First explain what the terms mean, not everyone undrestands french.Comment

it wont hurt to do your own research
in simplest terms basically Kantianism goes by "the golden rule" ("treat others the way you would want to be treated") and Utilitarianism would focus on pleasing the majority.Comment

I would personally agree with Emanual Kant as I think this is compatible with Islamic principles. although I could be wrong. why the hell would i want to please the majority?Comment
-
lol oh, so you know the names
hahaha
well one could debate that pleasing the majority is clearly the better thing to do because... hmm well let me use the most typical example. If a 100 year old man needs brain surgery that would cost thousands of dollars a Utilitarian would say heck no, why waste other people's money if he is going to die soon anyways.
Thats sounds terrible :S, but it would save people from the hardship of getting the money.
but yeah, Kantianism is more compatible with religionComment

Isn't Kantian morality what humanists and most atheists follow? "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do unto you".
Intrestingly most religions preach the same philosophy.Comment

lol what would i teach you? :S
yeah, you teach us if you have an "other"
& would they?
lol well religion might be more compatible with kantianism but it isnt that way in every single aspect.Comment

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
