Charlie Hebdo Shooting: 12 Killed at Muhammad Cartoons Magazine in Paris[w:157,1217]

Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Ah! Moral equivalence!

Then I am definitely in the right. We all know such Christians exist. There are a bunch in this thread proving it. They would wipe out all Muslims if they could. And justify it the same way that the current Islamic terrorists.



Pretty much the exact words of the terrorists.

As for numbers? Historically the Muslims are still catching up to Christians but yes, currently they are more active.

You are the one exhibiting the moral equivalence. What an intellectually lazy argument.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Could you at least give us your number first and tell us WHY?
You implied it's like "10".

If you see Islamophobia, take issue with it. Point us to the posts.
I don't think it's too high.
I still see way too much apologism and HAVE taken issue with it.

Though many of the Usual Islamo-Apolgogists are Not even posting in this string because it proves them wrong... AGAIN!
So the string IS skewed more towards the critics of Islam. Not to be confused with the Absurd neologism 'Islamophobe' which has No valid meaning whatsoever.

Ping. Ping. Ping. I've found something. Confidence = High.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Yes but also the addition of new ideas and strengths. They dont just integrate and disappear. The generations that came here in the 1800s certainly didnt. They brought their cultures with them.

What new ideas and strengths? The new idea that they will police their neighborhoods with their own religious justice system? The strength that they will kill those they disagree with?

Spare me the PC lefty dogma here.

First round's on me.
Someone say free beer, micro or imported of course & i will buy the wings.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris [W:157]

The majority of Muslims in America are radical? Is that what you are implying?

If so, it's obviously totally wrong. They are integrated everywhere in our society.

Perhaps that is why you have no clue about them.

If that was not the intent of your response, sorry.

See the video I posted, or see the poll linked to therein.

Yo USC. I took one of those FaceBook, online, "Which President Are You" quizzes today.

I got Reagan. (Whoda thunk?) I thought of you (or, your DP avatar, that is.) LOL

Happy New Year
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Have you ever watched K-PAX? Good movie, and a depressing movie, for the same reasons. It features an alien who takes human form and proceeds to amaze the brightest scientists on Earth by what he calls "common knowledge" back on K-PAX. It's fascinating by how enlightened humans think they are when they have trouble with such basic sociological functions, such as not killing one another.

Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Bottom line: How much of this will we tolerate before we are willing to take the kind of actions necessary to eliminate this element from the planet?

They've gone full Medieval. It will take the same to defeat them.

You know that in a typical year, its estimated 50,000 cars are burned by muslims in france a year. We are seeing back into the middle ages.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

So it does not exist then?

Sure it exists. My inquiry is to whether it exists on this thread, and if so, to what degree.


Yeah, that was pretty much the exact reaction of the earthlings, who sent Prot (the alien) to the psych ward. How that plays out is part of the plot of the movie.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

Islam: The religion.
Phobia: An irrational, deep-seated fear.

Howdy Phys! :2wave:

I guess you can chalk me up as another, how you say, Islamophobe.

Those bastards scare the **** out of me. Don't know how "deep seated" it is as I just started hating their asses just after the turn of the century. But it's safe to say that I long to see the entire middle east, and their gawd-forsaken culture and religious beliefs, turned into a glass parking lot.

I am also scared of Ebola. I am scared of cancer. I'm scared of driving on bald tires. I got all kinds of phobias. I wouldn't hesitate to eliminate them all, if it was at all possible. But so far, all I have been able to do is take care of the tires.

I don't think that pic means what you think it means.

Oh well. Good job doubling and then tripling down on the derail though. I'll just go ahead and assume that you can't explain wtf the original one had to do with this topic.

Do you have a link for that?

PARIS — In an amateur video that was widely circulated online after the shooting Wednesday at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices in Paris, two gunmen could be seen killing a police officer as he lay wounded on the ground.

“We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad!” they shouted as they walked back to their getaway car parked nearby. “We have killed Charlie Hebdo!”

The officer, Ahmed Merabet, was the second police officer to be killed that day; another officer assigned to protect Charlie Hebdo’s editorial director was also killed. On Thursday, a third police officer was killed in a seemingly unrelated shooting south of Paris in another blow to the police forces here.

But the killing of Officer Merabet stood out: the #JeSuisAhmed hashtag — “I am Ahmed” in French — sprung up on social media alongside #JeSuisCharlie, as users of social media stood up for the slain officer.

Speculation that Officer Merabet was Muslim spread quickly on social media, where users praised him as a hero and, in some cases, a potent symbol in the debate about free speech and religious tolerance.

Well, at least you're honest about it.

I'd like you to focus on what you said in the highlighted text. No need to defend it or clarify it. Just read it with an open mind. Visualize what would happen if parts of civilization were to actually do that. It would be the greatest genocide in human history.

All for what, the periodic terrorist attack? I'm more likely to be killed by lightning than by terrorists.

Again, humans. So primitive in their ways of relating to one another.

K-PAX Spoiler alert:
Prot doesn't stay on Earth for long. So the Earthlings have to learn a lot from the few, but powerful, lessons he leaves behind.

You might see what I mean if you ever do watch the film. But, no pressure. Some like it; others don't.
 
Re: Terror Attack In Paris

GOP Senators like Graham and McConnell now scurrilously trying to link the French massacre with Obama.
Who would have guessed?

While I did enjoy Judge Napolitano on 'The Panel' on The Special Report .

Yeah, I get all that.

Let me put it another way just in case I didn't make my POV clear enough though.

Re: Terror Attack In Paris


Your link, Le Point, fails to support your claim that "50,000 cars are burned by muslims in france a year". It only says the "plus de 40 000 véhicules soient brûlés tous les ans en France" - with zero mention of the cause(s) or perpetrators. Nice attempt at laying the blame on those who probably aren't to blame for all "plus de 40,000" vehicles burning.

From the LiveLink site,
Some of the violence can be explained as score-settling among rival
gangs. Others are committing insurance fraud, but the majority of
burnings can be explained as a form of open rebellion. Well-planned and
highly-anticipated, New Year’s Eve is a significant release valve for
poor suburban youths who are defying their widespread harassment and
dead-end futures.

I know, right?!? Those idiots are beyond belief. Typical, though. Let's see how many of their sheeple they can get to parrot that crap in the next few days. LOL!

Given your definition I would claim it does not exist. It is wholly a figment of your imagination. A fear of murderers is not irrational. Your argument just might be.

"Islam: The religion.
Phobia: An irrational, deep-seated fear."

I sense no phobia. But I do sense a growing determination to defeat them.

Nice try.
