Democracy In Egypt

and it doesnt make me feel good to call you insensitive. It makes me feel kind of sick that a large sector of this country believes the same **** that you and Riot spew when it comes to this topic. Riot actually believes that there are only a "couple hundred" evil Muslims in the world.

I can't speak for Riot, I know there are a hell of a lot of evil Muslims, I know we are fighting evil Muslims in three wars but again it says something when you call Islam a religion with "a highly questionable Prophet"....as opposed Jesus? John the Baptist? The thing with the world's major religions, they all have different beliefs and they all are sure their's is the only true path to the divine. It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that folks feel the necessity to convert everyone to their "true path". Radical Islam is indeed a world-wide indignity to all peace loving folks, and cultural norms are no defense for violence against anyone. One more time, it isn't a matter of keeping score....my religion, culture, society etc has more or less violence than yours, but a matter of accepting that no religion, culture or society is perfect and that individuals not groups are either good or evil.

listen I'm not a Christian, Muslim, Buddist, Witch, Jewish or anything.

But I'm pretty sure Jesus's message was a lot better than Mohammed's.

Now Moses on the other hand is pretty darn similar to Mohammed. I dont think Moses was any good at all.

But its hard to go against Jesus's message of love. The Christian "God" of the old testament was not very nice or loving.

But like I said before.. I dont believe in anything organized. I dont believe in an invisible dude in the sky. I dont believe in heaven or hell or an afterlife, other than your own body's energy absorbed back into the earth through decomposition. But I do believe, in fairy tale land, that Jesus > Mohammad & Moses


Its hard not to keep score when there are millions of people in this world who want you DEAD. Christians dont want me to get married, but they dont want me dead.

Well, some do...ie: the "good" folks at Westboro. But I don't disagree with that point. There probably are millions of Muslims who would like to see us dead, but that's far from a majority of those who follow the path of Islam. America is hated in many places throughout the third world...it's easy to blame us for their problems (sometimes, to a degree they have a point) and that hatred is fanned by religious zealots for their own purpose...I don't deny any of that but the danger is that we will return that hatred and distrust to everyone, not just those who deserve it.

So guess you don't know Islam has Jesus - yeah, that Jesus - as one of their prophets, up there with Mohammed.

Guess expecting this thread to be about Egyptian culture, how women are treated in Egypt was too much. It's just another opportunity to hate on Muslims. Just more intolerant, ignorant crap piled higher and deeper.

But in the words of Riot at least she'll be OK.

Besides wasn't it Jesus that taught if you go out and kill infidels there would be 40 virgins waiting for you in heaven? A little fact left out of Western bibles is when Jesus went to the temple and destroyed the vendors' booths he actually beheaded them and carried around the skulls.

A couple hundred Al Qaeda lol. If your guy Obama believes this he's at about $100 million in expense per member.

And I said alot more than that - my point was thank god she was not killed - which you are simply ignoring.

Lara Logan just related her experience on 60 Minutes tonight. And yes, she is healing, and she is okay, thank goodness. And she didn't blame "Muslims", or even mention that word, or religion, once. She did talk about Egyptian male treatment of women. Not in a religious sense, but in a cultural one.

So don't lectures us on this subject. You are completely ignorant.

And as far as how many Al Quaeda are left, yes, I"ll listen to the CIA and the Pentagon reports, rather than your imagination. You appear completely ignorant on that one, too.

How ridiculous. No, I don't, and I've never said that (geeshus cripes, some of you can't even read words well). I said there are only a couple hundred Al Quaeda terrorists at this point. I said nothing at all about other terrorists, other organizations, other countries. And I wasn't talking about "Muslims" - I was talking about terrorists.

I'm just not stupid enough to believe "10% of all Muslims on the planet" are evil because I read that made-up-out-of-thin-air number on a silly right wing internet blog, and I'm gullible.

Its crazy that people are so PC that they bury their heads in the sand and act like there isnt a bigot problem in this world.

And anybody that thinks that this post is defending the Egyptians who attacked the reporter are beyond stupid.
