Why do people who hold this sentiment think that Islam is so monolithic rather than a religion with tons of internal and international disagreement on religious doctrine as well as an inherited cultural identity? It's almost like they want Islam to be the only thing in the history of this planet that doesn't change, so they can keep their moral compass calibrated to true north while spinning around and around with their personal, but "deeply held" beliefs, which, seam to stem from logic and reason and are informed and supported by their own religion - that were totally not indoctrinated in to them from their parents and geolocation of their birth- rather than reaction and fear.

Excuse me, how very dare you suggest that the perfect faith of Christ has changed since he wrote the King James 1611 Bible whilst on the Cross at Calvary.

"Why do people who hold this sentiment think that Islam is so monolithic rather than" Racism. The answer is racism.

"Silly liberal Islam isn't a race so I am not racist. It's also not a religion, it's a political ideology so we can ban it.  "This is an argument I have seen in earnest in quite a few places.

I always thought that Islam had very little internal disagreement (radical extremists aside, of course), due to a lessened focus on the worship of men and a dislike of translations or rewording the Koran.

Well, even when only looking at big and really important things, we get at least Shia, Sunni and Sufi muslims.

This is overwhelmingly the way Islam is portrayed in the west, but Islam actually has an amazingly fractious history both on sectarian and doctrinal levels. Everyone uses the same Koran, true, and the text is the same as it's always been, but as a proportion of the religious texts of Islam, the Koran itself makes up only a tiny piece of the picture, even if it's the most important part. The remainder is mostly filled in with Hadith, which are the accounts of the sayings, teachings, and works of the Prophet, and those are almost hilariously contentious among scholars and laypersons alike. The infallibility of the Koran doesn't really help that it's missing a lot of the necessary doctrine to form the kind of comprehensive faith that Islam is charged with being, so it was left to people to fill in the gaps. Even immediately following the death of the Prophet, the fact that he hadn't given specific instructions regarding the ascendancy of leadership of the faith caused the Sunni-Shia split, and they and their respective subgroupings have had fifteen hundred years to develop their own opinions and traditions about the strength and relevance of different Hadith as well as incorporate pre-Islamic traditions into their religious practice. (FGM is a good example, that's straight-up a North African regional thing that both Christian and Muslim Egyptians practice in roughly equal measure, yet Monolithic Global Islam constantly gets tarred with that brush.) Muslim friends have shared with me the adage "Ask one question of two Muslims; get three answers", which sums it up in my experience.

The military situation in the Middle East would like a word with you. The Sunni/Shia split is the big one, of course, and while theologically it's not as big a split as the Great Schism or the Reformation it is still a pretty major divide in the faith. Where people coming from a Christian perspective get confused is that there is no Mother Church in the same sense of Catholicism and very little ecumenical discussion - the situation is much closer to the Jewish Rabinnical system, with individual scholars all putting in their own interpretation meaning that mosques on the same street and of the same sect may still have widely different opinions on all sorts of issues. However the overarcing belief that "God knows what's in your heart, so don't try to fool him" means that an awful lot of the rules-lawyering that goes on in Judaism and Christianity doesn't exist, making the divisions and disagreements within Islam much less visible to the outsider.

borkencode posted:e: got another one How does someone care enough about guns to get fancy full-color printed checks, while not knowing the case doesn't get to hit the target? Bullets don't look like that when they exit. Is this what happens when you have a blank loaded properly, behind a regular bullet awkwardly stuffed into the front of the barrel, so only the rearmost striking pin gets engaged, sending your regular bullet out unspent? Is that a fetish or something?

They don't have to be radical extremists, if you talk about Shia in a Sunni country the chance is quite good that you'll get some rather angry responses.

So despite paying for just about everything else in my life electronically I still have to have a checkbook at the ready, and from what I hear this is pretty across the board for people in mental healthcare. I am insinuating that people who buy checkbooks with guns on them need therapy

Bullets don't look like that when they exit. What strikes me as odd is the curious silence of all the posters who insist that one must know everything about guns if one supports even the smallest measure of gun control. They want to regulate guns? Better know everything there is to know about them! Irrationally cling to guns as a way of life? Meh.
