Westside Steve Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 So you are making the comparison between the Westminster Baptist Church al Qaeda? Oh come on. And yes it seems that a great deal of Africa is a hell hole, regardless of religion. And yet the only time I can remember the world community rallying was in support of the old terrorist Nelson Mandela in a rear area that at least approached being civilized.

WSS You're think Fred thingy wouldn't have tried to organise lynch mobs if he'd been brought up in some third world country where it was quite easy to get away with doing it? I'm not convinced. But again, it's besides the point. Mostly I'm responding to the OP about some fucktards in Sudan thinking it's OK to execute someone based on their religion. It's not ok, but it's also not a muslim thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 No I wouldn't think Fred what's his name would probably execute homosexuals here in civilized us. ( who the fuck knows what any of this would do if we were born in the wild) Like some of the posters on this board enjoy over the top rhetoric I'd be surprised if any of them would ever consider acting on it. I think the Westminster Baptist Church enjoys the air time. Almost everybody does. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 It's still beside the point, Steve. All it takes is someone twisting some religious doctrine to their own views, and a gullible person with power, and you've got trouble. Sadly, those two types of people are not in short supply.

That's correct. Do you think the incidents in today's world are pretty much equally divided then? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 That's correct. Do you think the incidents in today's world are pretty much equally divided then? WSS Obviously not. What I would ask you is, if the demographies were reversed - if Europe/USA were mainly mulsim, and Africa/Middle East mainly christian, do you think the distribution would be also reversed by the same amount? I mean, if you look in the bible, you can find passages suggesting that women cover their heads, that pork not be eaten, that infidels should be vanquished etc. and it's only through our western enlightenment era (IMO) that we've grown out of taking the bible so literally. Perhaps middle east/africa is going to have its own elightenment at some point in the next few centuries? Who knows. Perhaps in a few generations religious people will be in the minority. Perhaps there'll be some new messiah that makes the world more religious? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well you can always fall back on who knows? But as long as we're speaking about the reality of the present day... Who knows the Klingon Empire might be real and if they took over the earth it would be even worse! Also if the cat had not stopped to shit it would have caught the mouse! Like the barkeeper in Darby O'Gill said to Pony Sugru, if I were 10 years younger... Ahh, said Pony, but you're not 10 years younger are you?

Westside Steve Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Let we just closed by saying that we will find reasons to kill each other with or without religion. it's just an excuse.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Pakistan woman stoned to death by family for marrying man she loved By By Mubasher Bukhari5 hours ago By Mubasher Bukhari LAHORE Pakistan (Reuters) - A 25-year-old woman was stoned to death by her family outside one of Pakistan's top courts on Tuesday in a so-called "honor" killing for marrying the man she loved, police said. Farzana Iqbal was waiting for the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore to open when a group of around dozen men began attacking her with bricks, said Umer Cheema, a senior police officer. Her father, two brothers and former fiance were among the attackers, he said. Iqbal suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital, police said. All the suspects except her father escaped. He admitted killing his daughter, Cheema said, and explained it was a matter of honor. Many Pakistani families think a woman marrying her own choice of man brings dishonor on the family. Iqbal had been engaged to her cousin but married another man, Cheema said. Her family registered a kidnapping case against him but Iqbal had come to court to argue that she had married of her own free will, he said. Around 1,000 Pakistani women are killed every year by their families in honor killings, according to Pakistani rights group the Aurat Foundation. The true figure is probably many times higher since the Aurat Foundation only compiles figures from newspaper reports. The government does not compile national statistics. Campaigners say few cases come to court, and those that do can take years to be heard. No one tracks how many cases are successfully prosecuted. Even those that do result in a conviction may end with the killers walking free. Pakistani law allows a victim's family to forgive their killer. But in honor killings, most of the time the women's killers are her family, said Wasim Wagha of the Aurat Foundation. The law allows them to nominate someone to do the murder, then forgive him. "This is a huge flaw in the law," he said. "We are really struggling on this issue."
