There's nothing quite like doing something to offend others purely for the sake of offending them that proves how cool we are.

....I never offend Islam to prove "how cool" I am .....
..
... I offend Islam because it deserves offence, being the source of incalculabe human backwardness & misery .....
..
.... just as we stamped out apartheid in S.A., slavery and segregation in America, Communism in Eastern Europe,....we must all do what we can to end the evil of Islam .....

Anyone else uncomfortable with Germany placing bans on religious groups?
#19 | Posted by kanrei

....not when the "religious groups" are promoting hatred & violence .....
...
.... any group engaged in such activities should be exposed and outlawed .....
..
.... we can help with the exposing right here, and leave the outlawing to the law ....

Look up the Reichstag fire.
#21 | Posted by kanrei

..are you saying that the Reichstag Fire, 80 years ago, disqualifies the current German state from identifying and outlawing hate groups ? ....

Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it.

...the Germans have learned a great deal from their history....
..
... and outlawing a hate group which was planning on killing a political opponent is a good move ... you are barking up the wrong tree .....

They weren't "planning," they are accused of planning. Prove it first, then go after those that did. A faith is not to blame.
#26 | Posted by kanrei

...they have'nt been found guilty yet ?....fine, they are legally innocent for now ....
..
... but I take exception to your statement that "A faith is not to blame.".... Islam causes endless human suffering, and unless it is held to account for it's shortcomings, it will never be amended or abandoned ......

Then you basically support this because it goes with your personal bias, not fact, but personal hate. We have nothing more to discuss.

....me? ..hate?... I don't advocate hating anyone, and I don't advocate killing anyone who does not agree with me, or who stops believing in my beliefs ....
..
...now ....
..
... do you know anyone who does advocate killing people who disagree with them? or killing anyone who stops believing what they believe ?? ..... ( I'll give you a hint, it starts like Muslix but has a different ending).......
....
.... if we want to eliminate hate from the world, then Islam is a great place to start .... open your eyes, look around , see what it's doing to people .....

If you want to end "the evil of Islam", then prepare to get evil on them, for evil and violence exists in this world and it will never be "eradicated".

....I disagree ..... nothing eradicates religion like a good education .....
..
....and all it will take to end Islam will be the provision of a high level of universal education in the Islamic world ...
..
.... it's coming .....

Must be some other skizziks.
#34 | Posted by kanrei

...no...it was all me ....and I see no contradiction in anything there ....
...
...and Islam is still evil, and we must call it out on it's shortcomings, and we must promote education as the cure to this vile belief ......

#35 | Posted by skizziks

.....and "offending Islam" and hating Muslims are quite different things, the beliefs of the religion are abhorrent to progressive humanity, but we don't hate the ignorant practitioners, they were born to the belief and brainwashed from an early age .....
..
... again .... education is the key .....

It is always interesting when bigotry is so well woven into the fabric of self righteousness that someone cannot literally comprehend the utter hypocrisy of their POV when they call for the elimination of intolerance by means of intolerance.

....I am intolerant of ignorance, and ignorance fueled anti-human behavior .... [...]

Ever read the Bible or the Torah?

I don't defend them either, but there is a difference.
All religions are equally delusional, but they are not all equally harmful.

If your gonna paint Islam with a broadstroke, why not just paint life the same way? If we all weren't alive, there certainly would be no chance for evil to be done on this planet.

We have cancer research, because as the cancer cures pile up, we have a reduction in human suffering.
Religions are the same, they are a cancer on the human condition.
Some religions are more benign than others, some are very cruel and destructive.
Islam seems to be the worst of all religions, and the one that causes the greatest suffering in the world.
The lack of freedom for women, and the abuse they suffer under Islam, is monumental.
Each day another truckful of dead Shiites is removed from some street in Pakistan, because the Sunnis feel that their religion approves of them murdering unbelievers.
The list of crimes against humanity, done in the name of Islam, is without end.
That is why we must promote the entering of light, into those darkened minds, to make the human condition better.

The belief that Islam will disappear because of more education in the Islamic world is a fantasy. The public is much more educated in the U.S. today than in the 19th century. Do you see Christianity disappearing as a result? No.
....parts of the world where educational standards are higher than in the U.S. have seen a near disappearance of Christianity, so much so, that it is expected to disappear, except in a vestigal form, from many areas ..... here is a link:
Study: Religion Going Extinct in Most Western Countries

So, which translation is right???
#48 | Posted by kamakiri

.....there are hundreds of objectionable quotes in the Koran, stuff that would make any other book be designated hate literature ....
...
.... I only took one sample for Kanrai to show him how well Jews are regarded by that religion's teachings ....
...
.... don't get me started on the apes and pigs .....

Borders on blasphemy when you think about it.....

....don't suggest that, or they're going to have to go out and kill each other ......

....denial ....

I hold freedo[m] in high regard ...#55 | Posted by kanrei

....and defend a belief that opposes freedom of thought ....

It's not a meme, it's a fact. There are Christian extremists who think their God wants them to kill, too. But since we live in a predominantly Christian culture, we know better than to tar all Christianity with the actions of an extremely small fanatic minority.

You are missing the point.
It's not about what the believers believe, it's about what the religion says.
If a religion says that it is proper to kill people for religious reasons, then that religion must be condemned for it's contents.
