The 3rd Beatitude in the book of Lacerda:

Blessed are the carrots; for they shall inherit the earth.

The 7th:

Blessed are the peas-makers; for they shall be called children of the Gardener.

Then who is supposed to do it? Hm?

The ones who don't care if they get their fucking head cut off and dumped in a ditch for speaking up against a small percentage of religion-hijacking cockbags.

Hey! You don't seem to have a problem with it! Maybe you should!

How much money do want to put down on me being facetious at that moment?

Myriter · « **Reply #80 on:** April 18, 2008, 04:18:53 AM »

$5,000.
But that's only because I owe the lettuce money.

I really hate it when an entire religon is portrayed by whever has the bigger microphone. I know a lot of muslims who hold a passion for their religon but also a good deal of intelligence when it comes to what having a passion for your religon means. When it gets down to it its really just a lot of politics. Even within holy books its still just politics. If anyone ends up watching the current political violence exhibited by muslims on the part of their religon, just find a nice place to sit for awhile and read as much of the new testament as you can get through. if testaments isnt your thing then go to "your local library and pick up a book about the time period in which the Islam, Judaism, and Christianity arose. No matter which way you put it you are dealing with politics, and as we know, Politics sucks. it takes good people and turns them bad and gives the bad too much power.

Try reading this - Link
This is a simplification, but Benazir Bhutto argues that militant aggression is due to a misinterpretation of the Qur'an. All believers in monotheism, Jews, Christians, and followers of Islam are all Muslims ('Muslim' meaning "one who submits" to God). All follow the same god, but the message the Jews received is suppsedly distorted, and the Christians messed up too. Islam is an attempt to create a definitive message from god by putting it into Arabic and keeping it that way.

As has been said, all religions are capable of putting out violent fanatics. Why should Islam be singled out?

okay, by alot i meant two families. i didnt mean that i had access to the majority of muslim population but i felt that i knew enough to hope that there are others like them out there that take pride in their religon without beating others over the head with it.

If you were on a bus with a Christian, a Jew, and a jihadist Muslim; which do YOU think is most likely to blow the fucking bus up?

Is it going to a Planned Parenthood clinic?

It might be; but you know the jihadist is the only one with the balls to blow himself up to get the others. The militant christians are too cowardly; they set up us the bomb in the clinic and leave.

It's either balls or lack of brain power. Haven't quite figured out which.

A loaded question and a poor one. Jihad doesn't mean to go out and slaughter Christians. Some people take it to mean that and they end up being the ones who get the press. I wonder why?

If you'd asked "If you were on a bus with a Christian, a Jew, and follower of Islam; which do YOU think is most likely to blow the fucking bus up?" I'd say that all are equally capable. The militant groups that attack in Islam's name aren't true followers. They're idiots.

To start with; there are many other threads here discussing the shortcomings of other religions besides Islam (mainly Christianity), so I fail to see how you gather that Islam is being 'singled out'. Secondly, violence IS the concern most non-Muslims have against Islamist extremist; there aren't many reports of casualties from Christian or Jewish suicide bombers or militias, or Christian or Jewish training camps teaching the how-to's of violence and war.

I'm sorry. I've been here for a whole ten minutes. I haven't gotten around to every thread on the boards. I know there is concern over "Islamist extremists." I didn't grow up fearing commies. I grew up fearing those freedom hating terrorists.

Quote from: 12AX7 on June 14, 2008, 07:42:57 AM

Also, Islam is the only religion (that Im aware of) that still - today in 2008 - openly says non-believers should be killed; and follows through on their beliefs.

That was the point I was trying to make in my last post. Christians and Jews ARE believers. They believe in ONE god (minus that who trinity thing some Christians go on about). True Islam leaves room for tolerance. Jews have historically lived better under Islamic rule than Christian rule.

Quote from: 12AX7 on June 14, 2008, 07:42:57 AM

So, just because other religions are capable of putting out violent fanatics; we should just leave the militants alone to kill us in peace? Is that what you're saying?

That's exactly what I'm saying. You read me like a book, but you missed the part where I tried to point out that Islam and terrorism aren't the same thing. Extremists exist and just because they get the spotlight doesn't mean all followers should get a bad name. Extremist misrepresent the message in a horrible way.

12AX7 · « **Reply #95 on:** June 14, 2008, 04:59:56 PM »

You keep arguing from the point of view that someone said Muslims = terrorists. It has been said (over and over again) that I, personally, am talking about EXTREMISTS. And this day and age the ones who are actively pursuing harm to myself and way of life are MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS; whether you "determine" they are right or wrong about their religion is pretty much irrelevant.
At any rate, your post is prime example of why it's pretty much pointless to try to seriously discuss anything here. After a 6-page thread; you STILL think you should "point out" that "Islam and terrorism aren't the same thing".
