Muslims

[brew]

... You have no idea what you are talking about and should really stop posting.

Oh please. We're supposed to be posting against muslims, not brews. Anywho.. You're right. I don't know the inner workings of their religion. But either they're really, really dumb, or there's something to their religion. All religions have their stages, starting out, growing, getting popular, then start some kind of age of violence, then there's the enlightenment, and muslims become peace loving. Christians and Jews for the most part have phased out this violence. When's the last time you've seen christian radicals hang some woman for a bullshit reason as in that article? IIRC they've been around much longer then Christianity, and we don't even do that anymore. And the name. "Islam" means "submission". If that's what they call their followers, one can only imagine what the rest of it is like. Having religious laws binded with real laws in most islamic countries doesn't help either. I'm sorry, Habeep, but you take your religion too seriously. You know what I really think? Fuck mohammad. Just don't track me down and suicide bomb my house now, ok?

Getting pissed off about someone naming a bear "Mohammed" isn't that different from Americans getting worked up about someone burning the U.S. flag or raising their own flag above it. Its pride or something like that. There is a lot more similarities but I just stated the obvious one to me.

Sure we get pissed off, but do we go around protesting at a court that he/she should be executed? That's a bit too much. They are exposed to too much violence, and they don't get the fact that violence does not solve problems, but creates newer, worse ones as well. I would have thought they've learned this from the crusades already.

You're still trying to impose your morals on an entirely different system.

There is no such thing as "good" or "evil" in a natural world. They are human invention, and are therefore dynamic and flexible. And ever heard of a Lynch Mob?

If there is no innate sense of good and evil, why did most organized societies worldwide come up with stunningly similar codes of morality and ethics?

[Barabajagal]

They haven't... Give me any large society, group, or organization and I'll give you instances of them either bending or outright ignoring their so-called "morals."

Even Jains, who are a devout form of Buddhists that wore masks over their faces and swept the ground before them to prevent killing anything, committed brutal killings.

The only group that ever got morals right are the Quakers.

If you can't accept the culture of Muslims, then you're gonna have a real problem when we face Aliens.

sorry brosephina, but most large organized societies have problems with murder and theft. hell, ever since agriculture came into the picture, a majority of them even support monogamy.
