Well, that's weird - I just posted elsewhere about Jewish special relationships with Christians in England. The special relationship being mainly that they got persecuted for being different and had their property and wealth confiscated. Here:http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=422231&f=74 Probably pretty much what the Jews were saying about the Bible in 13th century England, or the victims of the witchtrials in 17th century England - "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" was taken pretty literally as an instruction from god by Matthew Hopkins and his ilk. .
Why was this even created? If you have read and followed other such threads you would know what the outcome would be without ever starting it. Almost everyone on this site is super far left (liberal extremists). Any views outside theirs will instantly be attacked.
are you a member of the westboro baptist church? you seem about as reasonable. you're the extremist here, talking about banning a religious text in a country founded on the ideals of liberty and freedom of expression/religion. you're completely irrational in your analysis of the koran as well. it is in no way less sexist than the bible. christians are taught the bible is the word of god as muslims are taught the koran is. you're blaming a book which advocates peace and charity for a cultural problem in parts of the arab world.
Reality and education has a liberal bias, that's why Republicans hate NPR despite the fact they're the most non partisan news source in the nation.
my old man's as conservative as they come, but has been listening to npr lately. fucking blew my mind
I guess I am the extremist here. On a site where most are conservative the same could be said of you.
Well, according to my most recent political science class, liberals want things to move forward, and conservatives want things to stay the same or move backwards. And this was explained by a republican professor. The idea of banning a book for the betterment of society is fucking nuts. Lets ban PiHKAL because it encourages drug use! (Oh wait, the DEA's practically suggested that... Who woulda thunk it, evil people wanting to ban literature to advance their goals) Islam is evil and must be stomped out, in my own little fascist liberal view of things. The difference is how I think this needs to be done. EDUCATION. More people need to read the koran, more muslims need to be exposed to more ways of thinking, to the world at large, to other (equally crazy) religious texts. If you just ban a book, you make HALF THE WORLDS POPULATION righteous and downtrodden and PISSED THE FUCK OFF. You do nothing but multiply the numbers of extreemists, because suddendly it's illegal to be muslim, which makes them extreemist by DEFINITION! They'll take the ball and run with it. What a fucking stupid idea.
no, you're the extremist anywhere in the free world. only under a totalitarian regime like china or north korea would your notion of banning mainstream religious scripture not be extremist. fascism, dude. not cool
I find that picture repulsive - I do not condone or associate with such graphical hatred of another human being! I also have no 'beef' with any religion either - you may worship a rock so long as you do not pick it up and throw it at me! The truth of the matter is this - Islam is no religion at best it is a political ideology with global domination at its basis and engine - at worst it the afore mentioned mixed in with the qualifications of a fanatical cult! Any peaceful scripture in The Koran is abrogated by later violent and racist scripture - Islam murders Christians every day and it murders Jews every day as The Koran instructs its brethren to do - most of these murders never reach the news - most of the churches burned down are not mentioned and make no mistake only Islam burns churches down! This post is nothing to do with race or religion - Islam is neither - The Koran instructs its reader to 'Make war on the unbelievers' and the definition of a Muslim is a person who follows the teachings of The Koran! Those that say it is a religion of peace are saying this out of total ignorance - it is a very dangerous ever expanding - imposing - demanding ideology! The Koran and Hadiths instruct killings - racist genocide - sexism against women and homosexuals - religious hatred - rejection of common law and institution - and treason against any state it moves into! I am not a bigot nor a so called racist - I am a realist and bearer of facts! Do the research - read The Koran and Hadiths - listen to those who have and are now trying to bring this problem into open discussion at threat to their very lives! As yourselves why I have been threatened on a regular basis with death for simply stating facts? Would a Religion of Peace do this! Thankyou for reading and more importantly thankyou for Hip Forums for having the minerals to leave such a discussion and my posts up!
Yet you can not post that on any English forum - or Newspaper message board! Our own forum has had to be based in the USA because of political correct terms! I was surprised it has been left up and I never rant - I do fact and example!
You could give me an example of a religious war in the last 100 years which was not started by Marxism/Fascism or Islam Please? I won't hold my breath - also include Genocides if you wish?
Or do you want to bring up The Crusades - which were a reaction to The Islamic expansion and Islamic Crusades leading up to them? Do you want the time scales and battles which brought about The Christian Crusades?
the same could be said about christianity during the middle ages. does that make it innately evil? you listen to too much westboro propaganda dude
