All of you PC Islam defenders are nothing but a bunch of bigot misogynists and homophobes. You are defending a religion which advocates (and enforces) stoning women to death, stoning old women to death just for having an unrelated male deliver her bread, beating up women for every reason, beating up women for being raped through no fault of their own, honour killings, the killing of all Jews and any other "infidel" or any who speaks against Islam, the killing of gays, etc etc. Yeah, those poor, oppressed Muslims.

You're hypocrites, all of you, cowards and hypocrites.

Feel free to call me a racist (Islam is not a race BTW) a bigot or whatever you want to call me, I'll just laugh at you and carry on. It's not about race, it's about Religion (FYI I despise, but respect, ANY religion (as long as they're not trying to kill me) so good luck with calling me a bigot).
They want to turn Western society into one of their shitholes by taking our freedom and removing our rights. Are you so keen on giving away your FREEDOM and your HUMAN RIGHTS? Open your eyes you fools.

OT: I'm glad Switzerland has the balls to tell them to f*ck off. If only the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, etc would do the same. Those future Islamic Republics of Europe are so delusional with a false sense of tolerance, multiculturalism and PC that they fail to realize what is really happening. Until the people rebel of course.

All religions are evil and crazy. Period. None are the exception to this. Not even yours. To conveniently ignore the craziness and depravity in the Bible just smacks of religious warfare.

Unsurprisingly, you missed the key points. Let me lay them out clear for you.
1. Grouping people based on the actions of a few, be it race OR religion, is stupid.
2. The moderate protesting against the radical did not stop the Westboro Baptist Church did it? Now try to connect this with radicalism, do you think the mainstream Muslims protesting against radical Islam will do anything? Think hard for a minute on this one.

Well... Race and Religion are totally different things. Religion is a choice to follow a set of beliefs, Race you can't change.

I guess I have to keep repeating it. The majority of Muslims are in poor countries with little freedom or education... most were the victims of british empire building, and in the last 50 years... since then they have had their dictators propped up by the US and kept poor, ignorant, and hateful by these same dictators.

You are so clueless about how colonies were ruled before the British came in. You talk as if these poor people were ruled by benign, enlightened kings and queens whose sole aim in life was to take care of the people and they lived in a kind of paradise before everything was spoiled by the white man.

In most cases, the reason why the British were able to so quickly colonize so much of the world was because they were the latest set of interlopers amongst the myriads who overran the land. The common man couldn't care less because he knew he would be screwed one way or another with back-breaking taxes and scant regard for his rights. And most Muslim countries of today are colonial constructs given their shape for administrative purposes rather than any ethnic allegiance. A number of them are held together by force rather than nationality.

Don't pass off postulates based on your intellectual laziness as fact.

You can choose Religion, but the fact of the matter is that the vast majority simply take the Religion of their Parents. They are not "totally" different.

Why did you leave out this line in your quote:

"It's not about race, it's about Religion (FYI I despise, but respect, ANY religion (as long as they're not trying to kill me) so good luck with calling me a bigot)."

People who think rationally realize that arguing with nuts of any religious persuasion is an intellectual dead-end, so they don't want to waste time. But when the same people figure out that the things they hold dear are threatened by the latter's actions, including life, they will start calling a spade a spade. Right now, the biggest threat to the world are Muslim nutcases, which is why they are drawing so much attention. Tomorrow, if it is Christians or Jews or Hindus who fly planes into buildings and blow up trains, you can bet that they will also come under the microscope.

Your post is another case of hubris without facts.

May I ask how many Muslims have tried to kill you so far? Also, how many muslims do you actually know (ie talked to, conversed with)?

WTF are you smoking? European countries actively fight multiculturalism.

Also, tolerance is not necessarily a positive thing. Acceptance goes beyond tolerance. Tolerance in Europe means that you hate the people, but let them exist. You tolerate their existence. They don't accept them. There is a big difference.

You talk a lot, but say so little.

Religions in general are the biggest threat. In fact, the insane Christians in the US are much much bigger threat to the happiness in my life than the muslims you fear.

No it is totally different. It's a set of beliefs and we are free minded creatures for the most part. You can't change skin color you can change what or how you believe. They are two totally different things and should not be compared. How many things were you taught when you were a child that you don't believe in anymore? I bet it's quite a few.

Those who oppose you in your opinion speak with hollow words....

So tell us oh wise one just how religions in general are the biggest threat???
Insane Christians are NOT strapping bombs to their children and blowing up others....

I doubt anybody fears the muslims....
What we need to do though is make sure that the don`t take over our way of life due to our apathy......
For somebody like you who seems to Love the muslim way...may I point out that as long as muslims who truly paractice their religion refuse to stand against those who are extreme, there will be no LOve in general for those people.

What makes our nation so tolerant is that for all the "insane" Christians running around there are those who are not afraid to stand up to those who are as you called them -- INSANE!!

Our nation isn't so tolerant.. look at this thread for example.. we are far behind European nations for tolerance.. gay marriage anyone?

Christians have strapped bombs.. or did you forget Oklahoma?

The reason there are less of them I have already explained multiple times. Feel free to look it up... or continue to drool fear and hatred ...

As for me loving "the muslim way"... I guess if you don't drool fear and hatred, you must love them? This is the "us vs them" argument. In reality I think anyone who believes in any religion is absolutely insane and dangerous.

As you posted you are an Israeli Jew, so I am wondering what you think about this http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1259831455845&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull

Especially this part
The American Jewish Committee's David Harris echoed these statements. "The referendum result amounts to an attack on the fundamental values of mutual respect," he said.

"While there are certainly understandable concerns in Europe over Islamist extremism, these cannot be legitimately addressed through a blanket assault on Muslim communities and their religious symbols," he added.

We aren't acting the same.

One world is trying to get up in the morning and go to work.

The other world is facing east, and praying for death to infidels.

See the difference?

Why do you think "Islamic terrorism" is so captivating to people in the West? Most people's education about Islam comes from hysterical OP-ED pieces and "news" reports and crappy TV shows like "24". It's hard to get worked up into a lather over white Christian guys doing bad stuff, because while THEY might be bad guys, nobody is stupid enough to think that all white Christians are crazed lunatics. But Muslims? They make GREAT generic bad guys because the average American (or westerner in general) knows almost nothing about Islam, and probably doesn't personally know a single Muslim. It's easy for idiots to believe that every Muslim out there wants to kill them and destroy freedom, since they have no actual knowledge to go on. Add that mix the fact that religion has long been a great divider between people, and you've got yourself a GREAT boogey-man.

Terrorism has a long and rich history of crazy fanatics doing things for a large variety of reasons. Ever wonder why the ones who have captured our attention are the people who don't share our religion and come from places we don't know anything about?
