Reply to comment by Prestigious_Track_22 in LPT: To get better at something, teach it. by [deleted]

Any religion that can skew it’s teachings in a way to control and harm others has issues. Islam is unfortunately one of the largest in the world that has this issue. I’m not saying every Muslim agrees with this or uses their religion in that way. But the fact that the teachings can even be skewed in that direction is problematic. Christianity is right up there with it, worse even in my part of the world.

How does Islam skew its teachings. Muslims are pretty intolerant and don’t even change their views even when criticized. So they don’t change them to harm peopel

It’s all about how you interpret your religious texts. One person may interpret a text literally while one interprets it figuratively. If a verse says to not eat pork, some will take that literally and not eat pork. Others will use different verses to justify their eating of pork. Not every Muslim is intolerant. There are many who are though.
