Woman explains Jordan's response.
February 4, 2015 at 8:43 am
Ok,
So I am watching MSNBC and a Arab woman was guest explaining Jordan's reaction. Holy fuck it seems it was not the torture that bothers them, but the superstition of ending up in hell if you are cremated? How does that work if you are not consenting to being burned alive?
FUCK THAT, who gives a shit about a fucking book. The pain of being burned alive is what matters.
This is what is so fucked up about all religions, sell humans a hero, and they lose their grip on reality.
I am sick of the big three claiming morality, when all they are are ancient superstitions.

Seriously?? That is just mental.
I read this morning that people in Jordan are demanding that ISIS people get their arms cut off, get nailed to the cross and so on.
To me, this is the same as the extreme shit ISIS is doing, and I do not see how they can think they are better, asking and possibly cheering for this sort of thing to happen.
Asking for a being being to be tortured, is in my eyes never righteous. However, The people supporting and fighting for ISIS are beasts and definitely should be stopped.
It is making me sick. I am a bit scared to google more about this pilot, because I absolutely do not want to accidentally run into the video of it happening.

I get being pissed off at the torture. Shit I was pissed at Bush finding out we tortured people in Iraq. I get that part. But really? That is what religion does, it allows you to justify all sorts of horrors.

It's so horrific that it's even gotten groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian government to agree on something.
Quote:AMMAN, Jordan — There was one feeling that many of the Middle East’s fractious clerics, competing ethnic groups and warring sects could agree on Wednesday: a shared sense of revulsion at the Islamic State’s latest excess, its video showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive inside a cage.

Um...no fucking way. I've seen enough real death videos in my life, and I'm sure that one is the stuff of nightmares.

This might be a stupid question but why don't the countries in the Middle East band together to fight against ISIS? Aren't they afraid that ISIS will one day try to take over their countries also?
