Not trying to pick on you Shrunkensimon but based on a rebuttal you post ( as mirrored by some others on here ) has key points of reference.

Sorry, but does this deserve its own thread? No. As much as i sympathise for the girl, these things happen on a daily basis.


This particular 'thing' does not happen in North America ( Quite sure UK included ) on a daily basis. In that respect, good or bad threads get started for that reason.



This thread is just another place for people to come and shout how barbaric Islam is, and throwing in the line about how they are "the religion of peace". Get over yourselves, do i really need to list the crimes that the USA and UK have committed in the last 200 years?


I didn't really get that impression from the OP. Genuinely upset was what I interpreted it as.
I might also point out that Islam is alive and well in NA & UK..... I haven't seen anything about 'Honor Stonings' in Canada or the US. ( I don't get out much though.)


How about you spare a thought for all the children starving to death in Africa at this very moment, due to the exploitation of the West? Oh wait, thats just "sad", and only deserves a mention once a year during Red Nose day or some equivalent BS parade.


I hear and read about this pretty much everyday, via news, news channels, commercials, etc.


This thread is nothing more than an attempt to have a jab at the way other people function, in this case, people of Islam.


As I mentioned above, I don't feel the OP originally started the thread for those reasons(IMO, of course). Some others may have chimed in and sent that message, but that is apparent in most threads of any nature, regardless of the topic.

And I also don't believe all or even most of the Islamic people in the WORLD 'function' this way. The people in the video are 'killing for fun' and hiding it under 'Cultural justice'... nothing more.

Do something useful instead of just spreading more hate, jesus!


'Spreading more hate' & ' Jesus' in the same sentence may be offensive to some as they may take it as a 'jab' against Christianity.

Look, different cultures deal with things in different ways. Whats normal to us, is wacky and crazy to another culture, and vica versa. Ive already said that what they did was wrong, and it is sad that people still have to resort to this kind of barbaric behaviour..

But as much as it is sad, it does NOT require its own thread. Let me use a little analogy here..

We all know about the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.. we have memorial days every year, its forced down our throats so that we never forget.. yet, where is the memorial for all the other holocausts that have taken place, ones where the numbers of people killed are more than double that of the Nazi Holocaust. How about all the people killed in the Russian Holocaust?..

Im not accusing the OP by the way, it would be wrong for me to do so, since i know nothing about them, or their history.

But these threads pop up in just about every forum across the web, trying to foster the idea that Islam is a perverted religion etc.

Heres two quotes from page 6 of this thread;

"They have a very undeveloped mind, the bible talks about people that were stoned to death, and that's thousands of years ago, but still after many, many generations these people haven't civilized yet. What a shame, what shame. Talk about slow evolution."

and

"You know, I have tried to be civil about this; I have tried to be fair; but, I am sorry, these people are just sick. They have an illness that there is no cure for.

The inevitable is coming for them though, sooner or later."

You see, its the "us vs them" mentality. They are "beyond help", and we must get rid of them, because they are a cancer etc..

Its threads like these that help to foster that idea, to foster the islamophobia.

Im not sure what else to say to get my point across..
