I don't think I was "wallowing" in the same pen, let alone paddock, as Rob's first post, by saying stuff like "I don't like extreme xxx, here's why." If I were to analyze his post in the same way as I just did my own, he wrote stuff like "you and your friends are criminals for what you believe in, and what you believe in is a vile, homophobic, chauvinist, pack of lies promulgated by an intolerant and cruel pedophile." ... Sorry I couldn't really generalize it very well. I think it speaks for itself. That -is- hate-speech, not just a hurtful generalization. He doesn't even generalize, that's a personal attack, and is really a shame to see on these boards, and that's why it got my hackle up.

Actually, you analyzed your own by reading only the first half. If you try that with Rob's, you miss the bit you're commenting on... FAIL! ;P

That said, terrorists and terrorism as a means to an end is a vile pack of lies, but that didn't seem to be the generalization put forth, and calling it such won't solve anything. ..but what do I know: I'd be embarrassed to be a terrorist for acting so self-important.

Oakman is the personification of negative one-liners on this forum for me (albeit half the time funny, still generally negative or belligerent). Sorry for the misunderstanding. To shorten my previous comment, why would you say such harsh things about Islam (or any religion)? By doing so, you become a part of the propagation of hate.

You're right. He had a specific target and it was someone who deserves opprobrium for his constant support of thugs masquerading as priests. You on the other hand spewed your hate-filled message over most religions and many team sports, branding them all as evil. Your attack was so vitriolic you might as well have been Savonarola dribbling spittle into your beard and screaming "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live!"

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'
I posted like that (i dont like ... i don't like...) so that I could emphasize a way to express an opinion without the personal attacks involved. And I skipped the second half of my own because it was my own rant on the soapbox, and wasn't directly relating to Rob's post. I suppose I should try again: I don't like vicious ad hominem attacks like that, and think they only inspire anger and hate, and why would you write that? If you are going to, at least be open to dialog with the people you disagree with. You can say it's pointless to try to be open to dialog w/ terrorists because they're not open, but then again, who ever tried? Ever since 9/11 it's all "we will not negotiate with terrorists" be it truly evil men or people who feel their way of life threatened in a non-trivial way. I don't think I should back down on this one.

You should have actually read the report before you posted it, because as usual, you got it enteirely wrong. From the study: " Calling the efforts a war on terrorism raises public expectations — both in the United States and elsewhere — that there is a battlefield solution. It also tends to legitimize the terrorists’ view that they are conducting a jihad (holy war) against the United States and elevates them to the status of holy warriors. Terrorists should be perceived as criminals, not holy warriors." See, your buddies are really just common criminals, and should be imprisoned like any other. An the only excuse needed for dumping Islam into the rubbish bin of history is that it is a vile, homophobic, chauvinist, pack of lies promulgated by an intolerant and cruel pedophile.

probably the principle of Riba, which goes agaisnt interest and inflation, no muslim can enter into a mortgage with interest charged, it is a sin. so how is the powers that be meant to control them if they cant use the normal methods... destroy the religion itself.

Used to be that no Christian could charge interest for any kind of loan. Then they saw how much money the Jews were making (Look up the House of Rothschild - the original Illuminati, just ask Zep)

My characterization of Islam is not "politically correct", but it is nonetheless an accurate depiction of the beliefs advanced by Adnan and friends (and those same beliefs not loudly rejected by the more moderate faithful). Islam is a violent faith - one of the few that mandates the killing of those who reject its teachings. It is chauvinistic, teaching that women should be subjugated and are less worthy than men... It's founder and prophet was by most accounts a pedophile, and a violent man. Most practitioners of Islam rejects homosexuals, and persecute them with extreme violence and cruelty. All of these are mere facts for which you wish me to substitute politically correct obfuscation and double-speak. You are the one who propagates hate by pretending it does not exist. And no number of believers will make Islam any different as long as they and you maintain the pretense that it is other than what it is. You protect the real hater.

FSM is a parody religion. Created to mock Christianity and other religions. Christianity was not established to mock Judaism, but to fulfill it (according to Christ himself). I don't know anything about the FSM religion. Does it give people hope? Does it give them a way of redemption, justification, or salvation? YOU may say Christianity is a bunch of hooey because you have rejected it, those that have accepted Christ think otherwise.

I dont agree with that logic. If that logic is true, whay are those fuckers terorizing lebanon? They are mentally ill and against every culture that is better than them.

instead of showing off your "intelligence", if you would have spent time to figure out that BANNING a religion officially could destroy America's so called Secular image then you wouldn't have whining about wastage of your 5 mins.

If we wanted to destroy islam, then why support it at home. Your logic makes absolutely no sense.
