Ajax. You're right. Islam is not an entity. Nazism was not an entity. Both are ideologies, and ideologies have followers. The goal of Islam, like Nazism, is the extermination of the unbelievers (especially jews), and the establishment of a worldwide Calphate. Let's start with the jews:
One hadith says:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).Sahih Muslim, 41:6985, see also Sahih Muslim, 41:6981, Sahih Muslim, 41:6982, Sahih Muslim, 41:6983, Sahih Muslim, 41:6984, Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:56:791,(Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:52:177)
These ahadith are considered Sahih (authentic). The Quran is similar. Read Sura 9, the last chapter written which abrogates all previous, if you want to see what it says about how unbelievers should be killed, subdued, or enslaved wherever they are found. It's quite explicit, and not really subject to interpretation.
See. I just don't see the logic with tolerating an intolerant ideology. People don't tolerate Nazism. Why do they tolerate Islam? Is it that enough time has passed for it to become accepted? Is it that Nazism was never declared a religion? Do people assume that all religions are the same? When Synanon declared itself a religion, did that suddenly mean it was benign?
If you tolerate Islam, you tolerate intolerance. You tolerate it's commands to beat women. You tolerate it's tolerance of rape. You tolerate it's commands to commit genocide. I'm not saying that all who
claim to follow Islam actually do these things. I'm saying the ideology itself is toxic and those who follow it are by definition violent. Military Jihad is not a small part of islam. It's a very large part. The religion was invented to justify the actions of a warlord, after all. Us foreign policy is hardly perfect but that doesn't in any way mean that there isn't danger out there or that Islam is not a threat.
