I work for a Muslim, so I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about, but trust me. You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality, you don't know what you are talking about.

This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you don't know about the topic, don't make yourself sound like you do.

Cause some farkers will believe anything they hear.

Boinkers: Some of you say that not all muslims are bad like this and I know this to be true. But the bad ones need to be kicked out of Europe pronto. Let us use the money we now are pissing away on so called "aid" to palestinians and other nasty people and instead buy milk and other products from ARLA food. I bought 8 liters of milk today, btw ;).

It comes down to the "haves" and have nots. People that feel that they have been farked around tend to drift towards the extreme right/left. America has added fuel to the fire over the years by blindly supporting any gov't in the Middle East that is friendly to us regardless of how badly they may have treated their own people (...actually that wasn't limited to the Middle East). We supported Hussein for years and never seemed too concerned about his treatment of his people until he invaded Kuwait. We supported the Shah in Iran - not exactly a democratic gov't. And we have continued to support the monarchies that buy our weapons and sell us oil. Most of these people were ruled by Europe - France and the UK - for a long time as well. We in the US weren't too happy about being a colony of the UK either as I remember. I am not excusing the behavior and the violence but to disenfranchise the people further will only lead to more violence and more extremism. The bottom line is that we need to STOP meddling in their affairs. We can't keep pushing democracy on them as they will only resent us more - if and when the people decide they've had enough then we should be there to support them. You can't bomb the entire Middle East and the more you support monarchies and dictatorships the more terrorists you will create. Oh yeah...that whole Israel thing after WWII didn't exactly help either.

someone needs to write islam a letter informing them of the last time europe got pissed off with a religion...

Wait a sec - Is he flipping someone off?

Note to PO'd protestors: the above depicts Jesus as both a charicature AND a bobble-head, yet even Christians can have a good-natured laugh at it. Get a clue.

With regards to radical-Islamic terrorism, I don't think it's nearly that simple, or even totally accurate. The Lebanese felt farked around by the Syrians after they assassinated Hariri, yet instead of going on suicide-bombing rampages, they took to massive peaceful pro-democracy protests in the streets, Christians and Muslims alike. Furthermore, take a look at this study from about a year ago:

A John F. Kennedy School of Government researcher has cast doubt on the widely held belief that terrorism stems from poverty, finding instead that terrorist violence is related to a nation's level of political freedom.

If there is a bright side to this sordid story, it's that the Muslim world is showing the rest of the planet why organized religion should be banned. Period. Only a religion as retarded as this would advocate mass killings of innocent people over a harmless Cartoon. WTF is wrong with these people? And where is the leadership with enough balls to stand up to these farktards and tell them how stupid this is? Un-farking believable...

Read my post again - that's exactly what I said. The problem is that WE'VE been the ones supporting their monarchs and dictators. This idea of us spreading democracy is BS when you look at the history of who we've supported in the world. Sure, we'd love it if they suddenly became democracies with western-friendly gov'ts - but we're more than happy to prop up dictators when it serves our needs. Hussein was our friend...we even helped bin Laden fight the Russians. Not very nice guys to be dealing with, but as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In any event, forcing democracy on people that already resent us for interfering is probably not a good long-term strategy for winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim world.

I wonder if most religions go through the same "phases." I mean, will Islam go through the same social movements as Christianity? Did it start off at the top of the line, degrade for a while into sensless paranoia and persecution (Dark Ages, anyone?), go through a period of revival, then emerge more sophisticated then it was to begin with, and also more moderate. Will Islam, which appears to (for the most part) be in that second Dark Ages stage, emerge as a more tolerant culture then finally level off as a majority moderate thing.

Another interesting thing to look at is if this happens in cycles. Will Christian leaders begin another Dark Ages descent into persecution and paranoia, repeating the whole process.

/just a thought
//Yes, I understand that Muslims are not heathens and that most are reasonable and tolerant people
///Just talking about the leaders here.

It's just a few hundred sh*theads making an exhibition of themselves, not millions of people. The fact that they are shouting "death to the UK" while conspicuously failing to leave the UK, many having come here as asylum-seekers, speaks for itself. They are dickheads.

Hey... that sounds kinda like those Americans that are still living here despite proclaiming they would move out of the country if Shrub got re-elected and, yet, they still live here.

Jerry2A,

The US supporting certain regimes (interesting discussion on its own) has no connection to the Islamic holy book suggesting having sex with 9 year olds is a grand ol idea.

Islam is farked up and Mo-mo is a pe-do.

That would be the dil-eo.

BiggusDickus: has no connection to the Islamic holy book suggesting having sex with 9 year olds is a grand ol idea.

if you want to pick apart an ancient book, have you ever checked out the Bible?

sorry, but thats just a bunch of revisionist nonsense. poverty causes crime just like it causes terrorism. People also need to stop pretending freedom in this day and age is actually freedom. The economic system of the world relies on slave labor and massive amount of unemployment and poverty. These people in turn are not happy, and are desperate, and will turn to something like crime or terrorism. That is a simple fact, no corporate sponsored nonsense can change it.

Cartoons with controversial material? Who knew?!!

frostcrow:

Does it really matter ? It was no more right back then than it is now. That they didn't have TV and books does not excuse inflicting human suffering on the level they did

Ot course it's fdefferent. The masses were GROSSLY ignorant back then. ZERO comparison.

Protesting is fine and all, but the second these fookers start calling for violence and citing things like the London bombings, its time for an ass kickin'.

Where are the soccer hooligans when ya need em?

jerry2a:
I dunno...there are a LOT of Muslims in the UK. How many do you think there are in Denmark?

/I have no idea, guessing not many

Great Britain: 1.6 million/2.2%
Denmark: 114,000/2.1%

Baron Von Supercock:

So your response to a call for violence is a call for violence?

I'm surprised your head didn't asplode while you wrote that.

Dansker: So your response to a call for violence is a call for violence?

Yeah, it's a proper response to those initiating violence as a response to nothing.

RockIsDead:
Yeah, it's a proper response to those initiating violence as a response to nothing.

Why don't you try thinking that through one more time.

/Rock is NOT dead. It just smells that way.

Big Al,

If you're looking for a defender of the bible, keep on looking. I'm merely pointing out that sleeping with 9 year olds is questionable, part of the Koran (quoted above in this thread) and the situation at hand is Mo-mo's followers threatening everybody with death.

Keep focused now....

karasoth,

thanks for bringing your discredited Marxist ideas into this thread

now go away

And thanks for your astute misanalysis of my comment. Do you even know who Hegel was? And how do you interpret my comments as my expousing Marxism? I don't seem to remember mentioning Marx. Perhaps you should read (and understand) some works of Hegel. Then maybe you'll realize that all societies in the civilized world are structured along Hegelian lines, that is, they are based upon endless conflict and the primacy of things material, as opposed to spiritual or ethical. Societies that, in practice, more or less deny the outer third of the human brain it's place in daily life, in favor of Hegel's pain-filled homicidal free-for-all, much to the amusement of the "elites" that play referee from their think tanks and golf courses.

Discredited? Yes, by anybody with a brain and a conscience, That excludes most of the human population of the world. Which is why this reptilian Hegelian doctrine predominates almost everywhere.

But what little you know of what I speak seems to come second-hand from college history textbooks and cleverly-worded, bloviating National Review articles. Here's a hint: a shockingly-high number of those sad people are "former" Marxists (their term,) which they can say with a straight face because one can repudiate Marx and still be Hegelian, albeit a "conservative" one. It seems that you can just change some terminology around and suddenly, "democratic capitalism" fits a "reformed" Marxist like a glove. But of course, who knows what a sophist really believes? After all, they have bills to pay.

And who knows what you believe? Only one person really knows, so try putting your wits to the test with real books and direct experience instead of sniping blindly at people you don't know on dumb monky-barn "discussion" threads like this one.

Until we have the nerve to do what needs to be done...these members of the "religion of Peace" will be at our throats. These 'lovers of peace' are either at your throat or at your feet. Which will we have it? We must not be too PC nor too civilized to destroy them utterly.
