Islam -

What we need to do is get all Mussers to start wearing big green crescents on their sleeves, force the women to show their faces at all times and restrict their rights to freedom of movement. That'll show the cunts.

Godwins make for really shitty arguments in any discussion.

Xorlidyr · #**152** 03-23-2016, 04:47 AM

I love Islam anyway, even though the relationship is abusive.

Varrok · #**153** 03-23-2016, 04:48 AM

You love everything.

Vlam · #**154** 03-23-2016, 04:48 AM

Even NnT?

My tongue in cheek comment is scarcely more disproportionate than the unbounded, xenophobic rhetoric roughly 70% of the posts in this thread are comprised of.

Jesus people, get some fucking perspective. There are bigger, badder enemies to focus your energies on than 0.00001% of Muslims.

Varrok · #**156** 03-23-2016, 10:36 AM

The enemies are not muslims. The enemy is Islam.

Nepsotic · #**157** 03-23-2016, 10:54 AM

Pretty much what Varrok said. It's easier for STM to argue when he strawmans us though.

Xorlidyr · #**158** 03-23-2016, 10:55 AM

I love Islam! The enemies are ignorance, downfall and hatred of specific people.

Nepsotic · #**159** 03-23-2016, 10:58 AM

So Islam, then.

STM · #**160** 03-23-2016, 11:11 AM

Oh fuck off you ignorant tit. What sect of Islam specifically is the one that's the problem? Each one is immensely different you see. Do you mean Shia or Sunni? Or maybe even Khawarij? Saying "Islam is the problem" is retarded and makes you sound thick and uneducated. Each sect is enormously different. So please, please, Havoc, Nepsotic and Varrok, next time you feel the need to say something ridiculously bigoted or ill-informed, say nothing.

Yep, that's what I said.

Well done.

Very intelligent.

Don't ever become a teacher, STM

STM · #**165** 03-23-2016, 11:23 AM

I wasn't planning on it, though I may as well be in my line of work.

The one that has unscientific beliefs as its foundation

Well done, ISIS and Saudi Arabia are bad and are similar. You are also a genius.

The brain team are out in force this evening.

I mean fuck me, what point are you even trying to make?

Xorlidyr · #**169** 03-23-2016, 12:18 PM

Those are wonderful.

What is your point exactly?

What point are you trying to make?

"Islam isn't bad, stop being so ignorant!"
Is that your point? Because it's dumb.

Xorlidyr · #**172** 03-23-2016, 01:10 PM

I love Islam.

Varrok · #**173** 03-23-2016, 01:11 PM

You've said it at least 4 times now

I thought I was very clear. When you say Islam is bad, you of course tar the brush-stroke name for a vast number of sects with the same brush. The catch-all term for a religion of 1.6 billion people, and you write the entire thing off? Well done.

Varrok · #**175** 03-23-2016, 01:52 PM

The foundation of all religions are unscientific beliefs, hence all religions tend to be logically biased.

STM · #**176** 03-23-2016, 01:54 PM

I'm not saying they're not illogical and unscientific, many people are not, that doesn't mean you write the entire thing off.

Writing off Islam =/= writing off all Muslims. I'm saying that the ideas the religion promotes are shitty and evil. All of them? No. But most of them.

STM · #**178** 03-23-2016, 01:59 PM

The thing is Nepsotic, Islam, as with all religions, is incredibly nuanced. Religion is such a contrary thing, and it's based on ideas thousands and years old. The philosophy, and sometimes the history that can be found within these religions are often valid in the modern day. Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and all the others are outdated and yes, some of it is violent and barbaric but I implore you not to write the whole religion off. I'm not going to change your mind just by quipping with you, but I honestly believe if you researched some stuff about Islam that doesn't abide by your confirmation bias, you might take a more centrist view.

I don't think you can consider yourself a logical person while still putting your trust in ancient, contradictory and unscientific books.

Nepsotic · #**180** 03-23-2016, 02:08 PM

Pretty much. I wouldn't read Mein Kampf and be like "Hey, it's full of shit but there's some good stuff about animal rights, everyone should get this book and live by it!"
