Europeans have left something of value to the world during their pillaging - such as Technology. Computers, Flight, Space flight, Electricity, Cars, Air conditioning, Modern Medicine etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. What has Islam left in its wake ? Poor populations who force their women to wear bags over their bodies. Populations who think all they need to learn is the Quran. Period. Considering that type of culture, is it any wonder progress has been so stifled in Islamic countries ? It really is the religion and the culture holding it back.
to which norseamd said "Such ignorance.".
I'd like him to expound exactly on where peonyu was wrong.
Muslims claim to be about 1/4 of the world's population, so I should expect they are well represented in some of the past century's great inventions, right? Except they aren't.
Many muslim countries treat their non-muslim inhabitants in ways reminiscent of how blacks were treated in the US a century ago. Thus it's to be expected that some of these values they have won't be shed when they step over the border into their new country.
I mean when western nations are destroying a state like Lybia and getting it to be ruled by extremists, who is influencing who.??.
What about the destruction of the Iraqi state, although highly corrupted, who did influence who when talking of the way peoples are living and how they get to live such lifes.?
In short muslims have about no influence in respect of the western world but the contrary is not true...
If you want my opinion on the Iraq war I think that Bush and his administration should have faced criminal prosecution for getting the US embroiled in it.
While the European far right points to Islamic terrorism to exclude and malign all Muslims,
the European left responds by refusing to recognize how fundamental a challenge Islamic terrorism represents
(or that it is inspired by Islam at all).
Haven't read that article yet but
hell yes. What I just quoted says it better than I could. People like original earl seem to think there is no influencing factor behind Islam and terrorism, despite the huge bulk of terrorists being obviously influenced by it. Maybe he once knew a nice muslim and so incorrectly associates all muslims' behavior to his friend's. A muslim on NPR said 95% of the victims of terrorism in the world are Muslim. Hmm, I wonder why. Could it be because there's something uniquely sick in the religion to foster violence? NPR also said that France already has had spies in mosques to keep an eye on crazy fantatic talk. Hmm, I wonder why. Could it be because there's something uniquely sick in the religion to foster violence?
And of course polar opposite, many muslims speak out against this stuff and genuinely believe it is contrary to islam, so cannot all be painted as terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.
The amount of hatred spewed by people is slowly coming out.
I have seen articles about technology with a top rated comment about how a safety problem in a GM vehicle is Obama's fault. People are fucking insane.
This is obviously a religion problem, not just an Islam problem.
Obviously it isn't. When we start seeing car bombings and multiple terrorist events by people doing it in the name of Budha or Jesus, then please get back to me. Until then most of these terrorists are screaming allah snackbar and then slaughtering.
