What makes Islam so special?

No one in my Muslim community even does that, they're all moderates. In fact in my local Mosque the Molisabs there have openly discouraged wife beating, contrary to what radicals do.

Liberal Christians worship the same sky fairy that inspires African Christians to burn children alive as witches, and evangelical Christians to advocate putting LGBT Americans in concentration camps.

The problem is religious fundamentalism.

And what causes the fundamentalism? What causes the dangerous dogma? The books. Some people ignore much of what it says, some do not. But the belief that certain books are of divine origin provides the basis for dangerous dogma.

If two people read the same book and arrive at different interpretations, then the book itself cannot be said to be the cause.

There are usually other factors at play, such as culture and education.

🙄 The same tired argument.
