Muslims took a page out of the Jewish playbook. Make legitimate, rightful and necessary criticism of the bullshit tenets of the farcical religion tantamount to bigotry toward a marginalized ethnic group, and there be shielding the religion from any criticism whatsoever. Making it immune once again to the marketplace of ideas. Religion has been shielded from the marketplace of ideas for 2000 years, because it will not hold up, it will not pass. Or else why shield it. If it is indeed a good idea beneficial to humanity, the marketplace of ideas will bore that out, and for the first time in history we would be sure of the value of religion. But the true critical thinker knows that is an impossibility. Because we know some things with certainty (thru heuristics) like that authoritarianism is bad in all cases, hence an authoritarian religion would also be bad,(reply>), @Empress 25 "In Judaism we teach our kids to love the neighbors, "<br>HA HA HA HA HA. congratulations. you win the comment of the year award. and we are barely into februrary. ha ha ha ha ha. that is totally hillarious. did you mean shoot your neighbors? perhaps its not the comment of the year, and is just a typo......,(reply>), @Asif Khan <br><br>Islam is the opposite to Judaism.<br>In Judaism we teach our kids to love the neighbors, that their "believe" doesn't matter, only their acts matter and that in the afterlife they will rest with their neighbors.<br><br>Islam teaches to hate those who "don't believe", the Quran repeats over and over that the neighbors should be killed and that they will burn in Hell.<br><br>Jews are 0.2% of the world population (not 5%), everyone can convert to Judaism (if there is a Jew community in the area), but no one must to, and in order to convert, they person must study A LOT, learn Hebrew, learn the Jews tests, traditions, live as a Jew, it takes over a year and if the person decides that this path is not for him/her, no problem, no bad feelings. After ~a year or more, a committee of scholars decide if the intentions are genuine and if the person studied enough,(reply>), islam = judaism for the gentiles (99.5% of humanity)<br>judaism = god consciousness for a select 0.5% of humanity,(reply>), Dear liar or ignorant? Abdul, if those Arabs took a Jewish page, they didn't know how to read it. Also,  probably that did that out of envy, because Arabs had no impressive ancestors to follow, they decided to follow the Jews'… e.g. Moses. Did Moses want to be a prophet of the Arabs? He could but he did not what to, thus," WOW this is so pathetic.<br>Anyway"," to the 'entertainment':<br>Whoever wrote about Miriam's mother of Jesus in the Quran (Uthman?) that person was an ignorant on the matter and did not know that there were 2 Miriam figures!: Miriam the Prophetess and Miriam mother of Jesus", making them one Miriam! Hahahah :0D : By the Quran  Miriam mother of Jesus had a brother called Aharon &amp; a father called Imran, those are the father and brother of Miriam the Prophet," :0D (Miriam mother of Jesus had no brother and her father name was Joachim)<br><br>This is THE most dumb and funny mistake in the Quran"," in my opinion.<br><br>Re Judaism vs islam ideology: Islam is the OPPOSITE to Judaism in all the mayor field"," hereunder are 3 examples:<br><br>1)To force people to "believe" = Islam.  By Judaism no one must convert to Judaism", there can be good people who are not Jews, and Heaven is not for "Jews only", as in Islam is for "Muslims only". Islam is all aboiut forcing the whole world to believe in "Allah" and worship Muhammad<br><br><br>2)	Afterlife: Judaism is focused in this life = Haim. Islam is focused in the afterlife, this life is short, the next is eternal and carnal.  Islma is the only  "religion" which offers sex in the afterlife (with an endless number of beautiful women, which became virgin again every day).<br> By Judaism and all the religions," in the afterlife there is spiritual rest or incarnation. Not sex.<br>Hell: hell world is largely described in the Koran. By Judaism it doesn’t even exist<br>Also", the Islam ideology makes men obsessed about the afterlife, as Omar Suleiman.  In Judaism the rewards are given in the life," Judaism is totally focused in contribution to this life. <br>By Judaism Heaven is for most of humans", and as said," there is no need to convert.<br><br>3)	By Judaism God judges acts", not "believes". By Judaism God Judges "deeds" not "believes". This is also why pagans as Jethro, King Cyrus, who were wise people with many good acts, are probably in Heaven by Judaism. By Judaism the smart Hindus, Japanese, Koreans, they probably will go to Heaven by their good acts, there is not need to "convert to Judaism. Atheists also go to Heaven," there is no dumb demand to "believe".<br>I guess I don't need to 'elaborate'"," the Islam totally wrong standing in this topic too<br><br>The pedophilia in the Islam ideology? Wow… so evil"
