Well if you like a state that is basically surrounded by puppet states as well as committing terrorism. Really I hate the Islamic state, not Muslims as a group really, but it wouldn't exist without Islam so yes.

Well they are the kind of people who if you don't agree with what they say, they will take a violent approach instead of reasoning with your ideology and explaining why their ideology is right and ours is flawed. They also come up with laws that take away basic human rights, that many people don't agree with, which creates tension. Based on that note, I am going to say that yes, it would be a better place without Islam.

But keep in mind that this isn't all Muslims. Persians/Iranians are one of the least religious and most educated in the Middle East. Even in your country, they're statistically one of the wealthiest and most educated ethnic groups.

No, my point is to not judge all Muslims because of their religion. I'm a Christian Persian, and our success statistics across the West are due to a deeply embedded importance of education in our culture, which is why you don't see other Middle Eastern groups across the West with similar statistics. Most Persians are Muslim, but majority are not religious. They should be judged for their contributions, not the religion that was forced upon them hundreds of years ago when the Arabs invaded the Persian Empire.

Removing a philosophy or a religion that says to kill those that disagree with you and that they are beyond change would probably make the world less violent, but I can't say for certain, knowing humans we would just find something to replace it

Islam (and religion in general) is an expression of something more deep and fundamental about humans. To claim that any single religion is "bad" is to ignore what's really going on. As QT-1 from I,Robot taught me beliefs aren't the problem, it's how they're applied.

But the beliefs play somewhat of a role, at least in corrupting or reprogramming the human mind or giving those that already thought such things a reason to act on these inner thoughts

Yes, but they might have seeked out other reasons regardless. The reason for a belief is also important. Do they believe it because there's no way to know the real answer and their mind craves one? Or do they believe it because they want an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyhow?

Well with religion I think it's B, and I agree I think most of these terrorists would have probably done bad things anyway in the name of something else, the problem is that the religion makes these individuals with sick thoughts come together and have a common goal and target

Don't expect to be treated any better when you make yourself seem idiotic by pejoratively trying to dismiss historical facts as someone's delusional idea of what actually happened. Do at least minimal research before you try to initiate a "debate" about something that is factual and you know nothing about.

Everyone who voted A doesn't understand history and what effect religion has on it. Not trying to talk sh!t to you or anything but you don't seem to understand that those small tribes in the Arabian Peninsula that later became an empire have a huge impact on why the modern world is modern, Islam doesn't have anymore bad effect on the world than any other religion.(Just my opinion, Don't lynch me too hard) @kaphokis

I understand what you're saying, and I don't think the Quran or Islam itself is evil. But while Christians, Jews, Taoists, and Buddhists view war as a tool to be used only when absolutely necessary, Islam actively encourages jihad. And whether or not Muhammad was justified in his numerous wars, you have to admit he sets a really violent example for his followers. I won't defend the corrupt early Catholics or anything, but looking at the core beliefs, Islam is pretty brutal.

Look up Jihad and the Islamic ethics of war, No aggression but if you do get in war, no killing of trees, babies, women, kids, aged people, no destroying buildings and no mutalation of bodies. I'm doing Jihad right now, Jihad against ignorance.

As for Muhammad(peace be upon him) He did fight the Quresh and other tribes who opposed the Muslims, if you do look up these tribes your view on him will change because of how much the Quresh and other tribes oppressed people.
