Application of sharia law by country"

[Hypoxia]

There is a way out: Establish your own religion with your own rules.

I've started many religions and I carve new gods every morning for fun.

But I'm doing something wrong; I'm not rich yet. Guess I should get out more.

Nonsense.

This thread, as most of Hashtag's threads, are to present his POV, with an invitation for you and and a couple others to chime in and offer high fives.

Anyone who challenges something said, offers a counterpoint, or asks that Hashy expand and elaborate - join in the discussion, are called 'progressive', their position or question ignored (see this thread for latest example). Hashtag posts like Busybody and replies like Schmoop103 to people he doesn't agree with in the discussion.

Just look at Ogg's and Des' posts above as a perfect example.

After months of this (and several as Hssh345), folks don't give a shit. Ol' Hashy is seen as another Busybody on the boards, only seeking more and constant attention, and treated as such.

I have never engaged in this ascribed behavior towards individual posters.

If you have some specific example, please post it so that I can PM that person an apology.

David Koresh did just that and he was roasted by Bill Clinton and not in the ha-ha way...



But the truth is that iSlam gets a pass.

Please don't quote the fucknut.
I see that the sleaziest and dumbest stalker on Lit. (Emerson40) oh so conveniently changed his tune from disgusting graphic pics. and gifs., to being "outraged" about my "racism".

Log off and take care of our family, ya dumb piece of shit! (E40, of course)

Koresh never formed his own religion, he co-opted the Branch Davidian sect which had been around since 1935 after seducing their previous elderly "prophetess" before she died.

As for the "roasting" Cap'nDisingeuous, an investigation concluded that the cult members themselves set the fire that swept through the compound. A large concentration of bodies, weapons, and ammunition was found in the bunker. The Texas Rangers' arson investigator report assumes that many of the occupants were either denied escape from within or refused to leave until escape was not an option. It also mentions that the structural debris from the breaching operations on the west end of the building could have blocked a possible escape route through the tunnel system. An independent investigation by two experts from the University of Maryland's Department of Fire Protection Engineering concluded that the compound residents had sufficient time to escape the fire, if they had so desired.

So much for the "Clinton did it" line of horse manure you're trying to spread.

Odd that you would try to defend a child molesting psychopath David Koresh as a martyr of some sort.

I understand what you are saying; fully.

Of course it is against your law. But the West has abandoned more and custom.

Too illiterate. Too provincial. Too closed minded.

In the vacuum, Islam flourishes.

It provides that which has been rejected.

I wonder if the culture wars in Europe were over when you were born. Here, when I was born, Christianity predominated and defined the habits, prejudices, customs and mores of the nation; we had Blue laws, moral laws and expectations of what a good citizen was. When I was a child we pledged allegiance every morning, said the Lord's Prayer and sang America the Beautiful. It was what Americans did. It was not a conspiracy, it was simply Democracy at work.

But, of course, that chafed at the very heart of the deviant, the different, and especially the lesser intellectuals, so, they went to war on our culture. Were aspects of our culture somewhat exclusive? Yes. Were they evil, or pernicious? No. They were the glue that bound.

Now, that glue has been irrevocably dissolved. But people cannot, and will not, live in pure moral relativism, that goes against our very nature. Into this sense of missing a vital part of their lives, a new morality creeps in, is welcomed, cherished and fostered.

That which was defeated is now celebrated in new form. They get it. We do not.

You've articulated this POV, which almost half the country still holds pretty good.

What do you think the phrase "White Knight" means?

I don't think she's acquainted with Pete *snicker*

Progressive or racist hunter, duuh…

There's another type of White Knight on the GB, his name is Pete and he isn't political *chuckle*

St. Peter or Pete?
One's desperately still trying to get laid, the other one clearly had, and was about to be chased off the board by a couple of Blurt girls armed with frying pans.. *chuckle*

Poor Pete. Way to achieve notoriety, lol…

That's what happens when your a white knight in public but can't keep track of the Ho's your stringing along in private. His technique needs work, he caught all the shit and the Ho's got no blame.

I'm truly struggling to understand the moral equivalent you're trying to draw here.

No, it has nothing to do with the the subjects that YOUR organization, now discredited, It seems that REAL terrorism is having an effect, negative, on your cash flow.

Why don't you try to compete with CAIR for funding?

It seems to me this thread is more about fundamentalist brands of religion that believe God's law supplant man's law. (I live in a state where most legislators believe that and enact laws to unify them; I agree, people who believe that are truly scary.)

It's funny, though, that fundamentalist Islam is being singled out. Those Mormons I pointed out are just as controlling and just as eager to force their laws on society. So are ultraorthodox Jews.

You're absolutely right. Every religion or ideology have their extremists.

But this topic is currently on people's mind (the entire massmedia is flooded with news and articles on the topic of muslims in Europe).

And to make things even more confusing: there are subtle discrepancies between the pov of different publications (be they publications financed by the establishment of #countries, alternative media or so on), the comments sections and the pov of recent immigrants from Europe.

So I singled out This religion mainly because of this.
I believe that I and other posters would have no problem singling out unorthodox jews or other religions in the future, should they have a larger bearing on the current state of affairs in Europ. (or US for those who live there), or if they would make the news 24 hours out of 24.

Possibly because acts of terrorism by non-Muslims are less likely to be *labeled* terrorism by media. School and church and clinic bombings, school and office and theatre shootings -- these are attributed to kill-crazies, not terrorists, even if the perps' stated goal is to provoke terror and inflame hatred.

Just so, it's easier, more comfortable in a majority Judeo-Xian society, to report on scary madrassahs and sharia councils and the like, rather than the horrifying teachings and abuses of our more established neighbors. That might change if Muslim organizations and businesses became major advertisers.

1.You're so right - come to think of it, that explains a large part of the bias. And I'm also biased in that way a bit, unfortunately.


2.Adding to that :
Let's not forget that 9/11 and the 2008 crash were kindof turning points in history. Without exaggerating, one could say that the entire world has changed drastically after that.
- Re the 2008 crash:
the shift of most of the resources and power in the hands of just a few.
- As far as 9/11 is concerned:
it led to increased surveillance, some of the wars in the Middle East, ISL expansion, the massive displacement and migration of muslims, and so on.

So these topics (the 1% // Islam, peaceful muslims vs. radical muslims vs. ISL // and so on ) interest some of us. A lot.

But that's not because we're islamophobes or "racists".
- Because, among other things, these are a constant reminder of the chain of events (9/11 - bombing of Middle East - Isl and so on) that led to the fact that the world that we grew up in has ceased to exist.
- Some of us are still trying to make sense of the changes that we've experienced and to construct a coherent narrative that fits Our (Not other people's) worldview.
