Muslims Attack Buddhists Over Pic Posted on FaceBook.....

The religion of peace strikes again.

I wonder if there will ever be a point where liberals start to acknowledge that these people are animals. I just had a conversation with my uncle, a devote liberal, on how The New York Times really only has two sections: the news section that reports on all of these Muslim terrorist attacks and the Op-Ed section that defends Muslims for all of these terrorist attacks. Undoubtedly the Op-Ed section is working overtime this weekend coming up with a way to justify these attacks and put the blame on the victims.

You must know some messed up liberals. All the liberals I know would never excuse terrorists and blame their victims for the terrorists actions. I also have never read any NY Times Op-ed that defends terrorists. The best I can gather from your post is that you assume all Muslims are terrorists. Is that your assumption?
 
uh oh, the religion and political party listed on my facebook profile are taken from Dune. If I insult Islam, they would start a war with House Atreides! They would take back the spice, and whoever controls the spice controls the universe. May Muad'dib help us all.

What about a NY Times Op-Ed by a Terrorist? Did you See any Sunni clerics attempting to stop their flock from Rioting? What about any other Muslims and their Religious Leaders? Who decides what is offensive. The Muslims? Be a one way street on anything that would even be construed as questionable.....Correct?

Mainstream Muslims do speak out against the actions of the radicals. In Benghazi, the people flushed out and attacked many malitia groups thought responsible for the killing of Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans. They also took to the streets with signs expressing their love for Ambassador Stevens and the US. They mourned his death. You can't rightly lump all Muslims together and judge them all based on what the extremists do no more than you can judge all Christians for what the extremist Christians do. There really is no need in hating someone just for being Muslim.

What happened in Pakistan? India? Bangladesh? Afghanistan, Yemen, and Tunisia where the Arab Spring began? You do know the difference of a government militia and their use of other militias.....Correct? Did you see any of their so called self professed Holy men out in front of the flock trying to stop them from rioting? Did you see their Holy men leding the way to go after anyone in Libya?

What about the Sunni Cleric in Egypt......did he not yell Fire in the Big Picture house over the trailer he heard about but had not seen? Doncha think that this Sunni Cleric in their teaching Mosque should be brought to Justice for causing the deathes of others? For the attacks on innocents?

What do you have to say about the taliban techers telling thei student togo to the Protest and Protest the US and Isreal. Not evening telling them what anything is about?

Extremists don't Riot in 23 Muslims Countries simultaneously. What don't you get about they are unable to exhibit tolerance. What Muslims speak out? Excuse me.....where are the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptones of the Muslim World.

It's simple What Muslims will stand up and Say the US Constitution and our Laws is on the same footing as their So called Religion. Lets remember what the Highly Known Blogger and Reporter from Lebanon says. The US Constitution.....that Stuff . Does not compare to their Prophet or Islam. They deny our Law, our way of life, our religion, and our priniciples.

Yet they would use our law to file a lawsuit if they could Right? Doublespeak......Right? Hypocrisy Right? Attacking innocents yet crying out for Justice.

Well I got a statement about Justice.....Do remember there is no such thing as Justice, it's about.....JUST US!!!!!! ;)
 
There really is no need in hating someone just for being Muslim.

Nor is there any need to defend objectionable attitudes or actions for the same reason.

......Yet people do that, too.
 
Their attacks on Christian nations and other outside cultures are really small potatoes compared with their attacks on each other. Different sects of Islam have been at each others' throats for over a thousand years. Most of these repressive regimes involve one sect of Islam repressing another.

Well then it looks like the Zaydi have been getting hit from both Sides.....huh? Sunni and Shia. Plus I would have to say it is the Sunni who is leading the persecution and Oppresion of all other Arabs. Not to mention being propped up as leaders of ME Countries. Which they could never conquer on their own.
 
Here they go again.....now they said a Buddhist Posted a pic that insulted Islam. Do you think when thugs want to be bangers. They should be met by the same fire that those Bangers usually come back with? What should be done about Muslims that just can't accept tolerance. Thoughts?

Wow, nuts losing their minds and comitting violence again. What a surprise.

What should be done about them? That's a difficult one to answer, because they are migirating to alot of countries with western culture. About the only thing we can do, is apply justice as it should be applied, in whichever place they are acting up, but the problem seems to be a hesitancy to do so, based on deference to their culture. As for in their own countries, where their culture is dominant, I say leave them alone to kill each other. Withdraw our troops, our diplomats, and stop all nation-building and foreign aid. They are like the babies of the world, and before they deserve any respect, they need to learn how to get along, as evidenced by their actions.
 
I think this is a great point. Where is the condemnation of this type of behavior?

Generally, the condemnation comes from those who are anonymous and have no voices. The clerics are a part of the problem in many cases.
 
Obama really needs to apologize from Las Vegas for the photograph to avoid further violence.
 
It puzzles me sometime how some of the people who'll vehemently jump on any act or comment they perceive as intolerance seem to have nothing to say when the most egregious acts of intolerance are carried out.

That is absurd. If the intolerant folks who participated in this riot were here on this board you better believe they'd be getting an earful, and nobody would oppose the just punishment of he perpetrators. But when people try to lump a religion of half a billion people together with a few dozen criminals, that kind of intolerance deserves to be answered as well.
 
True, if that were the case...However, unless I were to see a radical change from liberals after this, they are only slightly miffed that it happened to Buddhists. Christians they feel deserve it.

What a silly post. You've got to stop listening to the right wing 'war on Christians' crap.

And if you think this 'liberal' hasn't been all over the muslim fanatics, you haven't been reading the forum much.

All Muslims are not the same. Blaming all Muslims for what the radicals do is rather dishonest. If you will do the research, you will see many Muslims speak out against the radicals just as much a many Christians speak out against what the radical Christians do. Radical religious folks make their rleigion look bad no matter what religion they represent. When you make a case against all Muslims for the actions of the radicals, you just make the problem much worse and create an environment of hate towards all Muslims. This leads to more unrest. It is time to stop this sort of discord, IMHO.

I thought somebody would eventually find a way to blame the President! Thanks for not disappointing!
 
True, if that were the case...However, unless I were to see a radical change from liberals after this, they are only slightly miffed that it happened to Buddhists. Christians they feel deserve it.

Or, you know, no one deserves this. And no one has the right to hurt people over stupid religious nonsense like this, no matter what religion they are.

This madness is what happens when people take religion more seriously than reality.

I agree. We shouldn't defend bad actions regardless of the person's religion or ideology. I just see no reason to blame all Muslims for what the radical ones do. I think the same is true for Christians. When the radical Christians burn Korans for the purpose of offending Muslims, it is a passive agressive act against Muslims. Then, when those Muslims react to this offense, those radical Christians don't want to take their amount of blame for the problem they caused. Blame should be placed on the people causing the problems on all sides. Currently, we are seeing the radical Muslims acting out against these offenses. The moderate Muslims have much thicker skin and are more tolerance. I also think the average American doesn't understand what the Muslims in the ME are being told about the US in general. Many of them are being told that the US government and people are against Islam. There are aggitators (Christian and Muslim) stirring up the unrest, and I put blame on the aggitators more than anyone else.

How can you keep insisting this is the behavior of radicals when it is so widespread, common, and accepted?

That is pretty much the definition of mainstream right there.

Again, how does this explain 23 muslim Countries? Furthermore you say nothing about those Religious Leaders or Teachers Sending students or people to the protest. Some no more than 12 years old to the So called Protest. Whats the explanation.....you going to say 12 year old kids and teenagers are extremists?

Whats the explanation for not accepting what out Laws are with governing our Citizens in our own Country......did you say?

What the India Minister and the trade Association that put the Bounty on the the US citizens head. You going to say there are extremist to. Did they come up with a way to determine which are extremists that were burning US Flags, Shouting Death to America, and then Blaming Israel whom had nothing to do with this incident in the US?

Course when you have a reasonable explanation for 23 Countires of Muslims going off.....committing acts of Violence, attacking innocent people, then there just might be some ground for you to stand on.

I think it is incumbent upon all of us to actually learn a bit about Muslims, especially in regards to the differences between Muslims and Christians, the actual attitudes of Muslims, and the belief systems involved.

Otherwise, we just end up tossing out false equivalences and bland platitudes by comparing the two religions in ways they really are not comparable.

Widespread would be worldwide. This is only within the ME. I wouldn't call what is going on in the ME as mainstream. Far from it.

It isn't mainstream relative to what we are accustomed to, but unfortunately, it effects us, because we are seeing a gradual movement of likeminded-ness moving into western culture, and for some reason, some refuse to look at it, and address it for what it is.

I didn't address a lot of your post because you are talking about what is happening in the Middle East. Those things are not happening world wide. There are millions of Muslims worldwide that have nothing to do with the radicals in the ME stiring up unrest. You seem to be trying to make the case that the radical Muslims represent all Muslims. That is simply not the truth.

What I find interesting is how those who indulge in apologia accuse others of having unrealistic views when their own are equally far from reality.

So, just to make sure I understand you correctly, you are seriously advocating that we should judge an entire religion of a half a billion people by the actions of an infinitesimally small minority? You're sticking to your guns on that, are you?

You sure you wanna go that route?

My advice? Think about what you are saying. I mean step outside of your anger induced irrationality-bubble and really THINK about it. Not too late to retract.
