It's a peace loving religion, 'cept for the 5,000 women killed annually

Sayings of Ayatollah Khomeini:
A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However he should not penetrate, sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girls sister.
From Khomeini's book, "Tahrirolvasyleh", fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom,
Iran, 1990

 

Meanwhile, over on the Dakota Fanning to get raped on screen thread ....

[The implication here is that we're using the "people killed in the name of every religion"  excuse. So we're going to fault the inquisition and crusades for this? The Romans?  

Moderate Islam says they don't want this. Christians aren't suicide bombers. Hindus keep to themselves. Buddhists aren't calling for the end to Hinduism.

So I prefer to focus on Islam, the radical element that wants the destruction of Western society and all other religions and moderate Islam which needs to get control of their closest brethren....if they are the civilized people they proclaim to be.
Which still doesn't mean we're placing all the blame on Christians. But the point is, throughout history, virtually every religion has reputation for killing in the name of <insert diety name>. Portions of Islam might be in the crosshairs right now because what they're doing is still ongoing, but to pretend we can ignore history -- or indeed mention it as Hondo seems to suggest -- because it's not happening RIGHT NOW is insane.
What's insane is to not do anything about what's happening RIGHT NOW just because bad things happened in the past. When there are Crusades, pogroms, genocides and wars in the name of religion, it should have been stopped then. I wasn't there and neither was anyone else, so we can't undo history. What we can do is try to put a stop to this particular brand of madness and murder, or at least defend ourselves, or quit labeling people as racist just because we don't like the idea of other people flying planes into buildings or walking into Tel Aviv wedding receptions with bombs strapped on them.
Is it difficult to figure out who flies planes into buildings or bombs Tel Aviv weddings?

Help me here, because I'm not seeing any Chinese, Mexicans or Europeans doing this shit.  

Turn the other cheek. OK. We'll continue to frisk infant kids at the airport rather than anything looking like a Muslim.
It's late. I meant Arab.
First off, babble, you can give it up. We all know it's your racist ass using a different screen name.

Second, I love the fact that a couple of people keep using the phrase "people who fly airplanes into buildings." Like the shit's happening every damn day. It's happened once. You're gonna degrade an entire group of people for one terrorist act? God help the poor Christians then, what with those McVeigh, Nichols and Rudolph characters running around.

You know, this is the second time that Chuck Taylor has popped on one of these threads and offered a bit of insight into the Muslim religion. Each time, the usual group of jackasses who have spent the last several posts lumping all who practice that religion into a big pile and shitting on them say the same things: Oh, well, we're not talking about you. Nooooo. You're one of the good ones. Tell me that doesn't sound like some shit you would've heard in the South about 30 years ago, as a group of white men talked about all the blacks.

And I especially love babble's directive to Chuck, in which he tells him he should "speak" against his "brothers in the faith." (Please do this Chuck, since, you know, we couldn't possibly treat you like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING until you've stated publicly that you're not "one of the ragheads flying planes into buildings.")

You know, I read a lot of your posts, something about enjoying the feeling of nausea, but I'd rather be on my side than yours, and it's reaffirmed EVERY time you utter something. You have no direction, only to attack others.

Again, I really think you should relocate there. You seem so sympathetic, you'd be perfect. I could even see you burn an American flag. And kidnap any non-flaming liberal? You'd be at the center of the team. You'd found your own heaven.

I'll donate to your ticket.
Attack others? I thought I was sort of defending Chuck, not that he couldn't handle that on his own given who he's up against here.

What I did was take your ignorant, simple-minded view of a large group of people and called it what it is -- racist. If you don't like being described that way, I suggest you change, because the definition of racist isn't going to. And right now, you and a couple others here are making a strong run at being the racism poster boys.

And by the way, we do love macho posturing. Please keep it up. It's an excellent indication of the level of maturity and intellect we're dealing with. Through just 400 posts, you've managed to move yourself to just slightly above the level of the average chimp in both categories. At this rate, you'll reach pond scum in less than a 1,000 posts. Shoot for the stars.

Dog- enjoy the name calling........Are you seriously comparing domestic abuse in the US, to this: ? . Somehow I guessing that we don't fill our local parks with men awaiting the brutilization of women for sport. If I'm wrong send me the link. I'll wait.  Given, stonings were used since biblical times, but apparently Sharia law hasn't moved past that time period n that respect. So please, continue with the name calling-some day you'll own an origiinal thought

 

While you're waiting, see if you can figure out how to use the quote function.

 

So you're saying that all Muslims use little girls for sexual pleasure?

 

I'm saying I don't quite understand a "leader" whose quote above deems it ok to threat women like shit

 

Actually, I should have made that cultural elitist wannabes. Being journalists more or less keeps one out of the wealth level of most cultural elitists. My guess is they're part of the victim electorate the elitists and their candidates pander to.

 

I'm surprised. We've 15 pages of raging debate, name calling, some rare insight and no one has thought to post this rant from 25th Hour:

Fuck me? Fuck you! Fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores, stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos. Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermes scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fuel fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinsky, whining malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Riviera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fucking bitch. Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar sipping on club sodas, selling whisky to firemen, cheering the Bronx bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row-houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue, from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split-levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage, let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place.

 

Edward Norton -- most underrated actor alive.

 

I would tend to agree F_B.

 

Edward Norton is great but I'm not sure I'd consider him underrated. I think his talent is pretty generally recognized.
