have fun trying to prove black is really white

Recommended Posts

not a proof at all, just that woman's opinion.

I understand (but do not agree) with that woman's point of view, but it is clear that her ideas are simply not useful.

What practical result can come from just turning to all Muslims & saying, "Well, your religion is fucked up, that's all there is to it."

Since Muslims are not going to just stop being Muslims, it really isn't a useful idea to pursue from a pragmatic perspective.

So you have watched this, and you believe what the commentator (the woman on the left) is saying?


yes on both counts, but that is the physical left and not the political left, although it was a very perceptive observation. Enough for a chuckle.

The proof is that this woman is obviously Arabic and of the same race as the men disagreeing with her. So she is not violent just because of her race. The point is that there are many like her but they are helpless with all the Islamic fanatics that run their countries. In other threads we have established that ever since this religion came about, blood shed has followed it.

Ofcourse it is, that would be like saying what use is it trying to convince KKK members that they are wrong they are not going to change after all.

I believe people can change for the better. After all the Soviet Union fell. I think Islam can too.

Her very first line: "The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions."

When using a source to buttress a claim you have, it is best to first make sure that the source is not saying the opposite of what you claim.

She is just trying to be able to talk there, without being torched. In case you didn't notice it, she went on to bash everything that Muslims are doing.

Damn, I wanted to hear that guys come back to that one! :D



I think a comeback would be simple.

Just mention the hundreds of times Christians burned down homes.
Remind her of how the Israelis got respect. Last I remember it was with brut force and a lot of help from the United States. I can’t recall the last time someone of a Jewish fait suicide bombed inocent people, but it is very easy to find many times where they have killed inocent people by rockets and bombs for there plans. There is also the incident where a Jewish man walked into a holy Muslim site where many were prying and gunned down 24 people. That lead to the first suicide bomb that was used inside Israeli.

When you speak about scientific advances, lets not forget that Baghdad Muslim Baghdad was the center of scientific advances, and Islam was the ONLY religion that embraced science. We didn’t kill our scientist and call them anti-Christ’s.

I understand that it has become fashionable to look down on Muslims, but read a bit of history so you don’t believe all that you hear.

I think perhaps you might want to re-watch that segment. That conclusion seems like listening to an MLK speech and concluding "See? He says blacks are lazy."

Did Christianity fall after the Crusades? Or did Christians just learn to not be as violent?


Yeah but Christianity has always had a lot of good to it as well. Although now that you mention it. I do believe there was something divine about Jesus. But I definately don't believe in everything that is written in the bible, or any specific religion. Religion is something that was created to control the masses through the fear of god and therefore, I do see it as an improvement for the world if all religion went away. None the less we need to worry about the heart attack condition before the itch. The heart attack being Islam, and the itch being Christianity or Judiasm.

That's definitely true! Often people concentrate on the bad and overlook the good.

No, the "heart attack condition" is terrorism. I work with several muslims; none of them have ever tried to mug me or steal from me. 99% of the muslims in the world are as peaceful as the 99% of christians that she's talking about in that piece you just watched - and she makes that point. It is not a clash of religions. It is a clash between two opposites; people who are willing to work through their problems peacefully and people who use violence. Those people are the problem.

I work and went to college with many Muslims as well. Just because none of them ever tried to mug me does not by any means, mean that Muslims and Christians are the same. She does make the point on how they are different. You chose to ignore that part. Frankly not a big surprise there.

Yes and those people who are using the violent means are following their guide book on how and why do so, the Kuran.

Of course they are not the same. No two people are the same. The important thing to realize is that their religion is NOT the issue; their actions are.

> She does make the point on how they are different.

Actually she comes out and says that this is NOT a conflict of religions. You may disagree, but that's what she says. (Perhaps, if that really is the core of your argument, you might find a champion of it that does not claim the opposite.)

That's Koran. And yes, they misuse the Koran just as people misused the Bible during the Crusades, and just as they misuse the Bible today to justify killing doctors and gays.

No, and no. Remember the Inquisition.

-------------------------------------------
And the accuracy or lack there of in that statement brings us back to the same arguement that does not need to be repeated as its fruitless. I would say that you will continue to believe as you do, but frankly I think you are too smart to honestly believe the arguements you put foward, so that is all the more reason to not further this disscussion.

Over the last 20 years, anti-abortion terrorists have been responsible for six murders and 15 attempted murders (see Lake of Fire), according to the National Abortion Federation. They have also been behind some 200 bombings and arsons, 72 attempted arsons, 750 death and bomb threats and hundreds of acts of vandalism, intimidation, stalking and burglary.
from http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=411

When was the last abortion bombing or doctor murder comitted by crazy Christians?

I know it's a side-track, but we can only wish that those people misusing the Koran were as violent and prevalent as the Christians you guys claim are running around being wild-eyed terrorists. The world would be a much safer place, wouldn't it?

Not really a good comparison to make your point, but that's just my opinion. You could do better.
Oh, hello again!
