Religion of peace? Yeah, right.

Published on February 5, 2006 By dharmagrl In Current Events

There was a protest in west London yesterday. Muslims were out in force, protesting the publication of the cartoon they found so offensive.

One man came dressed as a suicide bomber:

He had stuffed the pockets of his vest to simulate them being filled with explosives. He wasn't arrested, and rightly so. People have a right to protest.

As usual with a protest, people came carrying placards with slogans written on them:

I think that one should remove some doubts as to what the Islamic militia's intention is, shouldn't it? I mean, they're not exactly being shy about what they want. They don't like the western culture, and they think that their 'religion of peace' (excuse me while I laugh hysterically) is the answer.

funnily enough, none of the muslim protestors got arrested. They were simply exercising their right to protest, afterall.

However, some white people turned up, and one them DID get arrested. Was it a skinhead, creating aggro in the crowd? Nope. A sullen youth, attacking the marching Muslims? Nope. An older man, angry at the protestor's right to march in 'HIS' country? Wrong again.

It was this man:

His crime? He was standing on the street, handing out copies of the cartoons the Muslims were so bent out of shape about. He was suspected of trying to provoke muslims, and was hauled off the street, cuffed, and taking into custody.

So, if he was suspected of trying to provoke muslims, what the hell were the muslims and their suicide bomber and anti-western banners guilty of? Why were their rights to protest acknowledged, but that man's right to protest ignored?

The time has come to stop handling these people with kid gloves. We have to stop worring about their feelings and how our actions will be seen by them. Let them be offended; people get offended all the time. Make them deal with it the way the rest of the world has to.

It's time to stop pandering to them. If they want to attack us, let them. Let them get mad and wage war. Let them take on western culture and it's countries. Let them see that we WILL NOT be dictated to, that we are done being sensitive to people who's sole objective is to have us all bowing before allah 5 times a day. Let them bring it on.

Bring it on. I'm ready.

I've said for years that the Third World War will be a religious war, fought between the Muslims and everyone else. Islam seems to be a faith built on hatred, vindictiveness and intolerance, no matter what the apologists on the left have to say.

The Christian church split because many disapproved of the way the Catholic Church operated.
We splintered and started other denominations in resistance. Islamics as a whole, no matter what their "denomination" really do nothing in oppositon of the violence of the fundamentalists, which they claim to disapprove.
The vast majority, the "good" Muslims, the "peaceful" Muslims, sit in seemingly approving silence as these mutant, "fringe" Islamic fundamentalists do what they do. This indicts the whole faith, in my mind.

As an aside.....I love the way they so courageously cover their faces as they demonstrate. Very brave and strong in their faith.

Mine too. I used to think that silence was acceptable, but in the light of the atrocities that have been done in the name of allah *spits* (that's to show union with LW) I've changed my mind. It's time to stand up and be counted. Either condemn and stand against, or be considered part of the problem.

Oh, and I had the same thought this morning about them covering their faces. I think that those who don't have the balls to go and do are the ones protesting in London.

I think self-defeating open-mindedness is beginning to dry up. We've handed out more 'benefit of the doubt' than we are able, I think. From here on I think we need to judge Islam a bit more objectively. When we see a religion that tends toward lopping off of head and limb, subjugating women, and racial hatred, I think we should call it what it is.

And the Muslims around the world have the power to overcome that stereotype. Instead, they choose to applaud terror and protest cartoons. Let the stricken deer go weep, they've made themselves a nasty bed to lie in.

Good article.

Thanks for the pictures, dharma. The "Europe is the cancer, Islam is the answer" slogan reaffirms what critics of Islam have said for years: that their goal is a worldwide caliphate where sharia is the basis of all law. While I would not state it is the goal of the majority, I would have to note that the majority have not spoken out against the sizable factions who DO hold this position.

Excellent work!

I'm all for it. I'm more than willing to look the other way while the West teaches these idiots what true violence and reprisal is. I say unleash the fury of the West on these cretens. I say bring upon them every conceivable horror know to man. I say "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war."

P.S.

You might find this hard to believe but I'm actually not being sarcastic here. I'm 100 percent sincere.

Yes, let's round them all up, put them in camps and gas them until their brains fry. Down with the Muslims who poison our wells, spread plagues and suffocate our childrens' minds! We'll know them by their funny hats and their circumcisions, so waste no time in killing a Muslim today - it truly is a mercy killing for all humanity! Goblok.

Oh, come on now, cacto...not one individual has proposed that. What we HAVE done is tried to make moderate Muslims accountable for their claim to be a "religion of peace". If Islam IS a religion of peace, as they claim, they have a responsibility to speak out against these factions and disassociate with the Islamic leaders who promote them. As a Christian, I have a need to speak out against the Fred Phelps of this world, and I have. Muslims have an equal responsibility to speak out against their own extremists.

They've been doing it for years. Like I said, silence shouldn't be tolerated anymore. Either rail against the people who commit such hateful acts, or be considered part of the problem.

Good article.

Wow....thank you!

It kind of removed all doubt, didn't it?

I say unleash the fury of the West on these cretens

Me too. Because up til now, we've played nicely. We've been all touchy feely and nicey nice, and that needs to end. They need to feel the full force of western civilization with no regard for their sensitivities and culture. They sure as hell haven't shown us the same courtesies.

The sad thing is that that's the kind of thing they tell their kids about us (as in westerners).

You always have to be the voice of dissent, don't you cacto? The one who prides himself on being sane and rational in the midst of racists and retards? How does it feel to be so intellectually superior? To be the only cultured peanut in the turd? It's got to be hard work.

We go through this every single time though - it's the clearest argument for personal cyclical history I've ever seen. I'm pretty much fed up with it. The refutations of terror are easy to find. But those who say moderate Muslims don't protest terror can't be bothered to look for them. So I'm over it. I may as well join the bandwagon and accept that you can't seperate someone who has better things to do with their time than meet the expectations and requirements of foreigners - presumably by forcing mainstream media sources to translate moderate speeches and publish them? I'm unclear how that would be done peacefully, but it doesn't matter - from those who actively support terrorism, generally through western supported business interests. The Saudis come to mind as major supporters of terrorism who for political reasons are left untouched.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm 22; the chances of me having anywhere near as much knowledge on most issues as any of you guys is practically nil. But someone does have to speak for those with no voice, and I don't see anyone else stepping up.

That and I spent 12 months in a Muslim country last year and met so many peaceful and genuinely non-aggressive people it wasn't funny. Sure, there were the occasional nuts, but you see them in the west as well. The police kept a good eye on them though. I really hate it to see these people get tarred with the same brush as is applied to those they consider morally abhorent. Would you like to be considered the same as, say, Saddam Hussein or the Ayatollah Khomeini simply because your skin is slightly brown and you wear a jilbab?

Who's going to defend those people if I don't? Or don't they deserve to be spoken for? I won't comment again on this matter if you genuinely feel so incensed about it.

Your point is WELL received on this end, cacto.

Nope, arresting him was the right thing to do.

The Muslims were worse than he, but it isn't the crown's job to reward and punish. It is the crown's job to keep the peace.

And while the non-Muslims of England are wise and tolerant not to act violently against Muslims provoking them, the same cannot be said about England's Muslims, unfortunately.

Hence, the police had to arrest the man to keep the peace. It was absolutely correct, it just wasn't justice. But justice isn't the police's job. Justice is the court's job.
