A couple of things I need to get off my chest...

Tired Of Holding Back

Disappointment is not the word that comes to mind, when I look into the face of ignorance surrounding the ways individuals are expressing their
fears.

Reflecting on the integrity of the service I received when I had my priorities mixed up, puts me at a loss of words.Either way the emphasis here, is on becoming more familiar with the principles that bring everyone together.

So when I see the name of Islam (Peace be upon him.) dragged through the mud,I know they have no idea of where he is coming from...

[EX]NON-VIOLENCE

A snake in the village had bitten so many people that few dared go into the fields.Such was the Master's holiness that he was said to have tamed the snake and persuaded it to practice the discipline of non-violence....

I like the post, but is the phrase 'Islam, peace be upon him' correct? Wouldn't it be an actual person followed by 'Peace be upon him'?

It's a heap of meanings, you need a language scholar who can make the right or best interpretation in the context of a religion that follows a God.

I would wonder why you are more disappointed in the fearful than the ones causing the fear by doing nasty things in Peace Be Upon Him's name.

Im pretty sure facebook and ATS pull from the same pool of people. Fallable human beings who have fears and responses that may differ from others. It will always be odd to me why some feel ATS is somehow like the Promethians.. like there is some higher plane of existence that its members float down from upon high to join.

Well, I mean I did... but Im special.

Having no idea who you referring to on (peace be upon him) I should not be killed, tortured or disfigured because I don't believe in your beliefs, that is the problem, those of us who are not of the faith of Islam are looked down upon and the only way to deal with our beliefs are to attack our principals and our morals on how we live, so what, I am educated, my wife is educated and works, I do dishes, laundry, cook and clean to satisfy my beliefs and morals to my family.

the one belief that we should all have no matter what faith you are is simple.

You shall not murder.

You mean collective thumb up in their ass


even though it collects from the same pool of humans.
on a conspiracy forum my expectations are that people are interested in the "conspiracies" they write and discuss about, while on facebook not everyone cares about those subjects.
If I want to know something about car repair I go to a mechanic, if I want to know about architecture I talk to an architect or their critics. If they let me down on their knowledge it would disappoint me more then when I just ask the 3rd woman or the 6th man that passes me and they won't know.

But hey if you expect the same from every one be my guest, must be interesting
