[size=5]Muslims United In Rage Against Pope[/size]

The 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference, based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, said it regretted "the Pope's quote and for the other falsifications". Militant Islamic websites also attacked the Pope. (was this written by The Onion..?)

And yet are strangely silent when

hideous atrocities are committed by Muslims in the the name of Allah.

Until they make the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference - or ANY other organization representing Islam - makes as much noise about the latter as they do about the former....until that time I will call BULLSHIT everytime anyone utters the phrase "Islam is a religion of peace...."

If the posts in this thread are a problem, I want every anti-American post on this entire website censured.
We get hated on and mocked 50 times a day here because of feelings people have towards one American man.

I know, I know, boo hoo, but there isn't a difference, and I don't hate Muslims because they're Muslims, I hate them because they're assholes hell bent on my destruction. I'm allowed to hate somebody for that.

Better take off all the anti-Christian Rants too. I guess that is not seen as being intolerant because Christianity is the "majority" faith.

Man...you bigots sure are a bunch of thin-skinned crybabies.:wave:

I am indeed wholly intolerant of these asswipes. If you don't like it, by all means lock, delete or censure this thread. Just make damned sure you apply the same filters equally. You'll be busy a while.

It's the same as blaming all christians for fundamentalists and KKK.
A LITTLE BIT of a generalization.

Well there ya go. I hope this isn't out of context.

Pope would just call Chuck Norris....game over....

My other post was humor, at least I thought some of it was funny.

I would poke the same fun at the KKK and any other group of people who teach racism, hatered, murder and terrorism.

And if you don't think that the Muslim religion teaches those things... you only read the first 1/2 of the Koran. If you read the 2nd 1/2, you'll know why they cut the head off a non-believer.

Speaking from experience, the muslims I know work very hard and look after their families very well. Far more so than the average british person. This is of course only from those muslims that I have worked with, lived on the same street as etc, I can't speak for the wider community around the world.

Your post was damn hilarious! And yeah, I guess I'll get grouped into the racist hate-mongers too because I'm white and well, that by default means I can't like other races, right? Right, I mean c'mon... :rolleyes:

But please Jazzy... Let's at least be consistent here, as has been pointed out numerous times...

I thought the question was about a religion, not a race? So what's being white got to do with it?

It doesn't have anything to do with it. People just like to throw the race card because it makes them feel like they've done their good deed for the day.

Free speech rules! No matter where it is practiced. To answer your question about who supplies them with flags, lighter fluid, matches, just look for the trailer behind the CNN truck. :eek:

No. The card was thrown PRIOR to my post. There's no turning back now. Religious discussions/taunting all go back to race anyhow.... It's just a front.

Where are you seeing anti-Christian rants? Please post a link to something you consider anti-Christian on this board, I'd really like to see an example.

Same goes for the purported anti-American posts claimed by C7.

I suspect you'll find there's just as much disagreement about those supposed "anti-Christian" and "anti-American" posts as there is about this thread, and at least some of the disagreement over whether they are truly as "anti-" as claimed comes from people who are both American and Christian.

Wow. Were you not here for the "do you actually believe in god?" mega thread from a week or two back?? Like there was just kind discussion there, like everywhere else on HCBF...

No, it really isn't. A specific picture shows the people in question. And article describes the exact people involved. The only *gasp...that word!* generalization is describing the people by their ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR......Muslims. They aren't ALL students, they arent ALL poor, or clerics, or storeowners. While each and every Muslim doesn't show up to a rally, it would seem that any person of reasonable intelligence could determine that on their own without being thrown totally off-kilter by a (here's that awful term....) generalization.

I'm pretty sure I am.
It's especially easy for me when it comes to religions, since I have none.

Nothing wrong with mocking a "community of people."

Unfortunately, that's not what happens here.

What happens is some here (C7, RSB and B-Bottom, namely) take their (sometimes quite appropriate) disgust for the actions of a few, and misapply it to an entire group of people.

THAT is a clear sign of pure ignorance and bigotry. That is the sign of someone who sees the world as black and white (memo: it isn't), of a simpleton who doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that not all 1.3 billion Muslims in this world think the exact same way.

Of course, what will they tell you? They'll tell you that all Muslims must all feel the same way because they haven't explicitly condemned the extremists' actions (e.g., guilty unless proven innocent). Sounds too much like 17th century Salem, or McCartheyism to me.

I dunno, maybe if C7, RSB, B-Bottom were happy with their jobs (lives), they might not hate so much. Just a thought.
