May I ask where you live?

However, knowing that the only way to overcome a fear about a thing is to actually begin to know about it, one needs to refer to the references of the religous knowledge and then perform critical thinking over the higlights with the experts of the issue.

What do commoners do nowadays? Well, they seem to find any person who claim to be Muslim and justify the hatred on their ignorance. Same could be done to any follower of any belief or ideology today. But hey, we are talking about a religion which is followed by nearly 2 billion people today. Come on guys… If all would be extremists, there would not be life on the surface of the beautiful earth. Extremism is itself a made up strategy that came out after WW1 to use the ignorance of some people (Yeah, ‘some’ people. I mean, if billions of people would explode themselves, probably Norway would get seperated from Europe geologically and begin floating towards north pole.).

Let’s put it in a correct frame, Islam is not extremely tolerant. Islam is tolerant. A Muslim can co-exist with non-Muslims with respecting their way of life while preserving himself in his own religious limitations. This is called social integration. Expecting a Muslim to be assimilated (e.g.: forcing a lady to remove her Islamic dress, mobbing a Muslim colleauge since he/she has refused to participate in an alcoholic event which is not even relavant to the business) is where one cross the limits of the Islamic tolerance.

One of the many examples of that social integration is Jarusselam under Islamic ruling throughout the history. No no, not from your highschool books. Read the academical work of various experts or just go for the records concerning the Jews and Christians of that time.

Here you have a nice beginning point to intellectually investigate Islam:

You would like to understand what Quran is all about? Read Tafseer (Britannica: Tafsir, the science of explanation of the Qur’an -the sacred scripture of Islam- or of Qur’anic commentary.) instead of the translation. It does not work in the way Bible works.

You would like to have a logical framework of the Islamic belief? Read Risale-i Nur Books:

You would like to understand Muslims? Go share some cup of tea/coffee with them and talk about their history instead of the religion directly. That will give you an understanding of what background pushed that particular person towards your land and/or his/her roots.

You would like to have a happy life? Don’t just ask questions, go for the answers. You won’t find the answer at first trial most often. Keep trying if you care.

Ah, but if you are a person who is mainstream media addicted, not knowing how to learn something, and therefore getting fed by whatever the information is given to you… Well, as you wish then. Sorry for you.

Muslims should develop Scandinavophobia – an aversion to tall, overfed, white, privileged people. Meanwhile fix your problem with Putin

I have never seen so many wrong things said in 5 sentences. Do your research about Islam and how jews, christians, and hindus lived under islamic rule. Anyone that forces islam on other people is not a true muslim.

Do you say Muslims are “extremely tolerant”?
Tell that to Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Theo van Gogh, and the other endless victims of Muslim tolerance.

So in my opinion all the form of extremism are to be opposes otherwise these Stupids will keep creating problems in our societies.
In Islam there is a full right of difference of opinions.

These extremists ha been preposedly been funded by the wester hypocrites, capitalistic elite, so world expect from you civilized word to stand against this and make the world better then just being an hypocrite.

Please could you share some of your scientific proof?
Is it true Muslims are allowed to marry nine year old girls?
I understand you believe it to be acceptable because your prophet did it, but why in this 21st Century ?
Why do you not accept criticism of your religion!
Why are the laws of Norway not acceptable to you?

What do you have to say about “ The Taliban “ in Afghanistan? When Muslims take power they are as bad if not worse than the Taliban!
Why do you have to force people to follow Islam?
Muslims , Christians, Jews and Hindus could never live peacefully together because Muslims (all Muslims) are extremists and promote Mohammed as the only prophet!

If you read my comment again, you’ll see that my criticism was primarily aimed at the article itself, rather than Islam. However, you’re right that I’m critical of Islam too (full disclosure: I’m an atheist, and I’m also critical of Christianity and other religions). You claim that Muslims are “extremely tolerant”. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. When I criticize Islam, I am usually told to shut up and “respect” the religion. … By the way, to take just one example, can you provide “scientific proof” of the belief that jihadists who are killed will get 72 virgins in heaven?
