Does Islam teach intolerance?

Re: Does Islam teach intolerance?

@underthedome

So you base your respect and value for people based on their skin color, nationality, and culture? At least you’re open and honest about your blatant racism.
Now is this what Islam teaches? This thread seems to shows there is split opinion if this is the case or not.

Firstly, I never said that I am a perfect representative of Islam, and secondly you are mixing up two different issues here

Your orignal question was :

Do Muslims respect/ value other Muslims more than non-Muslims?

To which I said “Yes I value other muslims more than non-muslims.”
But Islam is only one criteria, I can respect and value people for so many other reasons too…

You deduced

No I don’t. What I’m seeing in code red is a sense that those unlike him are inferior, Now does he believe that this is a lesson that Islam teaches him, if so why?

Great !. Now dont tell me you work for Fox news

Respecting and admiring someone is one thing and tolerance is something else. It would be nonsnese if you deduce that “since you dont respect them, it actually means you want to kill them or see them inferior”

For example :

I can not and I will not respect the lifestyle of homosexuals. I can not and I will not respect those who humiliate and tortured prisoners by burning their holy books. I can not respect those who kill innocent children, women and men. List is long..

But on the other hand I do not see homoseuals as inferior in any sense. Why should I ? They are human being like me, may be far superior intelectually and more humane. I would appreciate him/her if they pass on some knowledge to me, and would be grateful, but still wont respect their lifestyle

Call me biased, racist, fundamentalist whatever. But thats how mankind works. We all are biased against one group of people or other, whether you accept it or not.
