Damned Muslims

You mean like the Taliban deliberately demolishing statues of Buddha?

I wouldn't use them as representative of Islam. Or at any rate representative of 99% of Muslims you can debate whether Islam is actually a religion of the sword or not. I'm undecided on that but as long as the bulk of Muslims don't think it is.

If 99% of Muslims were truly against the things that Min is pointing out they could never happen. Maybe 1% of Muslims assaulted the women protesting against sexual harassment, but the other 99% stood by and watched them. These things couldn't happen without institutional support.

Where the hell are these statistics coming from?

I was just replying to Zone, who was repeating that often deluded mantra of 'tolerance' that 99% of Muslims are peaceful, so it's not a problem with Islam. Bullshit! Those things couldn't happen without societal backing. A mob attacks a group of women peacefully protesting, and what does that 'peaceful' 99% do? Watch. Fuck Islam.

Yeah, I probably should have quoted his post but I was being lazy.

It's like saying we would never have violent crime if the bulk of society happened to be against that kind of thing. Most Muslims belong to the "nice and friendly" version of Islam. If you read books like this you will get a better idea of what they're about.

Here is an interesting statistic, 8/10 currently ongoing wars in the world involve Muslims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ong..._conflicts

The things Min is pointing out is totally different than violent crime in the US. I don't sit around with 100 other people watching people commit violent crime and doing nothing.

Most of society does not stand there cheering on muggers.

There are over a billion Muslims in the world so most wars being fought in the world will involve some Muslims being part of the action. Though obviously there is an ultra violent Jihadist faction knocking around the place at this point in history many of the wars having something to do with them. If you go back to the early 20th century most of the wars would have involved Christians seeing as back then you had Fascists and Communists kicking off all over the place. Communists would be technically atheists of course but that was enforced onto a Christian culture. Wars are almost always fought for reasons of Earthly worldly power which is what the Jihadist Muslims really want at the end of the day not so much the 72 virgins. Though if you want to rope a religion into your world domination agenda I suppose Islam and the Quran is a good choice as there is some warlike stuff in there if you want to find it and take it out of context. It doesn't mean that's what Muslims in general have in mind.

I don't think it's fair to say that the Muslim world is doing nothing about the violent extremists they're on the front line with most of the attacks being directed at them. We're not fighting against Islam as religion on the whole just one element of it and we're allied with the vast majority of other Muslims.

Apparently the muslims are offended again

This time by a toy that has fuck all to do with islam.

My reply to this fuckhead.......

Oh, you're offended by this are you? Well I'm offended by the attempted murder of a school girl, I'm offended by the hanging of a pregnant rape victim who couldn't produce four witnesses. I'm offended by FGM. I'm offended by the thousands of crappy things muslims every day in the name of your crappy religion. So I guess we're even now....
