I don't like Islam.
On the whole i don't like any religion but that one really gets my goat.
This is mainly because of the hypocrisy I see in people who claim to be Muslim but pick and choose what tenets of the faith they will adhere to.
For instance I see girls going to my local college everyday wearing a simple hair covering veil, as a way of dressing modestly in accordance with Islam. However this is accompanied by some tight fitting jeans and a vest top. That is not islamic dress or modest dress.
It is the hypocrisy of islam that annoys me most. British born Muslims often talk about the way their 'brother' muslims are treated across the world. However many fail to realise that the islam they practice in Britain has no relation whatsoever to the way the Faith is practised in places like iraq, afghanistan, iran, Somalia.
Islam is a faith that requires no priesthood, and is a personal connection with God. It has many interpretations and sects throughout the world and that in essence completely negates this notion of an 'umma' or that all Mulsims are brothers.
No it is all humanity that are in fact brothers.
The Ayatollohs are another point in islam that in my opinion is actually a blasphemy agaisnt the faith. The fatwas that are issued by these Ayatollahs are blasphemous. By saying that God demands that Muslims kill Salman Rushdie or join jihad is in fact sacriledge. How can a mere mortal presume to know the desire or thoughts of Almighty God. How dare they assume that they would know what allahs wishes are.
If you have read any of my other posts then you will hopefully understand that i am willing to open my mind to any religion or at least listen to what it has to say.
I don't like Islam. Does this make me islamaphobic?
I would say no.
I don't like getting fucked in the ass either, so does that mean i'm homophobic?

Nicely put.
Although, it is just a convenience that beliefs have a name, like Islam. Is it any more hypocratic than your own principles? For example, I am all for free-speech, but I think Bill O'Reilly should fuck off. I hate shitty sitcoms, yet I'll watch an episode of friends. Everyone is contradictory. Does that make you feel better?
