And actually, the group 'they' is defined it the same sentence.
And how the FUCK is it bigoted to talk about a group who proclaim OUT FUCKING LOUD that their goal is to wipe out non-believers?

I knew what you were referring to, but try reading it as "a group" = Muslims not "a group" = radical Muslims. That's how it was pointed out to me. I'm not arguing, I'm just saying I can see how it may have been misinterpreted.

When was the last time moderates of any sort got any publicity?

Sound point. Moderation doesn't sell, big guns and screaming idiots do.

Did you just call yourself an idiot?

Or are you just trying to get attention again?

... and now that we covered the religion of peas, what is the religion of cucumbers (generally speaking, of course)?

No.

Fruit - Grow on trees.
Vegetables - Grow in the dirt.

Raspberries on the other hand are predominantly Irish Catholic.

Sooooooo... what's up with my pole beans frisking my seedlings?(I moved the tomatoes away and they (the beans) turned on the carrots) So far, the Calendula and Sage are acting as buffers and it's working. I know for a fact that Sage is agnostic. But what about pole beans and Calendula?

If only it were that simple.

The word "vegetable" is a culinary term, not a botanical term.

Besides that, trees also grow in the dirt. Infact, I'm pretty sure the only things that don't grow in the dirt are orchids, which means everything except orchids are vegetables. (Excluding hydroponics because I don't know any examples of it happening in nature. If it does, then by this method there are vegetables, orchids, and hydroponics.) Since this would be completely illogical and so is the statement about raspberries having a religion, I'm going to say it was sarcasm. God I hope it was sarcasm. I took it as sarcasm, anyway.

EDIT: Seaweed is an example of natural hydroponics, so you do have vegetables, orchids, and hydroponics. Fruit is a figment of your imagination.

Do you get extremist vegetables that give other fruit a bad name?
If so why doesn't the moderate vegetables speak up against them?

I would say the peas are speaking up agaisnt them, but actually, they're designing a bigger, better bomb so that they have something to threaten the world with when they launch their take-over plan, thus making them extremists.

I would say the same thing about the raspberries, but the raspberries are too busy trying to martyr themselves on the 'religious intolerence' sword.

The sage would be speaking up but a law is about to pass making it legal to teach "gardenerism" as a fact in seedling schools.

The pole-beans are doing something, but I'm not sure it's helping.

The mushrooms have rallies every third Tuesday of the month, but no one comes to them.

The asparagus try to speak up but everyone is hushing them because their still too young to have an opinion worth listening to.

The calendula see what's happening but don't give shit because it doesn't affect them.

The tomatoes send out a monthly newsletter, but they don't like offending anyone so they only send it to you if you request it. There are 2 vegetables on their mailing list so far.

The cabbages sit around smoking cigars and cracking jokes about humans having religions, because they already came up with a solution to the problem, but intend on telling no one.

The corn started a meeting on whether or not they should speak up two years ago, the meeting still isn't over and the matter hasn't been decided on yet, because the legistation can't be agreed upon.

The melons launched an all-out offensive without consulting anyone, pissing off everyone, especially the corn, and now they're are in deep cotton and no one is willing to bail them out. The corn is still waiting to see the request forms.

The cotton is the offending party.

The artichokes think the whole matter should be dropped and more attention should be paid to the plotting peas.

The eggplant just wants everyone to hold hands and sing "kum-bi-a".

The marigolds want everyone to shut-up and the melons to come back and they can reinforce the borders.

The basil and rosemary are busy lobbying for better soil.

The mints would go the mushroom's meetings, but they have religious meetings that conflict with the scheduling.

And finally the squash mope around their vines feeling very sorry for themselves and mumbling about how no one ever sees it from their point of view.

Does that help answer your question?
(Did I leave anyone out?)

The lettuces were talking about it but then the whole melon family went to war suddenly interest in that topic died. Now the lettuce are more concerned that the okras may resort to terrorism to gain attention, much like the cotton.

 When I was little I equated okra to 'biological warfare' and hurled them across the table at my sister when my parents weren't looking.

Later, I learned to appreciate them for their culinary value and I love them deep fried with tartar sauce.

That boiled mass of slime does wonders in soups, stews, sauces, and gumbo. But they should have given the sliced pieces a nice long bath, then throughly dried them before cooking, if they were going to serve it straight like that.

Okra is a naturally very tense, stressed out vegetable. Heat makes it explode into a massive mental breakdown and then it gets all weepy and weird. You have to calm it down first if you want to avoid the loads of emotional hysteria.

To get slightly back on topic for this one post:

I think basing your behaviour on a document that was written thousands of years ago in a completely different world is a bad idea; this is why all religions need a total re-write of their holy books and I suggest that I'm just the guy(?) to do it.

Not all religions are based on antiquated texts.  Take, for instance, Buddhism.  It accentuates the self – and your own attainment of nirvana – not what you can do for the religion, but what you can do for yourself. 
That said – I’d like to read Lacerda’s 21st Century texts – with stylesheets.

Didn't read the last ~2 pages, but if I was a moderate (read: reasonable) Muslim who was going to get my fucking head cut off and dumped in a ditch for speaking up against a small percentage of religion-hijacking cockbags, I just might be a little tempted to keep my mouth shut.  Hm?
