The religion of peace...?

[lifesagift]

Well given the forum is about open debate, please explain my bigotry, and why it's in a diatribe... please..

Simple, you're judging 1.4 billion people by the image the media feeds you without having first hand experience. You haven't lived among them, I presume. Well, so haven't I, but I reserve judgment for the time I have an informed opinion.

Hey, thanks for judging me, and then in the same breath telling me you are equally unqualified !

And where do you get your info from? TV? (corrupt), Newspapers? (corrupt), politicians? (corrupt)... your own experience? non- existent according to you !

Maybe you should take a writing class from the local community center.

Are you for real? have you read my post and not questioned "angel"...?

That post wasn't a sensible structured debate, but a simple slight..

Why are you siding with it against a suggestion of a debate?

Well, it's simply some bigotted diatribe. It's obviously your opinion and that tells a lot about you. Thanks for sharing.

Muslims are not above criticism. Just like any other group be it xtians, jews, pedo-priests, republicunts or gun nuts. Must we really go through the whole John Cleese routine "aside from sanitation, public order, road construction, etc, what have the Romans ever done for us" to exempt muslims who are not murdering fuckwits so your sensibilities are not offended? Fuck that. They can put on their big boy pants and join the rest of the world.

I'm really sick of their bullshit and their fucking god.

Agreed, they aren't.

But if you generalise, you better have solid evidence for them all being the same. Which I haven't for muslims, christians, jews, republicants, gun nuts or atheists.

No I'm not, there's nowhere that I have stated that all 1.4 billion muslims are bad. My point is that we all label ourselves differently, but what is the true label once the chips are down?

You have friends that are muslim? if so, try burning a book in their kitchen, they'd be a bit unhappy... try burning the quraan in their kitchen and see how they react...

I'm not the guilty one for pointing out flaws... how many muslims are on the street protesting about US citizens being beheaded, or the alleged plot to kill the Queen of my country?


Please don't get all apologist over me, I'm bored with that... Lets try to measure the threat we face.

I'm not a Muslim, but if you burn a Quran, bible, dictionary, whatever in my kitchen we're going to have words. Matter of fact, I'd probably react just as harshly as you're implying a Muslim would. And furthermore, if you had a Muslim friend and you decided to burn a Quran in his kitchen just what kind of friend are you? I think it speaks volumes that you believe you should be able do something like that and everything should be fine.

Just how many Americans did you see protesting this last beheading? I got news for you, I just turned the channel. At this point we're pretty desensitized from everything going on in the war that most could care less what happened to someone they have never met. If you go to a warzone you have to understand that there's a pretty good chance if they make a movie about your untimely end it isn't going to be a romantic comedy.

That's bullshit.

As I said elsewhere, we don't have to go through the whole John Cleese routine in order to criticize their fucking religion any more than I have to issue a disclaimer to cover the handful of priests who didn't know what was going on right under their noses.

Grow a pair.

What the fuck does eczema have to do with anything?

Firstly thanks for a great friendly, positive post, and secondly, at least give it the respect to read it and put it on context, or respond in an appropriate manner if I'm missing the point..

Can I take this to mean you don't know what eczema is?

What's your point? we're gonna have words if I start a fire? or I'm in trouble for destroying an important book?

Think you missed the point.. say your muslim friend has an open fire in their kitchen and you throw a newspaper in, or a dictionary, they're unlikely to complain, but throw a book with a different name beginning with Q.... etc etc
