Ah yes, those nasty minded terrorist who expect all those virgins to greet them after they are hung in public so the world can see how stupid men die.
He was gay too, you know.
To quote another freeper:
“There are peaceful Muslims, there is no such thing as peaceful Islam.”
You could run this as a plank in a political platform.
I don’t think conflict avoidance at all costs is the way to go. But the opposite extreme of purposefully and outrageously offending everyone isn’t exactly a smart course either.
I remember years ago being on FR arguing against the use of a public museum to display some “art” like the Virgin Mary done with elephant dung and pornographic images. Catholics were outraged. Liberals were loving it. Given that public funds were constantly forbidden to touch positive religion, I felt they had no right to touch negative religion either. Regardless of position, highly insulting stuff has its place and some people have a strong appetite for it. BUT no one is obligated to be offensive in the name of free speech — the “because it was there” argument. Restraint does not harm free speech. Choices not to be offensive can be as freely chosen as choices to be offensive.
So a demand to reprint the cartoons is as anti free speech as a demand not to print. There is no obligation either way. Print them if you want to. Just arrest the murderers.
Old as the hills but the chance to repost always seems to reoccur, lol. Thanks Trisham.
We need a Streisand Effect, working to our advantage. They might actually learn something, for the first time in several hundred years:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
he was into little boys (also girls) , from the quran
“And there shall wait on them [the Muslim men] young boys of their own, as fair as virgin pearls” (Qur’an 52.24)
“They shall be attended by boys graced with eternal youth, who will seem like scattered pearls to the beholders” (Qur’an 76.19)
That is what we’re up against. Wow.
The fastest way to end Islam is to outlaw and incarcerate liberals. Without liberals funding them, defending them, excusing them, enabling them, importing them and surrendering to them, Muslims would be quietly screwing goats in the middle east and killing each other to the planets ultimate benefit.
You are so right! The outrage from American Muslims is simply deafening....and our Muslim in Chief’s outrage is equally so.....
up to a point, you will have to deal with the muslims themself in the end, The Umayyad invasion of Gaul where muslims attacked and ravaged europe until they got stopped at battle of tours was not caused by liberals(due to them being pretty much non existent in the 7 century) or the siege of vienna , we are now in the third islamic crusade against the west that started at 911
It was another freeper that pointed it out, but oh yeah is it true.
He started with that statement, and then supplied the following to support the premise:
Violence is not an aberration in Islam—it is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them.
For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12.
These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.
While there are a couple of passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:256, 29:46, 41:34), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated by the violent ones—because the violent ones were written later, after Muhammad’s move to Medina (from Mecca).
Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesus’ teachings to “turn the other cheek” and to “love your neighbor.”
You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages.
For example, to “fight” really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow.

Damning stuff.
Once we follow my cunning plan, that’s easy. Until we follow my cunning plan, its impossible.
Thats why enablers have to be dealt with. First. Basic strategy is to cut support lines.
a atheist website that has bashed the bible to no end compared the amount of violence verses in the quran vs the bible
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/bible_quran.html
the result
Violence and Cruelty Total verses Percent
Bible 842 31102 2.71
Quran 333 6236 5.34
and most of the violent verses in the bible are referring to actions commited by non christians while the quran violent verses are almost all just advocation of violence
And thats coming from hardcore atheist website
