Many people in west are moving away from christianity (due to teachings like "jesus is the only way")toward becoming atheists or other eastern philosophies like buddhism. You don't see them being charged under blasphemy laws..do you? can a muslim afford to do that?
Yes, they are. That's true, almost everywhere in the developed world, as societies evolved, people became less and less religious and many identify themselves as atheists now.
So, what exactly does this have to do with Islamic or indeed Christian. But this proves little in what you're trying to say.
And a for the part in bold, how is that relevant? I'll let you in to a little secret, when in a debate people go off topic and take pot shots, it DEEPLY irritates me. I'm a Muslim, I live like a Muslim, and I don't wan't to see any blasphemy law in the society I'm in and I don't hold any desire for me or my government/court/law representatives to enforce such things as blasphemy laws.
Even bigger issue then islamic teachings here is its followers who would act violently because that's what they are taught. You tell a kid that this is the only way right and other ways wrong...that kid will act that way when he grows up.
Just what the hell does this have to do with anything? Muslims are fools, yes we know, we've had crazy people.
You teach any kid, any ideology, give him a few intolerant ideals alongside that, and give him a purpose to that intolerance and you will have other ideological equivalent of extremists.
So now tell me, just what are you debating here friend, you are taking one random pot shot after another.
Please explain it in one simple sentence below, before you procede:
A religion that tells its followers my god is the only one...is clearly a sign of intolerance in my book. So as long as one holds these types of beliefs...does not belong to civilized society Period!
Pretty much all religions are like that.
And here's the irony, one minute you talk about intolerance and then you have the nerve to say THAT last line in bold.
