sqa just so you konw demigod is a forum rank not the name, you find the names in the magenta band above the post
but i think you were talking to leon? And I'd completely agree, these kinds of naive, mindless blanket statements, eg "all the killings there done by muslims,not by chirstians,not by jews,not by other religons.", are a perfect example of media brainwashing with no basis in fact or realist.
Watch this before it is taken off the WEB!.......

Sqa, as phoenix said, demigod isn't his name, it's his rank.
Just as you are sqa, and not "newbie."
And the only Demigod to post multiple times in this thread is Leon, who is Israeli. So, please don't talk about "typical Americans" since apparently you can not even understand the most basic geographic, political, and cultural boundaries of the entire world.

You guys know those damn brochure things they have at really touristy hotels and "welcome centers" in cities all over the globe? You know the ones that have all the colors, bold print, that have something to do on every type of day, every season and has something for essentially every personality (the adventurous, the athletic, the scholarly or the Artistic), that covers about 95% of the population?
In essence every holy text, from whatever religion you can think of is essentially is just that...It is just one giant sales pitch that covers, literally hundreds of scenarios, and is aimed at nearly every kind of person that exists. These "holy texts" have been worked and reworked over thousands of years, either on paper, via word of mouth or "interpreted" to mean whatever the priest, Imam, Profit, cleric, friar, deacon, etc., is trying to "sell" to their audience. If these "holy individuals" need to explain or relate pretty much any topic or scenario, all they must have is a general knowledge of the "ancient texts" and can in essence rationalize pretty much any beautiful or horrific scenario/action you could possibly imagine. They also have "catch all" passages/phrases that answer for when the main texts make no sense, or are blatantly wrong historically factual. Things that were once deemed "historically accurate", are now deemed allegory.
These texts often contradict each other and allow for anyone to interpret them how they see fit. Just as the brochures at the hotel, the different passages are aimed at different groups, whether it be conservative, progressive, moderates and extremists. There is a little something for everybody, whether it's the KKK, Al-Qeada (or the like), the "christian coalition".
These books are used to ultimately used to spread...or rather "sell" their religion to pretty much any type of person imaginable. But ultimately, just like someone who is duped into buying that timeshare or something else that appears shiny and new...the people who are targeted are for the most part uneducated, poor, disadvantaged, unemployed, etc. Generally people who, typically are branded "down on their luck", either financially, mentally, physically or emotionally. They are the ones who typically fall victim to their sales pitches since they can be easily be strayed by sales techniques that have been perfected over many millennium. But it ultimately preys on most everyone's largest fear...the fear of death. And in some extreme cases, causes individuals to ignore their natural survival instinct and embrace death for a cause.
But the lady in the clip is pretty much spot on...but she leaves out the point about the lack of hope and crazy levels of poverty that most "extremists", are bred from. "Give someone something to live for, and they are less likely willing to die for something other than that which is most dear" (someone said something along those lines at some point...can't recall who though).
***Note I quickly typed out my thoughts before work, with a couple interruptions from the wife and kid...I didn't really get a chance to proofread or edit...but I think overall it makes its point. Let me know what you think.

Uh people, The Crusades were the removal and repelling of Isalm in Europe as this very same thing happened centuries ago as it does today. Today, Radical Isalm uses the guilt of people to run them over when they cry about being mistreated either before or after they kill people who don't convert to Isalm. The Crusades were not the conversion to Christianity but the protection of Christianity.
Today it's the same war but with the ability to kill more people.

That's the right attitude, chorizo! Moron....
Besides, they'll just end up being replaced by other religious followings who do the same thing. These kinds of wars and such aren't exclusive to Christianity/Islam, just crack open a history book. Fuck, people have been killing in the name of their god/religion since the thoughts existed.

angry_joe i agree with some of what you say but,radical islam enjoy the fact that it folowers are poor and unedcuteded in generll and in history,look how every time the "poor" guys have a vilonet riots they hold signs saying the jews making a Holocaust on there muslim "brothers" ,if this people knew history or had a grain of i.q they wouldnt say such things.
no one did horrible medical testing on the muslims,no one gas them to death in gas chambers,and more horrible things.
islamic leaders target poor and undelvop places on a purpose of finding broken spirts pepole,who are poor and not have got proper eduction.
chorizo you are dumb men.
we dont need to reason our defand agianst scums.
americans are brain washed by the media you say? ...right i guess they have news channels who focus 24/7 on missleading and incorect propoganda then actull reall news,oh wait sorry i was thinking al-gezira and the likes,my bad.
"Do whatever you want. Manufacturing the holy weapons is our mission and we know how to acquire weapons," Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for Hamas' armed wing, told a news conference.
hmm so to radical islam weapons are a holy thing?

who ever tought that morons will deafend terroist groups on the internet?
most people dont know and dont care about facts or reall history,so instead of learning first and typing later,they just type stupidty and hatred in forums.
and when some of the morons actully bother to learn history they rely on unrelibe sources like wiki and google.

As someone else pointed out, that's not remotely true. Fundamentally religious movements of the Christian, Hindu, Jewish and many other religions have been just as bad if not worse. The part of your response I quoted couldn't possibly be more wrong.
I also saw others attempt to point that out to you, Leon, and I saw you blatantly ignore it or deny it - and that's just not accurate. You either haven't checked the facts in which case you have no credibility, or you are lying out your ass. Call a duck a duck.
Fundamentalist Islam is dangerous. So is fundamental Christianity. So is fundamental Athiesm. By and large, they're all pretty comparable in terms of the atrocities that are committed though, and to deny that is either irresponsible, a lie, or both.
Fundamentalist Islam is hardly the worst or most dangerous thing that's ever happened in human history.
You made quite the rant there railing against Islam in general, but it could easily apply to a great many religions. I'm not saying the things you pointed out about fundamental Islam are wrong - but they're not the only ones, not the worst in history, and you are flat out wrong when you assert that they are.
You made many statements and claims in this thread that simply are not accurate and that's the issue I am taking. Your argument is being lost because you're making things up (or don't know the facts).
You do yourself and the point you're trying to make a dis-service by doing so, and by failing to recognize the flaws of our ancestors and only pointing the finger at "someone else's."
You're hamstringing the points you're trying to make. A little credibility goes a long way.

Sure. If we only look at those things. And of course we need to ignore the fact that a large portion of those populations are also Christian. But for now let's pretend that this isn't the case (even though it is).
Kosovo anyone? Serbia? Bosnia? Herznegovinia? Albania? Hello... You're looking at this with tunnel vision and picking specific examples while ignoring many others that would run contrary to your cause.
Even if we just look at the examples that you mentioned however, those wars are being fought amongst a great many ethnicities, nationalities and religions - and this includes Christianity.
So... You're wrong.
You're not just wrong, but you're loud too.

Um... No.
The First Crusade was started by the Western powers in an attempt to capture Jerusalem (despite that it had otherwise and traditionally been open to people of all religions, including Jews).
leon2006 16 years ago
talking like this is bs coming from someone who suppose to be an Albanian.
i rewrite that reply into radical Islam so don't act as a dick,radical Islam is the worst thing happening to men kind,not normal Islam,still tough Islam has a bad way of dealing with other religions,including killing all that wont convert to Islam when doom day come.
if i may ask are you a Muslim?
Judaism is the oldest religion if you have forgotten,Christianity and Islam was a rip off of the bible/Judaism.
Jerusalem housed Jews before anyone else,the Jews was in the holy land before any other religions and people was there.
and the Jews never did crusades like Christianity and the Jews never did a lot of vilonet acts like Islam did.
fact is Jews got a lot of bad things happening to them because of jealousy/fanatics of other religions and countrys.
based on the fact that they are Jews they got a lot of trouble,they didn't behead other people,they live in peace and didn't bother no one,but evil try to control the world and take abuse at the good and kind people.
first of all you bitch about Jews yet you enter my threads(like where is fefe?) and enjoy them,yet afterwards you come over here and speak badly about Jews? this is a cowardly double standards/face act.
not everyone must speak English fluidly or speak it at all. why don't you bitch about japan and china lack of English?
more fun to target smaller populations?
i really didn't get you very well,you are saying there are some Muslims in Australia who want to build a masque and have trouble doing it cause of some Jews are against it?
are you from there? is this is a personal issue to you? you do realize that not every Jew is against a masque? don't sweep all the Jews into this rant just cause Australia got issues.
Germany don't want masques in its hoods,why don't you bitch about that? cause those who oppose the maques in Germany are Christians and not Jews right bud?
and you calling Jews a minority is both stupid and racist.
jealousy and anger will get you nowhere in life.

They're hardly the only ones. As I said before, I don't disagree with some of your points. What I disagree with are many (most) of your "facts" and the way you act as though Islam is the only religion in the world that suffers from this issue.

It's not the oldest religon. Animism is older than it, and it wasn't the first religion either. But I didn't forget the age of Judaism, nor did I ask. You're tossing this out as though it should be a point for your cause but no one asked, it has nothing to do with the topic, and you're once again - wait for it... Wait for it... Wrong.
Judaism is not the first religion man kind ever had. Others that still exist today pre-date it.
Get an education - or at least a muzzle. You do more harm than help to your own cause.
