Ignorant Fucks

[hertsdelivery]

Hi I can promise I didn't come here to be offended, and incidentally I'm not offended. I was commenting on the way people were commenting, not on their opinions. I agree we are all human and yes even intelligent and rational people must become exasperated, frustrated and emotional occasionally. However, I was surprised that this article prompted that reaction. After all these were not teachings of Islam but moreso over-conservative socio-political views with Islam as an excuse. You don't need to do much research or know much about Islam to realise that. Secondly, to atheists this was surely more laughable than worrying? They were going to pray the guy to death?! Even to many Muslims that sounds rather silly.

They were conservative what now....oh yes muslims....so that would make there decisions made for religious reasons.....you can do this....that's right Islamic. Or are they "not true Muslims tm"

Praying to death is childish and ridiculous however its the sentiment and atmosphere in these backward countries hat this sort of thing engenders that is the worry.

And people who lose favour to Islamic Imams have a nasty habit of getting injured, not through prayer but by bullets and knives and bombs.

I can only say that Islam does not forbid women to work and by it's nature would encourage women to sell lengerie rather than men (although there is not specific law on this, that would be in 'the spirit of the law' as we say in this country). You can say that's not a good enough excuse for Islam if you like, but personally I think it is.

For the 'record' I do not believe all atheists are 10 year olds or irrational. I hope that's clear.

It is to me. For what it's worth and based on your replies to me I don't think it's too late to make a better account of yourself than you started with. Sure you may have blotted your copybook in some people's eyes, but we've all been there at some point (hi guys!) and we generally run out of steam before too much harm has been done.

Ask yourself this: is this the way you imagined the conversation to go before you signed up? Is this what you pictured yourself doing today?

I'm afraid I can't promise I would have changed my original post if I had my time again. I admit I come accross as arrogant when I don't intend to. Ii accept that maybe I need to go on a self-expression course or maybe even a simple writing course. So I can only apologise in advance if I ever come accross as patronising in the future!
