Seems like JU's local klan is seetting in more hate than most Muslims could even dream of.

Mano,

I have defended you in the past, but when you accuse me and others (I am in EXACTLY the same position on this as the "klan members" you describe, so your snide remarks hit me as well) of being in line with the KKK because we defend the concept of free speech, you have gone too far. Rest assured, mano, that if the jihadists ever get their way, they won't care that you kissed their tuchusses all these years...they'll blow you up with the rest of us.

Maybe you should write a blog entitled "how to lose someone's respect entirely in 20 words or less"

Gid there is only one that I was referring to..and it's not you.

Like I said, though, she and I hold precisely the same position on this...so a criticism of her on this position is a criticism of me as well.

I would also like to point out the hypocrisy of repeatedly dredging up one's past sins while maintaining the philosophy of negotiating with a state that for many years was headed by one of the most prolific terrorists in history (Arafat). Why is it that Arafat can redeem himself in your eyes, yet one individual that you don't even know personally cannot?

I can personally attest to the fact that Caracarn1 is a card-carrying Klan nutjob! Oh, and he eats babies for lunch!


*The above is a joke for those among us who are humor-impaired

Oh, and he eats babies for lunch!

I hear they taste of chicken. (Dress to Kill)

If the Muslim nation wants to stop being the "joke" of the world, it should use its 1.6 billion members and STAND UP against terrorists. Turning them in, killing them, at the very least making more of an effort to condemn the acts.....whatever.

Then the world might stop laughing.

Oh and as for "What the west can do."

It's not our mess...the Muslim faith created these nut jobs so it needs to deal with it.

But we CAN kill them when they bring it. I don't think that will be too much of a problem. (Except when they run and hide in their little holes like cowards.)

" Seems like JU's local klan is seetting in more hate than most Muslims could even dream of."

I had commented the most around the time that statement was made, so I guess he's talking about me. Between the clan stuff and 'bushtards' it's obvious that manopeace isn't really anyone's friend unless they agree with him.

Anyway...

I want to say that I don't like the cartoons. Had I been the editor I wouldn't have printed them, not because they are offensive, but because they are honestly poor quality and make little or no statements. As far as offending Muslims, I believe that offending people is an untouchable right. The INSTANT offending people becomes illegal the government can repress the people by making it illegal to offend THEM. A good example is Venezuala, where it is now illegal to show disrespect for the President.

I am an "Infidel". I didn't invent the term, and Islamic talking heads have referred to me as such, lumped in a collective, geographic set of "Infidels", all my life. Not counting the "troublemakers", what does the Islamic religion say about "Infidels"? How is the word used in popular Islamic culture?

Will Muslims find it understandable if I decided to start burning embassies when it said that "Infidels" should be killed? You cannot liken a turban to a bomb, but what happens when America and Americans are likened to "Satan"? Would they shrug and say "We asked for it" when we respond to the "Death to America" rhetoric by storming through Arab neighborhoods?

Nope, they'd be mad about that, too. This is a one-sided respect. We tolerate being likened to devils, and all the anti-semitic stuff we have to hear, I would think it would be a bargain for them to tolerate a cartoon every now and then. In terms of offensiveness I think they get the better end of the bargain.

The Islamics are "seething with anger" and resentment because they believe, as do many Jews and Christians, that Father Abraham banished Ishmael and Haggar to the desert in favor of Issac. They've been overly sensitive to any slight and insult, perceived or real, ever since.

Funny how the world press, which usually responds to Islamic unrest with kid gloves and vast understanding and rationalization, responded to this one.
They take umbridge at the freedom of the press, respond in their usual way, and suddenly Islam is a threat.
Like the rest of us didn't know that already, and for thirty years, at that.

Sorry, but that's bullshit. I'm going to have to raise the bullshit flag on that statement. I know who you're talking about, and she hasn't said anything worse than what I've said.

You seem to have quite a bit of hatred too. Nice to see you down on our level for a change.

It’s interesting how so many of the right-wingers here at JU are speaking out against the Muslim culture of violence and hatred when 97% of the Iraqis we “liberated” from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein are Muslims, many with the same tendency towards hatred and violence. With the current cost of the Iraq war approaching 240 BILLION dollars and costs when we’re finished with this mess estimated at 2 TRILLION dollars, not to mention all the casualties, what the hell are we doing over there?

You'd rather we spoke out for the Muslim culture of violence and hatred, Ben?

And if you really think what we did in Iraq and the senseless violence in response to a perceived insult from a cartoon are somehow equivalent, you have a reality perception problem of major proportions, perhaps brought on by cranio-rectal inversion.

Yes, I suppose it must be interesting for you.

(By the way, you forgot to put "tyranny" in sarcasm quotes. Your complete and utter disrespect for other people's lives and humanity in general didn't quite show as clearly as it usually does.)
