Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass
I forget the British politician who said this, but it has always struck me as an excellent point, that people's decisions are almost always rational, and it is intellectual laziness to ascribe to them irrationality when it is simply a way of covering for the fact that you do not understand or wish to acknowledge their actual motives.
:yawn: and? I don't recall anyone expecting Christians to go nuts over the LooseChange video floating around the internet. Heck, religion gets described as a "cancer" or worse here on a daily basis.The film is offensive to the muslims. The director of the film has gone into hiding and he remains defiant. He describes islam as 'a cancer'. He said he had intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.
PeteEU said:So you are seriously claiming that the people behind this movie which states Mohammed as a homosexual paedophile lying mass murderer were anywhere near rational when they one day woke up and said.. Hey lets make such a movie, it could be fun!? Screw the facts! That is like saying Adolf Hitler was rational when wrote Mien Kampf which did not exactly portray Jews in a positive light...
