So the Orlando shooter has burial rights? You're shiting me...
" I disagree here, I would say the worst religion is the western capitalistic ideology, but that's a whole different discussion. To your second point, the same could be said for the real life person portrayed in The American Sniper and yet he's hailed as a hero even though he killed way more people. But it's ok because he did so in the name of our 'religion' western society. I'm not so sure the families of his victims care so much about the semantics. |

" Without offense, but capitalism is based on science. That there are a lot of unscientific people talking about capitalism (specially in a fundamentalistic way) is another thing. Add a Forsaken Masters questline

" Right, that's why I specifically used the word ideology. My point is profit/consumerism worship is more reflective of human flaws common to religion rather than it being an expression of a scientific way to allocate scarce resources. Last edited by GeorgAnatoly on Jun 26, 2016, 2:52:10 PM

" Please don't conflate a belief in magic or the supernatural with conclusions based on rational observations of reality. Capitalism may be a flawed concept (I don't care to have that discussion in this thread), but it's not in remotely the same realm as Islam or Christianity. If you're going to persist in calling capitalism a religion, please at the very least list your personal definition of "religion" so that I can have even the slightest hope of understanding you. | |
" "Soft" science. Economists don't really agree to each other. Economic theories isn't infallible and can be falsifiable. " I would say it has more to do with America foreign policies that cause deaths, destruction and misery to millions of Muslims in Middle East. People in Middle East dislike America, not even the moderates like America. How many dead Americans and dead Muslims in the Middle East? Are people having the mental block? People in Middle East hate America. Negative Portrayals of Muslims as terrorists and negative sentiments is like a self fulfilling prophecy. The hate just escalate and spill over.

" I'm not the one who started the whole "us vs. them" issue, where Islam is concerned: " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbi If you or I are not Muslim, we are either Dhimmi (paying Jizya, protection money to the Caliphate, but still second-class citizens or worse), or we are harbi, enemies to be killed or conquered. This is the fundamental Islamic view of geopolitics. This isn't an "optional" belief; it is the bedrock of Islamic socio-political motivation. As Islam grows more prevalent in a Western country, so does radicalization. It is emboldened as political and de facto military power grows, and it is how Islam spread over 1,400 years to encompass much of the world. Don't preach to me about how these poor, suffering souls deserve my sympathy. They conquer, kill, rape, and enslave, and their holy book, which is to be adhered to without alteration or fail, casts ALL of us "infidels" as lesser creatures unworthy of mercy. I will happily live in peace with any who will live in peace with me and mine. I will oppose those who seek the destruction of my own way of life. ='[.]'= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/

" If our cowardly government would release the audio, and the exact transcripts of what the killer said and wrote (faceboook, emails etc), then psychologists could very likely tell whether he was suicidal or not. Verbal phrasings, tone of voice, unconscious hand movements can give information away to a trained specialist. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case. Had Mateen taken his family out before the killing at the club, it would fit the pattern - as just one example. This was a planned homicide, and his family is probably celebrating a successful mission. PoE Origins - Piety's story http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2081910

" Ray isn't "spouting" hate. He is citing facts. Facts like - The sky is blue, or Bill Cosby has been accused of certain crimes. When facts become perceived as hate, then the person perceiving it has reinterpreted the facts to fit their own world view. Whether they do so because they were taught/raised or influenced to think that way, or whether they are using the psychological defense mechanisms of denial is tough to say. " In this case, the hate is a cultured product of a specific subset of society. While the vast majority of that subset do not share these views, they are considered acceptable for others to commit by a dismally large fraction (>10%). We need to stop the bleeding before any "healing" can begin. The bleeding is being caused by radical Islamic leaders promoting these behaviors. Their continual promotion and recruitment are a cancer that needs to be excised - and the surgeon needs to be the Islamic nations who know their society best - like Saudi Arabia and Jordan, working with the rest of the world. "Hamas-Linked CAIR Lawyers-Up Orlando Terrorist’s Family, Mosque Suspects Even as the FBI has suspended formal ties to CAIR over its association with terrorist groups, CAIR reps are sitting in on FBI interviews with suspects at Mateen's Fort Pierce mosque.

" "Let not the first drop of alcohol touch your lips" is interpreted to mean "flick the first drop of your beer out of the glass and drink the rest" by many of my friends from Egypt and Sudan who are muslim - though most do not drink.
