Media Bias for Islam
March 17, 2014 at 8:23 pm


"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

When 9/11 first happened the news media was against Islam entirely and like questioning the religion and laying hints towards it being violent. Now that people are more into freedom of speech the news media now makes it seem racist to say anything negative against Islam. The news media just kisses asses and sucks corn-holes. What can you expect. I clearly recall years ago when CBS news made it look as if Islam was a new military front now they speak of dislike towards Islam as a "violent against human rights" as Al Sharpton likes to put it,

Yes I am a Muslim. You can tell by my dislike towards Islam and Muhammad that I am a true blooded Muslim.

Excuse my sarcasm but no I am not a Muslim Tongue. I am actually a Muslim's worst nightmare

I do not think God picked Muhammad, I think he acted on his own accord thinking he knew what God wanted from people. He got power hungry and felt that if he did not justify his actions he would loose support so he said all of his actions were in accordance to god.

I am not a Muslim, I just told you that I was not. Is English your first language? I am guessing it could be 3rd right about now

Nothing is so threatening to any religion than an ex-member.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

Something weird about what you said. The vast majority of Muslims I encounter claim that I could never be a Muslim if I left the religion. They will strong profess that anybody who is a true Muslim loves Islam because it is a religion of peace and the truth. The irony though is that the very same people who say this will say otherwise amongst other Muslims. Such a two faced group if you ask me.
Also I am even worse than an apostate. I am a Wathani(pre-Islamic pagan) who professes that not only is Islam not even peaceful but it is a pagan reformation. I honestly believe that the theology that came before Islam is far better. Islam is to Arab paganism what Windows Vista is to XP
