Issues around the world that" concern, bother, and fascinate me...Vol 1.
 
Who says Islam isn't violent?


These deadly protests and violent outbursts by Iranian Muslims over this cartoon depicting the prophet Muhamed are ridiculous. In my opinion, religion and spirituality are about faith. If "civilized" people can't tolerate someone drawing negative caricatures of holy figures, then they are weak in faith. I mean, I've talked to people who have flat out said, "F*ck Jesus." I've seen people wearing shirts that read: "Jesus is a fag." Though those things are disheartening, they don't weaken my faith nor provoke me to turn violent. If anything, it strengthens my belief that God will have the last laugh when all is said and done. Those muslims in Iran are wrong. And, now, I just read on Cnn.com that the government of Iran is holding an official "Holocaust Cartoon drawing contest" to retaliate against the Danish cartoon that began all this melee. Are these people 5 years old or what? They need to STOP, stop stop!



New Species Discovered in Indonesia:


That's right. Scientists have discovered a multitude of new bird, frog, and insect species in a remote section of Indonesia. Who knows, maybe the cure to "incurable" diseases are just a rain forest away.



Coretta Scott King:


Receiving a dignitary's funeral. That is very impressive. Not only did thousands attend, but Presidents and celebrities of EVERY order bid their farewells.

RIP.



Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie


I am sick and tired of hearing about them. You would think she was giving birth to Jesus himself. THink about it. Angelina basically stole Jennifer Anitson's husband. And, now, she's being celebrated because she can spread her legs and get knocked up? Whoa! Priorities and mind sets of people are screwed up. For the record, what those two did is wrong. You know the old saying. "If they cheat with you, they'll cheat on you." So, watch out Angelina. What goes around comes around.



Hurricane Katrina Victims being evicted from hotels.


I guess after months of "rent free" living, various hotel chains have had enough. That's right. Victims of Hurricane Kat are being forced out of hotels and left to their own devices. I guess the old saying applies here: "You ain't got to go home, but you got to get the hell outta here!"





NUFF SAID

i heard about the katrina shit. thats bull shit, they have no homes, where are they suposed to go?

La Cosa Nostra 02-07-06 07:36 PM

Yeah.. That cartoon shit is pretty immature.. But you gotta understand, islamic and arab people in general are just getting compleatly shitted on from every angle these days.. I mean, not only does everyone think their terrorists, airports become extremily suspicious of them just because of their race and religion, the media is making jokes about them left right and center..

Their bitter right now... And thats why their being slightly immature about these things... Because a lot of them would kind of feel like the whole worlds turning against them and bullying their race because of what a select portion of them are doing...

As for the hurricane katrina shit dude... You really cant expect hotels to continue to give out free stay to that many people... It was a nice gesture, but they cant let them stay for so long that theyll go out of business.. That shit just isnt practical and I dont blame them for wanting to go back to normal where their not making such a loss on rooms.

What they should probably do is appeal to the government to pay their rent for them or something if they got no money.....

L. Veracity 02-07-06 08:32 PM

definetly with NOS on his response to the Muslims, but at the same time, they should excercise self control and "peace" they speak of in their religion itself

new species, yay more life :)

R.I.P. Mrs. King

angelina "says" that they were already splitting before they hooked up and she'd never get with someone that cheated on his wife cuz her father did it to her mother...do I believe her? ughh no...and yo're right, that karma is a bitchy lil' thaing that ALWAYS rears it's ugly head...she'll feel it one day, whether it be sooner or later, who the heck knows (or cares)

again, I'm with NOS, people can't mooch off other folks' kindness forever...gotta get up and do for "self" at some point, they got opportunity to bring themselves up, could've got a job somewhere and saved some money to get what they need since they were pretty much FREE ass living for the past however many months

Crazy Hades 02-07-06 08:54 PM

My Danish friend was talking to me, and said the minister of Denmark was probably all 'Yeah, we're finally on the same level of hate as America'. A cartoon depiction of Muhammed is a stupid thing to do, but by far not the stupidest ever. Oh well, a lot of Danes are literally Nazis anyway. - salute. -

Nejji Bangaz 02-08-06 04:12 AM

i also agree wit nos on the muslim thing
bein a muslim i have experienced first hand racial stereotying/profiling, especially @ airports...and the whole "Who said Islam isn't violent?" statement is stupidly, retardedly ignorant :nono: . that small portion of muslims doesn't represent the whole religion homie, thats like saying "all white christians hate jews" bc of hitler...it makes no sense and is a form of racial stereotyping, just like saying all muslims are terrorists or all muslims r violent or that islam is a violent religion. Altho i agree that the iranians shouldnt have reacted the way they did, bc two wrongs dont make a right, i dont think that the cartoons shouldve been published. and the statement of muslims getting upset bc theyre weak in faith is just plain wrong. they did it because of the exact opposite reason. bc their beleifs r so strong and they felt quit offended. and the fact that most white christians dont get offended by offending statements about jesus isnt exactly a good thing, it just means they r now numb to all the disrespect. if someone said things about jesus like the things that r being said now like a hundred+ years ago, all hell wouldve broke loose. the moral of this story is two wrongs dont make a right but ppl should be respectful of other ppls beleifs
p.s. heres sum food for thought, islam is one of the only religions that no discrepencies have been found in.... :evilgrin:

In the words of the "brilliant" Neji Bangaz, "I'll say what I want. Even if I was a Muslim. And, if you don't like it."

:gfy:



Neway...Who said most Christians don't get offended? And, why do they have to be "white" christians? I think you're out of your league here child. I specifically said derogatory statements about Holy figures in any religion are disheartening, but that doesn't justify killing someone for "offending" your sensibilities. That = ridiculous.


You seem very young and naiive. So, I'll excuse your ignorance to that.

P.S. If people have the wrong iimpression of Muslims, Muslims are partly to blame. Even Muslim leaders admit that.


And here's some "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". Jesus said, "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, that you have love one for another." How is killing someone who offends you showing love? Those militant muslims have perverted and twisted truth to fit their agenda, and it's wrong. Islamic leaders need to denounce those people who do such things. If they don't, I and everyone else will JUSTIFIABLY attribute those actions of the "few" to Islam, period.

1) if u gonna quote me quote me correctly duke-y
2) i beleive i stated wut u just restated about the whole killing ppl for offending ur religion..u just reiterated... :thumbup:
3) no one said that muslim leaders represent all muslims, bc most r corrupt which is how they got into positions of power (think george dubya), so them coming out with statements to "represent" all other muslims in a good way isnt gonna happene n e time soon...so go ahead n hold ur breath :)
4) YOU said that u dont get offended, n u seem like the perfect example of a christian (sarcasm) so i did the same thing u did and grouped all u together...(annoying innit?) and i said white christians bc u see more whites "bashing" jesus and what not...
5) the fact that im younger than u, in this case, doesnt really give u an upper hand so dont use that "child" bullshit wit me homie...k thanks ;)

SHOW ME WHERE I STATED "I DON'T GET OFFENDED"



:nono:


Your whole style of discussing is childish. That's why I brought it up. State your opinion and move on. The fact remains. Muslims have a bad rep because MUSLIMS caused that bad rep.

Show me where I denounced "ALL MUSLIMS" in my initial post. I didn't. But, a little salt can ruin a dish.

Critic 02-08-06 08:35 AM

Dam I dont even want to get started on the whole muslim issue,..
a religion that changed to justify suicide bombers gives it a bad rep
go Kill a non-believer and you go to paradise !!!!!!

Are you sure !!??

a religion so barbaric beheading people is an appropriate punishment !!!!

Come on now,.. the whole cartoon thing was wrong ! but its fine to
burn English & American flags every other day of the week ?

It's wrong to publish the cartoons but don't tell me about Islam.

Man look..

You cats can sit here and rag on muslams all you like.. But you have absolutly no idea where theyre comming from... You talk as if their all suicide bombers and their all some kind of crazy AK-47 weilding psychos..

Fact: Islam is a religion. Islam worships the same god as Christians and their religion is based on the same principles. Christianity and Islam are both sect's of Judaism started by HUMAN prophets (yes, jesus is a HUMAN prophet.. Not a deity as the twisted church would have everyone believe). They both have their own religious books (the bible and the Quran) and there is really not a whole lot of difference between the two in reality.

Islam is NOT the terrorist cult you proclaim them to be.

Over the last 20-30 years, many arab countries have been at war, have been opressed by the western world, have been supplied guns and interviened by the western world, have had their governments overthrown and replaced by weak governments that can be controlled by the western world, have had their homes bombed by the western world.. Etc etc etc and the list goes on and on.

You people sit here and act like you are some kind of holy fucking force that never does wrong. Yet you know what your governments DONT tell you? YOUR country is EXACTLY whos to blame for most of the terrorism infecting the world these days. And it has nothing to do with Islam. You wanna be let in on a little secret?

If the people in these countries were all christians. And you were all Muslams. YOUD BE SITTING THERE SPREADING THE SAME BULLSHIT OPINIONS ABOUT HOW YOU THINK CHRISTIANS ARE ALL TERRORISTS.....

See its not the religion that is brainwashing the people. Its the groups of people that are brainwashing the young impressionable religious followers that are searching for their path in life. Its the people that are fighting a holy war against the western world, not the religion.

Q.. I would of thought a homosexual black man would know better than to become hateful and steriotype an entire population of people over what a few choose to do with their lives.

What is wrong with you.............

Key... 02-08-06 12:01 PM

The name Islam means Peace.......

so its stereotypical oppinions that make muslims in general to be seen as terrorists

lol @ hateful...Dawg...you and NB are thinking with your emotions.


Consider this.

Let's say I prepare some delicious clam chowder soup. While adding salt to the pot, the top accidentally comes off and too much salt falls in. Now, let me ask you this. Would you say the "soup" is too salty, or would you say the area the salt fell in was too salty? Come on dawg...A little salt ruins the dish...The point is, Muslims need to take responsibility for those defacing Islam, which happen to be other Muslims!

What these extremists are doing is NOT true Islam, from what I've been told. They need to either change their ways, or call themselves something else.



Oh...Let's not forget that the 20 hijackers, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Bin Laden are ALL MUSLIMS.
