Scary stuff going down in India

[The Goat]

Seriously, when is there not some scary shit going down in India? Just a few years ago I read a piece recounting the number of murders there committed on the basis of the caste system (usually a person killed by his/her own family). How f'd is that?

Almost as effed as honor killings around the world perpetrated by muslims, oh sorry, are part of a culture, not a religion, and occur in Arab communities in the United States and many countries, according to this chick.':

An honor killing occurs when a male relative decides to take the life of a female relative because, in his opinion, she has dishonored her family’s reputation by engaging in an "immoral" act. An immoral act could be that she was simply seen with a strange man or that she slept with a man. In many cases, women are killed just because of rumors or unfounded suspicions.

If you're going to condemn the act by all means do so and I'm with you. It's abhorrent and evil, and should not be tolerated. Do us a favor though and get off that Muslims suck ark, m'kay. It wasn't too long ago the hooded White Knights of America a.k.a. KKK were lynching and hanging black men for simply looking at a white women all under the umbrellas of the cross.

I would agree that radical Islam is a big cause for terrorism but again to me that is all about education. Most Muslims don't really carry those beliefs and those that do are unfortunately brainwashed at a young age.

Kind of like what goes on at Jesus Camp, but they are taught to kill.

So you're saying that it was religiously motivated? They hanged them and shouted the christian equivalent of 'allah akbar'?

Your analogy is sadly inadequate. Did we see thousands in the streets celebrating a hanging? No, because rightfully most people were appalled. Contrast this to the reaction around the ME in predominantly muslim countries where they handed out candy and held parades when the towers went down.

Any religious group that sets themselves up as 'holier than thou' suck, but then I'm an Atheist, what would I know.

Here's a few very obvious resons why I am disgusted with the death cult of islam:

It is a muslims duty to fight until their opponents submit to islam (surah 9:29).

A muslim must not take a jew or a a christian for a friend (surah 5:51).

A muslim apostate must be killed (surah 9:12).

Resisting islam is punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of the hands and feet
(surah 5:33).

Done, thanks for discussing it.

Thread Hell?

That's actually very funny, I just don't think you really intended for it to be.

Rat, you had this same bias a couple of years ago during that thread you started about Al Qaeda (actually some loon in Milwaukee) looking to blow up NFL stadiums. Way to pick out poorly translated versions of the Koran, would you like that I do the same with the Bible?

It's amazing that you think not a single Muslim has ever contributed anything positive to society. Amazing and insulting, but whatever you're entitled to your ignorance I suppose.

I don't think he cares, he's athiest.

Angry is correct, if you'd like to do that with the bible I'd enjoy it, I'm an Atheist.

Where did I say that 'not a single muslim', etc? Next you'll be waving the 'racist' flag. And you have the nerve to call me ignorant....

:confused-

I should have been more specific, but I was recalling this post

Again, where am I saying 'Not a single muslim has ever contributed anything positive to society' I asked a serious question which was never answered.

Well, can you?

SS, I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm genuinely interested. It's a subject I've been reading about for decades, way before it was 'cool' and I'm still surprised at the amount of misinformation out there. Writings of Kamel Ataturk and Churchill triggered this enquiry, should you care.

I thought I made it clear I wasn't specific enough in my original post

And I'm not getting into this again with you (I believe we had a PM exchange over this a couple of years back) Any example I gave you dismissed, so let's just drop this and not respond to each other anymore on this. You're not going to change your opinion on this, and I'm not going to find any reason to respect it.

I do agree with you that I hope to see more out of Thomas and Kelly this weekend.
