Muslim hysteria

[Lalanae]

so they're playing catchup

lol

Most of the middle east still lives (and behaves!) as they did 400 years ago. What exactly is "catching up" to you? How about crawling out from under fundamentalist religious thought or looking for ways to advanced their society economically (they are on some of the richest land in the world mind you). How about educating the people or encouraging free thought. Well guess what? All "catching up" points to Western ideals and progress and that is exactly what they condemn. THAT is being civilized.

Many of the powers that be in the Middle East, whether it be political or religious have no interest in pulling their people out of the dust and muck. They don't care about educating the masses or providing equal rights to women. The majority of Muslims in the Middle East probably are so bogged down by oppression, lack of education (ignorance), poverty, and religious propaganda that they either lack the means or motivation to envision a better life. BUT that is no excuse. By your logic we should all feel sorry for child molesters because many of them were sexually abused as children. At some point people have to take responsibility for their actions. They don't deserve a pass just because they've had it rough.

Many Muslims are not violent fundamentalists. Why don't they speak out against the statements of their own religious and political leaders? Why don't they condem those Muslims who call for the death of all Westerners? Too busy protesting the Pope I guess.

You can't liken an entire culture to something like a child molester. A child molester knows what he is doing is wrong and either can't or won't stop himself from being deviant.

Most middle eastern muslims from countries like Iran, Lebanon and Syria are dirt poor and the only thing they have in their lives other than their families is their faith.They are raised from childhood to think that westerners are decadent and godless. They aren't exposed to our cultural ideals, and when they are it is used as a tool to further disparage the west. It also doesn't help that they hate jews and look at the USA as jew lovers and basically blame the existance of modern Israel on the UK and united states.

It is very, very rare that you see wealthy arabs from Saud or UAE or Jordan behaving like what you see on the news.

Although I will concur that islam is a lot more violent than other (especially modern) religions in text, and that violent extremism is more prolific among educated muslims than many other cultures, that is more of a product of the times than anything else in my opinion.

And lots and lots of muslims speak out against it. Some of the more voiciferous muslim clerics in Canada, Europe and the US routinely condemn violent muslim outbreaks. One of the more prominent islamic clerics in Canada has his own show and he always talks about those kinds of issues and usually quotes koran passages that condemn what the extremists are doing. There are always muslim and interfaith peace demonstrations.

The reason that middle eastern clerics don't condemn it is probably for the same reason that muslim women who don't believe in wearing a Hijab wear one anyway when they go out. They don't want to be doused in gasoline and fucking lit on fire.

I full support nations solving their own problems. For awhile in the late 90's and early 2000, Iran was well on their way to losing their theocracy and modernizing their views somewhat. Then somebody's president came out and called them the axis of evil and threatened to invade them while invading the other country he called the axis of evil right beside them.

[Nick]

I guess if people allow their right to say whatever the fuck they want for fear of violence then that is ultimately a form of terrorism.

Whilst the Pope was a little irresponsible not to realise how fucking retardedly hysterical the Middle Eastern zealots the responsibility in stupidity lies firmly with them.

[Kylere]

Yeah cause George Bush is so amazing that he managed to solo cahnge the entire course of events in Iran based on words.

All the people that wanted democracy quit and fled Iran, leaving only those insane enough to develop weapons grade materials. If Bush was that influential we would be much better off, hell even Republicans are turnig their backs on him.

[kyoukan]

Yeah, it was only words, YOU FUCKING RETARD.

You're right Kyou, but I have trouble sympathizing with people who incite violence against others just because they are products of a fucked up system, even if that means they can't recognize that its fucked up. My patience is at an end. Of course everything is so fucked up now that I'm fed up with everyone. Bush stirred up so much shit that I'm really expecting WWIII. How many countries hate us enough to be a threat now? Now we've got Hugo Chavez openly siding with Iran, calling Bush "the devil."

Eric and I will be spending the next 2 weeks in Belgium (mostly). I can't wait to get away from this country even if it means coming back. Of course I hope I don't get spit on for being from Texas. I love this country and the life I can live here, but Bush and his cronies have made me ashamed to call myself American.

The only source you need to know about Iran!!!

[Marbus]

I'm not going to say Bush was the only cause, but when a country is heading for democracy, their moderate leader of the weaker power offers assistance to mend 20+ years of conflict (after the stronger country was partly if not directly responsible for 30 years of opression) and the more powerful bully flips them their bird and calls them evil... well...

So what happend after that? After they "tried" to side with the US and got the finger? Well the radicals took power back because obviously the moderates weren't able to do their job, they weren't able to lead so you get a radical fundamentalist in office...

Again not saying Bush's actions were the only cause, but his and our previous actions in Iran throughout the last century ARE one of the major causes, yes.

Marb

PS - And why did he do that? Could it be because Iran is Shi and the Sunni's have most of the oil? Nah... I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. Hail the Grand Oil Party!

Oh my patience for fundamentalist islam wore out years ago. That doesn't mean part of my doesn't sympathize with them, though. People are products of their environment.

We wouldn't even have to fucking deal with them if western nations just bought oil off of them and left them the christ alone.

Don't stop there young Kyo. Why do those countries have the largest disparity of wealth and the most unstable governments? Could it possibly be because they live their lives by their religion?

Maybe you can get one of those Survival Kits that contain a Canadian Flag T-Shirt and say "eh" and "don'tchaknow" after everything.

[Tuddi2]

you're exactly right midnyte and i really mean that, as in they live their lives by their religion.

because that's how they were brought up, and they are as lala so correctly put, a product of a fucked up system, which is a few hundred years behind the western world. (i'd rather call it a BY-product myself though) our system back then compared to what we have today would be described also as fucked up.

we advanced through this portion of our history, but we did it with no giant looming over us, taking away the natural resources of our land and paying a very very select few who then have it sweet and drive around in a million dollar lexus.

out of this mayhem of a situation, every now and again you'll have some pissed of guy, and once in a while one of those guys will have personal charisma, and one of those guys will become a religious fanatic perhaps even a clerk at some mosque.

and now we have a problem, because the problem spreads rather easily with the barrier to restrain you from doing something that's actually against their holy book (read kyou's part about clerks in canada pointing out segments of the koran that say just that) is beeing torn apart by some charismatic guy who can twist thing around and make you think killing the infidels is ok.
but the end justify the means as they say (at least i'm sure people like bush say that )

so, they'll let is slide and jump on the bandwagon and wanna hate the western world that's personalized in USA, unfortunatly for you, luckily for the rest of the western world, because we're just as guilty as you are for keeping the status quo, your just the biggest (and outspoken about your superiority (read as size)) guy around so they blame you.

-----------

sirton about your list and how many of those wars involve muslims.

economies, cultures, few hundred years behind the world around it, religion, fucked up system.

that's the reason, it doesn't justify it, but changing this isn't gonna just take Lala going over there with a loudspeaker yelling "my patience is at an end, start acting civilized"
it's gonna take a long fucking time, and a helluva lot of, well heck .. propaganda to have people slowly get the picture, and raising their children up to believe the same, and stuff like letting women vote and work etc ... is O.K. !!

-------

and to Lalanae

about those child molesters, yes i feel sorry for them, they have to pay for what they did with jailtime, getting nuts cut off or something to try and prevent them from ruining another life and possibly creating another child molester, but i do feel sorry for them.

here is why, they are human beeings, they have sexual urges just like you and me.

the focus of their sexual urge is pointed at something that is perverted and wrong. they know this is wrong ( at least most of them do, the sociopaths dont), but lets remind ourselves that this is a sexual urge, one of our basic instincts, it's a rather powerful portion of our selves and sometimes makes us do pretty stupid things.

now imagine if you had sexual fantasies regarding, rubber spoons, you'd hide it, because you know the world around you would think you a pervert but mostly they'd be ok with it because noone gets hurt.

change rubber spoon with children, and we're not just perverted but wrong, because now there is a victim and we know there is.

i can't imagine what the "normal" pedophiles have to go through to try and justify it to themselves, that this is ok, they'll still know it's illegal but they themselves have to feel ok with it at least for the duration of the offense, because you have a hard time getting sexual pleasure when you're not ok with what you're doing.

so they say things like "she was flurting with me" or some bullshit to yourself, and then you go about doing your disgusting thing in private where noone can see you and find out about what you're doing because you know it's wrong.

so yes, i feel sorry for them. something in their brain is beyond fucked up and they have to live with it.

try and put yourself in similar shoes, and i'm assuming you're a guy, and you are attracted to women.

now lets say society tells you, that's not the right thing to do, you have to have sex with other men now, you'll be put in jail and be thought a disgusting pervert and a criminal if you have sex with women.

but..... you really like women ..... we'll it's not as simple as one would think to just NOT feel sexually attracted to something any more and just replace it with another thing.

christ the wall of text kicked me in the teeth.

Now come on, it's quite obvious that the US are Godless and that's what's made them the happy go lucky, friends to the world that they are today!

They didn't elect a religious fundamentalist as President, twice..

They don't say "God" in every patriotic utterance, "In God we Trust", "God bless America", "God I wish these fucking Mexicans would go home", etc.

They don't devote more money and time to debating if you should terminate a pregnancy than what to do with the child when it's born.

WORLD WAR III IS COMING
President Bush and Rumsfeld are sitting in a bar.
A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Rumsfeld sitting over there?"
The bartender says, "Yep, that's them."
So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor! What are you guys doing in here?"
Bush says, "We're planning WW III."
The guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"
Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with big boobs.
The guy exclaimed, "A blonde with big boobs?
Why kill a blonde with big boobs?"
Bush turns to Rumsfeld and says, "See, I told you, no one gives a shit about the 140 million Muslims

[Wulfran]

I can't believe people are still trying to defend this.

The pope fucked up. End of story.

He either

a) Forgot his job description and the fact that as the spiritual leader of the largest sect of christianity and that as such a multitude pay attention listen to everything he says/writes. People then analyze and draw their own interpretations from his words and this may not always be what he intends, so it behooves him to be careful about WTF he is saying... like any other world leader.

b) Was trying to create another shitstorm with Islam.

Benny had a reputation as an intelligent and somewhat controversial theologian, prior to being made Man-With-Red-Shoes. As pope he either needs to control that aspect of his personality and temper it or he is going to continue pissing people off and hurting his sect. I don't think it was appropriate or acceptable for muslims to go on a rampage against christianity (and interestingly enough they didn't target just catholics, thus displaying a Midnyte-esque ignorance of their targets) but this WILL continue to happen if people like Benedict don't use their heads.

[Winnow]

My point is that Hugo Chavez expressing hatred toward the United States isn't something that should surprise anyone. He topped the list of non Middle Eastern U.S. haters long before his recent comments at the U.N.

Yes because a nation's global influence is 100% related to the size of it's military. Also, Chavez repeatedly talks about how he is going to launch a full scale invasion of the united states, therefore it is imporant to look at the size of Venezuela's military to establish whether or not he can.

Yes because a nation's global influence is 100% related to the size of it's military. Also, Chavez repeatedly talks about how he is going to launch a full scale invasion of the united states, therefore it is imporant to look at the size of Venezuela's military to establish whether or not he can. YOU STUPID FUCKING SHITHEAD.

Oh, geez. You better call the Pentagon and let them know. I doubt they have thought about considering that. You are so smart.

The Pentagon, (or more specifically, those within it), don't give a shit about anything but the military aspect. That would be their job, dumbass.

Oh lordy, lordy. Excellent pick up. Thanks Z. I'm sure if the right people in power where ever they made be, were able to tap into the intellect and idealism of those who frequent these boards, the world sure would be a greater place. *sigh* If only.

We should create something similar to godwins law except specific to the vault.

Vault law - A situation whereby someone mentions something from the old days of EQ to stifle any degree of rational or relevant conversation.

I think we need a VV glossary!

Nope. The translation is, I don't pretend to fucking know more than those whose jobs it is to know.
