    Abubakar Shekau said schools would continue to be targeted "until our last breath" Nice of him to provide the solution.

      You can't possibly compare this religion to all other religions and make a generalized statement like that.

        Of course you can. They're pretty much identical. The only thing different is who preaches and what they want to preach. I think Christianity 1k years ago was pretty much what Islam is now in some countries, immoral, self righteous, bent on enslaving people by denying education. Noticing this paints a clear picture on how much humans can corrupt such a simple and peaceful message presented by some religions. The created the holy books, they distort the holy books because they can't admit the message itself is distorted by the writers human nature/culture/experiences, they change everything to just fit how they BELIEVE their thing should be.

              What other religion today is preaching violence? From your statement you are claiming they all are, which is absurd.

                  And? Other religions are preaching violence? That is, after all, what the post was about. Intelligence and wisdom are not at all the same thing.

                      And as I said, stupid and intelligence are not necessarily opposites. Plenty of people with lots of intelligence are pretty dumb.

                          Not at all. I thought the generalization was based on ignorance and extremism. That's all.

                              I'm going to have to side with Abubakar Shekau. I think our current form of education is inherently destructive. Their society would do well to skip the whole 'post modern' phase.

                              Yes, our kids are so clever they believe absolutely nothing at all. Kids who believe nothing at all are the natural tools of tyrants. I got a feeling Abubakar Shekau's people are going to be around long after our people are gone.

                                        That is of course only a problem if it is abhorrent in your belief system rather than normal and expected. You could impose that belief system on others but then you'd be in contradiction with it yourself. The only problem I have with it is when people fail to grasp that the idea that proselytizing is bad is itself part of a belief system. After all any belief system that denies its own existence is guaranteed to be wrong according to logic, never mind religion. I have known so many post-modernists who claim to be rational and yet are so far up their own chimney that they deny believing in anything, including apparently their own existence. :wtf:

                                          Actually, I just came across the article which validates my point. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/16/upenn-professor-goes-on-blog-rant-over-zimmerman-verdict-claims-god-is-white/[^] :)

                                          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
