    I get the point he was trying to make but it would have been better to reference Spanish law. unless they do have a First Amendment and he was referencing Spanish law. I don't know, I've never studied it.
    Yes, because it, like the rest of Europe, is an extension of America.

    Democracy!!!

    Jews get their panties in a twist just as much as Muslims do.

    At first I found the op post and signature ironic. Then I remembered we are talking about a muslim. I'm anti-religion to the point that people who are atheistic like its a religion piss me off. I don't care if people believe a magic spirit is secretly in control of reality and you have to worship him so your "next" reality doesn't suck as bad as this one. But from the outside looking in, Islam is easily the most unaccepting religion, especially if you read stuff from the koran (idc how it's actually spelled) you see that friendly open minded muslims aren't like that because their religion dictates, they are being like that in spite of what their religion actually dictates.

    Of course Islam is one of the younger religions compared to Christianity, Paganism, or Hinduism. In fact, the age of Islam is somewhat similar to the age of Christianity when Christians were involved in the crusades. Yes, Islam is a young religion acting out like a teenager rebelling.

    This post is an example of why religion is terrible. It only manages to draw lines between people, lines that are so heavy people are willing to kill each other over them. When people tell me their religion brings peace I have to laugh.

    Unaccepting of outsiders? Converts? or others? Cause historically they have been pretty kind to the above three relative to Christians.

    Gonna reiterate Kuya's go away here. Islam is only ~500 years younger then Christianity. 300 if you start w/ the Council of Nicaea when 'modern' Christianity started to form. It's not a young teenager, you're an idiot, etc.

    Unaccepting relative to decent human beings. Fuck comparing people to the next worst thing. That doesn't justify shit.

    It's actually kinda sad to see. Every time Firas tries to make a post about freedom, he just ends up demonstrating that he has no real concept of what freedom is.

    I suppose naming a club Raganrok is offensive too?

    oh my god... every single relic weapon in FFXI is based off of someone's mytholog- err, religion! how long until King Arthur's descendants bomb Square Enix headquarters for using the term Excalibur?!

    I'm saying that for the better part of history, Muslims and Muslim theology WERE accepting of other people, Christians/Jews lived undisturbed in most of the Muslim world. Additionally, the religion is also quite accepting of converts to this day and the conversion rituals are very simple to go through. That's all I meant.

    I'm offended by the depiction of Thor in MvC3. He looks like he's going to suck donkey balls.

    I remember watching this in the news back in summer, old news are old.

    Iirc, the name was changed after receiving several death threats by some religion maniacs.

    Ballsy would be to call it Mecca, then have a statue of some dude behind the bar that pisses vodka and name the statue Muhammad. I think Firas' head would asplode, and the place would get bombed for sure.

    Well, it'd probably be awesome regardless.
    Though, it's a better name for a Scandinavian metal concert tour.
