This tragedy was caused by assholes and ignorant men, NOT representatives of the Islamic culture. Its the same in the case of Christian leaders that are convicted sex offenders and the "christian" war mongerers that follow the Wolfowitz Doctrine ... the people involved are assholes, not solid representations of their respective religions. There's nothing wrong with Christianity or Islam, just some of the assclowns that pretend to represent them.
Should your link be a hint to the population problem? What do you mean to say with that? I suspect something very very strange and suspecious, I don't want to write it.
Didnt say it was right, just clearing up the difference between a bunch of backward villagers in the middle of nowhere & a religion of 1 Billion people. (As a side note its not millions of years at all and its not every culture) If I said, (following CRs comments earlier): All Hindu's called into question for burning brides http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=bride+burning&btnG=Search All Christians called into question for believing a guy from Bethlehem had blonde hair and blue eyes http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=jesus&btnG=Search&sa=N&tab=wi All Muslims called into question for terrorism http://images.google.com/images?svn...=safari&rls=en&q=muslim+terrorist&btnG=Search All Catholics called into question for being Paedophiles http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=catholic+paedophiles&btnG=Search I cant be bothered to go into detail, but its extremely easy to make up stereotypes based on what you *dont* know. Meanwhile, I spent the night with a christian, just spent an hour with a hindu, im going to meet a muslim for coffee in a bit and tonight I said I help a jewish friend of mine with his site. Personally I just thought they were friends of mine. However, after reading this thread I've decided not to go for a coffee with the muslim and instead call him a rapist along with the other 999999999 or so muslims. - what a joke, get a grip guys. Maybe I can find myself a White Muslim or perhaps African Jew or even a Somali christian or for those so bothered about colour, heres one to confuse you black albino Did you know that Rastas and jews have alot in common. Can you tell the difference between a persian and an arab ? The only thing we know for sure is: All geeks wear glasses http://www.fragtopia.com/currrent-news-images-etc/Eye Test.JPG
Umm.. ya, it is. Man has been around for about 2.4 million years. Women didn't have equality 2.4 million years ago just as they didn't have it a hundred years ago.
Yeah, they were not allowed to vote. Damn, harsh... Much worse than being gang raped, beheaded, covered up, not allowed to drive, I could go on, but you made my point already.
Run a search for Moulana Abdul Razzaar - amazing that Google doesnt have any results and I havent seen this bullshit story anywhere else.
If you start blaming Islam for this.......... You may have to start blaming Christianity for the works of the pedophile priests........
Please don't sweep that brush to broadly. Priests do not make up all of the Catholics in the world, and Catholics don't make up 100% of the Christians in the world. Thank you for your support.
OHHHHHH DIRRRRRRRRRRR! Ok. I just remembered a discussion I had, kinda related. I was asked "What is wrong with Democracy?" I replied, "Ah...nothing?" I was told a story: 5 people are stuck in an elevator. 4 men, 1 woman. A man makes a motion to rape the woman, it is seconded and voted on. 4 for (the men) 1 against (obviously the woman). The woman is raped. In this case where an ideology is abused to apply local tyranny shouldn't be motivation to dissolve the whole system. Oh, before I get the red reps, I know we don't live in a democracy, but a representative republic. No mob rule here, just boob rule.
Ditto. What about all the mailmen <insert PC BS>(postal carriers)</a> that have sex with little boys? What about all the firemen? What about all the contruction workers? What about all the actors? There is a pedophile is just about every profession. I grew up Catholic, was an alter boy, the whole nine yards. Never once did I encounter a pedophile preist. Quite a few drunks and heavy smokers, but never a pedophile.
Tesla hit it right on the head. This was a group of individuals. In all nations and in all religions there are those who do evil things under the guise of faith. There are also those who are truly devout and would never even concieve such an action. Often people of ill intent disguise themselves and even convince or delude themselves with religion.
No, I actually take responsiblity for my own actions and have a pretty good grip on reality. I don't believe in physcobable, you know ?
