    I don't know what's sadder, the fact that you actually believe this makes a case, or the fact that you are filled with this much hate.

    Smoking and eating at McDonalds can be harmful, but we put a label on cigs and educate people about diet instead of executing smokers and publishing a fatwa on Ronald McDonald.

    Please do not give them such an idea, who knows, 2mor Ronald McDonald together with Colonel Sanders may be under a fatwa.

    Cigerattes are not allowed in Islam and we do not execute people who smoke, Islam teaches us to make sure we do not eat excessively (or to the extent that it is harmful for us) but it does not order the execution of people who do so. It is strict on some things and the only thing many of you seem to disagree with is that homos should be executed and science proves that they are dangerous. I challenge any body here to prove to me that homosexuality has no threat to health or to humanity.

    Islam teaches us not to insult others, and teaches us to be examples to the non-muslims and at the same time it teaches us not to lie, or make false claims. That is why when you ask does Islam say to execute homos, i will answer with honesty! Yes it does! When you ask me does islam promote the killing of innocent people? I will answer with honesty and tell you no it does not! Infact there are severe punishments for that! Execution to be specific!

    Scientific evidence does NOT support what you claim.

    Does Islam say to execute those who refuse to be swayed into believing in Islam?

    I haven't ever participated in these threads and I certainly don't claim to be an expert but I just had to comment :)

    Nope. Surah 2, Ayat 256, "There is no compulsion in religion"
    So, if the non-believers want to live in peace, they sure can. We're only supposed to retaliate if they attack us.

    The thing is, we've got an awesome message, guidance etc in the form of Islam. The Muslims just don't follow it right, we ain't disciplined enuff and we interpret the Quran to suit us. :(

    They'd execute you for this, somewhere else in the world. ;)

    How could you have done this in the middle of such a serious discussion to remove the misconceptions about Islam :(

    But on a more serious note, the thread seemed to have failed. IMHO the OP is doing a monologue, giving his views are ok, allowing others to have the rights to differ are as important, it shows tolerance. But from what I read till now, the opinions seemed to be imposed on us rather than any attempt to do otherwise. Nice gesture though.

    Being sexually active, period, increases your risks of many diseases and health conditions. Should we kill heteros too?

    I have a few to add to the list. Politicians certainly have the ability to harm humanity (and in some cases pass on diseases)... can we add them?

    oh,oh,oh... people that drive below the speed limit in the fast lane. I dont respect them anyway... put them on there.

    mrfazee, you use a post from some scientist wannabe's blog and come up here and state that its scientifically proven. In fact, I say you know nothing about Islam...Other Muslims on this thread have followed up and stated that it is un-Islamic to kill, no matter who the person is. This is the major problem in your religion. All of you interpret the koran in your own ways and think your ways are the only way.

    Lets get things straight here! Just for a fact, do not forget that koran is just a copy of the old testament. Mohammad was no god's man. He was a vile, stealing, cheating, swearing criminal who just started out a religion of violence to save himself from the warlords and chiefs he had wronged. Islam is just a branch of Christianity where you follow the teachings of the old testament (of course modified).

    While Christianity and Judaism have moved on by following the good message of the bible, Muslims continue to hold on to the plagiarized version of the old testament and are dumb enough not to recognize what is good and evil.

    That is all to Islam. Nothing more!!!

    By the way, this comes from a atheist's point of view, me!!! and also proven by a Historian.

    What is probably the most offensive aspect of this thread, is that there are people who believe other human beings should be killed because of their sexual orientation.

    On what grounds? because something was said which you disagree with? Censorship is not a form of argument, it's an indication of weakness.

    It must be terrible for the religious living at a time when free speech and descent are encouraged after having centuries of universal protection. But i guess you are just going to have to get used to it. Welcome to the 21st century, Or as i like to call it, The second coming of the enlightenment.
