Self indulgent nonsense...
How about you not telling me how to live my life or what I should and shouldn't be posting!
If you don't like the thread you can kindly go elsewhere!

Pal, if I was being hostile you'd know...
You just said I was delusional, & posting crap...
You were hostile & for that you can kindly head towards another thread as your presence isn't needed or wanted here!

Islam is no different to any other society, nobody & nothing is perfect...
With that said if most people like myself had a say they wouldn't be in a position to pull strings in the Islamic, or World communities...
I find it interesting though ... you say that you don't hate Israel but you also say that you don't like the people running it. And yet here I am hating most of that which organized religion pumps out but I'm caring for the people in those religions .

Yes I said it...
Too many know-it-alls keep lumping all Muslims together...
Despite the well known differences between sects!!!
Too many know-it-alls claim to know the "deeper, darker side "of Islam they call "the true face...",...
Without having picked up a Quran to actually read the peaceful approach that Islam has taught us...
Too many know-it-alls are making hateful threads aimed at people like myself...
Without the slightest clue as to what Islam truly represents...
Too many know-it-alls "quote" the Quranic scripture to "prove a point"...
Without consulting the Quran itself, instead copying & pasting from known Islamophobic websites that use mistranslations or blatantly miss out key words involved with the Surah...
Too many know-it-alls, with not enough brain cells between them to understand the philosophy of Islamic teachings to its fullest...
Instead cherry picking what they'd envision is a true representation...
Too many know-it-alls...
& you're probably one of them reading this...
To the people who have seen these antics & threads, that have spoken against the Islamophobic tendencies of certain members, fair play to you...
You're not the know-it-alls of this topic, you are the needle in the haystack, the wheat from the chaff, the light in the darkness!!!
To the know-it-alls, your hatred of Islam is embarrasing & pathetic...
Yes I said it!!!
I will not be replying to hatred, instead I will sit here laughing at your self-indulgent, diatribical vitriol, in the knowledge that I know better than an Islamophobe!

If you can make people loathe, fear and hate - you can get them to do almost anything
The government-sponsored anti-Japanese propaganda of WWII was unique both for the sudden way in which it materialised and the official approval it was given. Anti-Japanese propaganda may not have been unprecedented in America – and tensions between the two countries that had been simmering through the 1930s – but with the war came a landmark in history: through extreme xenophobia, US citizens on the frontline and home front were persuaded that the Japanese were an evil that needed to be eliminated whatever the cost.
We were actually at war, but we still had to do some marketing. At the time nobody thought anything about this - they were the enemy. I just think it's interesting that it wasn't enough that they were the enemy - they had to become subhuman monsters in order for us to not care as much about the types of things we felt we had to do
What is it we're being motivated to do these days?
