"Everyone does it" is not really much of a defense, is it? :/

I mean, we are talking about tying their bloodied bodies to a stick for days until they die, being against that is not "being picky", it's common sense, c'mon :/

I don't know, I don't think I'm being at all unreasonable here.

All I'm saying is pretty much all religions have the potential to be used as an excuse for violence and many have had great atrocities committed in their names at various times throughout history.

I believe anyone regardless of their religion, race, or creed who intentionally harms or inflicts suffering on another person is a complete and utter piece of shit and deserves whatever hell is coming their way.

That being said there is a huge chunk of the population who seem to think Muslim=Terrorist and they keep throwing up quotes from the Koran while ignoring the fact that the Old Testament has some pretty dark shit in it as well.

Well because the old testament was before Jesus died for your sins, and those laws weren't part of Christianity, or so they say....

Anything between a quarter to a third of French muslims basically would betray their nation. What a colossal FUBAR.

Let's assume karma is real and that Algerians "outbreeding" the Frenchies 2.5:1 is the outcome of the French occupation of Algeria leading to more than a million deaths, where is the payback for the extermination of the aboriginals in NA and Australia? :lol:

Let's keep in mind that we practice tolerance on these boards, and whether or not we have any practicing Muslims among our members, we should not bad-mouth any particular group of people, and not hold the actions of miscreants against an entire religion.

I agree with this, but at the same don't see any point in further military intervention in the mideast, and that muslims themselves must reach a consensus how to coexist with the rest of the world. People in places like Malaysia and Indonesia who are muslims in their own regions with their own set of codes of tolerance and local problems and histories etc can't be equated with others living in hotspots like Syria and Iraq which breed and attract extremists as reactionary and proactive byproducts of strife.

If the current world order of globalisation manages to survive for the next several decades I guesstimate the mideast crisis and its ramifications in Europe will be the core focus of future unrest.
