So, are you lot chanting "Allahu Akbar!" and dancing in the streets, or trying to figure out how you're going to continue to convince people "Jihad" actually means "personal struggle" - or what? Another blow by Dar-As-Islam against Dar-As-Haram, right lads? Any comment at all? Hm?
Don't be so sure. They haven't been very quick to denounce the violence, either. Only thing we've heard from em is "stay indoors! They could start fighting back!"
::rolls eyes:: Ever hear the expression, for the thoughts/deeds of many, judge not the whole.... Just because there is a group of extremists who misinterpret the Qu'ran does not make the entire religion of Islam or the entire world full of Muslems bad... There are many people who misinterpret Christianity (hello Crusades!)...but does it make Christianity wrong...no... Both religions teach peace...its just how others interpret it....so regardless of who caused the attacks on the underground today (Prayers to our brothers and sisters in London)...please do not stereotype and attack people as a whole.....there are good people in this world of all walks of life...they just never make the papers....
RE: Just because there is a group of extremists who misinterpret the Qu'ran does not make the entire religion of Islam or the entire world full of Muslems bad... Excuse me? Have you read the Koran? And BTW Jesus' first act in his ministry was not to rob a caravan at swordpoint and say "believe as I do or die."
I love the way the rest of the world (people, not governments) could give two healthy shits when this happened in the US. But it's a fucking emergency when THEY get blown to hell and back...
The rest of the world didn't get blown to hell and back. It was just London. Is London the only other place you know of in the world? I disagree, I think all religion is wrong, so there. Philosophy is ok.
Spain did, as well. I can't wait for Paris to get bombed. It'll be interesting to see them NOT demand the USA goes in and kicks tail for them after all their verbal diarrhoea about peace before...
quote: I can't wait for Paris to get bombed nevermind, you are now and idiot. Other countries gave a lot of support after 9-11. You and Zoomie get too involved in politics and too wrapped up in an us vs them mentatlity...these are just people going to work and getting killed, people don't deserve that no matter where they are..... which in the case of England, is along side our troops fighting in Iraq.
When a few westerners die we cry immediatly but who cares about the bombs the uk dropped upon the market places in iraq.... I am not supporting what happened but Im shour suprised over your way of judging life. (for instance, if a) plane crashes in africa, the reporter(in sweden, I guess theres no real difference in the U.S) says: A plane crashed today in the eastern region of Libia. Two americans are reported dead, 4 germans and several other nationalities(the "unimportant" ones, such as africans, asians etc) Then she always finishes with saying : No swedes died on the plane (puhh what a relief, who cares about all those africans, atleast no swedish person died) Perhaps I should send you a private message every time american or brittish soldiers kill innocent civilians in iraq blaming you for what they are doing???
RE: nevermind, you are now and idiot. With the exception of France, which bleated on about how we should be into peace, America sucks, etc. RE: When a few westerners die we cry immediatly but who cares about the bombs the uk dropped upon the market places in iraq.... I am not supporting what happened but Im shour suprised over your way of judging life. Guerilla war sucks, doesn't it? Maybe if they wore uniforms and didn't do things like terrorism, we wouldn't have to pop every kid that makes a sudden move, because in a place like that, sometimes it really IS the six year old with the rocket launcher. But this isn't about the US or the UK. This is about the Islamic folk here having NO COMMENT on the Jihad striking again at the corrupt Daram-Al-Harb
quote: With the exception of France, which bleated on about how we should be into peace, America sucks, etc. And here some people say "France sucks" when it comes down to it people are stupid and their governments play them like fiddles. I would not want to be judged as a person by what the US govt. does, maybe some people do, but they are idiots and I wouldn't be like them.
R: nd here some people say "France sucks" when it comes down to it people are stupid and their governments play them like fiddles Er, I was IN FRANCE for two months after all this. Nearly got into a bar fight simply over my accent because some Bretonnais didn't like people from our country, never mind the near-constant lectures about our way of life. And of course, the "rip your garbage out of our soil" spraypainted on the graves of those US servicemen who died in WWII was charming too. I'd like to see Chirac NOT demand that Bush go in and kill on France's behalf... AGAIN. ... when the Tour Eiffel goes foom. Mind you, I don't think it will. Paris is almost half Arab anyway, and they don't want to risk bombing their own.

Well of course there will be those types of people, and they are assholes no doubt about it. Imagine a French guy going into a bar somewhere stupid like Amarillo, Texas or something.
Seamonster: I never said that people here weren't unreasonable towards Frenchmen. I'm saying that France's stated policy is not to get involved and to pooh-pooh the US. This WILL change when Marseilles or Poissy go FOOM
I'll repeat this a FOURTH TIME Any Muslim wanna comment on this? You're very silent on this and it's been a day or two now.
