Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

[Tearjerker]

Violence is stupid, but this doesn't mean that all religions are stupid also. There are a lot of things that can be said about people from different religions and nationalities. The fact still remains that no matter what the nationality, or religion, or the skin color of a terrorist is, it is not those things, but rather it is the person who commits the crime.

After a long absence due to new-year holidays and getting sick afterwards I'd like to insert myself to the discussion by pointing out to a non-believer the idea of religion and religiousness is pretty much stupid. And to counter what you said I'll quote one of my all time favorite movies: "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

You see Muslims wouldn't do good things in the sake of goodness and what is right, they do it -- if they do it -- because their religion told'em to. And there are times that the good is the obvious thing to do, which sometimes you should just ignore the idiocy and ignorance of others, quite unlike what happened in Afghanistan. Muslims don't let go, it's not the first time someone has had set a religious book on fire, but the moment that book becomes the so-called holly Qur'an, Muslims go mad like someone put their tails on fire. Afghans were living under tyranny of Taliban for many years and not even once they stud up for themselves to oppose the tyranny of government, to protect their civil rights and freedom, but surely some pieces of paper are more important than human life, so my life for Qur'an, and your life for Qur'an, and heck everyone's lives for Qur'an. I remember Merilyn Manson did similar things with the Bible but don't remember anyone got killed in the process.

All in all at the things currently going on in middle-east and the way things are headed generally I'm so expecting another crusade. There are documentaries currently on our TV saying stuff about uniting the Muslim world and retaking the Jerusalem and stuff.
