Welldone you figured it all out. I confronted Si Modo with his Muslim bashing issue in his other threads but he kept dodging it whenever I bring it up. He does it all the time when it comes to Terrorism and Islam. Now its Honour Killings and Islam....LOL every organisation in the west that deals with Honour Killings has clearly explained it is part of a corrupted subculture and has nothing to do with Islam yet Mr Si Modo thinks it has everything to do with Islam I told you, he has nightmares about Islam

And I thanked you, and I read them. But it was still off-topic. How convenient you left that out.

Wow, and "I couldn't resist to have a dig" at a Muslim man who murdered his two teenage daughters and another Muslim man who strangled his teenage daughter. Yeah, you bet; I'll have a "dig" at them. I'll also have a "dig" at Iranians who stone women, legally. I'll also have a dig at countries who allow the possibility of a pardon for a Muslim man or son who murders a female family member becsause of shame. And. I'll have a dig at Muslim pundits who advocate beating disobeidient wives. You bet, I will "have a dig at them". More of a dig than NOW. You are something.

Better post it. If I am going to be slandered by you, you better build a rock-solid case.

Never? "Play innocent"? Looks like you are becoming unraveled.

And you've revealed yourself as an over-hyped emotional basketcase when one dares to show three recent murders of daughters who have been slain by their male family members. It's only "strong" evidence in your mind. [Emphasis mine] .... Check your kitty box; I bet it's in need of a cleaning.

Your perceptions are failing you (seems common here). Is that what he was doing? WOI asked a question about it I answered that question. I think it was a ridiculous thing to bring up, but I humored him by correcting then answering his question.

And NOW is a joke and I've said it several times. However, your blind rage when reading my posts allows you to miss so much. Bias indeed.

Better yet, switch to decaf.

[Emphasis mine] Your powers of observation are amazing.

You called me out on "Muslim bashing? Please demonstrate to all others who haven't the 'special powers" that you have to be able to see "Muslim bashing" (by the way, I've posted this exchange before in this thread. Your observation skills are not there):

************************************************** *****Poor terrorists who are Muslim. Big, bad, Si Modo dares to discuss them.

Oh, Captain Astute, Si Modo is a she. My numerous hints (and those of others) have been completely lost on you.

Hmmmmm, now where is that thread for making up crap about Si modo? Now I know three certain participants.

On a serious note, if one falsely calls wolf often enough, no one will be there when he really does need help.

Thank you for your concession and confirmation. Over and out.

Is that the "you're too stupid to know so I'm not going to tell you" tactic or is it the "I think I'll be so obscure so that no one knows what I am asking and I risk nothing" tactic? Both are pathethic tactics. It's called communication, but you must believe it is beneath you. Also, if you are in the "Si modo is a bigot" club, show evidence that I have generalized all Muslims. If not, then enjoy the club. It must be fun to make up stuff about others for some, because most think it's tactless.

You mean to say that it didn't occur to you that he was asking for a yes or no reply?

Once again:

Yes or no?

I called it too much. Good enough for you?

I'm well aware that you said it was too much, but does that mean that you do consider something with such little occurrence to be an Islamic characteristic -- yes or no?

The only reason anyone would need to ask me that question is because they bit - hook, line, and sinker - the bigot word being slung around in this thread toward me with no support whatsoever. Never did I say it, never will I say it. Only others HOPE I say it.

By the way, these three teenage girls are dead because the male members of their families who are Muslim killed them. Let's not forget that women are frequently stoned in Iran as it's allowed by law. Also, many theocracies based on Islam allow for pardons in the case of honor killings and their laws allow for beating "disobedient" wives. And NOW says nothing about these crimes on our soil.

“part” of being an American no, but its pervasive in our culture...frontier mentality, 2nd amendment, our media re: TV schlock, we certainly have created a playing field where in violence surrounds us....

I measure such things on a statistical basis Daisym; one can argue about 'honour killings' until the cows come home but the statistics are the tell tale sign.

Oh and thanks for the compliment; I tend to avoid philosophical and theological debates when measuring the costs vs: benefits of diversity.

However, as illustrated earlier I will clear up theological misconceptions regarding holy texts; you should see my criticisms of the Babylonian Talmud...

Well, if nothing else, we can dispense with this business about the "you're too stupid to know so I'm not going to tell you" tactic or is it the 'I think I'll be so obscure so that no one knows what I am asking and I risk nothing' tactic?"


Has it occurred to you that these sorts of incidents are indicative of tribalism rather than Islam?

Also, the US has a tendency to fund the most virulently violent in these societies, i.e. the mujahadeen in Afghanistan, which is completely antithetical to bringing them out of the dark ages. It's sad to say but Afghanistan was better off under the pro-Soviet regimes of the 70's than what we had to offer them. All we cared about was weakening the Soviets, and once that was accomplished, we turned our backs on them. With respect to Saudi Arabia and the debauched Saudi royals, all we care about is the oil.

So you see, America really isn't in a position from which to render moral judgements from on high. Perhaps if we get our act together and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, morally speaking, we will someday be a positive voice for change.

Didn't one of the thread participants supporting the position of religion generating violence recently do a long thread on an emotional hatred of Muslims (eventually adjusted to extremist Muslims) due to losing friends/family or such in 911?

And was that participant "supporting
