No...if they are willing to do that to themselves/accept this as normal in their cultures, and a key tenet in their religion is the destruction of the west, imagine how they would be willing to treat us. Or, if they come over here to the west and bring their attitudes with them, we have to suffer the effects - just look at the cases of acid attacks on women in places like the UK etc. Not trying to be xenophobic here.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

Let me see now .. Christians practice self-flagellation ... here's a couple examples ... it's as much a normal part of the culture as it is in Islam ...
(I decided not to use the one of an actual crucification)
Christianity wants to take over the world (nearly succeeded .. )
How is it different ? (Oh yeah .. Moslems remember that Christian Knights (Crusaders) killed and ate Moslems ... They remember Christians as Cannibals ... which is why they freaked out when Geo W BUsh declared a "New Cursade" .. they though "Here come the cannibals to eat us again ...")
What could be worse than being eaten - and "we" did it to "them" ... wouldn't you want to kill off the cannibals too .. How would YOU be willing to treat the cannibals who ate your folks?
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Bwhahahaha .. yeah ... none of us has the moral high ground on the basis of the past of our cultures ... human beings are a violent, blood-thirst bunch - the most dangerous animal on the planet ... we've been hacking and killing each other for thousnads of years ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Would you say there are many impressionable young minds on here?
Youtube is a form of media which has brought an enormous amount of seriously disturbing viewing within grasp of the young and gullible alike.
As a parent, I am of course conscious it is my responsibility to monitor what my children see on there, and I monitor very closely indeed.
But not everyone takes it seriously. I see for example my 14 and 16 year old nephews watching and giggling at people smacking the crap out of each other with baseball bats and I know they've had access to stuff like that for years.
When hurting another human being becomes a matter of hilarity, to me that is crossing a line and dissociating yourself from the safe "right and wrong" moral pattern.
Maybe I'm just growing old and grumpy![]()
1) Self Flagellation is used by Catholics, arguably rather different to mainstream Christianity. It is in no way "part of normal culture".
2) I would love you to point to documented cases of Knights eating Moslems as part of their "normal culture". There may have been isolated incidents, but I think that you'll be hard pressed to show it as part of a social norm. Also, you may find that the reports of cannibalism came during times of famine, when the people were starving and there was little food around. hence the eating of the bodies of the defeated. History is full of cases like this, not just of Christians either. FFS...you don't have to look hard for evidence of the Maori eating their enemies...
3)I am NOT saying that what happened in the Crusades wasn't horrendous, it was. However, Moslems in the name of Islam where carrying out this type of violence long before the Crusades, but then arguably so was the Church (again, predominantly Roman Catholic at this point in time). However, the Moslems were complicit in starting the wars of the Crusades and had oppressed many other "pagan" nations prior.
Using cannibalism as the basis for your argument only works to weaken your case.

Hell yes .. young ? Maybe not - impressionable? Fuck yeah .. can sell them anything ..
See - I don't have that responsibility - no kids ... isn't celibacy wonderfulYoutube is a form of media which has brought an enormous amount of seriously disturbing viewing within grasp of the young and gullible alike.

Yeah .. know what you mean .. its worrying ... even that bunch of dickheads who make films of them hurting themselves (can't remember what they cal themselves ..) are a worry ..But not everyone takes it seriously.

Old is a state of mind .... and your arse is too cute to be old yet.
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Yeah ... me too ..
but what about them and their freedom ??? Amerika invaded - promising Freedom and Democracy .. does freedom include the freedom NOT to have a democracy??? (I mean in their own country - not ours ... they come here ... they live our way - or keep it behind closed doors between consenting adults)
And just between you and me ... what if they are right? What if one day, after you die, you are standing before the throne of Al-Lah . who is holding the Qu'ran - and demanding to know why you did not follow his prophet ??? Demanding to know why you disobeyed his command and drank alcohol (even though you knew the word of the prophet forbade this) ... slept with woman (or men) other than one of your wives (even though you knew the word of fthe prophet forbade this too ..)
What if he demanded to know why you did nopt spread the word of his prophet in our land - even though you knew the words of the prophet existed and shoud be spread to all lands?
Are you going to smile and say Allahu Snackbar??? (SmokeU can be funny sometimes)
Methinks you will shit bricks ...
