No what’s retarded and ignorant is you not acknowledging the facts.


Well, Im still waiting for you to acknowledge that muslims are on the recieving end of foriegn aggression (christian and jewish). A point that you conveniently left out of your OP because it didnt mesh well with the point you were trying to make.

The fact that Iraqis and Libyans are living under a dictator, is irrelevant to the matter.
And the fact that you cannot see the difference between a political issue and religion shows that you are possess no understanding of your own threads subject matter.

They can't spit out of their mouths, has nothing to with religion. Not, why you idiots can't get along, anyways. It's a 3rd party intervention that you let get in the way of knowing someone else. How is that the fault of anyone else but your own?

Do you know why you don't see Christians striving to impose religious law? Because they already have many many years ago. Most of the conservative traditions we practice today are Christian traditions. These traditions have been inscribed into your brains (given you grew up in a Western country).

You ever hear of the inquisitions?



The Inquisition, Inquisitio Haereticae Pravitatis (inquiry on heretical perversity), was the "fight against heretics" by several institutions within the justice-system of the Roman Catholic Church. It started in the 12th century, with the introduction of torture in the persecution of heresy.[1] Inquisition practices were used also on offences against canon law other than heresy.
en.wikipedia.org...


Sounds like the 'Christian Jihad'.



The Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, called by the pope and waged by kings and nobles who volunteered to take up the cross with the main goal of restoring Christian control of the Holy Land. The crusaders came from all over western Europe, and fought a series of disconnected campaigns between 1095 and 1291; historians have given them numbers. Similar campaigns in Spain and Eastern Europe continued into the 15th century. The Crusades were fought mainly by Roman Catholics against Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians in Byzantium, with smaller campaigns waged against pagan Slavs, pagan Balts, Mongols, and Christian heretics.[1] Orthodox Christians also took part in fighting against Islamic forces in some Crusades. Crusaders took vows and were granted a plenary indulgence by the pope.


I guess the Pope was the Osama Bin Laden of their time, and the Crusaders were the Al Qaeda.

Here are some little known facts.

Problem... hunger. Everyone.

Problem... stupidity. Everyone.

Problem... indoctrination. Everyone.

Problem... everyone ...EVERYONE.

Maybe we can take a second and stop pointing fingers. There are a few that control, and many that are blamed. Lets see if we can point out who is hoarding food to 3rd world countries. Or oppressing people and their rights. Who is making up the rules as they go along. Who is suffering the most in casualties, and who is going to change it!! Unless you are actually dealing with the problems of another country or are actually living in the middle east, why would you decide to point out, another's life?

You cant speak for those that lost loved ones in an "honor killing",they have to do it themselves. There are people in the U.S that microwave their kids. Are you saying that they are worse... or better. By bringing up what another country does, how can you NOT examine where you are?

Are Muslims preventing you from writing this? Are they taking your so called "freedoms"? When was the last time you saw a women driving? When did you see a young women stoned in your neighborhood? These are the questions you have to ask yourself before putting yourself in the position to point fingers.


Peace, NRE.

Im not going to acknowledge that because Muslims are the main aggressors in the world. Not only to the west but their own people...

And yes, its very relevant the way muslim countries treat their own people. Because if they treat their own citizens like animals and garbage we can't expect them to treat other people and cultures any differently.

Class dismissed...

dude, there is no political sans religious government in islam.


it's the same thing.

muslim on muslim violence is huge.

northern ireland is about politics, not religion.

big diff.

ww1 and ww2 were fought by nationalists not because of religion.

shintoism, germany, et al, most happened to be a certain religious majority but they did not make war for religion.

stalin? mao? n.korea? what religion were they?

these dictators/organizations in the mid east are in it for power under the guise of religion.

a little more palatable to the masses and world sympathy.

the church was powerful back in the day, sure, so was the ottoman empire and islam.

henry the 8th started his own church when he couldn't get a divorce, lol, sorry about the way he went about it.

try 500yrs of roman persecution of christians and see what #'s you come up with.

There are christian extremists in Africa and hindu extremists (fighting with christians, too) in India. "Religion of peace" takes the cake, tough.

If every Muslim is bad in your eyes because of the 'Jihadists', then every Christian should be bad in my eyes because of the Crusaders. Those disgusting diseased Christian murderers slaughtered countless of innocent in the crusades, especially in the city of Antioch, the first victim on the road to Jerusalem.

Filthy Christian scum. The world would be a better place without those scum and those scum popes that encouraged and enticed the fanatical Christian followers of Christian Europe.

Simple way to solve this, is think for yourself.

You think the news is going to do it for you?

You'll get half the story.

Just like the stripper who chooses to do the job,

get busted for prostitution,

only to try feed her kid.

For crying out loud, we all want the same thing.

To support our family. Yeah, you may not like it. But, no one says you have to.

Even when you have no kids, the Almighty's frown upon it. Like woo pie dee do... I just went skinny dipping.

Bunch of righteous, two timing, debunking, hypocrites, is what I see.

Didn't the US started this all by bombing them, and then they couldn't efforted it anymore and wanted the NATO to take it from there.

The difference betweem islam and the other religions is the fact that islam imposes incredibly strict laws on its people, and that twisted set of laws causes most of the problems. There is no equivalent of sharia law in Christianity. At most there are some denominational or catholic rituals which are practiced half-heartedly by some of the believers. If you don't do them, maybe some people will stare at you in church. If you break sharia law, you will be killed. There is no equivalence. Only bitter, hateful atheists would try to tell that big of a lie, to pretend there is equivalence here.

I'll be hateful, who cares, with atheism, who cares, with Roman Catholics, who cares with Christianity, and who cares with Muslims.


Why should it be a problem for you?

That's the question you really have to answer. Why should it even matter to you?

Unless, you do care what others think, and have to uphold some sort of status in the community. That's the only way, I see someone caring.

So the whole point of this article was to point out that Muslims are the problem. Your above statement contradicts that... Seems Catholics blood thirst for killing infidels six days of the week made those Muslims crazeee.

When your child is dodging bullets and hellfire missiles you come to be with that bull#.

War is disgusting. You wouldn't know *snip* because you were never the victim.

These are "strict" undeniable "laws" that are imposed on them at young ages. There are few and far between that actually go against these "laws". We have no "laws" and abide by none. Wholeheartedly or otherwise, because we are ingrained with different cultures including those that we are trying to stand against.

They are not ingrained with "new" laws day to day, these are things that are taught.. always. Of course within any population there are those that appose. In good faith. But are not perceived as such in the main population.

Christians had/have strict laws, but no longer have the "hand" to control them. If they did, most people would have been slain, tortured, or maimed. These are facts.

Peace, NRE.

1. Afghanistan.
The Taliban offered to hand Bin Laden over if evidence was provided, but George W.Bush instead chose to bomb Afghanistan.

2. Iraq.
A war based on lies and deception of the American people (anybody remember the mobile chemical laboratories? WMDs? yellowcake uranium from Niger?) 1 million dead because of a few lies.

3. Pakistan.
Drone attacks on Pakistani villagers... because its so easy to kill at the push of a button, right?

4. Libya.
NATO bombards a country that was just minding its own business... just because it can.

5. Israel.
Western backed rogue state, with its state of the art military, brutalizes a weaker population while the world twiddles its thumbs.








I agree completely ... people please open up your eyes for once and see that the only reason you think that muslims are the agressor is because they dont own as much media
S&F for you Mr.OP

We aren't blood thirsty we are just willing to fight to protect what we believe. Some people refer to it as having a spine. Also, my kids wont ever dodge bullets or Missles odds are they will be just like me and welcome a challenge on the battle field. Not all of us are cowards some of still fight for what we believe in. I saw islam first hand strapping bombs to kids and having women strap bombs to themselves and then hearing a-- hats like you whine that we are war criminals when if you knew anything about the Geneva Convention and the ROC if you harbor or are in knowledge of unlawful combatants you yourself become one and no longer have protection under the Geneva Convention. Peace is great but nobody respects the guy without a gun.

i really don't understand why you don't get a free uniform with every ak-47 or grenade launcher.

i mean, really, how much could a gold star and crescent cost to put on a bright red set of blouse and trousers.


it would be an incentive to buy more guns.



common you guys get with the fashion, stand out in the crowd! i have some great face coverings i can sell you cheap!
