Islam is a pro-Aspergers religion (unlike Christianity)

Possibly, and it could just be that I am just very very ignorant of the distinctions. Honestly, my interaction with Islam is pretty slight.

There are many fault lines in Islam.

When it comes to Muslims in North America, I tend to think at least Muslism who immigrate to Canada from overseas tend to be more liberal than the Islamic norm. Hell, the Canadian Muslim Congress wanted to ban the burqa while the Canadian Secular Alliance did not.

Canadian Muslims may be more liberal, but there is a strong contingent of hard-right Muslims in America. (Strong obviously being relative to our total Muslim population, not relative to the whole US)

Islam has its own codes and rites to conform to.

But they better follow state and federal law while here.

Yeah, but you're knowledgeable enough to know it's the same as Marxism and Catholicism . That's good enough for evangelical Christians!

It isn't THE SAME! Rather, Catholicism INVENTED Islam. I mean, gee whiz, I thought you would know this. You need to read more Jack Chick.

Islam came into being without any help from the Roman Catholic Church.

We're refering to a satrical attack ad Awesomelyglorious wrote during the "Most Strident Atheist" contest in which, to make matters interesting, I had decided to start backing Dent publically to make the race interesting (as nobody was campaigning against AG).

AG based the "Islam is spawned by Catholicism" spiel on the basis of a cartoon by true scholar (I mean that sarcastically) Jack Chick.

Hello all, I used to be a non-denomintional christian until last year. In church, many so-called "Christians" would make fun of me and bully, and especially make fun of my aspergers-induced quirks and idiosyncracies. I found this to be the case at EVERY church I went to. I blelieve this is because Christianity does not tolerate any kind of deviance from the norm. I mean when you look at the bible and read all of its silly morals and laws, its basically anti-aspergers, anti-nonconformist, pro-neurotypical, pro-conformist propaganda. It didn't matter if I was in a catholic church, a othodox synagogue or whatever... every Xtian place of worship was full of serious people who did not appreciate it my dark sense of humur and penchant for satire...

But then I started reading about Islam and it seemed like a much more accepting relgioun. I started going to Masjid ("mosque", to you heathens) and it was so much more welcoming than any chrurch i have ever been too... I felt like all us Muslims there were one big family, and actually, in Allahs eyes, we are. Nobody made a big deal about me being an aspie, or being a satirist... i went to at least 3 mosques in my area, and my experienc was the same at each one. I also found other muslim aspies who have reported the same opinions, they're all happier as Muslims! i think have found the best religion not just for myself but for all Apsergians and all mankind. What do you think? Do you all think that Islam is the best faith for Aspies? Do you think that maybe it was just the Christians in my area that were stuck up and stupid, or is xtianity in general just a dum and close-minded religion?

However, the Crusades started by the management of the RC Church managed to make relations between Muslims and Christians difficult, to say the least.

I'm really tired of everyone blaming our relationship with muslims on the crusades. aren't we forgetting a certain general Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi who invaded Spain and Portugal with the intent of storming across all of europe and wiping out Christianity altogether centuries before the crusades, until we was finally stopped in France by Charles "the hammer" Martel and his army at the battle of tours? (Also would have made a much better movie than 300)remember that? or did your history class not consider that important?
