Hmmm, it's been awhile, but-- I seem to recall Mohammed ordering people murdered in the streets because he found something about them offensive to his meglomania. ----------------- In any case, no, no book, nowhere, no matter what the words say, should ever, ever, be banned.
First of all, I never said that they weren't Arabic, only that they didn't cause 911. Anyway, I think the British have done more damage thoughout history than America has. They've had a lot longer to dominate and colonize. They have colonized and decimated native populations the world over. Just because it happened in the past doesn't mean it never happened. And if, now, they are just following the U.S. than that is even worse since it means they are just tools.
It's later. You still up for it? I got a massive hard-on and it could use some mouth-action. I would not let you suck my balls. Shame on you.
Well I am not going to argue with you, seems you are looking for a bit of a row but you can look elsewhere. I am perfectly happy to simply disagree about the whole matter. I think calling us British 'tools' is pretty pathetic mind you, and really is a testament to perhaps what I have been trying to say. America is a bit of a bully isn't it? Congratulations on bigot and an aficionado of your countries seamlessly racist attitude. And yeah for the record, sure Britain has colonized the world over, like many have. Whatever the hell happened in the 17th or 18th Century can be forgiven by anyone, that was how things were done then. In such the political correct world we have now I figured countries would learn to settle problems a little differently than to simply place a flag down. I mean, dare I mention you native Red Indians of America? You have even dominated your own country lol, just it was a different time. And Britain's damage? Prove it. I am just worried someone is going to just try and blow us, or you up again. These are the most worry times the world has seem, and here is a thread discussing whether the Koran should be banned- and thus, a persons right to read it. Whoops. I don't want another reply to my personal page btw, I am out. As I said, happy to just forget about the matter.
Oh and one last thing, I am Welsh and not English. Technically, I have barely done anything wrong, like ever. All we have ever been to England is cannon fodder over the centuries.
Being Islamist doesn't make you Arabic (though I think you mean an Arab, or Arabian- Arabic is a language and a culture, not a person). It just so happens that Al Qaeda are Arabian but 80% of the worlds Islamic population aren't Arabian. Being Arabian doesn't automatically make you Muslim either, contrary to popular belief. I know this isn't relevant to the conversation being had at all, but whatever. Get it out then. I'm going to try to not draw any blood, but when I get this excited I just can't make my teeth behave.
Duly noted. I'm not going to protest to knowing much about Arabic people generally. Nothing in any thread remains relevant after 10 pages or so anyways
It certainly wasn't Afghanis or Iraqis it was Saudis, and what retribution have we gained from them higher oil prices?
Naw-- I'm no suck--ah, er, -- believer. But long ago and far away I was sitting on my ass in jail with nothing to do so I read everything I could get. That includes both books of the bible, the koran, the book of mormon, etc. As a study in human gullibility, they're all fine. Otherwise... Dune is a much better read-- and more realistic. And if you've already read it, the koran, etc. is the gom jabbar.
Don't get me wrong-- muslim are fools like all believers. But when it comes to historical violence, they are pussies compared to the catholic church. What the Spanish did in the Americas, with the aid and blessing of the church, was organized genocide. And they were successful more than once. Seen any Arawaks lately? Aztecs? Incas? ------- Taking history into account, the conclusion is obvious: xenophobic belief systems always promote violence against those that fail to subscribe.
Shame on me? For what? Think about yourself and your attitude toward other people before you go bashing religions and races.
Agreed, because whether you agree with literature or not, it still is part of world literature, and thus forms part of world history. To take an example, what about Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sader-Masoch - the man after whom Sado-Masochism is named. It was written in the Victorian age, where issues concerning sexuality were swept under the carpet, yet where men enjoyed their kinks in private. If Venus in Furs were to be banned in that age, and all copies were to be destroyed, what would we have today of the account of the "perversions" of a certain writer? L_S
I am just amazed at how some here think banning one ideology will make their lives safer and better. I just love the new catholic tv ads that have divorcees saying they've returned to the church. How is that? And Rick Warren makes 2.5 million to feed the poor in his flock. Got to love religion.
