Islam thread

[kray]

It actually surprises me how so many people commenting on this topic are ignorant about Islam. Leo made a whole video about this topic:

If you guys actually watch Leo's videos and actually digest the information, you should know that ALL religions originally formed for more or less same reasons. As individuals who want to increase consciousness and seek Truth, we need to go out of our way to really know the facts and most of all, truth about something you don't know or have a natural bias towards. Islam being an inherently bad religion is not truth, but rather your OPINION.  Opinions are not the same thing as truth, as something never inherently is good or bad. Islam is essentially just what it is. A tool used by people in what we call today the middle east two-thousand years ago. A tool that many people found self-improvement with. Just like Christianity and Judaism, or any other religion on this planet for that matter.

Leo does have a extremely limited understanding of Islam. Additonally a 1000 year old religion does not have to be fitting for current times and may actually create problems.

@Epikur But that's religion in general, right?

Some religions might fit better than others. Islam is in it's essence an authoritarian religion. Buddhism and Christianity less so.
