religion of peace strikes again

[Nebor]

Good thing it has nothing to do with you and impacts your life in absolutely no way whatsoever. Why you vocalize such a harsh opinion of someone else's life choices at all is baffling.

Well, I did have to go through the trouble of "unfriending"

 

[Texashiker]

That's a load of hooey.

It's more bigotry painting them as the hordes/savages. Making you the savage.

Pay attention to the percentages and the examples of various countries.

LOL, I got a laugh out of that.

But do you deny the statics in the video?

Even though a very, very large number of Americans would love to shut down your 7-11 on Sunday and ban stripper bars, gambling, porn etc. You don't seem to worry about it too much.
If you can figure out why, then maybe you won't be so scared of Shaira coming to your neighborhood soon.

If there is one thing I do not like about Texas, its no liquor sales on sunday.

If I want to get plastered on sunday morning instead of going to church, then I should be able to do so. I pisses me off that the christian right has managed to get certain laws on sex, liquor, beer and wine passed in this state.

I also see that democracy is nothing more then mob rules. If a certain organization can sway the public, they can get just about any law they want passed.

Radical Christians and Muslims have certain shared goals, such as limiting the sale of beer, wine and liquor. I would hate to see what would happen if both groups teamed up to get laws passed.

There needs to come a point when we can tell the religious groups that they can not force their will on the public.

Highest percent of minimum wage employment, a fetish for execution, highest percent without healthcare, electing some of the worst 'leaders', areas of racism, etc.

I have to agree.

The biggest negative is no liquor sold on Sunday.

 

[Nebor]

Wow, it seems like everyone can agree on that. It was certainly my biggest complaint as a Texas resident, whacked out alcohol laws.

I have to admit, I thought Craig might care about more progressive issues, like the fact that only the rich are allowed to carry guns in Texas.

 

[Texashiker]

Highest percent of minimum wage employment, highest percent without healthcare,

I imagine a lot of that has to do with illegal immigrants. While other states are trying to get illegals out, Texas keeps the flood gates open.

areas of racism,

I visited the grave of James Byrd jr. a few weeks ago and paid my respects.

The biggest negative is no liquor sold on Sunday.

Helps me forget about all the other bad stuff.

 

[Orignal Earl]

Or a lot of white high school graduates who think they are geniuses and only deserve the best.

This made me laugh so hard xD

There is not much that can beat 8 minutes of xenophobic propaganda on a Monday evening. There is no scientific approach, this is just ignorance bullshit written by idiots for idiots.

We have these morons in Sweden too (where Islam apparently is a major problem and now they (those damn dirty Muslims) try to take over), they are looked down upon for being the ignorant bigots they are. Living in a civilized intellectual country is great. Oh wait, the Muslims are coming. Back to the Dark Ages for us, now featured by Sharia law!

Protip: Peace occurs despite Religion, not because of it.

 

[FerrelGeek]

That comment could apply to any other state as well. Not unique to TX.

Could you explain what parts you disagree with?

There are quite a few examples of countries that would have fit into the groups described in the video that, for some reason, do not show up, thereby invalidating the rule that countries with x% in muslim population will experience this and that; At least until the author of the video includes those countries too and comments on their social situation as well.

Wikipedia also does not agree with the percentages shown in the video, but it's biggest ilk is that there are no sources available for it's claims.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some pussy hippie denier of savage muslim violence, or that some muslim imigrants are trying to push for sharia law in their current countries of residence, which is totally unacceptable, but I just feel that all this commotion about being conquered by muslims is a bit exaggerated.

I think we should acknowledge a difference between absolutes and averages.

I see the video as a statement of averages, and not a blanket statement of absolutes. Leaving certain countries out does not invalidate the video, it just means that its can not be used as a blanket statement of 100%.

Also, how many countries were not listed, and do they really need to be listed? Does some little country in Africa need to be listed when your talking about countries like France, Egypt, Spain, US, Iran, Iraq,,,,,?

 

[Macamus Prime]

Of course the generalization of Islam goes unaddressed.

The lumping of Islam and Islamic fundamentalism goes unacknowledged. I would say it has become natural, but some of you good old boys felt this way from day one.

Meanwhile, I make fun of and mock racist Southern whites and everyone starts screaming how their vagina has been violated.

No one even pays any attention to you. I can't even hear you over the fart blasts coming out of my rich overlord's anus as I feed on his excrement. Nom nom nom.

Every religion can be used to make people do awful things.

So what? With your attitude, we should fear water and mercury equally since it's possible to be poisoned by water.

Try to calm down and think about this topic rationally. Sounds like you're pretty upset and as such you're not really capable of having a meaningful discussion about anything.

The truth of the matter at this time in history it`s the Muslim......

You can point out the past...ie Catholics...etc....but that doesn`t take away from or make it easier to understand that in every situation where they have reached critical mass the results are not very good....ie .....once the innate craziness kicks in things will get totally ugly....

but but but Jews and escpecially Christians are just as bad if not worse!!!!!!
