Saturday, December 25, 2010 5:20:00 PM I have be privately told that mocking Muhhamed is a death sentence. I say this: if he is a decent being, he would laugh and admonish those that in his name kill those that make light of him! If he exists, then let his will show himself, not the ignorant followers who errantly kill in his name. I laugh, if I die over this comment, I guess M is not a decent being!

Friday, December 24, 2010 12:15:24 PM In fact, why is Mohammud so thin skinned that he can't appreciate a dutch cartoon of him? I mean if a diety or prophet of a deity can't take a joke, then what does that say of the followers of such a douche? |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 8:39:30 PM Now that it's slipped to page 2: I'm glad IAB put up something even a TINY BIT poking fun at Islam. It's a start! However, nice knowing you @fancylad! Your butt will be jihad-bait in 3...2...1... |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 7:43:26 AM "But I've never seen a Muslims Peace rally. Why don't these many millions take to the streets in protest?" You're kidding, right? This took me like 2 seconds to google: Muslim Peace Rally Attracts Thousands Hundreds Join Muslim Peace Rally Somali, Muslim Communities Hold Peace Rally Took me less time than that to notice they were all in the US or Britain. Find one in the mideast or STFU. |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 6:27:51 AM Billy62, well technically I said if the 10,000 HERE had a peace rally... but your examples are close enough. As promised, they had a peace rally so I will hold out hope that we could one day get along. Admitedly, it's still a very small hope while the islamic governments still harbor and fund terrorists...but it's a start. |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 5:42:50 AM Anyhow, don't North Koreans and South Koreans have the same religious beliefs? Or can we count 'communism' as a religion? I know! Lets blame the Mennonites (my people) for everything! They're peaceful, hard working and give to charity a LOT! Curses on them, it's all their fault! Lolz! |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 3:55:19 AM @MattPrince: Except hanging it on 'God' can absolve you of any personal consequence in your own mind and allows the religious to disassociate themselves from the acts they commit. Hence 'It is Gods will' |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 3:25:03 AM Its in our nature to form cliques and clades and to war with other tribes. Religion is just the most obvious way of discriminating ourselves and hating on the 'other'. Its not religion that is the root of the problem - its our own nature. Bummer eh? |

Thursday, December 23, 2010 12:26:55 AM that a constant remains, believing in a creator leads to discrimination and an outright constant state of war. So in today's world all religions are to blame? Equally?

Thursday, December 23, 2010 12:17:33 AM Lets face it, belief in any God gives anyone with an axe to grind, a psychosis to develop, a prejudice to promote or a score to settle the excuse to do anything they want outside the bounds of rational human behaviour. You know that leap of faith you need to actually believe in God? That's one step away from the leap of faith to believe that it's gods will to hate, abuse, maim, and kill. 'It's God's will' the three scariest words you can hear. |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 8:37:08 PM I admit, my post was a little quick at the trigger. But my point being that religion is still at the heart of the terrorist activities, being muslim, protestant, catholic, flying spaghetti monsterists: that a constant remains, believing in a creator leads to discrimination and an outright constant state of war. |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 8:22:49 PM "Haha, google IRA peace rally and you'll get similar results." I have no idea what you're talking about. Every result from your IRA search was about peaceful Northern Irish people protesting against the IRA's actions. None were in support of the IRA. |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:59:08 PM I have seen Gays for Republicans, Jews for Jesus, and even Black people who like Country Music. But I've never seen a Muslims Peace rally. Why don't these many millions take to the streets in protest? Why don't all the "peaceful" muslim countries condemn the terrorists instead of funding them? Stop being so politicically sensitive that you blind yourself to actual facts. The only muslims I see are screaming for our deaths and libretards want to coddle them. When I see the 10,000 local muslims living in San Diego form a Peace March then I'll believe there is hope for living with them. |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:36:01 PM So Siyanor, You're saying that Muslims believe that religion is only true in the human mind, that it is a figment of our (human) imagination. So if you believe it, it is real... C'mon wake up! |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:06:06 PM Gerry, I've seen tons of them. Three fourths of them are outwardly indignant, and the other one fourth are embarrassed or afraid to call themselves Muslim in public because they disagree with the terrorists. You aren't seeing them likely because you don't live in a region with a large Muslim minority (which I do) or a Muslim majority. LtFurpie, one belief of Islam is that every religion is true for the one who truly believes in it. (Though what they don't say is that they believe it's only possible to truly believe in the truth; that is, their truth.) |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 6:05:35 PM @TheTrees replied: The terrorists are like one every 100,000. handys003 responded: Then out of the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. According to your stat that would be 18,000 terrorists. Thats almost two military divisions. Quite a bit don't you think? |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 5:53:45 PM @TheTrees, what you say is technically true. The numbers are there to back your statement up. But let's get real. Islam is the basis of their terrorist acts. The whole idea of "believe as I do or die" is getting pretty old (IMHO). And you're right, other religions are to blame as well. But let's take a step back and ask What all religions are in agreement of, that their way is the "only" way to "salvation". The one commonality is that to believe in religion is to say that your way of life is the only one way to live, ergo, at the root of religion, is generation after generation of learned discrimination. |

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 5:51:52 PM The terrorists are like one every 100,000. I've heard that before. That the vast majority of muslims are peace loving, normal people. WHERE ARE THEY? Why does this "Majority" remain completely silent and let the terrorists represent them? Why do they not cry out in rage at the mis-use of their faith? Where is their indignation at the murders commited in the name of their "peacefull" God and their "peacefull" Prophet? It seems by their silence that they approve. It appreas that they are not offended by the actions of terrorists "mis-using" their faith. Until this "MAJORITY" steps up to the plate and slaps their bad-boy brethren down I don't believe they exist. |
