As-Saalam-Alaikum.. yeah, right.. Are We Ever Going to Really Wake Up?

The title of the thread is "As-Saalam-Alaikum.. yeah, right.. Are We Ever Going to Really Wake Up?"

I don't think my reply is that out there. The problems in the Middle East have a lot of factors feed into the problem other than just the religion by itself. Going into them all would make this post way too long. You state that people should "stand up now". What does that even mean? Have debates? Making generalized statements about entire religion based on the actions of a few? Start bombing countries indiscriminately? Rounding Muslims up into concentrations camps? Your view of the world is overly simplistic. You don't see as many Muslims from Qatar becoming terrorists like there are from Yemen or Pakistan. There are reasons for that.

I grew up in the South and heard that the Bible was the "infallible word of God" in various churches. Many Christians take the Old Testament as seriously and Muslims take the Quran. Christian Extermists just have different priorities, like shooting abortion doctors. Like I said before, the problem is people who take their fairy tales too seriously and the choices they make.

After you answer this, let's go to Hindu religion, does it say kill non belivers? Yes or no?
This has nothing to do with interpretations when a book literally removes that option for its readers. You sit here making statements and you haven't read the book. Go read it and stop telling me you have Muslim friends. I have read part of the book and I soo laugh when people start saying its a peace loving religion. It isn't and the sooner people realize this and stop making excuses the better. And when I say stand up, it means stop condoning the killing, stop turning a blind eye, arrest those that do such acts, stop the funding, stop the assistance etc, it means a lot of things and yes, if you cant live in peace then go meet your 72 virgins that have probably been fucked silly by 1million other guys.

You copied my comments and I had high hopes that you read and processed the information and could answer back. I was sadly disappointed and I am starting to think you are just talking and not listening or reading or capable of answering the question. Everything has been explained so since you also haven't asnwered any of my questions posed to you, This conversation is over.

Be better informed before you spill nonsense out of your mouth.

my best friend is a muslim. and he loves pink floyd, pork chops, and weed. him and his family managed to escape iran when the shah was in power.

my nextdoor neighbors are are hindu. other side are muslim. my ex so is a buddhist. i am an atheist. we all get together for dinner sometimes. share food and wine. good times.

and remember...timothy mcveigh was a christian. and muslims hate us because we keep invading their countries and killing innocent people for their oil.

Got any New Testament references? God was always flexing his muscles and being pissed in the Old Testament. Originally Posted by pyramider

Now I do agree with McBeth that even though Christians killed a lot during the Crusades- you can't reference one biblical verse where Jesus told his followers to kill innocent people or kill people in general. Yet, the Koran is filled with verses that promote violence and intolerance.
Here's a popular verse from the book of Luke:

] As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. [52] And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; [53] but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. [54] When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?" [55] But Jesus turned and rebuked them, [56] and they went to another village.

So in the above text- the people and that village didn't accept Jesus teachings- the disciples wanted to commit violence by sending fire down from the heavens to kill the non- believers and Jesus responded by rebuking the disciples for having the idea of committing violence.
Islam on the other hand promotes violence against non-believers.

People should stop pussy footing around violence from the Muslim religion, stand up now and stop it or a 3rd world war would be because of religion sooner rather than later. Look at all the horrible things happening and you may get mad with this statemtnent.
We are just like the British, we get our oil from the Middle East so we bend our asses around and take it in the ass Originally Posted by macbeth1000

Do you tell your “Muslim friends” that, “People should stop pussy footing around violence from the Muslim religion”? Personally I believe you made up the bit about your Muslim friends. That’s an incredibly ignorant statement. I’ve met many Muslims, none have tried to kill me or been violent toward others for having different beliefs. Humans of any religion have a hard time living peacefully, even when they share the same God. Telling people they shouldn’t do something isn’t a particularly effective method to get them to stop if they’ve been radicalized.

Who is this “third World War” going to be with? That’s just nutty. No Muslim Nation has the resources, army or strategic coalition to wage a war on a global scale. They can’t even fight ISIS.

aside from the radical Islam discussion, there's another point to be stressed.. the fact that this Monster had been arrested 10 previous times, and should have been in Prison still.. why do we keep letting these people out? why does a civilized society want Nut Cases like this roaming among us?

Let's say 5% of the 1.7(I am taking the smaller population figure) are radical(Most believe it's 10 percent) but 5% of 1.7 Billion radicals is roughly 75 million- if you take the closer figure of 10% who embrace radical jihadist belief that means nearly 300 million muslims are radical- 300 million is the entire population of the U.S- if we have 300 million people in this world who share beliefs of the Taliban/Al-Queada and ISIS that should scare the living shit out of you.

It’s like when people say things like; most Latinos here are illegal, most African Americans are violent criminals, Asians have small dicks and are good at math, and all Jews are greedy. What you’ve typed is incredibly ignorant. I’ve been to the Middle East and Indonesia. One person out of twenty did not attack me or try to kill me.

People who become radicalized are more likely to come from an impoverished background, have little or no formal education, no job prospects, and no chance of ever finding a wife. The first three reasons are similar to why kids in America join gangs.

What you’ve typed, I mean wow. I just don’t even….

I don't care what the "others" say since you're referring to MacBeth and WellEndowed who have offer nothing but bigoted stereotypes of Muslims. I don't respect their opinions, so what they think means nothing to me.

You on the other hand go out of you way to be liked by strangers on a message board spending all day and night making lame jokes and inane comments, playing the clown hoping people will like you. That desperation is morbidly sad.

You sound like an ignorant bigot who thinks he knows what goes on in the world because you "saw it on the TV".
