I didn't say that, Beduin. Although after the cartoon controversy, I'm sure things were a little tense. The fact that some of the people connected to Jyllands-Posten had to go into hiding isn't a good mark for Islam overall.Beduin wrote:

Women, kids, elder... I don't give a fuck, as long as they are muslims, it should go "Ding Ding.. Moooslims".
Actually, when the atrocities committed against the Soviet troops came out after the war (remember media weren't embedded back then) the West was horrified by what those we had supported had done.oug wrote:

Not true. lets stay on topic... FEAR MUSLIMS.Turquoise wrote:
Yep, the whole prohibition on visually portraying Muhammad is actually something that came late in Islam.
Exactly! They are not better than us, are they? We have to find a place to implement it, we can start with the holy ground zero.
You're thinking of Israeli roads in the West Bank.rdx-fx wrote:

We are not affraid of the busdriver, the local pizzaman or even hizb-ul-tahrir. We have many issues here, but fear is not one of them.Turquoise wrote:

What does a journalist feeling nervous about getting on plane with muslims have to do with how the Saudis organise their road network around Mecca?
It was just mindless muslim bashing, when other religions are equally bigoted and dangerous.
And how is that different to the Israelis? Declaring their entire country is for one religion only, and bits of other people's country likewise.Contrast this with our good friend and ally, Saudi Arabia, who openly practices bigotry and segregation, by declaring whole cities off limits to lowly non-Muslims.
i think it's only usm that doesn't like hajji just because they are uber religious. i dont see other vets just mindlessly saying "lol hajji is evil when i was in iraq i got to shoot so many it was fun." shit most of the vets here know more about ME culture and politics than your average college kid.Dilbert_X wrote:

You do understand that citizenship was offered to, and declined by, the majority of Muslims...? It was their own choice.Dilbert_X wrote:

Which wouldn't be happening if the Muslim population within Israel had accepted their fate as citizens of Israel. With 20.3% of the population they could surely make their presence felt in the political sphere and be a nice counterweight to the hard right that seems to have come to power since Gaza started shooting rockets on a daily basis. It's their own fault. I have no sympathy.Dilbert_X wrote:

"In effect, this means that no non-Jew could become a citizen of Israel, since none worthy of whatever their religion is would take such an oath."
