Goddamn, this is some terrible stuff. Do you think this sort of stuff will increase, or decrease as more ultradevout Muslims enter western culture?

Probably.
Heheh, it will probably "increase or decrease"? I guess you're right.

This article is less terrible and more entertaining. Go coalition!
I am afraid we will see an increase of this for a short while (a few years?) and then it will start to decrease rapidly
Makes sense, Psx.
I'm sure when some progress is made in Iraq, this stuff'll calm down.
I'm not surprised to hear this.....weird....
I heard about this on BBC news, awful awful stuff. They showed a picture of the girl, she was really pretty - its quite difficult to understand why things like this happen.
Religious ultra-fundamentalists suck. They really, really do.
Nothing else to add, really...

This is pretty much on the same level as "Christian Science" murders, and yes any father that refuses his child medical attention based on some archaic religeous belief is murder. It'll flux but eventually fall into the background. BTW did anyone watch Babylon 5 on Sci-Fi today? kinda plays right into this topic.
Oh I know that episode your talking about. Stupid religious people.
bastards...
Boy, let's hope the good Captain and Mo7's don't show up, otherwise we'll have an argument on our hands...
That being said, religious fundamentalists are crazy people. You've got to be crazy to be so devoted to something that you ignore common sense and decency.
I doubt that if they show up, there will be any argument. This is stupid, no matter what religion you practice.Quote:

Oh brother. There's nothing new about that kind of shit. But at least it gave certain people here something to feel morally superior about.
Go coalition!

Why not grant him his wish and let him suffer a slow and painfull death?
He certainly deserves that ne?
Death is the easy way out, no matter how slow and painful it is.
Go fuck yourself. "Go coalition!" referred to the Mongols helping us out in Iraq. I wouldn't make light of something like this, and I hardly need something terrible like this if I want an excuse to feel morally superior to fundamentalist Muslims.Quote:

People don't not commit crimes for fear of punishment, people refrain from committing crimes because they know that what they're doing is wrong. I'm all for frying every single person who thinks this kind of behavior is acceptable, but it's not going to dissuade them from doing it. It might make them sneakier, so they don't get caught, but it won't stop a one of them.
And god help me, even after he called me "moron" in another thread I'm with Stone on this one, at least on the "morally superior" part. Not the "go fuck yourself" bit. I'm not that easily offended. :)

Agreed, this kind of thing has been going on for centuries if not millenia('s or i or whatever.) And EVERY religeion is guilty of it. No exceptions.Quote:
