An Outlet to express your Rage at Islamic fanatacism

So, what does everyone think of the reaction of the Islamic community to the Danish cartoons??? I know there is a thread for that, but THIS thread is for you to have the chance to express your outrage at actions perpetrated by the radical Muslims.

Such as the destruction of ancient Buddhist statues.
or
the abysmal human rights records (womens rights, rights of minorities, right to free speech, rights of Gays/Lesbians) of any nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the U.A.E....
or
the ridiculous intolerance of OTHER religions in these nations
and many, many, many more injustices in the name of Islam.

Please, feel free to vent about how these injustices infuriate you!

I know the Musims are offended by the cartoons, but for 3 or 4 days now muslim immigrants have rioted in several of our largest cities, thowing rocks at the police and firefighters, burnt cars and destroyed shop windows and yesterday they set fire to several schools and even a kindergarten!! They demand that we respect them and Islam, hell no when they act like this :mad:

and I know this because I'm danish.

well, perhaps in their culture burning down kindergartens is an appropriate response to being offended by a cartoon. Socio-political moral-relativism, or some BS like that? :rolleyes:

You see, the way to be liberal or defend liberalism is not to get upset when other people get offended at stuff. Nor is it to deliberately try to offend as many people as you can - that's not liberalism, that's called being a dickhead.

But even if I felt the need to vent, it would be venting against individuals, not some faceless hivemind called "the Muslims".

EDIT: I know that some of the protestors are danes, but most of the riots and burnings take place in neighbourhoods with mostly immigrant habitants.. and the trouble only began when the media announced that they were going to reprint the cartoons..

Small groups of youths have set dozens of cars and dumpsters ablaze. Police officers and fire brigades have been met with stonethrowing and molotov cocktails in five consecutive nights of violence in the capital that have gradually spread to other Danish towns.

Some 50 people aged 15 to 25 have been arrested during the past week, charged with arson and violence against police officers.

While last year's riots were caused by youths angry over the closure of the youth centre, this time around authorities were at a loss to explain the violence.

"We don't know exactly what's behind it," Copenhagen police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch told AFP.

The riots began at the weekend [before the cartoons were published] in Copenhagen's heavily immigrant populated neighbourhoods of Noerrebro and Vesterbro, but have since spread to several other areas, including Denmark's second biggest city Aarhus and other regions have no significant numbers of immigrants.

According to media reports, some of those taking part in the riots were aged 10 to 12 years old, though police said no one that young had been arrested.

Some have suggested that new regulations that allow police to search people at random for weapons, even without suspicion, have left youths in Noerrebro feeling harassed, while others accused the police of racism.

Munch said those could be the reasons for the riots, but also offered up other explanations.

"They don't like that we are in the area of Noerrebro and looking for weapons on youngsters, they don't like that we are trying to stop the cannabis market, and a few other things have been mentioned too, such as the problem with the Mohammed drawings," he said.
Damn youths... (http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Denmark_vows_zero_tolerance_after_w_02152008.html)

People are weak, simple-minded and stubborn fools - manipulable, and easily so, yet undeterrable from whatever irrational convictions they have had handed to them. This is true no matter what creed you are conned into following. What would be the point in blaming individuals for the behaviour of a collective? That's like blaming the individual bubbles in a glass of lemonade for its fizzyness.

Lemonade is fizzy because of its chemical composition, given to it and preserved in the manufacturing process and realised through environmental factors. Fanaticism is no different. Extremists can exist because our current political environment of isolation and systematic abuse of resources subtly drives people to radicalisation, and they do because it is carried out by sadistic tyrants and megalomaniacs who seek to reap the profits of their own personal army of mindless masses. Why blame the byproduct when it's the manufacturing that's responsible?

Plenty! Just read a few books of the old testament! But I fail to see the nasty stuff that Christians did because God told us to. If you're thinking about the crusades, or the spanish inquisition, that was partly political, and partly that the Pope didn't want to lose his power to a new Religion (Or new sect of Christianity)
And? What debate is there to be had about my answer? I never said it came close, not at all - Christianity has done far worse things - I really don't know what you expect me to say about it.

It was more the time period. If Islam was the major religion in Europe, there probably wouldn't be too much difference in what they would have done. They might have been a bit more tolerant of other religions, but if you look back at the ottoman Empire, it's not much better.

Hmm...so, if one is to make a thread on the atrocities of Pol Pot, one isn't allowed to UNLESS you make a thread on every single atrocity that has ever taken place on the history of this planet first?

Similar to the argument I continuously hear from people on this forum....one isn't allowed to criticize Islam UNLESS you first criticize every other religion on this planet FIRST.

Repeated provocation would just make them blow up 80 more people, so as in the case of the Newspapers, they should learn not to offend the Muslims.

Most people in the US are Christians.... and that about half of them (at least) are "leftist" to you.

Of course there's also the Christian Democrats (http://christiandemocrats.org/) specifically.

So obviously, you are wrong because you have never met or heard about a Great Many People.

. I am sorry facts get in the way of your delusions.

What fact? The fact that you live in a basement? Yeah that was really persuasive there. You can see how many people in this thread agree with you that all leftists are atheists.

To your other point, yes, Islamic terrorism does not exist to a lot of leftists.

Why did you say "yes" when that not only doesn't AGREE with anything I said, it doesn't even ADDRESS anything I said at all?

For the ones it does exist for, it is justifiable.

This is an interesting fiction you're creating. Strawman fallacy, of course. Not that you know what a fallacy is.

You condem abortion bombers (which you should) and praise "freedom fighters" who just happen to attack civilians.

I do? When did I do either one? Oh that's right I didn't, and this is just your stupid strawman fallacy again.

Most of it didn't happen. The conquest of Canaan has been comprehesively demolished by archaeology, which has shown that, far from being the land of fortified cities and mighty kings described in the Bible, the 'cities' were barely even villages and the kings were so weak that as few as fifty Egyptian soldiers were sufficient to put down an attempted landgrab. Most of the 'cities' didn't even have walls to destroy in the 13th century BC, a few of them didn't even exist at all at the time...

I think you’ll find many people, no matter their political persuasion, rightly believe that the threat of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is greatly exaggerated for political means, and that the idea of an International Islamic Conspiracy is in the same category of ‘bullshit’ as the International Communist/Jewish/Illuminati/etc Conspiracy.

Plenty! Just read a few books of the old testament! But I fail to see the nasty stuff that Christians did because God told us to. If you're thinking about the crusades, or the spanish inquisition, that was partly political, and partly that the Pope didn't want to lose his power to a new Religion (Or new sect of Christianity)

Host desecration: the belief in transubstantiation led to fears that heretics would sneak consecrated wafers out of church to spit or stamp on them. Hundreds of innocent people were murdered (with religious motivation) on suspicion of having committed a completely imaginary crime.

Most people in the US are Christians.... and that about half of them (at least) are "leftist" to you.

Of course there's also the Christian Democrats (http://christiandemocrats.org/) specifically.

So obviously, you are wrong because you have never met or heard about a Great Many People.



What fact? The fact that you live in a basement? Yeah that was really persuasive there. You can see how many people in this thread agree with you that all leftists are atheists.



Why did you say "yes" when that not only doesn't AGREE with anything I said, it doesn't even ADDRESS anything I said at all?



This is an interesting fiction you're creating. Strawman fallacy, of course. Not that you know what a fallacy is.



I do? When did I do either one? Oh that's right I didn't, and this is just your stupid strawman fallacy again.



Yes I'm sure everyone who is reading this is going, "Gosh, Kontor is being so reasonable, unlike that mean immature Greater Trostia!"

How so?

You’ve pointed out the existence of one or more particular terrorist cells that may or may not inspire one another, cells that kill and injure a relatively tiny number of people when compared to any real danger the world faces.

No International Terrorist Conspiracy there.

Conspiracy? Who ever said that?

You condem abortion bombers (which you should) and praise "freedom fighters" who just happen to attack civilians. Nice caps by the way, it makes you seem REAL mature.

You don't need to get the point of this thread. You are unwilling to see the point that there are many many actions carried out by Islamic fanaticisms that should be severely criticized. You are free to, as others have, open your own thread criticizing US policy (even though other nations make bad policy....what, that apparently counts as an argument with the fanatic sympathizers here), criticizing Israeli policy (even though other nations make bad policy....why aren't we talking about them ALL) or criticising Christian fundamentalists for not allowing a female to be a coach (I don't know if that's even legal, I mean without a disclaimer that OTHER religions have fundamentalists too).

That in all the debates about whether publishing the cartoons was bad or not, the fact that each post did not end with a parenthetical "by the way guys, just so you know, even though I think publishing offensive material is bad, murder is of course far worse" that we don't actually think this, or believe it.

We didn't "fail to mention" the attempted murderer. We didn't "fail to condemn" his actions. We know. And like every single person in the world capable of demonstrating a shred of rationality and intelligence (read: not you) we don't need to go about explaining ad nausium that murder is bad, because it goes without saying.

Except, perhaps, for you, who feels that if we don't pepper every single thread with giant fucking flashing neon signs saying "murder is bad, mkay?" that somehow we forgot one of the most basic tenants of civilized society.

We didn't bother to explain our feelings on murder because we assumed that saying "murder is bad" is such an obvious fucking truism that anyone who had enough literacy to read the post and enough intelligence to turn on a fucking computer would understand that it goes without saying.

My failure to 'mention the attempted murder" does not mean I don't think it's relevant. My not mentioning it is about as important as the fact that I did not wake up, get on this forum, and declare to everyone here that water is wet, the sky is blue, my cat has fur, and that Boston is cold in February. It falls into one of those "we already know this" catagory. One of those particular quanta of information that every sane rational person here is aware of. No, I didn't mention the attempted murder and take time to condemn it. Because every single person with a shred of intelligence and honesty would be able to know my position already. Just like I didn't come into this thread and tell you that 2+2 = 4. I assumed you had a fundamentally basic understanding of certain facts, and a fundamentally basic intelligence sufficient enough to apply those facts to the real world. I had assumed that you were capable of understanding "murder is bad", capable of understanding that I would also think "murder is bad" and have reasoned your way through that particular train of thought to reach the conclusion that I don't need to tell you what you already know.

I assumed you were capable of demonstrating a level of rationality and intellect equal to that of anyone who is not severely retarded. I see I have misjudged you. In the future when I am interacting with you, I will remember that you lack even the most basic level of competance and will address you accordingly.

Let's see....how should I do that...um....I know. Would you like a lolipop?

And....Rakysh, did you just talk bad about Hamas??? Do you know about other religions which have also done certain bad things. How dare you not mention them, choosing to offend only Hamas. What's next, a CARTOON?

Fuck off yeah? I've lurked for most of this thread, and frankly, I think you're a twazzok.

Hamas are political orgaisation, and are basically militant. You are the one who wants everyone to metion bad things muslims have done in the past. Try and get past your bigoted part, and realise that there are evil people in almost every orgaization, and that bringing attention to them all the time only grants them more power over our fears

And now you've made me break my "no swearing" thing for lent.

I warned you about offending me. I have the support of many in carrying out a severe beating of you as a response to this offensive name-calling.

But really, if a newspaper were to cover the story, and simply mention the Danish side of the story, or just the AllahBorg side of it, you wouldn't think they would be biased?

The point is, the original goal of the cartoonist was to see if if were possible to break the taboo of not insulting Islam. He had said every other religious figure had been parodied, but not Mohammed. You whining about offending the Muslims, while failing to even MENTION the reaction of the AllahBorg, which was perhaps far more severe than the author had ever expected, seems severely retarded. Comparing this to having to mention that the sky is blue, seems severely retarded.

Although, I do not wish to collectively punish the mentally retarded so.

Whew, have we got the names wrong here.
Yes, you very much have.

The definition of liberals sound more like conservatives to me.
That’s not surprising, seeing as most of those on the right stress individual liberty as a thing of primary importance, and support the basic tenets of classical liberalism: protection of one’s life and well-being, one’s liberties and one’s personal property.

That’s not to say that all liberals are right-wing, far from it; but it highlights the uselessness of characterising political discourse as ‘liberals vs. conservatives’, as many conservatives (if not all) are also also liberals. Indeed, both the Republican party of the US and the Conservative party of the UK are, in the most part, strongly supportive of liberal policies, and could well be described as parties of liberalism.

The Allahborg? What the hell is wrong with you? I have never heard such a shitting ridiculous term in my life. If every Muslim were part of the so-called "Allahborg" there wouldn't be much left in the West, seeing as we have 7 million muslims alone in the US.

Again....how many members of other religions spontaneously combusted in the past decade. Why is it, that, regardless of the socio economic or political factors, that it is almost always the AllahBorg? If it was only the socio economic or political factor, then one would not expect to see such a high correlation between acts of terrorism and religion. One would expect a rather uncorrelated relationship.

IRA, Tamil Tigers, Assamese Tribes, Lords Resistance ARmy, they are all, or have all committed acts of terrorism. But what about

Iraqis, Saudis, Taliban, Bali, Madrid, London, New York, Darfur, Washington, New Delhi, Kashmir, public stoning, beheading, abyssmal womens rights

there may be many groups involved here, but they all claim to be somehow serving one God. They may say they are implementing Islamic law (Iran, stoning, Taliban), they may be defeatin the infidels who anger Allah(Bali, Madrid, London, New York) etc etc.

Those may not be the ONLY reason mentioned (even Osama Bin Laden mentions reasons other than wanting a Caliphate), but it is NOT a coincedence that they ALL do have this one common belief in common. They all believe that Allah is the one true god, and nonbelievers must be punished. Why the large correlation between terrorist acts and Islam?

Lord's Resistance Army rapes small girls and sends them into combat. I don't see how that's any less worse than what the terrorists do.

And secondly, you're views indicate that you've never actually read the Quran, so I'd advise shutting up before your ignorance humiliates you further. The Quran, is Sura 109 says

"In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Say: O disbelievers! (1) I worship not that which ye worship; (2) Nor worship ye that which I worship. (3) And I shall not worship that which ye worship. (4) Nor will ye worship that which I worship. (5) Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion. (6)"

And if you knew your history at all, Islamic communities have traditionally been the most tolerant in the world.

BULLSHIT....you mean how they went into Iran and forced the Persians to either convert to Islam or to die....or how the Moghuls placed a tax on Hindus in their own country. Or do you mean in modern times, how all forms of "deviant" sexual behavior is punishable by law, and idol worshipers are not allowed to build any places of worship, because Idol Worshiping is forbidden in Islam. That is the first time I have heard Islam is tolerant.

And about the Quran....first I wouldn't wipe my ass with that filth. Second, why do the people find it so hard to follow this quote. Third, there are parts where Mohamed talks about killing the non-believers who refuse to convert.

Actually it's not a form of ejaculation for "terrorists", but an innocent phrase for Arabic speakers and a buzz phrase for insane islamophobes. "Allahu Akbar" literally translates to "God is great". Even Christian Arabs would use the phrase, because Allah is God in Arabic, not some otherworld deity you're trying to create.

Economic factors are much of the cause, and political ones are the rest. You seem to be thinking that Islam is the only influence on life for Muslims, but that is far from the truth. For instance, you will see that almost all terrorists attacks are carried out by those in poverty. It is also a less destructive alternative to massive bombing campaign carried out by so-called "civilized" countries. I'm quite sure that Hamas would use planes and tanks against Israel if it could, but it is denied any chance at building an economy, and thus it's only means of attack is either rocks, or suicide bombings. It isn't some battle between Islam and Judaism, but a fight over land and resources.

The thing to keep in mind here is that there are many horrible things that go in the world, and Muslims are not the only one's to blaim. Terrorist attacks are mild compared to bombing campaigns and large scale wars, and genocide occurs even today across the world.

You are such a moron, it's almost funny. So you're telling me that you make blanket statements about Islam without reading the Quran to see if they're correct? How stupid. The people don't find it hard to follow that quote; we're talking about a small minority of individuals who actually deviate from it. In Iran, persecutions were very rare (though there were a few). If you knew anything about the Islamic expansions in the 7th century, you'd know that the Arabs didn't have the manpower to force Islam on the population. And you're dislike of Islamic penalization of sex, how does that compare with the US purposely outlawing condoms to increase the likelihood of AIDS and pre-marital childbirth to discourage sexual deviance? The Muslims aren't alone in that one.

And the Moghuls? I thought this was about modern terrorism, but if you want to delve into history, the atrocities committed during the Crusades trump any harm done by the Moghul jizra.

And I'm an atheist, btw.

Not quite true, some may have been forced to convert, but many converted by their own free will, and other's kept to their old religion.

The Mughals were extremely tolerant of other religions during their great years, more tolerant than any state in Europe at the time in fact. It was Aurangzeb, the last "great" Mughal emperor that taxed Hindus, the preceding five were tolerant.

Just because some states punish homosexuals (who still can't get married in the US of all places) does not mean that all Muslims are evil, I have found myself to be more tolerant towards "sexual deviants" than 99% of the people I know, and I would say 99% of the people I know are Christians, and I'm a Muslim. Not to say that Christians are intolerant, but the point is that sweeping generalizations are bad, because there are people on both sides who are extremely homophobic and others who are the opposite.

Also, you claim many things are forbidden or mandated by Islam. Would you care to provide some links, especially where you say that Muhammed said to kill non-believers.
