I just love the bit in the report where Obama tlaks about how this was all for the betterment of the people of Afghanistan. Invading and bombing all the villages and infrastructure = better society for the people. Hmmmm

Nothing to do with 9/11 anymore and nothing to do with oil pipelines.....pandering to those whose IQ is that of a wet sponge again.

As I have said: fundamentalism is fundamentally flawed. The pastor knew what the consequences of his actions would be yet he chose to go ahead anyway. He holds just as much responsibility for those deaths as the perpetrators.

I don't know Shadow. I wished I could side with you.

I think that people that do these sorts of atrocities would do them regardless if religion was tied into it or not. It takes a "special" kind of person to be able to do those kinds of acts.

I agree, but it is a natural outcome of bombing a country back to the stone age and calling the murder of its citizens collateral damage.

The Afghans who did this in the name of their religion are primitive animals.

And you calling them primitive animals makes you no better. In fact it degrades you even further for your inability to empathize with the reasons for their actions....even if those actions are unconsienable.

I will never empathize with people that murder other people over the burning of a book.

Empathize with people who murder for burning a book? The same type people that do not think twice about burning down a church?

Are you soft?

You are out of your mind.

What the Pastor did is fully acceptable....somewhat impolite, but well within the parameters of free speech. Calling people that murder over a book "primitive animals" also falls well within the realm of free speech.....as does my calling Islam a cult, and Mohammad a war-mongering pedophile, worse than David Koresh...........

Or do you think it is acceptable for some good old boys to blow the heads of the next anti-war people that burn an American flag???

Are you ****ing kidding me?

No, he's not. take my word on it.

Obviously you and Shadow missed the point. It was not about burning a book. It was about the west invading and destroying their country for false reasons and telling them how to live and what to believe. The protest over Rev Jones was just a catalyst that led to the event.

These people are supremely pissed at our arrogant and unhumane actions and it boiled over during an event about something else.

I don't approve of or condone murder at any time but I can recognize the underlying reasons for their behaviour.

Geezus.

And that makes them different from right wing christianity and the US military complex how?

Just for a minute imagine the roles were reversed and the muslim countries had all the arms and invaded north america, bombing towns everywhere, killing civilans and telling you your bible was a demonic text and your way of life was wrong, that you now had to live by their morals and follow their rules.

Would your blood boil? Would you lose it? Would you possibly murder some of them and their supporters?
