Iranian cleric: earthquakes happen because of promiscuous women

[wop]

It's either Muslims are extremely susceptible to brain wash (aka really stupid), or Islam has some supersecret regime that could make all these people do retarded things.

I tend to go with the former.

We used to have this sort of jokes whilst in school (I was educated in a muslim country) because they aren't just quite as bright.

4 people (Superman, Batman, a stupid Muslim, and an intelligent Muslim) sat at each corner of a perfect square table, there's a piece of gold in the middle.

All of 4 them grabbed the gold simultaneously, who gets it?

The stupid one will of course, because the rest don't exist.

Don't mind wop, he is just fighting one of his homosexual urges.

I thought earthquakes were caused by gays.

Does this mean it's twice as strong when caused by lesbians?

Only if they are promiscuous.

The real question here is this:

Is California filled with earthquakes because of all the dirty hoes, or are all the dirty hoes subconsciously attracted to California by the earthquakes?

Zionists and the majority of Christian sects truly don't hold a candle to the cultural destruction carried out in the name of Allah.

Sophistry.

Zionism is a destabilizing ideology. Creating a Jewish State (led by European Jews) on top of an indigenous population in a region that was overwhelmingly non-Jewish was ASKING for problems.

Hence, why Zionism requires tremendous PR, war, subjugation of the natives (the Occupation, 40+ years), etc. etc.

And how you 'measure' Islamic insanity versus other craziness during that time period is beyond me.

It reminds me of one of Kurt Vonnegut's last public appearances (The Daily Show):

I have wanted to give Iraq a lesson in democracy — because we’re experienced with it, you know. And, in democracy, after a hundred years, you have to let your slaves go. And, after a hundred and fifty years, you have to let your women vote. And, at the beginning of democracy, is that quite a bit of genocide and ethnic cleansing is quite okay. And that’s what’s going on now.

And, I favorite'd this article awhile back, because I wanted to buy the books reviewed therein.

The Crusades: The War for the Holy Land by Thomas Asbridge and Holy Warriors: A Modern History of the Crusades by Jonathan Phillips: Malise Ruthven admires two books that ask how modern conflicts have come to be clothed in the language of medieval holy wars

Excerpt:

Religious fervour added heroism to the conflict, but also cruelty. Both writers enliven their narratives with blood-curdling details culled from Muslim and Frankish sources: the decapitated heads of prisoners paraded on spikes to humiliate and enrage the enemy; battlefields where dead horses resembled hedgehogs from the quantity of arrows sticking into them; winter sieges where the people "tormented by the madness of starvation, cut pieces of flesh from the buttocks of dead Saracens, which they cooked and ate insufficiently roasted".

But there are also heartening examples of respect and even collaboration across the religious divide, with instances of tolerance and decency that belie images of "medieval" fanaticism. Asbridge has no doubt that the conflict was between the Franks and Levantines, rather than Christians and Muslims. "One fact is clear: in the Latin East, the primary division was not between Christians and Muslims but between Franks (that is to say, Latin Christians) and non-Franks (be they eastern Christian, Jewish or Muslim)."

The papacy's real agenda was revealed in the Fourth Crusade, when the crusaders sacked Constantinople in a campaign to install a short-lived puppet regime intended to extend papal rule over the eastern branches of Christendom. In the words of a Byzantine witness, the Franks thought nothing of violating nuns, "tearing children from mothers and mothers from children, treating the virgin with wanton shame in holy chapels, viewing with fear neither the wrath of God nor the vengeance of men". Another Greek writer contrasted the brutality of the westerners with the humane treatment the Muslim hero Saladin accorded to the people of Jerusalem, which he reconquered in 1187 (before it was again lost to Islam, briefly, in 1229).

No no, 911 was caused by gays.

I know its hard to keep track of all of this insanity, but that's just what it is.

I agree with all of this BUT measuring the ~40-60 years versus the Muslim Caliphate of Old is hardly a difficult numbers game to understand...

I wrote a whole lot, but just deleted it. I'm not comparing Zionism to the history of the Islamicate. Just talking about it, in and of itself.

Although, I'm missing your point as I now realize. You're right - Zionism isn't anything compared to stuff Muslims did centuries ago. However, it's kind of an unfair comparison. It's like when people justify colonialism by saying all States were founded that way.

I could turn around and say, well why not keep slaves or something. If our standards have risen, I think it's fair to bring up stuff that blatantly defies them. (But yea, I still agree. I don't want to give the impression that Zionism is like the stuff you mentioned earlier.)

that iranian cleric isnt going to decide to invade 3 countries and destroy your culutre, kill your children and suck your oil fields dry like your half baked christians/mormons/zionists do.

or maybe we're just overreacting.

Sorry - there's a difference between reporting on a very obscure cleric in Iran making an obviously retarded claim versus something more substantial that may show Iran (or Muslims) in a negative light.

Coverage of, for instance, the infighting in Nigeria between Muslims and Christians is suitable news, and by no means shows either faction in a positive light (nor is that really the intent, rather to direct attention to a very serious issue); but again I ask what's the point of such an article? Anything but antagonizing Iran (and/or Muslims)?

An obviously retarded claim? Obscure cleric?

I am pretty sure I watched Ahmedinajad go on CNN at Columbia and say there were no gays in Iran.

Or is he obscure as well?

Going by what I see showing up for Visiting hours at the two jails I work at, I'm going to say the second option there plow.
