Religious fuckheads provoke other religious fuckheads to kill UN staff

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

It is no different to when most of the news media would not show the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed because it could incite unrest.

What would happen if the news media showed the burning of the Koran and then a mob went and beheaded more people?

It is a crazy world, but would that make it any better?

Indeed, and there would be no news benifit in seeing a book burning. I know what books look like and what fire might do to one.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Thing is, they did this book-burning thing, knowing that the reaction might be something like this. Relgious fuckheads, provoking other religious fuckheads.

JHE thinks thats perfectly cool. No culpability at all attaches to the people who burned a bunch of korans knowing perfectly well that another bunch of religious fuckheads would go nuts and e.g. kill some well-meaning UN people.

As long as Israel's apartheid regime is stable, ragheads killing people is just great in JHE's world. Something to be celebrated and made the most of for propaganda reasons.

Fuck off back to the EDL JHE, they'll appreciate your act, I fucking don't.

 

[Dhimmi]

The title says it all Bernie... sadly.

 

[Dr Jon]

It's a pity religious fuckheads can't be more civilised about this and agree to kill each other in designated stadia, a la Rollerball, leaving the rest of us alone.

These things are rarely spontaneous. Its not much of a suprise that Mazar e sharif is one of the areas identified by Karzai as ripe for transition/handover of security to the Afghan army.. WAS

Interesting to see how many of his "ripe for transition" areas got similar protests/rioting/treatment

Koran burning is just an acceptable trigger spoonfed by the media and used by "the bad guys"

Your average afghan doesn't know whats going on the next fucking village never mind some tit in america making a fast PR score. It just tactical/strategic manipulation

He didn't indicate that, tbf.

Let's face it, the lack of equivalence between the two actions is absolutely enormous. If the Afghan's had burned a few bibles in response you'd have a (small) point.

But they didn't. They killed 14 people in Mas al Sharif, there are reports of more dead in Kandahar this morning, and we know there'll be more.

You said in another post that a healthy disrespect should be reserved for all organised religion. I think that's correct, however, all religions as practiced, simply are not as bad as each other.

Islam is the most consumptive in terms of the religiously motivated practices of many of its adherants. What other religion would be able to immediately muster such large groups with murderous intent in the name of that religion?

Apart from islamists, the only people who murder unconnected people because of the actions of some fuckwit 10,000 miles away are lunatics.

a mental disorder in which an individual manifests amoral and antisocial behavior, abnormal lack of empathy, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience ....

.... could have been written to describe islam, but is actually taken from a dictionary definition of 'Psychopathy'. Islam is by far the most destructive religion on the planet, currently responsible for more oppression and lack of progress than any other.

That there are millions of muslims who would happily see me killed for this post says a lot about their religion.

Compare and contrast India and Pakistan, two countries with shared cultures, geography, language and cuisine, seperated only by religion.

Whilst India has produced world class doctors, mathematicians, dentists, scientists, and some of the worlds most successful business men and women; Pakistan has struggled to develop anything of value. Whilst Pakistan is harbouring terrorists, preventing females from being educated (21% female literacy in Pakistan/54% in India), and trying to figure out how best to deliver a nuclear weapon without atomising their own people; India are putting satellites into space, building nuclear-powered submarines, and pioneering brain surgery procedures. Hotmail, Sun Microsystems, Pentium processors; all founded or developed by Indians.

What has any islamic country contributed to the world in the last 100 years?

The only difference between India and Pakistan is that while India has become the worlds largest democracy, Pakistan has allowed islamic clergy and the military to run the country.

So lets get away from this idea that the this loony Yanky pastor caused these deaths. He didn't. Neither did christianity.

By allowing the development of the context in which this could happen, Islam did.

catholicism? Orthodoxy?

land of the free

Today? Where?

 

[DotCommunist]

oh, edl- loyalists prods. Intent, for sure.

 

[Deareg]

It is not like the UN were already a major target even before the qurans were burnt is it?

 

[Spymaster]

Get back to me when the EDL start beheading peeps.

Yeah they're basically identical in all other respects.

Ok, I should've used 'main' and not "only".

Well done.

Anything else to add?

 

[ferrelhadley]

loyalists prods

Thats far more to do with nationalism. Religion is largely only a marker for nationalism these days.

 

[ferrelhadley]

If the kind of people who go around shooting abortion clinic workers decided to shoot someone for burning a bible, who here would be blaiming the bible burner?

Arguably the quarter of a million? dead in Iraq were killed by command of fundamentalist christians (also presumably a lot of christians in the US armed forces at least) in a godly war.

Oil and humus.

TBH after the initial push (OP Telic), the Iraqis have made a concerted 8 year effort to balance up the numbers themselves

 

[claphamboy]

Arseholes on all sides...

Agreed, but there's one hell of a fucking different between some cunt burning a book and other cunts using that as an excuse to kill people.

They're strictly toytown. Try the El Mozote massacre instead. About 900ish murdered. Men beheaded, women and little girls raped (and killed).

In 'Stan back in the day, the mujahadeen used to peel the skins of soviet soldiers from the waist up and tie it over their heads so they'd suffocate to an especially agonising death. I bet the likes of you thought that was great stuff.

Yeah. Cos I'm an obvious supporter of islamic barbarism.

Funny how difficult it is to find anybody who'll admit to cheering on the mujahadeen against the evil soviets isn't it.

 

[DotCommunist]

the noble mujahadeen

Not sure what the fuck you're on about but, do you have anything relevant to post?

 

[claphamboy]

And this was done in the name of what religion?

 

[Deareg]

No, Because you are a supporter of anything British.

 

[Spymaster]

Uh?

I refer you to post #54.

 

[rekil]

And this was done in the name of what religion?

Christianity's default response to godless communism in latin america amongst other places. One of the nutter officers of the battalion responsible decreed that the citizens of another town paint every building white to illustrate the purity of their souls.

Stop posting bollocks, it was not done in the name of Christianity - FFS they were also busy killing the clergy and raping & murdering church going women.

It was civil war, a class war, it was not done in the name of any religion.

 

[Spymaster]

He's trying to draw a parallel between political actions influenced by people who happen to be christians, and actions committed solely in the name of religion.

It's a sterile comparison on several levels, not least because nobody on the thread seems to be supporting christianity.
