Convert from Islam to Christianity becomes victim of hate crime

[Revi]

Violence is a product of individual miseducation, if someone beats a person who decided to convert to another religion it's not because his religion (primarily) told him so, it's because he is a violent jerk. Also, all religions punish those who leave them. Yes there are violent uneducated Muslim jerks, but I am an educated one, and my parents educated me in a way to not give a shit if someone decided to worship a bunny, a dick or Chubaka ... mis-education is the problem, not the religion.

There is a thing we do where we project our own attitudes towards religion onto others. So if we're not dictated by religion, or don't think it could actually give mandate to cause harm, we believe other people are the same way and simply use it as an excuse. The west does this toward all religious conflicts and groups the world over. Religion doesn't have the same hold on us, so we don't think it has that kind of hold on anyone.

I think that's a pretty big mistake, a bias we should try to look past. For a lot of people religion IS true, it's not just a comfort or cultural practice, or something vaguely "spiritual". For a lot of people it does dictate behavior, it does give mandate to harm, it does demand and instill certain values.

The practice of constantly shifting any causation away from religion is grounded in our own bias. It's certainly appropriate in many cases, but it's not a rule that you can blindly apply to everything because the idea that religion could be bad makes you uncomfortable.

Tell me how I was punished for leaving christianity? Because I don't know.

You miss all those lovely sermons, the horror!

Seems like they don't count "wars". Meaning Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and such. Only terrorist acts caused by different organizations.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it,Muslims are responsible for the vast majority of the world's violence.

Ah ok that makes sense

You're right, it's not. But it shouldn't be that way and it's sad.

It's not really practiced in most low to mid modern Islamic countries. But it is unfortunately stated to be done. The only way I can even rationalize it is around those olden times there were foreign spies who lied about being Muslim and intended to cause harm. A couple of wars even started soon after between different sects of Islam mostly due to such dissenters. But yeah no still doesn't justify it whatsoever.

Sure. Syria is much more peaceful or Iraq. Or Afghanistan, or Nigeria. And one can not argue that North Korea is very peaceful.
