Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

About the only way we're going to actually have a democracy is if they consistently lose elections. That's going to mean volunteering, donating, and actually turning out to vote

I remember someone studying Koran vs. “the” bible and showing that even the text is more genocidal than the Koran.

That'd be impossible, I've read the Bible in my childhood quite a lot and I'm usually familiar with bad places people bring up.

With Quran it's like the pool is much bigger, many such quotes from it I occasionally hear\read are new to me, and I've also been consulted by a few people who are (but mostly were), well, Muslim.

And while it's not a good thing religiously for Muslims to translate it, plenty of translations exist.

So I think you should stop lying.

so I’m not sure it’s all that relevant, but…definitely a lot of xtians need to know.

You are talking out of your ass.

Not everything published is a source.

Well, I'd appreciate it if you retract such statements like I'm lying, talking out of my ass, etc. What I was talking about is completely a thing, as you can see from the link.

I won't, because you are lying and talking out of your ass, and from your link I can only see that someone wrote an article supporting in tone some position.

There are a few specific obviously false statements there, of the "religion of peace" and "clean Wehrmacht" kind, which Muslims and Nazis tell to justify their ideology, about Jihad specifically. Like telling "it's a widespread myth" about something which is not a myth. Nobody argues that Jihad as a concept is wider than "holy war against infidels", but that is by far the most common meaning among Muslims.

I've seen plenty of articles supporting one or another position on many subjects, sometimes opposite to each other on the same thing. I've also written plenty of school essays rotating my positions on subjects depending on how bored I was, I'm sure you have done that too.

Quran is simply much bigger than Bible, and based on it, so almost every cannibalistic place in the latter has a parallel just as bad in the former, but not the other way around.
