Okay keep parroting the same statements we've all heard time and time again, enjoy that discussion. Only flaming I did was toward the Army dude and I wasn't alone in that. Just because you think Africa and Middle East are so doomed we shouldn't even discuss terrorism there doesn't mean I agree. Or I guess I could take that discussion out of the Charlie Hebdo thread. Would you prefer if I made a thread for each and every terrorist action so as to keep our mourning compartmentalized?

EDIT:
For what it's worth, I thought the DRAAT forums had pretty good discussion. Lots of differing viewpoints and hot topics = lots of angry posts, but I thought that was okay. Herrmoo and scandii made my day countless times with their no-nonsense posts.

Really ..? Then I have bad news for you: over the last century, they are playing the lead role in terrorism ... especially don't tell me, that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism all over the world.

Genocide in Eastern Europe was terrible and I feel for all the victims, their families, and those like you who went in and saw it as it happened. That was terrorism.

RIGHT NOW, genocidal violence and terrorism is occurring all over the globe and not only by Muslims against non-believers. It's happening in West Africa, where the elites and government ignore human and organ trafficking and murder rates skyrocket. It's happening in Myanmar, where Buddhists (only by name, not practice) are wiping out an entire nation of Muslims. There, Islam only makes up a small percentage of the population but fears that Muslims are taking over (the same fears seen in this thread) drive genocide. Look at Syria, Gaza, and Yemen where Arabs are the victims of terrorism.

Just because the news obsesses over brown-on-white violence doesn't mean it's the most common. What about Boko Haram killing thousands this week? Nobody cares? More concern over a handful of racist French cartoonists? Only American and European lives matter?

*EDIT*

This thread reminds me of the DRAAT forums

lol this thread just got even more fun

Army Anti Cheat:

Have you considered that you are a terrorist? Your thoughts on homosexuality and abortion would surely cause terror in many people. Oh wait, you can't be a terrorist because you're Christian.


You think gays should be burned, but would never harm an innocent person.
You worry about a future in which THERE ARE NO KIDS because of the prevalence of abortion.

Think about how stupid that is. Only God can judge, mothersucker.

@Ronny *salutes*

@AAC, I laugh at you. Muslims are taking over Europe and the world?



Much of the Middle East is ravaged by violence and explosions. If I lived there, I'd probably just move to Europe cuz there's not much they can do to fight back or reclaim their land or culture when robots patrol the skies and the local elite don't give a shit about them. Your fear reminds me of my grandmother when I talk to her about the #BlackLivesMatter protests.

And lastly,

@Ganja, Voltaire also said that Jews are goat fuckers

All that said, I still feel religion is one of those things that we need to move past as a society, as human kind.

Yes, there's no reason to have [for-profit] collectives of people agreeing about answers to impossibly big questions. You're right when you say it's just a crutch, I can't understand why people seek solidarity in thinking they know stuff like the nature of God or the universe. But many people do, so wishful thinking on that one.

To return to why I came into this thread, there's no reason to post inflammatory images about a prophet of a certain faith when I'd say they are above-average on the persecution scale. Yeah, *poor people* I suppose are the most persecuted people in the world. But I bet if I could find data / could be fucked to look up data on income by religion globally, Muslims are pretty darn poor. I'm reeeeally tired and can't keep track of what I'm trying to say here but basically DON'T HATE MUSLIMS BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY DO BAD THINGS. ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS FOR ALL SORTS OF REASONS, MUSLIMS JUST GET NON-STOP MEDIA COVERAGE ABOUT HOW THEY DO IT FOR ALLAH. I read somewhere earlier today that one of the suspects mentioned US torture in Iraq being a reason why he did it so (in his mind) we started it and we continue to drone strike and torture and so many American and Western policies and norms fuck over people in the Middle East and elsewhere while *as previously mentioned* they are susceptible to propaganda telling them to fight back against the West. . . oh boy what a mess *drifts off into sleep*

*abruptly awakens* oh so yeah maybe tomorrow I'll have some ideas that go beyond Killaman's suggestion to just kill them and "give them their wish"

I think the Catholic Church has got up to a lot of "no-good" in their day, but *religion* as a concept is something I really can't oppose. Then again, I did read Reza Aslan and Karen Armstrong books recently and found both writers to be pretty powerful...


I can't really think of anything meaningful religion has done because I've never felt religious. But I think everyone needs a crutch at one time or another and if they can have that fulfilled by faith rather than alcoholism or substance abuse, two thumbs up. Religious intolerance is really stupid though, and I guess it's only carried out by people who are faithful and very confident in their own beliefs over those of other people so chalk that one up against religion. I'll stop here.

Because Islam is pretty peaceful, all in all? In this particular case, yes, it's hard to deny religion's involvement. The image that was published a while ago is pretty darn racist, though, and was meant to be inflammatory. They got what they wanted, only on a scale much larger than they expected.

My response was targeted at those who said Islam is stagnant, used the word "Islamist" when they meant to say "jihadist", or said that religion is to blame. This story is huge fucking news in the media because it was Muslims behind it. If white dudes did this it'd be discussed for a few hours then they'd return to debating whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich.

I'm just riled up because I've seen so many racists on twitter calling for nukes and #KillAllMuslims and stuff like that.


*EDIT*
This was also a crime of passion. They just happened to be passionate about their religion.

Sure is easy to blame religion from your atheist high horses. Some nutjobs are murderers, no reason to generalize an entire religion. Over a thousand people murdered every day and only a few get hours of news coverage and debate. Islamaphobia is bad.

With high sensitivity and good awareness (and maybe consumption of amphetamines or energy drinks) seemingly instantaneous 180 turn-headshots are possible.

That said, I've never played with him so I onno

I was going to play last night but then I saw the top server was a pic your own gun server.  At least the 82 guys aren't huge faggots like UN was.


I was playing in some modded server and was crying to the admin about how much he reminds me of UN and he was like oh yeah I was in UN

That's about the time I stopped playing
