Suspected Jihadists hack man to death in London

Yeah, I think I would expect that to happen if intelligent, young, white, male computer users were an organized group out killing thousands of innocent people in thousands of instances in order to further their agenda.

Hookacks,great response, I'll comeback later with more time and spend the effort your post deserves. By the way, there was one simple tech glitch that led to some confusion, I was on my ipad and the link you shared did not show up. So that's where the confusion came from.

 

Religions don't kill people, people kill people.

The only way to protect yourself from a bad religion with a chip on its shoulder is with a good religion with a chip on its shoulder.

 

They have. It doesn't have a specific color or design, but the official Mexican flag is a piece of material that can inflate to cross the Rio Grande.

 

I don't know much about religion, but hasn't Christianity moved beyond much of the more draconian "laws" in the Old Testament?

It's a simple maxim: All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. Does anyone believe that if someone did such a thing in the name of Christ that there wouldn't be a mass uprising by Christians denouncing this heinous act?

The imams of Finsbury Park should encourage the people attending mosque to march and demonstrate in solidarity with this person's family and against this person. They should also denounce these two as apostates. Until we see mass demonstrations of Muslims saying this was not done in the name of Allah or Islam, then their silence is understood as acquiescence.

 

I don't think Christianity has moved past this, I think the main difference is the general education and poverty level of the people practicing both religions. Desperate and ignorant people are much easier to manipulate.

 

Yeah, look at what the baby boomers have done to this country, only listen to old people!

 

Christianity can't do anything. It is inanimate. The people who practice Christianity, however, have (mostly) moved past the more draconian laws of the Old Testament. Ignoring the subjectivity of 'draconian,' I would say that the people who practice Islam have moved passed the draconian laws found in the Qur'an and Hadith as well. I'd say a higher percentage of Muslims still follow "the old way" than do Christians.

One culture's simple maxims are another's nonsense.

And, do we actually know why these people did it? just because they shouted "Allahu akbar" during the act doesn't mean they were doing it for Islam. People say that all the time for all kinds of reasons, usually when something good happens.

I think you mean "then I interpret their silence as acquiescence because it fits my worldview."

Well put. And I suppose, when I travel especially, that I have done a lot to identify myself as separate from the group of young American males that have killed thousands of people in order to further their agenda -- the U.S. military.

This is a great point. Want the root cause of terrorism? It's not religion, it's poverty.

 

Yep. Mississippi and West Virginia are terrorist hotspots.

 

Apologize? No. Distance themselves from? Absolutely.

 

That's quite possibly the stupidest thing you've ever posted. And that's saying a LOT.

Oh, and go pound sand in your ass.

 

Bah

Hoo is correct..these guys are a peacefull religion only...sunshine, flowerss and little fuzzy bunnies...

"Islam is a religion, the tenets of which sometimes inform various forms of government. There are four, maybe five, Islamic republics in the world. I'll give you a cookie if you can name them without looking."

Sayeth Hoo




and I wil give you a cookie if you can tell me how many countries are attacked by state sponsered terrorism, thanks to this "reigion"

 

When people lump the Westboro Baptist "Church" in with Christians in general, an immediate and vehement condemnation is almost sure to follow.

 

The ignorance of Christians is astounding.

 

What you said was the exact opposite of "innocent until proven guilty" and is a pretty despicable form of bigotry. What you said was that for Americans who happen Muslim to not be seen as terrorists, they must publicly speak out against terrorism. That's fucking barbaric and ridiculous, you should be ashamed.

 

Does the US have a version of the EDL?

 

Because poverty in america is similar to poverty in Yemen.

 

Islam is the root of the problem.

Muhammad is a violent "prophet" and that book is their guide.


Zohar II 43a: "Extermination of Christians is a necessary sacrifice."

Quran 8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers"

 

Yep, just as much as every suicide bomber is well-fed and employed.
