Do liberals know that Mohammed owned and traded slaves?


Do they feel it's time to cancel Islam?

reply

There are slave owners in the Bible so we should cancel Christianity too.

reply

Jesus didn't own slaves but liberals have already been trying to cancel Christianity for years. "Too"? So you do feel it's time to cancel Islam?

Should the mob starting tearing down mosques along with monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson?

reply

Slavery in biblical times isn't the slavery we know in recent history. It was a way to pay a debt. They willingly were slaves for a certain period of time till their debt was paid.
So please don't compare apples to oranges.

I'm going to go out on a limb, without citing any references, and say this is bullshit. You lose the battle, you're enslaved.

But this reminds me of a scene from "Quo Vadis" (1951) where some Roman dude is checking out a lady slave, and he tells here to put her hands behind her head, and she does, raising her ample bosom... BONER CITY!

I think Pharaoh and the Jews, Moses, Aaron are in the Bible...

reply

Tell that to Barrabas, and the hundreds of thousands of Roman slaves, a huge amount of them rebelled.

reply

Horseshit. Biblical slavery was worse. Exodus lays out exact details on the slavery of Hebrews and how to treat them.

reply

The Left is scared of offending Muslims.

reply

Everyone was doing the slave thing in the long time ago days. Sucked for you if you didn't come from noble blood.

Canceling something that has practically no agency is a waste of time. Christianity holds all the religious cards which bleeds heavily into government including even the likes of Bernie Sanders. By the time Christianity is completely dead, atheism will have taken over leaving Islam equally dead. There's simply no room in the atheistic left for doctrine religions.

However, I will say this. At least Muslims have a good idea what their prophet looked like. Most US Christians bought into the white propaganda of Anglo Jesus:

How would MAGAs react if Anglo Jesus was replaced with this?

My bet is Christianity would die even quicker.

LOL! The liberal squirming on this thread is hilarious. "Agency"? Islam is the most protected religious class in the world. It dominates about a third of the earth's land surface with a belt of theocracies and is the one major religion the Western PC left panders to, even absurdly having Islamist nutjobs like Linda Sarsour co-chair the so called "Women's March", and celebrating the radical anti-Semite Ilhan Omar's election to Congress. Western liberals spend time apologizing to Muslims after Islamist terrorist attacks murder massive numbers of non-Muslims.

The rest of your post is just as stupid. You claim Muslims have a "good idea what their prophet looked like"? That'd be a neat trick considering his image is strictly forbidden under penalty of death, even to the point where South Park's episode showing Mohammed was canceled by "Comedy" Central ("agency", lol?).

Unless, of course, you're saying all Muslim guys look the same. More irony from the ignorant, faceplant prone ultravioletx.

I won't bother clicking on the ignorant "white Jesus" bashing the left runs with from time to time that bigoted BLM drooling idiots are trying to make trendy again. Christianity isn't about cosmetic appearance. That's the left's obsession. But the so called "white Jesus" actually looks roughly like the Shroud of Turin image. Before that his depictions were speculative and all over the place, but they seem to have coalesced around a consensus standard a couple of centuries after his ministry that happened to resemble that Shroud image.

That was people in the East and Mediterranean who did that, before most Northern Europeans were Christian or even literate. Jesus was born as a Jewish guy in the Middle East, technically "Caucasian" in some of the oldest, broader racial categorization systems. He certainly wasn't "black" like BLM idiots are currently claiming.

At least you're honest enough to admit this though:


There's simply no room in the atheistic left for doctrine religions.

Agreed, except for the religion of Marxism, of course. Religious people should take note before voting for leftist candidates or endorsing leftist power expansions.

reply

It's just a matter of knowing the definition for "holy".

Holy means pure, or without sin.

The Lord God Almighty is holy.

Follow Him.

reply

It's ironic because men like Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison are why people of all races, including blacks, are free today. You can't say the same about Mohammed. Yet the left wants to "cancel" the American founding fathers while pandering and submitting to followers of the latter. That's just more proof that Democrats are anti-freedom. Leftism enslaves entire populations.

reply

Isn't it pretty to think so?

reply

Why of course not (sarc). Ignorance is bliss to them when it comes to the Religion of Peace, particularly if people following it can be used as blunt instruments against regular Americans. Never mind that Muhammad slaughtered people in his hometown, married and had sex with underage girls, and had many other wives. Heck, he didn't even write his own visions from the desert, someone else did it years after he died!

It also doesn't seem to matter to the left when the Koran says "kill unbelievers if they don't submit," because they think it doesn't apply to them, only their own enemies. Gotta love the cognitive dissonance from the left.

reply

Not too many Mohammed statues in my neighborhood. Pretty sure that's a violation of Islamic law anyway, isn't it? Even if it were allowed under Islamic tradition, I still would oppose a religious symbol being displayed on public land at tax payer expense. Besides, Mohammed did far worse things than own slaves, didn't he, why focus on that exclusively? Oh, that's right, because you have an agenda.

reply

Where did I mention "statues"? In fact I explicitly mentioned tearing down mosques above, sort of like how they've been burning Christian churches like the iconic Saint John's in the recent riots. Leftist "canceling" takes the form of deplatforming, changing place/institution names, vandalism, assaults, murders, getting people fired, and/or rhetorically attacking the target in the education system and media. Even just the latter would represent a 180 shift from current liberal practice of pandering to Islam, but would be required to bring the left's current "all slave owners are irredeemably bad and must be condemned regardless of context or what else they did" crusade to something approaching logical coherence.

Otherwise the liberals denouncing Washington and Jefferson are just hypocritical shitbags.
