Is Islam harmful to humans?
OP - April 03, 2010, 02:56 AM

Just want your opinion, friends.

If you think any other option should be added, tell me and I will do it. You can vote for any three options at the most. This is to ensure that if you agree or disagree with more than one option, you can express your opinion.

Thanks.

All superstition is harmful to modern man

The foundation of superstition is ignorance, the
superstructure is faith and the dome is a vain hope. Superstition
is the child of ignorance and the mother of misery.

May be add an option for "It is harmful for those who follow it and those affected by terrorism, but not harmful to people who come across it"

1, 2, and 6.

I don't think it's harmful to all those who follow it or all those who come across it.

Nevertheless, I think it's a very malicious and harmful ideology in most cases and I would happily do away with it.

If you have different versions of Islam in your mind, you are free to take your pick.

There's hardly anything humans do that isn't harmful in one way or another.

Well., Muhammad's Islam that comes out of Quran/Hadith and Sunnah if any one follows strictly, then without doubt it is bad and in fact CRIMINAL . But we know well that all Muslims do not follow those preachings of Mr. Muhammad. Some do follow some selective Islam that they make out of Quran, Hadith and Sunnah + their culture. For me, if people wants to follow such Islam, It doesn't matter and I don't care. Let me give an example of a Man.. Abdul Sitar Edhi ..

read about him..
http://www.edhifoundation.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Sattar_Edhi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1thfdVN_hcE&feature=related

And you can Google Abdul Sitar Edhi to read more. So certainly I will not be worried If all Muslims of this planet follows Abdul Sitar Edhi's Islam..

with best regards

Islam is anti-human.... it's a submission to God.... when push comes to shove and they have to make a choice between doing right by a person and doing what their God wants, they will opt for the latter..... it's a betrayal of mankind.... treachery.

Any version of Islam sans Muhammad, Quran/Hadith is not Islam at all. Anyone following any such thing is not a Muslim by definition. So, your attempt to divert the issue is a futile exercise in obfuscation.

Anyway, now that I have made it clear that this poll is talking of Islam which is dependent on Muhammad, Quran and Hadith, are you going to vote for an option?

By definition is not the same as in reality. Many people who consider themselves Muslim practice Islam to a certain extent while leaving many parts they don't like or don't want to do.

I fully agree with you except for the fact that such a position lends an unintentional support, legitimacy and impetus to the version of Islam the world if becoming gradually wary of.
