Except the flavor of Islam driving the terror we see from jihadists is worse than fundamentalists ideals. This is wahabbism, the result of extreme destabilization.

Fundamentalism - "A form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture."

Under that definition, I'd be a fundamentalist. Am I a danger to society just like Muslim terrorists? I'm also a libertarian, meaning I don't want to force Christian morality on a nation's laws. Voluntarily desiring to keep the commandments of God is precisely what God wants.

I mean, anyone who applies this deserves to be called a terrorist:
"If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt, and none of the condemned things are to be found in your hands. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger, will show you mercy, and will have compassion on you. He will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors— because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes."

Literal interpretation of the bible doesn't mean that everything in the old covenant/historic portions of the bible are applicable laws for us to follow. The new covenant version of that command would be 1 Corinthians 5:11-13:

"But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler - not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves."

we have now agreed that you are not a fundamentalist, and fundamentalist christians are terrorists

however, even IF, which they aren't, even if all uighurs were fundamentalists, they do not deserve this treatment

Wtf guyz seems like none of you actually knows what Islam is.
To start eith, the question on wether muslims and non muslims can co-exist, I find this a stupid and ignorant question, Muhammad PBUH had Jewish and Christian neighbors. In Islam we have to respect Jews and Christians no natter what and if they live in our countries we must respect them and treat them with good.(I can give you verses if you would like). Secondly, in Islam we can only fight those who attack us, we have a verse saying (Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors). Then regarding Jizya, Jizya is just like today's Taxes, it is payed to the country by Non-Muslims, while Muslims on the other hand pay something called Zakat. You may ask me why they are different and the answer is simple, Zakat is a religious obligation and if we force it on non muslims we would be forcing our religion which is Haram(forbidden ), so Non Muslims pay Jizya as taxes for the country. As for the first question if we can live with other religions YES we can, I live in Jerusalem and I have been raised in a Christian school, have Christian friends and I am a conservative muslim. When Omar controlled Jerusalem in the first time, he gave a promise (a written one) that we will protect the Christians in Jerusalem and other places and allow them to practice their religions freely but if you want to compare, when crusaders came to Jerusalem they used to kill non muslims and force them out of the city.. Another example would be Andalusia (Muslim Spain) where Muslims, Jews and Christians live peacefully... And your questions are very ignorant that I can't even understand if it is serious, There are TWO BILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD, if our religion is telling us to kill or harm others then the whole earth would be dead, do you understand how much is 2 billions?

the bible has verses way worse than the quran, yet there are 2.4 billion of them...
the quran has undeniably terrorist, homophobic and sexist quotes, but it is your choice to apply them or not. i believe muslims who choose wisely what to believe have a good sense of morality and are kind from my experience. the thing pushed forward is that all religious fundamentalism is bad. i am not calling all muslims terrorists, i am only calling extremists terrorists and unfit for society

@Loxiiv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fundamentalism Clearly you don't know what Christian fundamentalism is then. Those commands were specifically for the Israelites at that time, the biblical text is clear about that. The principle still applies in the verses from 1 Cor. I quoted. If you think fundamentalists take the quote from Deuteronomy and apply it to today, then there'd be no Christian fundamentalists.

@TheNoob
Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2700 - "Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Do not precede the Jews and the Christians with the Salam. And if one of you meets them in the path, then force them to its narrow portion.""
Sahih Muslim 1767 a - "It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim." - Look at all this respect.
Qur'an 9:29 - "Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." - Notice it doesn't say those who fight you.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4557 - "Narrated Abu Huraira: The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam."
Qur'an 5:51 - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."

If you know Islam so well, call Christian Prince the next time he's live on Youtube. His main channel is The Arabian Prophet and his Skype is DebateTV.

i present to you terrorism made by the bible:
"If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly.

He will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors— because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes."
the bible being homophobic and sexist is a well known fact so i don't feel the need to justify it

Western values not only regarding homosexuality but also regarding feminism are indeed not compatible with Christianity (if it's Christianity according to the book). However, your Bible verses make very little sense in that context, Christians aren't Jews. I find it pretty dumb from you to keep quoting those verses and thus claiming that this should be Christianity if you take it literally. If you are from France, aren't you supposed to have a tiny bit of religious education? You even quote "He will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors" This obviously refers to Abraham, Isaac and Jakob. However, those guys aren't my ancestors, I'm from Europe. God never promised anything like that to any of my ancestors.

I Dont Give A Shit About My Ancestors They Didnt Shape my Morality Nor they are alive now
After All tradition is just peer Presure from The Dead But i can see why you want to uphold it just that i dont want to

I Also dont think we should apply a Arabic mans written word from 6th-century word for word in 21st century
(idk what race Jesus is my bad)(i also dont know the prophet of the jews)

if we do we will go back to the 6th century as a society but Live in the 21st century in reality
Do you think that will end well For People in that society?

i don't see how that means the bible doesn't promote homophobia and sexism.
sure most Christians ignore these bits, and i respect them. also in france religious education is illegal in public school as per the constitution, so do your research better if you want to act superior. so anyway, most christians ignore these bits, i am happy they do, and i respect them. however, you can't take away that the bible says it now can you?

Men and women have different roles, that's not sexism.
Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Homosexuality is a sin, just like any other kind of sexual immorality. The vast majority of humanity commits sexual immorality in one way or another according to Jesus' standard, yet homosexuality is focused on for some reason, by Christians and non-Christians alike.
Matthew 5:28 - "but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

It's interesting that this thread is about Muslims yet this is the kind of stuff we're talking about. Jumping around from topic to topic engaging in completely useless debate, since you obviously won't change your mind in spite of the fact you don't understand Christianity at all.
