BUMP
Talk about an oxymoron!!
Violence is in their scriptures! To be non-violent is to be non-moslem.
Their own clerics say so!!
"Can not that point be made in a way that doesn't blaspheme the religion?"
Buddy, you are a sap. Where have you been the last three years? Do you even know that we have a world war on our hands, and it is against radical (read: faithful to the bloodthirsty Koran) Islam?
Blaspheme their religion, huh? Would it blaspheme their religion if I pointed out that their great prophet Mohammad was a vicious, looney child molestor? Would I deserve to be shot and stabbed to death because I express my honest opinion that Allah can go suck goat b***s before I'll ever bow down to him?
Listen, the creep who murdered Van Gogh in cold blood and pinned a page of that hateful "holy book" to his body should fry like the pig he is. There was NO justification or excuse for the murder. The ghost of Van Gogh, like that of Pim Fortyn before him, cries out for justice against the lunatic leftist/Islamo-Fascist cabal who are threatening to turn the Netherlands into the next Kosovo.
"The sentence you quote from my posting was my recognition that Van Gogh had made those films that assaulted the faith of the Jews and Christians. The man was a professional bear-baiter. This time the bear got him. I guess my point is that Van Gogh was a pig, a wastrel"
Your opinion, and you're entitled to it. However, your postings still smack of moral relativism, like you are trying to say that Van Gogh somehow brought this atrocity upon himself through his vocal distaste for religion. Bulls**t. I'm a Christian, and I don't care who's God he offends (even Jesus, who can stick up for Himself without your input), there is NO WAY that Van Gogh was comparable to his murderer. Religious fanaticism--defined here as killing in the name of a God or gods--is intolerable nomatter what the stripe.
Oh, and if your post really "wasn't about Islamofascism", then you obviously haven't read the motive of his killer.
Van Gogh's murderer was a pig fascist and an Islamic extremist, so it is fair for me to point out that his murder DID NOT occur in a vacuum. Rather, Van Gogh was another direct victim of the worldwide war we find ourselves thrust into against the forces of radical Islam.
Again, I'll recommend a remedial reading course for you. Your reading of my post is so far off that I am tempted to think that English is your second language. And, please, don't try to tell me what my posts are about. You have made two attempts and have failed both times.
"Nonsense:"NO WAY that Van Gogh was comparable to his murderer.."
Wait. So I'M the one who needs to read YOUR posts more carefully? If anybody can figure out what you are trying to say here, then I'll give them a prize.
Nonsense...as in "That's nonsense, nowhere did I suggest that Van Gogh and his Islamist murderer were comparable" or nonsense as in "your point is nonsense because Van Gogh was comparable to his killer"?
I'll let you answer the question, but don't try to deflect from the fact that you are the only poster on this thread who has (TWICE!) attacked the victim for no other reason than that you disagreed with his films.
You're talking to yourself now.
"You're talking to yourself now."
Now there's an intelligent, factual argument in support of your beliefs. You've bowled me over with your superb debate skills, so I'll just have to concede to your argument. I guess Van Gogh did deserve to die because he mocked organized religion. May all of us blasphemers meet the same fate. Allah Akhbar, buddie.
We are told of great danger in the Bush victory.
"She held up a sign saying, Muslims Against Violence"
Yeah right. Butchers against meat. Mechanics against cars. Printers against books. Bankers against money.
Get real.
Illiterate, bloviating confabulators don't get a lot of my time. Call the Samaritans.
