I seriously had no idea there were Taliban like practices in Jerusalem. Very sad.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about... I live in a Christian orthodox country and although I do not consider myself as one (nor part of any religion for that matter), can tell you with all certainty that I have never whitnessed a similar incident. I've also been to Russia, and the same applies there.Poseidon wrote:

That is only true because there are a certain percentage of idiots in every group of people. These kind of people don't have the common sense to know when something is being taken too far. They are easily "brainwashed" by their chosen religion (or any other group with specific beliefs). Soon these people, who started as simple idiots, become weirdos, then fanatics, and perhaps eventually extremists.usmarine2007 wrote:

QFT. That reminds me of the abortion clinic bombings/shooting that were going on years ago by some crazy people that claimed to be Christians. Of course that was uncommon in the overall scheme of things. However, It sounds like the situation mentioned by the OP is a somewhat common practice in that region. The article stated that most of the witnesses felt that the victim 'should have known better' and deserved to be beaten.Turquoise wrote:

Orthodox have been throwing stones at cars driving on the sabbath for decades and recently a large gay pride parade was canceled due to Orthodox threats of violence.
Not to mention Baruch Goldstein and Yigal Amir.
The scariest part is the Orthodox birth rate is very high, so their increasing numbers will give them increasing political power...
How come when Christians do bad things then they given the label "claiming to be Christian" but if a Muslim does something bad he's undeniably Muslim?QuadDamage@U wrote:

I didn't mention Muslims in my post, but that is a good point. I have never noticed the discrepancy until you pointed it out. The reason I said it was to prevent someone from pointing out "that's not a real Christian." However, I'm sure most Muslims would say the same thing about other Muslims that don't practice what they preach. I think ultimately this happens because many westerners DO associate the Muslim religion with violence and they don't know much about it. Of course many of those same people probably don't realize that Christians and Muslims worship the SAME GOD.KillingUrDoodz wrote:

Fixed.Christians,Jews and Muslims worship the SAME GOD.
I hate the people themselves. Their practices just add to it.Poseidon wrote:

There is no such thing as orthodox religious people. Not as one at least. There's orthodox jews, orthodox christians and so on. These groups have nothing in common. So yes, you have no idea what you're talking about.Poseidon wrote:
