Just shows that their talk about needing Muslims to "show" rather than the "silence". Tunisia is doing just that
The party leaders ambiguously said they would "focus on democracy, human rights, a free market, and leave religion out of it". You seem to put a lot of stock into what they say. When I see - no matter the minority - Christians sharing their faith in public, and atheist bus advertisements in Tunisia, then I will admit that the leaders of Tunisia meant it when they said they would "focus on democracy, human rights and a free market".
We'll see. If Egypt is any indication of the fallout of the Arab spring, it doesn't look good.
Also, if you're going to throw insults around, why don't you try quoting me and calling me a bigot directly? Don't shout generally-directed insults from the corner of the room. Or you can try something different and actually supply reasons why you we're wrong about a possible tyrannical government coming to power in Tunisia.
Who the hell is Boko Haram? What the hell does it matter what Boko Haram says? :lol:
You don't think it matters that we know the motivations behind a group of men that just killed 69 people?
I'm not surprised. It's because you don't want to confront the reality of Islam. NEWSFLASH: They kill because "Allah said".
There is no doubt that radical Islam is a threat to western interests in the Middle East, but it is the western foreign policy for the past 75 years or more that is to blame for that. There would be no Islamic radical fundamentalists if it wasn't for the west's interference in their internal affairs.
That's actually a very RACIST opinion. You're implying that Muslims are uncontrollable animals and of lower intelligence. They don't like our foreign policy, yet they don't know how to protest peacefully? They don't know how to lobby? They don't know how to write a letter? They don't know how to start an association? We're not blame for Islamic terrorism. Islamic militants are.
And we're not meddling in their affairs. We want peace and freedom in the Middle East and they're meddling in our affairs! Sending weapons to the Mujahideen, financial aid to Hamas and Hezbollah. They're will never be true freedom for the average M.E. citizen while these groups have influence.
It matters to bigots. Anything ANY self proclaimed Muslim says/does is held up as PROOF of what ALL Muslims are like.
69 people killed and you just write it off like nothing. Wow. 8O
And how is any of that a threat to western interests?
When the freedom of an Afghan is threatened or taken away, our freedom is threatened too. Freedom should be for all, not contained to one part of the world, otherwise the "contained area" is at risk of getting smaller and smaller!
What if freedom wasn't only in the west, but rather only in British Columbia? Would you still be okay with the rest of world living in slavery, or would it finally start feeling closer to home?
