Lets play a little game. It only works if your honest with yourself and choose to engage. It might end up teaching us all something.
I'm going to post quotes from key literature that has been instrumental and pivotal in the development of our species. If you agree with the quote, like the post. If you don't, either refrain from liking or quote it and state why you don't agree with it.

Quote 1:
"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride legitimately, by the grace of God."

Quote 2:
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."

"Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”

Quote 5:
"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?”

Let's agree to disagree.
Personally I find some of these vague and difficult to understand the way they're written and out of context.

"stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor"

Context always matters.
Not killing is not universal.
Not lying is not universal.
Nothing is black and white.
My hopes for this social experiment are dashed.
state that as your reason for disagreeing then, when and where applicable.
Sorry, I'm not converting to Islam, and I highly doubt any of my peers here on this website is stupid enough to convert either.

#1: I don't understand it. But it says by the grace of God, so probably no.
#3: it is vague and too broad, can't be addressed.
#4: obvious civility mixed with religious bs, so nope.
#5: it is a question. How do you agree or disagree with a non statement?
#6: seems silly.
#7: I am going to do absolutely nothing for allah.
#8: very obvious idiocy.

Wait, you think the mods read P+R threads?
I don't know how the others do it, but personally I just roll a d20 for who I suspend and a d8 for how long

I'm the only one who has participated in your request so far.
I need no instructions because you are getting what I give.

Your sympathy is admirable but I fail to see why it would be shut down. It offends you?
