What's my problem with... Islam? Pt 1

I discuss a few problems I have with Islam.

Part 2 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CWY_jMEWNc

For the record - seeing as it has been mentioned that this could be construed as "picking on Muslims", I would like to direct you also to my "What's My Problem With... Christianity" video on my channel. I wanted to deal with each religion separately rather than lump all faiths in with one another, even though a lot of the things I take issue with are not exclusive to each religion.

I'ts funny how women are being abused but all the comments are about animals.

[AtheistBrit]

@MoonlightPlaylist I'm not sure whether that means as a society we value animals too much, or women not enough... Personally, I feel that both animal and human suffering are abhorrent.

[zXxSinDitxXz]

They're animals, who cares.. They're going to die either way.

[AtheistBrit]

@zXxSinDitxXz That's a very sad attitude to take. It you're indifferent to an animal in pain, that says a lot about you. :(

@iBegToDiffer "kills the animal instantly".

You are talking out of your arse. Halal slaughter does NOT kill the animal instantly. I performed this ridiculous ritual many times when I was a muslim. The animals flop and writhe and scream and breathe for minutes.

What I want to know is are you deliberately lying because the average Brit will never see a halal slaughter and thus not be able to call your bullshit? Or are you just an fool who has never seen a halal slaughter?

[AtheistBrit]

@tintiringa I hate the Daily Mail. I hate it with a passion. I wouldn't wipe my arse with it.

I don't script my videos and as a result I often bring up subjects where I remember reading something and can't remember where I read it. I'm always happy to be proven wrong if evidence to the contrary comes up, and I would repeat verbatim anything I read/saw if I didn't think it was from a legitimate source. My videos aren't a scripted research paper.

@AtheistBrit I'd say both, the animals part in certain situations, I mean I'm a vegetarian but even than I know where to draw the line at realistic and extreme.

[AtheistBrit]

@chooechooe It's not opinion that animals are capable of suffering.

[chooechooe]

@AtheistBrit that is only your opinion.

ill give you my opinion. animals are not that important

[AtheistBrit]

@chooechooe "Tradition" is no argument for anything. If it was tradition in a country to bait bears (as it used to be in England and a number of other European countries) or to fight bulls (as is still the case in Spain and France) the fact that it's "tradition" doesn't make it any less cruel. What makes Islam (and Judaism with Kosher meat) different is that despite animal welfare laws they are still exempt because of this bullshit "tradition" argument.

[chooechooe]

are you really arguing about the way they kill animals? its a tradition and im pretty sure british people have inhumane traditions.
