Right wing Exrtremist politics is actually being slowly but surely copid by the current government mainly CDU/CSU not so much SPD. They are not as extreme yet but are very straightforwardly going there. They protection of the constitution officials might observe the AFD but that basically leads nowhere, they have already been classified as securely right wing Extremist but still are very easily walking into a future coalition. On the State and communal level (Land und Kommunen) they do vote together and consult together all the time, at least in the communal level it is very basic day to day working together at the State level I am not sure. There are so many current leading politicians from the CDU/CSU that want to break that taboo and start to work together with the AFD. CDU/CSU is also very close to newsportals like Axel Springer and NIUS, both have very openly shown that the dont dislike the AFD, CDU/CSU politicians are the ones who blocked an AFD prohibition process. Just count 1+1 together to see where things are going. The AFD is currently the strongest party in Germany accodring to the polls and it doesnt seem like scandals and dehumanizing policies are making them any less attractive, to the contrary, the more radical they behave the more they get approval from the people. It's basically a big shame, that they are the strongest party at the moment, with politicians like Mathias Helferich who says he is the sympathetic face of NationalSocialism or Björn Höcke who has a book which reads similar to Mein Kampf and promotes the exclusion of disabled people for example (excluding Disabled people was one of the worst hate based crimes of the Nazis). I dont see that hope that you are having towards an improvement in the politics of Germany I see the contrary a steady decline in rhetoric manners and radicalization and the sole focus on Migrant crime supported by the very successfull Xenophobia of Trump and his supporters. Framing Migrants day by day as criminals while at the same time supporting the worst atrocities in the Middle East, bombing innocent little Children who have to see their parents burn or be buried alive, or vice versa and then silencing anybody who dares to talk about is a sign of total hypocrisy. At least in the USA (who do all that awful stuff) the society is not as blinded like the German society and they have constant, daily debates about the atrocities their government commits in the Middle East, while in Germany it seems like the majority even approves of that if I look at many comments in different forums and watching different talkshow on Politics on TV.

I am happy to see your posts and see how there are Israelis opposing this fanatism, but the interview I watched of Israelis talking about PAlestinians, in the majority is not that smooth like these posts here. Israelis have a very radical view o Palestinians and see them basically as Cockroaches, otherwise they would not vote a racist like Netanyahu into Office for more than 30 years or somebody like Ariel Sharon who was a desaster and a criminal, or somebody like Bengvir or Smotrich. These posts dont convince me. I am sorry. the husband of my cousin is Israeli, he lives in Germany with here and he staunchly believes Palestinians all belong to Hamas and are therefore a reasonable target to be exterminated.

Also you point is true but only to some point. Right Wing Extremism is not persecuted in Germany, as you describe. How can a securely right wing extremist party like AFD be the strongest party in Germany, if Right Wing Extremism is persecuted here? Maybe some individuals in order to bring some huge news, but their sponsor, their party is the strongest party in Germany currently at least in the polls but second in the last elections. Right Wing Extremism is actually flourishing here. The advent of Isis in Iraq is a direct consequence of the terrible Iraq War that cost nearly 1 million or people their lives, lets not forget the torture that Iraqi Prsisoners had to endure by Americans, who even made photos of that humiliation if you remember? Of course if you slaughter my family I will radicalize and when the people are religious they will seek refuge in their religion and as such ISIS had its advent, they were brutal but still a direct consequence of the Iraq war. Syrians had to endure the opression of their own government whose main supporter was Russia, without Russia Assad would had fallen much earlier. Who supported Russia financially with big business and gas deals (Nordstream 1 and 2), who was the main buyer of Russian Oil and Gas and funded the Russian War Machinery? Exactly it was Germany and Europeans, but especially Germany. German is fourth biggest weapon exporter in the World sending Weapons to so many dubious places. With no shame and no remorse, because Human rights are only valid for Europeans and Americans If you want restriction on migration the main way would be not to inflate yourself as a big rich country, who makes his money throguh dubious and criminal business deals with Murderers and Terrorist like Putin and Netanyahu or Xi. Analyze exactly where the wealth here stems from? The cheap clothes that are produced by slave labour in Bangladesh, the cheap meat that is produced by tortured animals in Massconcentration Camps and the cheap gas and oil that came from Russia with cheap components coming from Dictator China, who currently holds 1 million Mulsim Uyghurs in Concentrarion Camps where they are tortured, but Germany has only economic interests with China not human rights interests.. And there are many other dubious ways that Germans are so wealthy, cheap slave work in WestAfrica and Congo for Chocolate and Litihium, and the list goes on. It's obvious that if countries that only seek wealth and more wealth through all means possible, that they attract people from poor countries that they themselves put misery on. If you are poor you will go to a rich country. Exactly as the sun pulls the earth into its orbit and the earth pulls the moon, and how electricity goes from plus to minus (or vice versa), that is the law of attraction. But just so you know, Germans contribute to the highest number of refugees historically, they are literally everywhere, especially in the USA, Canada South Brazil, Argentinia, Costa Rica, Ecuador.... And those refugees mostly went there and killed the indigenous population and until today many of those communities like in Brazil speak German and maintained their german Traditions. So you see being refugee is German History too, and none of those refugees ever migrated back to Germany, other than the GermanRussians of whom some live in Germany today. And lets not even mention the crimes and misery that european Colonialism put upon the world and the slave trade of African people and the english, italian, irish and spanish migrants and refugees, they were mostly brutal and criminal and exterminated the indigenous populations in South and North America. The only permanent solution to migration will be World Peace and not supporting Crimes of foreign Governments through weapon exports, business and energy deals and taking a blind eye to slave labour.

The governments of our societies are democratically elected by the people and are mostly hypocritical. Human rights only apply to Europeans and Americans. Our countries (the European ones and the USA) whole heartedly support the slaughter of innocent Children in Palestine and Syria (by making enormous gas deals and big businees trades with Russia when they massacred innocent Syrians) but when the war comes to their own doorstep like in Ucraine, then suddenly there are 20 sanction packets against Russia and the talks of human rights. Our societies that elect these governments are totally Hypocritical, what value does it have to die for such a country that itself supports crimes against humanity in distant places and makes huge profits out of it not only by exporting weapons but by mutual business deals while their businesspartner is a lunatic criminal like Putin or Netanyahu? The misery of Syria and Palestine is mainly due to European Business interest and the enormous hypocritical attitude of Europeans and Americans. It makes no sense to die for values like human rights if your own society doesnt acknowledge human rights (inofficially) in the Middle East or elsewhere like China.

@Ima Freeman There are obvious Nazis and Racists, I know that because I confronted Racism 1000 times already and when you call them Nazi they sue you. Of course there is crime, but you exaggerate it onto only a Migrant problem. The fact that they come out of War Zones that many times are created directly through Germany and European Countries is a huge factor of violence, like the Lebanese big family Clans, they come straight out of the misery that was created by Germany and in Germany they were refused to be able to work and integrate. You disregard many terror events that occured by non migrants. Like the terrible NSU attacks, the attacks in Hanau, the attacks in Halle, the Gutenberg GYmnasium in Erfurt Terror Attack, the Cologne underground Attacks, the burning of asylum homes, then daily crimes against migrants in Eastern Germany. You dont mention that the real big criminal clans like Hells Angels and so on were initially created by Germans and still very high leading members are Germans. Its a distortion to associate mirgants with crime, of course there is crime, but the crime that Germany does unto many countries in the Middle East, is disproportionately higher, they support genocides and weapon Exports to Saudi Arabia, Germany aided in delivering key technologial components for Iraq to develop chemical weapons that they used upon the Kurds and in the Iraq-Iran war. Germany literally supports the slaughter of innocent Children in Gaza, Lebanon and in the West Bank, that is like the worst atrocity that you can go through in a lifetime. In Germany criminal migrants is a daily topic, so many politicians talk about it like eating breakfast, its their daily cup of tea, especially Friedrich Merz, but when you want to talk about the complicity of Germany in the Gaza Genocide, or in Settler Terrorism in the West Bank or the indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon, or Germanys financial support for Russia, while Russia was exterminating Syrian Existences you get silenced very harshly and called an Antisemite directly

I definitely dont identify as a German. Its not possible to identify yourself as someone whose people actually reject you (not everybody of course, there are many nice people here, but the majority of them doesnt see me as German either). I have more Iranian traits, but at the end the intention is to get rid off everything that bears some kind of identification, as this temporary body my soul is inhabiting is just mortal and can vanish tomorrow and what lasts is the eternal formless soul which can take up any other identity.

Well considering that Germans contribute to one of the largest numbers of refugees historically, and to two world Wars 4 Genocides only in the last century and countless Colonial Crimes, obviously they have to give something good back to the World and that is accepting refugees, to do some good in the world instead of countless crimes over many centuries to foreigners because they are racially "inferior". Of course there can be a debate about it wheter it has to be spreaded around Europe and other debates, but how these debates are led in the public are just shameful, considering that all Arabs and all Muslims are packed into one drawer (Sündenbock "Scapegoat" Phenomena), Friedrich Merz being the leader of this type of racism. And of course most Ucranians are Women, women tend to commit less crimes, mostly none and Chinese are not even refugees, they are students of business people. So when you support wars in the region where the refugees come from, like Syria, when Germany made massive gas deals with Russia, meanwhile Russia destroyed and bombed Syria like a lunatic, with the german money they received, its obvious that in such a warzone, crime is higher than in China. But when the war gets to Germanys doorstep, suddenly we see 20 sanction packets against Russia (What a hipocrisy) Merz is not conersavite, he is a racist and a criminal genocide supporter, he probably earns a hell lot of money through weapon exports having worked for Black Rock previously. German Politicians are doing again the same fucked up shit they did with Syria, and what their ancestors did in the previous centuries, they support the genocide in Gaza and the terrible war in Lebanon, and the Terror in the WestBank with massive weapon export and sanction blockades, instead of pursueing seriously all the options for a two state-solution and adhering firmly to human rights. Its okay to support the destruction of a people and their families, but when you call a German "Nazi" for his racist behaviour you get sued for that. The refugees are not damaging Germany, but Germany is responsible directly for the misery of the refugees history

It depens on where your own country. I am a German Born Iranian, and was never accepted as a German ever. Adding to the atrocities that Germany is supporting in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank I would not even think a second about defending Germany when it comes to war. If I was in Iran now I also wouldnt defend the Regime of the Ayatollahs, who are criminals. I would do the smartest thing possible and flee like 100s of millions of people have done historically already. It makes no sense to fight for a peace of land

The shameless and ruthless support of Germany during the Genocide in Gaza and still ongoing support is definitely not because of the Holocaust. 1. Germany killed 15 Million Russians in what is today Russia through barbaric means of starvation and other methods, so how is Germany on the forefront against sanctioning Russia and always the loudest part? 2. Germany is not helping Israel because of their crimes in the Holocaust, they help Israel unconditionally because they have already found the new "Sündenbock" (scapegoat) who are the Muslims, the hatred against Muslims in Germany and the rise of the fascist party AFD together with the support in the Gaza Genocide are clear signs that Germans is trying to get rid of the guilt of their barbaric ancestors, their terrible grand and great grandfather who very psychologically sick people, they use the current trend of hating muslims to put that guilt upon the PAlestinians, declare them all as Terrorists and Antisemites that are worthy of being "defended against" (destroyed). 3. The current Chancellor has shown himself already as a staunch Muslim or Arab hater, the AFD containing several hardcore Nazi personalities and its approval with 27% currently says everything.

It cant ever be ad nauseum until it is resolved forever and the people there dont have to live in constant terror of being burnt or buried alive by Israeli missiles. Imagine you in your life would turn into an apocalyptic life of being threatened for the next 80 years of living as a cockroach, being dehumanized and fearing that you will lose all your limbs the next day because of constant missile targeting you and your family, because you are part of what Israel thinks to be the people of Amalec who according to the Old Testament are worthy of being slaughtered alltogether with children, women and even animals. You would never say ad nauseum again, because you'd feel real life terror on your own skin day after day. And the fact that Tucker Carlson who is a right-wing is so eager on it can have tremendous influence on the majority stupid people of the right wing, so he is an incredible asset for this tragedy that has been ongoing for 80 years. He is an a form of personal transformation, its very obvious that he is transforming his character and becoming a foundation of peace and equality, allthough he still has his stupid views on whites being opressed and replaced. But transformation istn a process that has to be completed within a day. It takes time to get rid off your long-time accumulated beliefs which make up your character. The fact that he as a former rhetoric crusader and someone who hated Muslims, now defends them and wants them to be equal is amazing. The fact that he is a staunch Christian can influence tremendously the majority stupid Christians that believe in the Amargeddon and a new mordern era Crusade that has started with the elimination of the Palestinians. Everybody deserves a second chance, including all Criminals that currently sit in prisons, once they truly show that they are in a process of Transformation and become the voice of peace

But still without him, there wouldnt be any constructive covering of the Palestinian disaster/Tragedy. The total apocalypse of the people there would be in a form of forever forgetting and silencing people who dare to talk about it. He is a strong voice for this case and without him it would be a great loss. I acutally believe he is starting to turn towards reason and justice. Every person deserves to have a second Chance and he certainly is transforming his personality. We here in Germany get regularly silenced and offended as Antisemitists when we start talking about Gaza. Its literally a dead topic and has absolutely no value in the news. It is slowly starting to get into peoples heads as something horrific and atrocious but the people and politicians just keep talking about migrants and deporting them and not a single word about the Genocide, allthough Germany made it possible to happen through weapon exports and sacntion blockades in the EU Parliament. So I prefer someone like Tucker Carlson inifinite times more than the majority of German Population and Politicans

Well thats not true. Historians have already confirmed Jesus Existence through a historic scientific point because there are at least three bible-independent sources of Jesus in distant places, one of them is in Syria and one of them in Turkey, the other one I forgot. That is through a historic scientifical point a confirmation of such happenings. Also you can confirm through the expression or the phrase itself, if it touches your heart and if it carries light and Love in it. If you feel that it indeed carries Love in in, which is the case in those quotes, it could have only come from someone enlightened, especially in times of barbarity like it was back then with slavery and crufifications and general superstition and constant warfare between the people, but also in the darkness period of our days today.

Nobody talks about Jews as a people to be harmed except you and those other hypocrites. You try to bring Religion into a game where you know that this conflict is not Religious at least not from the Palestinian Side (From the ISraeli Side with all the references to Amalec, the Old Testament and Judea and Samaria, yes it is religious) But seriously you are just a bigot, your hatred towards Muslims is so enormous that you can see 30.000 little Palestinian Children being slaughtered in a city the size of cologne and you have no tear on your eyes, you even support that. Whereever there is something about Muslims here in the forum, you are always on the forefront of that crusade to make sure, Muslims dont deserve to live.

Man why do you close your eyes to that Atrocities? The IDF soldiers were chanting we will exterminate Amalec and they document it, you can see it online everywhere. When Netanyahu sayd Amalec he means the total destruction of the people of PAlestine, because the Amalec reference refers to the total destruction of men, women and children and even Animals. You cannot cherrypick it to suit your conscience, its absolutely disgusting to use the reference of Amalec towards any people, because thereby you legitimize the murder of innocent Women and Children and even Animals, what the hell did the animals do? I dont watch only Youtube I watch international News too, and we in contrast to you ISraelis can see the Atrocities. We know that Israeli Journalists dont cover the Genocide and dont show the misery and destruction they put upon the Palestinians, there are documentaries about Israeli Journalists purposely not covering it, so we here outside of ISrael see alot more than you on your Israeli Media. To the contrary, Israeli Journalists are even known to support the Genocide like Zvi Yehezkeli (Channel 13), Yinon Magal (Channel 14), Shimon Riklin (Channel 14), Itamar Fleishman (Channel 14). Your media ist actually evil, you shouldnt trust them at all, if you have any kind of heart toward innocent Children. You should be supporting peace and a two-state solution because after all ISraelis immigrated into PAlestinian Lands and not the other way around. So without respecting the native population you will be in serious trouble forever

Lebanon and Iraq are democracies too. Being a Democracy means absolutely nothing, when you vote tyrannts into your parliament that boast about the destruction and finance the murder of innocent PAlestinian Children and Families. Dont close your eyes to these atrocities, be aware of them promote peace, instead of murder and violence, because where you live you can sip on your cocktail in your warm housing, while little Palestinian Children are suffering Hunger and Terror day by day, in Gaza and in the West Bank.

Its because your media and your televisions dont tell you about the terrorattacks against PAlestinians that have been ongoing in the Westbank since 1967 and you forget the brutal occupation of Gaza until 2005, why do you think people there radicalized and turned to Hamas? Do you think that all those children that had to watch their parents die next to them being burnt alive or being buried alive, that those children wont join Hamas? There is a serious Power Imbalance here, with Israel being a recognized State as a military nuclear superpower who nobody can do anything against and the Palestinians that dont even have a state and have to endure Violence by Illegal settlers that kill their families and destroy their houses. The only way is a government that cooperates with the PLO in order to establish a two-state solution and a long-term peace process, right now we only see ISraelis voting lunatics and religious fanatics into parliament that boast about having destroyed the idea of a PAlestinian State and they actually finance the Terrorist Settlers in the Westbank, they give them money to murder PAlestinians, and when a PAlestinian defends himself, hell get into prison. The atrocities and the absolute misery brought upon the civilian population in Gaza is not even mentioned here.

Your politicians use the Old Testament as justification for illegal settlements and the destruction and murder of innocent Palestinian Children, Women and Men. Maybe you just filter out these obvious facts that we in other countries can watch on YouTube day by day. Netanyahu and other Ministers called the Palestinians the ancient people of Amalec who are worthy of being destroyed altogether according to the Old Testament. They call Palestinian Lands in the West Bank, Judea and Samaria instead of calling it Palestine and why? Because of the Old Testament. Are you closing your eyes purposely? You have a democratic system. If those lunatic and religious Politicians are being voted into the government, the people have a huge responsibility for that because it was their vote.

You have a sick country with sick politicians being supported by the sick Western Government's who love to pretend that they invented Human rights (after having enslaved and destroyed half of the world). What do you expect ? The West still believes in its superiority, that's why they dehumanise Muslims and then support their destruction Muslims are the new Jews and you can do whatever you like to them. That's how Western and Israeli Superiority thinking is about.

You occupied Gaza until 2005 and did serious atrocities there. You Israelis are totally brainwashed by your fascist media and politicians that advocate the laws of the Old Testament and Compare Palestinians to the People of Amalec, worthy of being killed until the last drop of blood. You actually inhabit and occupy native Palestinian Land and are not ready to share the land with them. Your politicians literally boast aabout having thwarted a two state solution for various decades and pretend to be the good guys. The real Terrorists are the IDF and your Politicians. Have a heart ❤️ and don't support the genocide against the Palestinians. Your politicians and the people of Israel see Palestinians as their slaves or as cockroaches that inhabit the land that was promised to them 3000 years ago in the barbaric Old Testament. That the Old Testament aka the Thora advocates slavery and Genocide is makes the Ideology of your Politicans more understandable. Dont be like them Drop the Old Testament and it's ideologies and follow the religion of the heart ❤️ Love your Neighbour as Jesus Christ said and forgive your enemy. Be better than your ideologic Politicians that are leading Israel straight into another millenia of Hatred from and against Israel. Be more passionate and intelligent than bunch of blood thirsty, children killing soldiers. The Jews and Israel will probably be hated for another few centuries after what they have been doing with the native Palestinians, so be aware of the future of your Children, that you drag into with this kind of religious and racial superiority thinking towards the native Palestinians that inhabit that land for millenia and who used to be Jews more than 2000 years ago. They are descendants of Abraham exactly as you claim you are (even though that descendance is not even important of any kind, important is to live peacefully and actually vote for a government that supports a peace process with a two state solution and not some terrorist supporters like Smotrich and Bengvir and Netanyahu)

Well as I said, I dont follow any religion, I am Love incarnated and have alot to learn through life with life, I am Love but also just a Child and know nothing. But some things are certain. If there would have been no Jesus Christ, there wouldnt be the concept of forgiveness and compassion at all. Maybe the parents to their children and family oriented yes but arrogance and violence would keep permeating human lives for all times if nobody would have come to teach them. But forgivesness and compassion is something that had to be taught to humans and it was done by Jesus. That's a fact. There is a movie called Jungle Child in original German Dschungelkind, who talks about a family of Christian missionaries that lived 30 years in the jungle of Papua New Guinea to teach the native tribes there, who were involved in an eternal war and in serious bloodguilt with eachh other, the concept of Forgiveness, and it took them 30 years or so. That's basically all of human history before his advent. Bloodguilt, wars and so on. But Jesus word were heavily abused through Christian in Europe to invoke wars and burn humans alive, and how they are today, it keeps being something to rather keep distance of. The same with Islam, if you dont understand the message, if you start reading the Quran like a lunatic, everyday and dedicating your entire life on words that were uttered in a different time, in a time of utter violence and barbarity, and receive no inner einlightement or inner realization of it, then you get superstition. If you read it with an open mind and most importantly with a pure hear, you will receive an entirely different message, they style is very harsh and not soft or touchy at all. But it talks about truth, just read the 99 names of God in Islam, and tell me if as someone on the spiritual path you can disagree about those names, it wpuld be impossible, because those names are exactly those kinds of insights that we receive on psychedelic trips.

Disclaimer: I am not a Muslim nor a Christian, nor any Religion, I am Love incarnated People dont understand Islam nowadays because they take certains verses, that say for example kill the non-believers and say its evil. But back in Pre-Islamic Arabia Non-Believers were not Atheists but they were Idol Worshippers and the verses of killing them happened right in the middle of wars were the Muslims were attacked, persecuted and tortured by the Idol-Worshippers who feared their traditions and their financial interests (the traditional and profitable Sale of Idols in Mecca). If one carefully reads the surahs, one finds out in what barbaric times Muhammed lived, like Slavery being a common thing, sending feminine Slaves into prostitution and so on. So Islam was revealed to him in order to abolish these things like slavery (slowly) to abolish Idol-Worship or the Worship of Kings and Rulers like the Pharao, and especially the Pharaos are heavily criticized in Islam due to their arrogance in portraying themselves as God that have to be obeyed and worshipped. It teaches the human to fast (which was very hard in the dry and hot arabian desert) in order to gain spiritual insights and in order to understand what people without food have to go through. It taught the people not to accumulate wealth, as wealth has no value, but to donate it to the poor. It taught the people to do good deeds like helping orphans and the poor, freeing the slaves and so on. It was a time were God was a statue and that Statue could have been sold and given horrible sacrifices to and he established the Oneness of God in all of existence (not as hypocritical Christians think, that there is a muslim God and a Christian God). So the countless references of Hell are merely a way to frighten the Non-Believer (the Idol Worshippers) and to bring them to change their character and do good deeds with the fear of heel as a bad perspective for them. But if one reads the 99 Names of God in Islam, one will get seriously fascinated. I believe it was written by Angels because it always talks in the first Person Plural form "We" and it is said that it was revealed to Muhammed by Archangel Gabriel

So why do you have respect for machiavellian state of evil? Sounds like a profound paradox, respect is something good and positive, Israel could have been accepted as a state for a long time now. Its not that its a jewish state that they are being hated, to the contrary, the Muslims have deepp veneration for the Children of Israel how they are called in Islam, they are venerated as special people in the Quran. The fact, that Israel is being hated, is because they are seriously fucked up, they are immigrants and treat Palestinians, the native inhabitants of that land that have been there for thousands of years, like cockroaches, kill their families and steal their houses. The reason the current Iranian Regime has sworn to fight Israel, is due to two reasons 1. The Oppression and Displacement of Palestinians 2. Because they helped the infamous and terrible secret police SAVAK during the reighn of the Schah, they taught them how to successfully torture and persecute political prisoners and trained that The Savak Police who was responsible for great crimes. I am Iranian myself and hate this Regime, but I see one Mafiastate fighting another Mafiastate and who suffers are the innocent Civilians.

Man, those countries may have dirt and blood on their hands. But the greatest terrorist countries are the USA and ISRAEL. Dont fall into American Propaganda telling you that the USA is a peacebringer country, the USA and Israel are serious terrorists, not only sponsors. The amount of blood they have including of little Children is so nasty and enormous

Well there is no reference of 5 times prayer in the Quran. Prayer is something universal you have it with Hindus you have it with Buddhists, Jesus Christ told the people to pray. Prayer is a means for people to devote and put their their lives to the higher power, to the absolute God, (if you dont think God exists at all, and that everything is a coincidence, I woner how you made 13.000 posts on this forum). Prayer is can also be a good mean to kill your ego and is certainly a good way to be grateful for what you have instead of wanting more and more like a greedy ungrateful person, of whom we have plenty on the planet. The Quran says there is no duty to follow the religion. So nobody has to become obsessive about anything. You can be a Sufi and use Islam as a mystical form of reaching higher states of Consciousness, which is what Sufis are regularly doing, they receive visions of the prophet and its followers, his daughter Fatima. I heard Sufi stories already its as real as you can imagine. And they do unimaginable stuff to their bodies, like pushing a sword into ones head who is in an out of body experience. The basis for their mystical Experiences is Islam, not a psychedelic drink or something, but chanting praise to Allah in a very repeated manner while they dance alongside that I went to a holy Islamic Shrine in Iran once, and felt a deep sense of peace when I was extremely anguished, where did that sense of peace come from? If you follow Islam, like a lunatic, obsessive person who only lives his life to read through that entire book, of course you become nuts and think even breathing will get you to hell, but use commong sense, be well grounded in Wisdom and be a person of reason as Surah 3:/ quoted above says and understand the context of its appearance and its necessary hell references that were needed to bring order into a barbaric population.

There is no stoning punishment in the Quran, that's from the Old Testament (Thora). Yes I agree with you about the cutting hands off of the thieves, but the following verse says not to do so, if they repent. I understand that more as a harsh threat to big time Thieves that steal with no remorse, like nowadays you see corrupt Politicians and Big Companies stealing money with no shame. As already said, it was a violent and corrupt and barbaric time of evil surrounding the present all the time with constant tribal wars and superstition, so its a totally different era than ours is now, you cannot compare the surrounding conditions with those of now. The Quran has countless references to Compassion and Forgiveness being way higher values than Anger and Confrontation. Sufi Scholars are also scholars and they have visions of the higher spheres and the angels and so son, like the Santo Daime people use Ayahuasca and have visions in a Christian Setting, Sufis have inner realizations and visions and Out of Body Experiences through the Islamic Lense. Here you have Surah 3:6: It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding. It clearly states that some verses are very precise and are the core of the book (The verses about Justice, Compassion, Love God as Oneness of all of Existence, Helping the Poor and the Orphans, and freeing the Slaves) While other verses are elusive and those that search for trouble and have deviant hearts (warmongering people, hateful people, those that abuse the name of God to reach their power or to use their own interpretation) will abuse those verses for their sick heart ambitions. And those are the Extremists you are talking about. It clearly says that noone knows its true interpretation other than God alone
