbs_up ;D

How is it offensive to expess ones views? It seems folks have a problem that non-muslims exist as opposed to anything about the group itself

This is dangerous stuff. It leads to censorship based on fear of offense. If a person for example has a thoroughly negative view of Muhammad and wants to express such a view in either artwork or literature - he or she should be able to do so irrespective of the feelings of a particular group. Such is the freedom of expression that ought to exist.

Freedom of speech means immediately that some people are inevitably going to get offended or find fault. If you censor speech based on 'offense' then ultimately you lose a good amount of criticism on all things.

How is the group "anti-Islamic"? It merely promotes secular humanism. That said, Ill say wait and see in terms of weather or not Islam gets wiped out. So many cultures and religions ahve claimed to be eternal and time made hypocrites of them all :D

Well, to be honest, Ive given consideration to Islam being a true religion and what I would do if it were the case. After much deliberation I decided that even if I found out 2morrow Islam is true, I would curse God until I died, then curse some more while I sat in hell.

I have no option to opt out of eternity and enjoy oblivion, then why worship a being who seeks to torture me regardless of the my actions?

well what use would that be. you can curse all you lke, you can't turn it around.
regardless of your actions??? no no, you got it wrong. why would so many uslims be fasting today/tomarrow if they were going to hell, regardless if they fasted or not. same applies to every other act of worship. whats the point of that. why would we be doing acts of worhip, in hope of reaching paradise, if we are going to be condemed to hell, regardless of or actions??

Atleast understand, why you feel soo "tortured" while muslims don't? Was we given some drug to make us that way which you didn't?

The point here regarding Islam's supposed truth and Islam's supposed infallibility is irrelevant. Why should something being a 'fact' mean there cannot be any opposition to it?

Your assertion rests on your opinion that Islam is true. Lots of other people (about 80% of the globe) do not think so.

Does the site encourage violent attacks on Muslims? If so- close it down & jail the criminals who have put it up.

Is the site saying, Allah dosnt exist and mohammed was a murderer based on their reading of scripture?

Thats their right to free speech, wether they are correct or not.

Simply open a facebook page saying Allah is real and Mohammed was the most perfect Human.
Would you then like to see that page attacked for existing?

Yes, you can say they are all opinions and criticisers - but then you would be a blind fool. They are offensive period which could cause ratial, political or religious hatred, end of - nothing productive could ever come out of any of these - to discuss further into it is just a mental masturbation game of running in circles, and if anyone wishes to enage in that I kindly ask that you try go outside a little :|?

Except Islam is an ideology that can be abandoned and as such no way comparable to Racism. Its like being Anti-communist, anti-Nazi, anti-capitolist etc.

As I said before, it would seem the only offense these folks commited is showing muslims other view pts exist.

Not comparable? Go ask any Muslim - if he will be more offended if you made a remark of his skin colour or if you made one of his religion. Go ask before you make assumptions. Go ask other religious people, go ahead. Id rather have people make a remark about a physical trait rather than my fatih - my way of life.

If it is so offensive, why am I even allowed on the boards? I am a self-proclaimed atheist and as such inherently deny everything you believe. By having 'Atheist' under the religion I am showing I openly disagree with your ideology, which is exactly the same as the group did.

You are tolerant of Islam, thats why. We are talking about tolerance. Anti-Anything is intolerance. Its not the same thing as not believing in Islam and mocking Islam, insulting their ways etc. Their is definatly a clear differential.

If you was insulting to Islam openly here, you will definatly get hostile responses. Saying "I don't believe in Islam" is not insulting, thats just a personal belief of yourself. If you said "Muslims are dirty suicide bombers, terrorirsts etc", well, thats another story.

Lets not pretend these groups are civil, that is going in those circles of mental masturbation. The intention is clearcut.

What intention and lack of disrespect are you talking about? The intend and msg of the group have been posted in reply #51 (p4). The msg is simply "We feel Islam is wrong, love others". There is no difference between my expression of lack of faith and there's.

If I am mistaken, plz quote and highlight something in their msg that is different from what I would say if you asked me about my opinion of Islam.

Defintion: Anti - Opposed to somthing.

Defintion: Opposed - Acting against or in opposition.

Hmm, against or opposition to Islam? What does that mean? Opposing its existance?...

Somehow, Anti-Islam group - would be insulting to me.

Oh, btw:

The administrator of a Facebook group called **** Islam had his account suspended, according to Mashable. The administrator’s account was suspended apparently after Facebook’s attention was called to the group by a petition signed by 58,000 of the service’s users.
Ahem, peaceful? I doubt it. Btw, that blanked out word begins with F and ends with uck and is not firetruck.

Infact, reading alot into it, no one proclaimed its peace, it clearly seemed to give a hateful message, stated by pretty much every source.

Btw,
The Quran contains many lies and threats.
This is a bold statement considering they have not an atom of proof of these insulting allegations.

If an atheist considered the Qur'an a book of truths, he would cease to be an atheist wouldnt he?

As per threats, what exactly is it that God says he'll do to unbelievers again?

The entire thing was overhyped coupled with a victem complex. I have yet to see how or why this group should be shut down unless one cant understand there are opposing views.

I suggest then that you accept that there are people who do believe Islam is entirely false and do believe it is dangerous. These people that believe such are not necessarily violent or hating Muslims, they are merely showing contempt towards the ideology.

This is a case of horrendous political correctness. You do not, I do not and no-one has to be tolerant of anything and no-one has to respect anything. It is the most horrendous insult to freedom of expression in the modern age that such 'tolerance' and 'respect' to all ideologies (although it is usually referred to religious faiths) has to exist amongst people. It does not.

Anyone can respect your right to have specific beliefs but it does not mean that we have to respect those actual beliefs. By asserting that all 'intolerance' or 'disrespect' should be banned is condemnable.

That is your big flaw. You simply can't understand the possibility of this being a civil group.

Even Stormfront is a civil group (at least concerning the administrators, moderators and veteran members). The ones who run the place.

Opposing Islam does not necessarily opposing its universal existence. It could imply the opposition of the rise of Islam in specific countries, for example.
