i thought Global Media WAS the jews?

Vlam 03-24-2016 04:48 AM

Ironically, "Global media" and STM (about islam) are on the same side.

I hate all religion, but Islam in particular because at least Christianity as evolved to be a pretty passive thing. You say grace over dinner, go to Church and get married under god. The most violent passages in the Bible have been forgotten and are being ignored by mainstream believers.

Wrong.

Christianity is split in to two parts:

1. Old Testament - Use of Force to uphold God's law
2. New Testament - No enforcement, repentance through Christ.

It is believed that Pope Urban II generated a propaganda campaign that described atrocities being commited by Muslims of the Levant, to encourage Christians to take up arms. Not to mention the Military, economical and Political benifits involved in a successful campaign.

It took all of these factors to warrant a Crusade that had mainstream Catholics from all walks of life pick up arms to fight for God despite the ruling of the New Testament.

Today in the 21st Century, the only Militiant Christian groups we see, are hyrbid off-shoots that have their own homebrew version of what they want Christianity to be, taking up arms for various causes, OR you have Christian armed militia forces fighting Muslim Militias in Africa.

The purpose of my picture, was to indicate that the difference between a group like ISIS and mainstream Muslims, is by action only, not belief. Under the correct circumstances, there is justification for Muslims to enter in to direct combat with infidels today

Christianity however, does not contain any justifcation to enter in to direct combat with anyone, and again I state very clearly that the only time in History where mainstream Christians took up arms, involved economical, political, and military interests.

It has nothing to do with mainstream believers 'ignoring' passages.

Acting ignorant to semantics makes more of a statement about you than anything else, Varrok.

I am not the one ignoring the semantics, I'm not defending a political system that's fundamentally bound to a religion which people kill for and then say "It's not that bad because majority of them doesn't kill". Go ahead and tell that to the victims' families.

Of course they doesn't. If they did, we'd all be dead now. We aren't. Hooray! Only a few hundred got murdered in the last few months, and a couple of thousands got injured. That's the furthest from a majority of people dead as can be, therefore it's good and acceptable.

And it's not like the massive immigration of Muslims tried to push us into accepting Sharia Law, ritual slaughter of animals (because it's totally not a retarded thing to do, and a very cultural thing). It's also not like they assimilated well enough to make a no-go zones that even police fears to visit in a few countries. That's just a work of fiction created by the global media, the same global media that work their asses off to cover that. It makes sense.

Too bad they already deleted the YT video "#CALLBRUSSELS" (you can still find parodies of it though, with the original voices) which says, and I quote:
:

Well, actually it's the media that's made the whole fuzz about it, but nothing is happening.
Phew, for a minute I was worried there were two bombs going off, killing 31 people and injuring hundreds more. I guess that was a fake, along with the multiple videos of it happening.

The attacks in France (including multiple rapes) also didn't happen. The Charlie Hebdo redactors probably killed themselves in order to gain attention. Such a clever manipulation.

Guess I was wrong all along, sorry. These deaths in the name of Islam didn't actually happen. I love Islam

Does a racist moron stick his hand up your arse and work your mouth to make you say these things are do you do it of your own volition? Show me some statistics that prove violent passages in the Koran are not ignored/are practiced, by the majority of Muslims.

Oh right, so because it's not the majority doing it that makes it all okay? As long as it's less than 50% we should just all accept it as a few rogue elements, even though Islamic terrorism and violence has been a pretty much non-stop factor in the world for the past 30+ years. Yea, sure, okay.

Xorlidyr 03-24-2016 05:24 AM

Varrok, that is one way to perceive it. Via hatred. Extremely counterproductive.

I love Islam. I do not hate it. We hate what is given to us on a dish to hate. Yet we are powerless and hating is simply burning our lifes out.

The power is in accepting the situation as it is and trying to cause what you wish without hating.

Hatred makes us blind and ignorant to others. It also wastes our mind.

Varrok 03-24-2016 05:28 AM

:

It certainly it a way to perceive thing. Unfortunately it's not mine, as it fits more to the people going and actually killing others.

My vision is not biased, I don't hate. I don't want anyone dead, which is basically why I am opposed to systems promoting killing people. Like Islam.

Nepsotic 03-24-2016 05:31 AM

Gishy, I think of all people, you are not someone who can tell other people they are "wasting their mind".
Mindlessly hating something is just as dumb as mindlessly loving something. Go away and think about that.

:

This should not happen. Traditions should not simply disappear.

What you've just said is that irrationality is fine as long as we've been doing it for hundreds of years.
Bullfighting is traditional, it's also abhorrent and despicable. There's loads of traditions we no longer adhere to so that is such a non-point. Utterly irrelevant.

STM has been hacked by FA
I thought we had all agreed that they are the same person?

Xorlidyr 03-24-2016 05:36 AM

Your vision IS biased. Much more than you think. Especially since you say that more people think like this. It is called crowd bias.

This is not the religion promoting killing. The religion is just a way for people to justify themselves. They avenge what was done to their homelands (remember Russia and the USA ravaging Middle East), because most Middle Eastern people are hot blooded and highly patriotic. It does not mean, that we have the right to wipe out the whole Middle East, which was the centre of art and culture in Middle Ages.

There are terrorists from Georgia in Russia. They are Christian.

And one more thing. I talked with many Muslims and they say, that terrorists are neither Sunni, nor Shia, because Sunni and Shia Islamic dogma says that they should not attack any foreigner unless the foreigner attacks them. They say, that their terrorists are their shame and they shall burn in Jehennam (Hell), because what they do is not what Mohammed said.

There are passages in both the Bible and Quran that directly talk about murdering people. You can't deny the facts. Whether people follow it 100% or not, it's still funamentally bad. Also, I never said I want to kill anyone, basically the opposite.

:

I never said Christianity is good. It's not. What's your point?

You can attack people verbally, but that doesn't mean you should kill them in return, which is basically what they did at Charlie Hebdo. They attacked Islam. Verbally. Therefore they needed to be murdered.

Xorlidyr 03-24-2016 05:54 AM

Sunni and Shia dogmas are interpretations of Quran and Hadith. This is what the religion of Islam is. The religion is following the dogma 100%, not the religious book of the religion.

Terrorists are encrazed people, who want revenge and find in Hadith, that it is okay to kill whoever attacked you. ISIS has its own faulty dogma, that interprets it as "Who threatens me, can attack me, therefore may be killed".

In Sunni and Shia verbal/mental/honor attacks are not considered attacks. They are considered indecent, but not attacks. But there are still hateful people who find a reason to kill those, whose countries "hurt" them (remember, the people there are brainwashed by their leaders, that Europe+Russia+the USA want them dead and Islam disappear).

Vlam 03-24-2016 05:55 AM

Isn't he (Xorlidyr) German?

Varrok 03-24-2016 06:00 AM

He's not. He's Ukrainian.

STM 03-24-2016 09:45 AM

Let's not forget, everyone that maybe 0.00006625% of the Muslim population are terrorists. That number includes groups like the KDP and Peshmerga, which are only considered terrorists because the US of A doesn't like them.

There are more Christian terrorists in the world. Fuck, there are more Atheist terrorists in the world.

So don't try to make it a numbers game, because that's an irrelevant argument.

Let's not break this down to "which theology is the worst", either, because it's a stupid argument as well. Theology, and in fact any ideology gives already sadistic people the casus belli they wanted to justify the bad things they do. Islam is not the problem, sadistic individuals are the problem.

Nepsotic 03-24-2016 11:03 AM

Okay, where is your evidence?

You are being ridiculous. How can there be only about 1060 extremists when ISIS alone is believed to contain 10-20,000 members.

Your stats don't hold up with reality.

Yeah the news is full of Christian and Atheist terrorism, bombings, attacks, all this ISIS stuff is just getting overshadowed, apprently there was a bombing in belgium? Completely overshadowed by Christian Militia's in the US complaining about their rights.

Really STM, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously with these knee-jerk statements.

Varrok 03-25-2016 07:25 AM

It's funny how ISIS is like 2% of those.

Yeah man, sure is a lot of christian and athiest terrorism going on these days. Almost makes the past 30 years of Islamic based terrorism seem like nothing.

Varrok 03-25-2016 08:04 AM

I have yet to hear of atheist terrorists killing people just because they don't want to be atheists

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 09:05 AM

I remember a story recently about an atheist killing a Muslim in a parking lot. Turns out it was over a parking dispute but the media definitely didn't mention that.

abe619 03-25-2016 02:32 PM

Terrorism should NOT and CANNOT be associated with Islam or ANY religion for that matter, it's purely a human flaw, therefore religion (All religion) is never the reason, it's the tool, the excuse.

Well then what's the reason?

Politics, money and in some cases, just pure sadism for the sake of sadism.

But if honestly you're thinking the media is more biased to defend muslims, then you really REALLY need to check just how much the media has ALWAYS LOVED muslims oh SO SO much.

Yeah, it really shows in how they ignore the fact that ISIS actually kills more Arabs and muslims than other demographics, the problem is that you think Islam is just this one gigantic mass that acts and thinks in unison, you fail to see that it is waves upon waves of highly diverse individuals, just like...let's see...about every other group ever?

Havoc 03-25-2016 02:35 PM

If a religion can be used as an 'excuse' to kill people, that says a LOT about the religion don't you think?

Either way, ISIS is based entirely on Islam. Their entire purpose is to form an ISLAMIC state that lives according to the rules of the Sharia (Islamic Law). So don't say it has nothing to do with Islam, because it has everything to do with Islam in the very core.

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 02:35 PM

:

A lot of the time it's culture-based xenophobia, too.


:

The media (in the UK and US, at least) is divided into the SJW types that defend Islam and then the opposite. I don't give a shit if Muslims kill more eastern people than Caucasians, in fact that makes sense considering they live in the middle east. I'm saying they should just stop killing people all together.


:

No, MUSLIMS are a group of highly diverse individuals, ISLAM is a textbook of bad ideas mixed in with some good ones which people who aren't morally corrupt should know anyway.

Not it does not, you can use literally anything as an excuse to kill people, the only real purpose behind it would be either something related to some form of political goal or just base sadistic desire.

@Nepsotic: Really? Islam is a textbook now? anyway, for the sake of argument, just what is this supposed really deep knowledge you have of Islam so much? and that is for you too, Havoc...what is this supposed "Core" of Islam?

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 02:45 PM

Well the prophet you love so much was a rapist, paedophile, murderer and thief. That says a lot right there.

Xorlidyr 03-25-2016 02:45 PM

If you really wish to know Islam well, you have to have the profound knowledge of Hadith, which is also a religious book of Islam (and it is not a part of Quran).

And truly, ISIS kills much more Muslims than any other people.

I love Mohammed.

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 02:46 PM

HOW IS THIS RELEVANT? How is killing Muslims any less bad than killing atheists or Christians?

abe619 03-25-2016 02:49 PM

It isn't, it's just as bad, it's relevant because it goes to show that Islam is not the problem, terrorism is, ISIS is.

STM 03-25-2016 02:50 PM

Varrok, Nepsotic and Havoc (and maybe Vlam, I don't know), let me just pose this question to you, so I know where you stand and so I can get what this sprawling mass is about: what is your issue with Islam?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha#...ge_to_Muhammad

Edit: STM, have you been reading this thread at all?

STM 03-25-2016 02:52 PM

I just want it compiled clearly and concisely into one post, call it a recap.

Also just to point out the marriage Muhammad had at the time was not at all uncommon of the period. People lived far shorter lives and women often died in child birth.

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 02:53 PM

Let the others go first, I'm too tired and I had some ritalin. It'll take me a while to write up in a concise way, maybe tomorrow.

I wish that people read this.
It shows that even Hadith and Sunnah are not consistently stating the same things.

Varrok 03-25-2016 03:07 PM

It's a religion (and a political system) that promotes bias, spirituality and submission amongst the people, instead of logic, intellect and science.

It's also a highly misogynic system perceiving women as inferior than men. And don't give me the "oh but women are highly respected in Islamic countries", they're so respected that their testimony in court is worth less that a man's is. They can't go whenever they want, they can't dress like they want (if they don't want to wear a huge sheet of clothing covering most of their body) without an overwhelming public ostracism. They get murdered by stoning for being unfaithful for their husbands who can totally beat them up, and they shouldn't do anything about it.

Oh. They have a rule that you can kill homosexuals. And atheists/apostathes. "Oh but they don't do that very often now anyway." Maybe, but if they wanted to, they could. The law they made allows that, as a good thing.

:

Oh yes, underage girls usually die while giving birth. It's also a thing happening in Arab countries, even now. Thanks for the reminder.

Xorlidyr 03-25-2016 03:10 PM

So what do you wish to do with that, Varrok? How could you change the situation without distorting the fragile world peace we have right now?

Vlam 03-25-2016 03:14 PM

STM, you will soon be a dhimmi. Enjoy the time left.

Varrok 03-25-2016 03:15 PM

Promote logic, intellect and science. Maybe that way the smarter part of the people will realize that they believe in hundreds(or even thousands)-years-old books and beliefs that are scientifically inplausible. Hopefuly they won't get killed by their families afterwards.

Nepsotic 03-25-2016 03:15 PM

World peace?
