This and the McCain "proud liberal" story should provide enough faux outrage to power the right wing blogodome for the next few weeks.

I will never have respect for a religion that kills women for not wearing a scarf or that denies people an education.

I will never have respect for a religion that says that a homosexuality is a crime, that meat is prohibited on sundays, and that you go to hell for seafood.

Quick, buy me a Taco Bell franchise, I'm going to make an epic poop sculpture of mohammed and watch several million people have simultaneous strokes.

I will never have respect for a religion.

Ahem.

eddyatwork: I will never have respect for a religion that kills women for not wearing a scarf or that denies people an education.

Well, you can be renditioned for reading the Bill of Rights in public. At least those women KNOW about their farked-up laws, and they don't keep harassing you about how screwed up your own law is, like a retarded pack of self-righteous assholes or something.

Perhaps the self-loathing should precede the ignorant bashing of others. Hmm?

Cool huh. It's called "brain".

It does other cool tricks too. There's one called "chess" that kicks serious ass.

Of course, there's those who'd say that the way women are denigrated in this country is equally despicable. But don't let differences of perspective get in your way.

and those shiathole theocracies will only get worse and never advance because they've cut off 50 percent of their brain pool from helping to advance their country.

that's why the enlighted western countries will lead the way.

So how was eddyatwork's post ignorant?

Based on the point you were trying to make, somehow, it just seems hilariously appropriate to point this out.

Ryan2065: Giblet: Perhaps the self-loathing should precede the ignorant bashing of others. Hmm?

So how was eddyatwork's post ignorant?

It clearly demonstrates both ignorance and intolerance.

He stated that he "can never respect" traditional religion-oriented behaviors of a foreign society of which he is apparently not a Gold-Card member.

That's an ignorant and intolerant thing to say.

It's like saying "Anyone that accepts communion is a farkin' cannibal". Except saying THAT would actually be funny as hell. He didn't mean to be funny. He meant to be intolerant and ignorant.

I can safely assume he's an American, so the remark is compounded by the irony of 'those in glass houses should avoid throwing stones at neighbor's rock-strewn cave'.

so...you are just fine with forcing circumcision on women, killing a woman if she doesn't wear a headscarf or decides to get an education...not to mention killing cartoonists for being...well, cartoonists. So you're ok with any/all of that?

I don't really see a problem with this. If your religion endorses killing another human for what clothes they wear then I will not respect it either.

I don't even know how to respond to the idiocy of the rest of your post...

It's fascinating, isn't it? the depth of stupidity combined with arrogance....it's amazing to see! Hard to believe that it's not a deliberate troll.

Since when is not being offended by a cartoon a "basic right and freedom to which all humans are entitled?"

Now, THAT may be a bit of a straw man (or maybe it's slippery slope - I can't ever remember).

What Giblet is actually trying to say is that he feels that Americans have absolutely no right to say anything about anyone else. We should, apparently, STFU regarding ALL of that stuff you mention. Of course, everyone else in the world is free to biatch about America, set schoolgirls on fire, cut girl-childrens' clitorises off, and kill people who don't agree with their particular sky-man.

All America is good for, from this viewpoint, is ponying up huge foreign aid checks without any strings attached whatsoever.

Right, Gibby?

eddyatwork: I will never have respect for a religion that kills women for not wearing a scarf or that denies people an education.

A religion can't kill people asshat. A religion is nothing but what people make out of it, and none of the Muslims I know have ever killed anyone.

Although there was that one over-preach B.C. comic that made me try to set fire to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's building. Stupid brick building wouldn't catch fire though.

not to mention killing cartoonists for being...well, cartoonists.

oh, yes, that's all there is to it, right? death penalty for drawing human figures, huh? nothing else to it? you're telling us that Muslims act totally irrationally?

you're half right but the omission needed to be called out

Yeah... Fail.

I might not like the unfair media coverage of women politicians, or the emphasis on physical beauty over substance or double standards in the workplace, but the government has never tried to have me lashed or killed for meeting with a man, or not wearing certain clothes.

Honor killings, rape as pa for of punishment, stoning, death for doing research on women's rights.

I may not be proud of everything America does, but we kick Islamic countries' asses on women's rights.

MacEnvy: I will never have respect for a religion.

Right on!!!!

/was going to say Amen brother, Amen, but that seemed a bit off.

I will never have respect for a religion that worships rabbits, fries ants with magnifying glasses, and says you can't eat adobe.

How I roll.

Most Christians I know have never killed anyone... the 1,000,000 dead Iraqis don't really give a shiat.

BTW, everyone will die. Religion does not cause death, life does.

What does female circumscision have to do with Islam? It does happen in some majority Muslim countries, but that's like saying the desert is part of Islam because some majority Muslim countries have lots of desert territory.

Yeah objectifying women in magazines and movies is way worse than killing them for cheating on their husbands, making their voice in court second to a man's, legalizing beating of them by their spouses, forcing them to cover up in public, etc.

Double standards from people like you amaze me. You probably get bent out of shape about extemist mormons who have multiple wives and marry them young (which you should), but when they are muslims you want to bring up perspective.

Hah, I love hearing farkers pretend to care about women's rights. Every single story here involving a woman gets a barrage of 'DO NOT WANT' or 'I'd hit it' comments, regardless of what the story is about. Women's rights my ass.

Gregory F. Stuart: If you kill or hurt another person because of your religion or their religion, you are a savage.

Unless they knock on your door on saturday morning when you are hung-over to tell you about their faith.

Other than that spot on.

RanDomino: you're telling us that Muslims act totally irrationally?



No, i'm saying that there are a lot of irrational people using Islam as an excuse to murder a lot of white people.

As bad as that is, what's worse is watching people here in the West make excuses for a bunch of ignorant savages behaving as if we're still in the 12th century.

Just so you're aware, none of this has to do with the Muslim religion, and everything to do with being trapped under the thumb of some awful people (who have support of America, go figure) with little to no education to speak of, and very likely don't even have a pot to piss in. Desperation, when mixed with no education and lots of frustration at the establishment they can't change tends to result in people using whatever outlet they can to get their anger noticed. Sometimes it's aimed at a cartoonist, and other times it's aimed at a school of easy-to-butcher Muslim children.

Elvis Christ: Hah, I love hearing farkers pretend to care about women's rights. Every single story here involving a woman gets a barrage of 'DO NOT WANT' or 'I'd hit it' comments, regardless of what the story is about. Women's rights my ass.

Ok so if someone makes a joke involving a womans appearance then they are just as bad and have no right to question or mock a group that thinks women shouldn't be allowed to drive, vote, divorce their husbands, have equal say in the law, have unsupervised contact with men, etc.

I totally see where you are coming from on this.

It's not just their religion, but their society itself, that endorses such laws. (There's that blatant ignorance again)

Such laws and policies have worked adequately for them longer than your society has existed, and your society is pretty seriously screwed up by any measure.

I would not expect you to like these alien policies. I certainly don't expect you to understand or accept them. But you should definitely respect their right to do what works for them, else you're just another hypocrite.

I don't even know how to respond to the idiocy of the rest of your post...

I won't help you there; I could beat myself half to death with the material I provided myself, but I can do that in NotePad and save bandwidth. One needs no forum to bash one's self in writing. Besides, that's just the kind of thing my state-appointed psychiatrist is hoping I'll do.

I am a Republican who is outraged about them killing each other.
The liberals want to 'understand' their culture.
I want to end it. We should kill them all. That will stop them from killing each other. Problem solved.

I'm sorry but... bullshiat BULL FARKING SHIAT. We are not perfect, we are some much better than these medieval societies in regards to personal freedoms. You're comparing not having the right to any flavor of icecream you want to getting beaten with a bag of scorpions.

You have no idea how good you have it. None. Is there room for improvement? Sure, but the improvements to be made now are social in nature, not enshrined in farking law.

Women have a "right" to be free of the hittable/not hittable dynamic?

How does that work? Can that be enforced? Shock collar zings me any time I see a woman and don't think "OMGdon'tjudgedon'twantdon'tnotwantneuterneuterneuter" hard enough?

Lol?

Don't castigate everyone but yourself for "not respecting women's rights" when you haven't the foggiest what you're referring to. A woman does not have a right to walk around making men avert their eyes or not ponder if they find the woman attractive. That's just ridiculous.

On the other hand, it would appear you have a promising career with AP.

MacEnvy

I will never have respect for a religion.

I found none I liked extant, so I invented my own, and I have no respect for it, either. But at least I don't have to listen to anyone else tell me how marvelous it is.

liam76:

I didn't equivocate anything. I'm merely saying it's funny to watch farkers get all sanctimonious about women's rights after a thread full of 'SHARP KNEEEEEES' about a woman *insert story here*.

Of course it isn't as bad as Muslim countries, but that's not the point. You're like one of those people saying 'Yeah, well at least we're not like China!' when shiat like Abu Ghraib is found.

Weaver95: As bad as that is, what's worse is watching people here in the West make excuses for a bunch of ignorant savages behaving as if we're still in the 12th century.

It's okay if some Brown people do it because all White people oppressed them into murderous insanity.

If White people talk about some Mystical Entity in the Sky & use the G-word (not Krishna, Allah, or whatever other word for the Creator), then it's OMFGBBQ!

/U R RACITS

Small fix, Muslim religion should be "the Muslim's religion".

liam76:

which one is that?

It's either Catholicism or Judaism, but since the day is wrong I'm not entirely sure.

/and I'm not so sure Judaism's thing is a ban on meat so much as it is an inability to cook meat before sundown on Saturday
