Sharif, not to try and hit you from all sides with questions, but if man isn't doing this in the name of Islam, why is this a Jihad?
Why before they blow themselves up do they say "In the name of Allah!"?
Why before they blow themselves up do they make a video of themselves praising Allah, talking about the 70 virgins and such while preparing for their suicide?

...and that rushdie interview cactus just posted is very good.
this is something i've never heard in the "media"
"" Within this Talibanist morality, there is room for great slabs of delusion and hypocrisy. In Shalimar the Clown, Rushdie shows sparingly how the jihadi fighters of Afghanistan have sex with adolescent boys, and the next day chop to pieces men they have dubbed "homosexual". "One of the great untold stories of al-Qa'ida is that they are all these men who fuck little boys. They all have these disciples who they're ostensibly training in the way of the warrior, but they're also enjoying. For a while, then they go off - and they have their wives and families at home. It's like Classical Greece." Does he think Osama bin Laden has done it? "I wouldn't like to say," he says tactfully. "He's an Arab, he's not an Afghan. But Mullah Omar, he's another story..." ""
ultra religious fundamentalists have been known to? ...but i'd need more than one reference.

(Oct 15 06, 14:57)uhm, i hope you know what the root of the issue in this story is, if not, read more or don't touch this subject.
i am just saying this as i have been overloaded with this story here as I am one of the sad/lucky people to live in this country that cannot get to grips with itself.

I actyally favor a diety that can make a few jokes at his own expense. I mean what good is a god without a sense of humor. But then again, maybe that's what mankind is - God's little joke. You know like clowns, to keep him amused...probably explains alot.
- pavlovs_dog0
i do, if seeing a couple stories on 60 minutes counts?
but really, the rushdie interview cactus posted says it all.

Thank goodness it wasn't in the shape of an igloo or you'd have us Canadians pissed off.
THEN you'd be in shit.
We'd send care workers and a HUGE fucking relief effort down there. That'd show you, fuckers.

stupidest thing ive seen yet, its Ramadan, people should worry about cleansing the soul and body, and becoming humble and modest, and closer to God, not worry about a cube, if thats the case they should sue Mecca clothing, and anyone who plays with legos, Im gonna go pray for all you Cube building Infidels to feel the wrath of God, silly

And a side note for all of you who love bashing anyones religion, not just Islam, seriously, Religion is as perverted by man, as politics, and business. They taint it for power and money, period. Religion is a spiritual and individual link between a human being and their God, so why would it matter what someone else said about it, will it matter in the end, when (as believers believe) you will be judged for your life, nothing else matters except you and what you did in life, thats it, so i never understand critics of religion, or terrorist using religion, or even athiest trying to tell you not to believe, Id rather talk to NTers about the war for the next year than have a discussion over ones faith, and what not, its not about being right, its about being a good man or woman, treating people around you with rrespect no matter what they believe. I do like seeing hurtful factless critics get shot down, cause they have no real motive but to shit on it. Thats all folks.

(Oct 15 06, 18:15)ah...
metaphorically speaking?
...cause that's what i'm getting at here.
islam (often) works to restrict freedom at it's most basic level.
an example?
refugees given shelter in one of the freest of countires, couldn't deal with a harsh criticism.
murdered for a simple film.
...and do alittle reasearch on "honor killings" in europe before saying hirsi ali and van gogh shit on anything.
i think they were spot on.
now, am i wrong to suggest that many dutch think twice about levying any criticism toward islam?
knowing their life might be on the line?
do your thing, fine.
but i'm gonna do mine.
...and that just might be selling mohammed pinatas filled with pornography, crucifixes, and pork rinds.
until muslims can deal with that, they'll never be able to deal with the west.
freedom of expression has no limits.

Is this just from a website or is this actually muslims as a whole upset at apple?
Is this like when the Pope insinuated and mispoke about Islam being a violent religion, then, appologized about it to which the Muslims response was "Kill the Pope"
Like that?
Reminds me of a funny joke.
A man goes into an adult entertainment shop and asks
the assistant for an inflatable doll."Would you like male or female?""Female, please.""Would you like Black or White?""White, please.""Would you like Christian or Muslim?"This question confused the man, so he asked,"What has the religion got to do with it? It's an
inflatable doll!""Well," explained the assistant,"The Muslim one blows itself up!"
