The recent incident from a school in Muzaffarnagar highlights, once again, how many of India’s institutions, and its people, are failing the country’s Muslims.

    Most religions I am aware of do not give you permission to hate in the text. Hate is a sin in Abrahamism and depending on whom it is directed at can be incredibly serious if you believe.

        That’s not advocating hate. That’s a moronic religious law about not working on the sabbath which many do not follow.

          It’s literally “kill people who aren’t your religion”. How is that not hate?

          Edit: also, to revisit the point: it’s in the text

            It’s not though. It’s kill the people in your religion who don’t follow its laws.

            And again Christians and Muslims have their own justifications for why they are not obligated to follow the laws of Judaism.

              Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

              35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

              Nowhere does it say he was Christian, he was just an old man in the woods. If the religions no longer believe it, it should be removed. Otherwise it’s used for hate.

              Edit, spelling
