Actually, if you want to take the earth's perspective, then humanity as a whole is a disaster on earth.
Regarding religion, I see a lot of irony on the harsh comments. First of all, there is no question that the bad rep that Islam must suffer in this thread, comes from the extreme amounts of religious intolerance that is being put forth these days. Religion as a whole probably shares the same image with most of the resentful posters... Yet, what is the answer they bring forth? More intolerance!
Look youngsters, if you want a world that is free of the intolerance you see in religions, such as Islam, the solution is to SHOW tolerance... Otherwise it is just one big charade of holier than thou pots calling the kettle black...
Probably, you should also take some lessons in history and philosophy, and then KNOW, that 95% of the world you enjoy and take for granted today could not exist, if it had not been for religion.
Finally, we ALL operate with illogical, unproven and hypocritical belief systems. Our consciousness is simply not able to grasp the totality of this world in any cohesive way. So we cannot function without these beliefs systems, flawed as they may be. Some are openly religious. Others are not, but still owe almost all of their content to religion, even if those that preach them are blissfully ignorant about that fact. Be wary of those pure of heart and life, for they are so, as it lets them stand at the front of the line, when it is time to cast stones!
At least Jawwad has the courage to stand up for what he believes in, and be honest about it, and despite being taunted, still maintains a civil stance and tone. That is usually a lot more than can be expected from the majority that frequent these boards, religious or not!
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
