Take one copy of all the daft books books people die for, wrap them all up in flags from every country, then burn the lot. Then spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, expecting to be assassinated by crazy mothers from all directions.

The idea of Islam as a politic isn't something made up one night while alone in my apartment chain smoking in my underwear. There's been plenty of discussion on the matter. Type in "Political Islam"Google and you'll get plenty of hits.


I tell people that I remain loyal to The Holy Roman Catholic Church more so for the cultural aspects that religious but in the end its the religious part that wins. Like when you are close to death and you need to get things off your chest. Several years ago, I used to do lots of moutaineering. I used to pray a lot then.

I tell people I'm Catholic because the women are beautiful, the food is the best an we throw the best parties. You want to me to give that up for some secularites in butch haircuts?

who said you did come up with it? no one is disputing it plays a role in the M. East.

If you go to the bookstore and buy a copy of the Koran you have the right to burn it if you want to(in a safe manner of course). It is your property and you can do so as you wish. The same holds true for the Bible or any other religious text. Freedom of expression should trump religious intolerance.

[quote="bucheon bum"][quote="Emu Bitter"]Islam should be regarded as a cult. So the Koran is as sacred as The Watchtower.[/quote]

And Christianity should be considered more "legitimate" because...[/quote]

Not good with computers so may stuff the quote function, but why do you assume I'm a Christian? I'm not.

[bucheon bum]

Hmm, because a) you said Islam, and not organized religion in general b) therefore I assumed you were religous, and what are most westerners? christian.

Reasonable assumption if you ask me.

[Emu Bitter]

Allow me to assume. You're a liberal. You're a Westerner.
I assume these things which may of course be wrong, because of your assumption.
Liberals often assume that any Westerner who criticises Islam or Eastern religions in general is a christian.
They also often assume that anyone who criricises their political beliefs is to their right.
It's not always the case.

Catholic food - French, Italian, Mexican, Philippine, Cajun, German/Austrian

Not Catholic Food - Romanian, Russian and English

Best Party - Carnival/Mardi Gras. Both are celebrations of Catholic rituals.

catholic food = human flesh, washed down with some blood.

yum yum gimme some.

So it looks like I won the food issue, the beautiful woman issue and the party issue. As always. Again, why should should I trade that in for bad food, butch haircuts and bad parties. That can never be cool no matter how much peer pressure is applied.
