Do you have any problems with terms the demonize all those that follow the teachings of Islam?
It is a two way street if you don't like the blind labeling of people.

I mean isn't part of being a schizophrenic that one has false beliefs, not being able to see what's "real"?
Isnt that like, everybody?
No one really knows, yet we all have our beliefs.
Scientists have been trying to see whats "real" for a few hundred years.
And current estimations are multiverse, holographic universe and computer simulation. We havent come very far.
Some scientists even say that reality isnt real at all, it just appears real. I think even Einstein said as much. Something along the lines of "the most persistent of illusions".

Are you a diagnosed schizo? I'm not. So if you're not, then that would be two people who aren't schizos, ergo it would mean not everybody.
I'm not interested in entertaining Matrix style "what is real?" scenarios. Sorry. Schizophrenia is real. End of.

There was nothing crazy about this Islamophobe he was coherent enough to bring up religion while he stabbed a man to death then he is coherent enough to not be labelled crazy and excused!

Yes Txn, I even think they plead insanity, but I'm not too sure how that went down or what the result was.
I had, in my mind, an inclination that the Sydney terrorist also had a screw loose but once the word muslim comes up and it's not the victim, they rarely look at mental incapacity as a reason.
The only reason I doubt this case, is because I hear voices and I've been through the "delusional paranoia" stage in 2012...
The only person I ever hurt backed me into a corner and having met other schizophrenics I've heard no stories of them "losing the plot" so to speak.
What's worse is this seems a premeditated attack to knock on someone's door with a blade and forcing himself in to attack the man...
That's hardly defensive or incoherent.
That's an execution imo.

Once again western double standards in action ..
Non-muslim kills someone theyre "mentally disabled" .. under influence of drugs .. etc.. etc... etc...
Muslim kills someone theyre a "terrorist" .. "extremist".."militant" .. etc.. etc.. etc...
One more to the body count resulting from charlie hebdo stirring hate .. yet that rag will be allowed to carry stirring hate .. after all free speach more important than human life or in working to build understanding and harmony within communities ..
We now return you to your normal programming of fearmongering.. hatespreading.. warmongering ...proudly sponsored by western governments ..

First thing Muslims need to do is condemn these acts of terror the days of standing by are over because other Muslims see this as approval of there actions. What should happen is there mosque should have condemned this even in Christianity I know the church would have immediately done so. And in fact probably excuminicated. Time for descent Muslims to stop the madness though sometimes I wonder if they don't out of fear they would be next.
