Firas' Islam Meccathread

**Antithesis** · 2010-12-10 10:09

Firas I believe that it is my god-given duty to rape the wife of every muslim on earth. When you get married, please present her to me so that I can practice my beliefs, which are sacred to me. If you don't, other people believe like me, you know, and one of them might be crazy. Therefore, you should respect my beliefs and let me bend that bitch over.

Spoiler: show

I question you gender every night. Every hour on the hour.

I like it better before the disclaimer edit, Alleya :/

As I said, this is old as fuck.

Here is one of the many links with the full story and resolution that are around. Probably most are in Spanish, though... The thing ended mid September.

Translation of the main points:

"La Meca" disco changes its name to "La Isla" (The Island) and will experience architectural modifications.
This is happening after receiving threats by radical muslim groups.
Changes will cost the owners around 100000 € (132420$).
Pedro Morata, one of the owners, said in the press conference they are only doing it for tranquility of their customers.

A hundred and thirty grand to modify the building? They should bill Mecca.

Sadly, you always have to hedge the obvious missing-the-point counterargument in these things. They go straight for it since their actual point is indefensible.

Sounds like soft-talk cultural relativism to me! BATTLE STATIONS.

Just in case anybody ever wonders why people who pay attention don't like religion.

Still waiting for a good reason to give a fuck what Firas thinks.

quoting this because there is no possible way it could be overstated. the true scope of a terrorist attack is almost always far greater than the physical damage done. if you don't believe that, go catch a flight and enjoy choosing between being groped and getting (virtually) naked in front of a stranger. and it's not the indecency I refer to - though that does suck - it's the fact that 9 years later, we're still so afraid that we'll put up with it.

Can I get both? A flight is a hell of a lot cheaper than a night at Diamond's, I could stand to save some money...

**Yuri-G** · 2010-12-10 12:10

you sure can! but you don't get to pick the agent. do you really want to play the "barbie vs. bubba" lottery?

hint: there are a lot more bubbas than barbies.

Since Muslims/Islam stole Mecca from its original polytheist owners in the first place, they really can't bitch about its name being used.

**Kuya** · 2010-12-10 13:25

I remember that thread i made about that gay kid being killed. I do recall a few people saying that he shouldn't have dressed/acted that way so he wouldn't have gotten killed. I wish i had the motivation to look through that thread to see if anybody who was for letting fear rule that kid's behaviour is now against letting fear rule criticisms/moking/making a reference to religions.

Before anybody criticizes me for bringing this up, i would just like to say Hitchens Syndrome.

But Kuya, don't you know double standards is part of freedom and the american way? The whole thing is bullshit and blown out of proportion. For such a peace loving religion, there sure seems to be a lot of violence and threats of violence being tossed around the second they are even remotely offended.
