The mysterious disappearing thread

So...

Last night I started a thread called "This is Mohammed" that talked about the Arab prophet Mohammed and linked to a very informative site. That thread is gone.

Is it not acceptable to post something supportive of a religion besides Judaism or Christianity? Is it not acceptable to post something supportive of Islam?

The main purpose of the thread was to show the solid link between Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Because I think the common belief is that Islam is a totally different religion and Allah is a different god. It's never really expressed to me that people understand the prophet Mohammed was a good dude.

    Mr Miller, I don't think you are doing a good service to "our side" by making such comments.

    alright, that one made me snicker a bit ...
    :)

    Anyhow, there's this principle in mindfulness meditation ... Observe things non-judgmentally ... Do not infer too much ... Just observe.
    This thread, like dkst0426 said, is probably doomed. Observe how this state of affairs comes to pass.

    (hint ... How are people responding?)

    Generalizing like you do makes you just the same as any other ignorant extremist.

    So my thread gets deleted because people are bigots?

    Because guys like Miller think all Islam is evil? He can't take the time to read Islamic teachings in order to make an informed opinion. Islam isn't evil.

    You haven't gone to that extreme, but your comments are extreme.

    And neither is Judaism. But yeah ... Some people have trouble separating religious philosophy from the behavior of all the diverse souls who follow it.

    If I may...Islam is obviously not evil. Like all religions it contains truly beautiful teachings right alongside truly dreadful ones. What is important is which of these teachings are given greater emphasis. The tragic thing, at least from my perspective, is that leaving aside the Islamic fringe, meaning muslims in America, and Europe, and in places like Indonesia, the Islamic heartland, ie, the middle east (and persia as well) seems consumed by fundamentalist, jihadist, violent interpretations of the Islamic tradition. I am not suggesting that all muslim believe in this interpretation, but it does seem to be a strain of Islam that carries a lot of currency, and may even be the dominant strain in the world today. And that scares me.

    It scares me too, but I don't know how much of that fear is realistic and how much of it is a lack of knowledge. How many people in these countries really do follow these disgusting extreme takes?
