#2 "No other religion IN THE WORLD has such a glaring absense of introspection, self criticism, dialogue and debate."

Islam's not too hot in the "teaching right from wrong" department, either. As far as I've been able to tell, it provides absolutely NO ethical foundation other than "Muslim = good, non-Muslim = bad, NO MATTER WHAT."

And the answer to the question in the title is, "there aren't any."

#3 As far as I've been able to tell, it provides absolutely NO ethical foundation other than "Muslim = good, non-Muslim = bad, NO MATTER WHAT."

Yeah, that's all I can find, too.

At least Christianity recognizes the possibility of the "virtuous heathen" -- someone who doesn't follow the faith, but still lives a moral life. Granted, they still go to Hell, but suffer the least.

Islam is, frankly, not a religion in the sense of it being a way to explain the origins of the universe and the whys and wherefores of morality. It's an imperialistic program, intended to found an ever-expanding rule of bandit over-men. The morality bits within Islam are structured to maintain the allegiance to the empire -- on pain of death -- and the superior position of the over-men.

#4 The best term for Islam I've found so far is "cult." A totalitarian, hate-worshipping, death-worshipping, murder-worshipping cult. And like other totalitarian cults, once a person joins they can never leave.

Islam is nothing more than a Roach Motel for souls.
