Not all of them demand blind obedience to a jealous god, nor encourage the population to remain in the dark ages.
The abrahamic religions do that though

Not all of them demand blind obedience to a jealous god, nor encourage the population to remain in the dark ages.
To me, that statement just reflects a lack of understanding of many of the world's belief systems. Not all of them demand blind obedience to a jealous god, nor encourage the population to remain in the dark ages. Buddhism for example has a rich canon of psychological texts that is as relevant today (and indeed used by some professionals) as it was 2,500 years ago. You can't tar the entirety of man's belief systems with the same brush.
What for?
There are no laws being broken, he is using his first amendment rights.
I can't what the fuss is all about.
For his own protection or what's that term for taking action before someone does something that will incite others? He's trolling on a worldwide scale that will no doubt have a negative effect on many peoples lives, he's a moron.
OK, when does the world get upset to this scale when bibles are burnt? Actually we don't even hear about the bibles being burnt, even though it happens.
^^
Agreed!
Yet another example of everyone having to bend over backwards to appease Islam... Christ, even the US president now has to get involved... Why? Because lots of peaceful/tolerant Muslims are threatening to not be peaceful/tolerant...
Yes, the action is itself is utterly daft, but the outcome - once again - is seemingly basically everyone in the world having to run around in circle trying to keep a Islam from throwing a tantrum?
Because lots of peaceful/tolerant Muslims are threatening to not be peaceful/tolerant...
we should be able to feel free to burn the koran after Muslims already burnt the Satanic Verses, and tried to have the author killed.
Poverty, Education, access to Medical care and so on. People of whatever faith or creed who are comfortable, have food, money, education and employment do not become terrorists, or indeed feel the need to support those individuals who would use their beliefs for their own political end.
i see you're carrying on from where i last saw you![]()
Christians are generally tolerable & muslims are generally not simple as that.
showing the world that Islam is all about anger and hate
On the contrary, Religion lends itself to Human Nature extremely well, and therein lie the problem.
Nice of them to show what followers of their religion, oops, I mean, death cult are actually like
Peaceful and tolerant are two words that are the complete opposite to what the koran teaches anyway.
In the name of tolerance, we should be able to feel free to burn the koran after Muslims already burnt the Satanic Verses, and tried to have the author killed.
Who can blame you bhavv from making such statements as I believe you come from hindu background. Maybe we should also have a thread on hindu antagonism towards islam.
Read your translation and now read mine. Yes some are different, but why pick out the bad bits only? It's not random, there's more to it. If you read all of the translations, it's balanced.
EDIT: Zynoist Jews killing the innocent Philistines (Palestinians), just because they won't leave Jerusalem were Masjid Al-Aqsa is. But no-one calls them terrorists? I think people are so against Islam because they're scared. They're scared that it is the right religion. No-one mentions other terrorists groups, or relates any other religions to them. Look at the Tamil Tigers, they're mostly hindu. IRA are probably made up of Christians, prositents or Catholics?
EDIT 2: Unbelievers further on in the Qur'an also result to Muslims who are Hypocrites. They say they don't do things against Islam, but then do them. Like I said, it's balanced.
To Balance out more.
Speaking common sense then?
Let's get this matter straight:-
1) Half a dozen idiots burning a couple of dozen books in some quiet little suburb of the US.
2) Seemingly thousands of Islamic individuals, and indeed national heads, running around having a hissy fit about (1) And the concern of lives being lost over (1).
If we put (1) and (2) on our 'moronic scales', one side is clearly a lot heavier IMHO...
Now, imagine if (1) had just been completely ignored by Islam... As you'd expect tolerant religious folks to be able to do... Wouldn't that have made more sense?
No, it's not. There are plenty of intolerant Christians and plenty of tolerant Muslims. And it's not like there aren't acts of Christian extremism, like the bombing of abortion clinics and the head of the Catholic church telling HIV ridden Africa that condoms aren't the way to deal with the disease:Christians are generally tolerable & muslims are generally not simple as that.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7947460.stmBBC News said:Pope Benedict said on the eve of his trip that he wanted to wrap his arms around the entire continent, with "its painful wounds, its enormous potential and hopes".
HIV/Aids was, he argued, "a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem".
The solution lay, he said, in a "spiritual and human awakening" and "friendship for those who suffer".
so what do you expect obama to do ? ignore it knowing American soldiers will be more at risk because of this 1 idiot.
ignored by islam ???? islam is not a person, even if you meant muslims it wouldn't make sense as this isn't the borg.
they are individuals, some will get offended and others will think who cares.
some extremists will use it as a tool to brainwash others into doing terrorist attacks......but hey who cares for lives lost aslong as the hate towards muslims grows.
