loaaaads of people trapped inside islam have been waiting for the west to talk about them. they hoped we would help liberate them the way we liberated ourselves from religion. afterall we were the free ones and our only real task was to listen to people all over the world who were not as free as us.
but we said our freedom must not be exported or shared. chomsky greenwald all of those guys..they said it was imperialism. they even said our modern freedom was secretly evil. and the immigrants who we claimed were now equal citizens in our countries were treated as if they didnt need our 'white' freedoms. thats racist guys.

Ampi, I think you need to be more analytical, literally, in the sense of taking things apart instead of putting them together. You're trying to eat something bigger than your head in one bite, glomming all these different issues together, looking for a single solution to a lot of disparate problems.

It means that there's a widely held belief that criticising Islam, or drawing a cartoon, is somehow conflatable with the act of murdering people en masse in cold blood. Pity you're yet another depressing apologist. But not suprising.

no, i would read him the chapter of a book i'm reading about the relationship between sufism and taoism and make things clear about what's coming from islamic passage in terms of knowledge to the west and then talk. i'm not muslim yet i have to apologize cos of a surname, that's pretty funny indeed. imagine if i was a muslim. i would not be ashamed to say the same things.

It was a metaphor. It's touchy subject, and I think we're all being touchy, maybe a tad defensive when we don't need to be.
I'm so full of love right now. I don't give a fuck. I'm fed up with this idea that we have to choose a side. As if it was compulsory for a human, so he can have an identity. So that he can be defined.
Atheist or believer, politically on the left or on the right, republican or democrat, creationist or evolutionist. I say fuck it all. I doubt the truth is only in one place.

This is a good read. Enlightening but chilling.
Writing ISIS off as nothing more than non-Muslim psychos is naive and dangerous. The atrocities aren't the result of distorting sections of the Koran, but taking them literally.
I don't have any solutions, I only hope they destroy themselves.

RussellDust - Massive props my friend, you have a strong grasp on what's really going on within the arab/muslim identity. BTW Lebanon is shag central dude you must visit.
SignedUpToLOL - I understand where you're coming from. While most muslims wouldn't understand you (literally), I'm personally keen on dialogue. I see a parallel between (what I think is) your perspective, and my own brother's.

You're looking for a political ideology that solves and integrates politics, economics, culture, ethnicity, religion, secularism, art, music, international relations... you don't want an ideology, you want a messiah.

Mr. motown - You said it right unfortunately, the constant chaos and air-time coverage shows us that da3esh (our name for isis) have in fact become the loudest voice in the region. Young generations coming to age will have never known a thriving and peaceful middle east. This is how history repeats itself my friends.

I've been a hot-headed ass in this thread and I genuinely apoligise, in particular to debaser and XLT's mohammed. I guess it's hard to criticise something BIG and highly inflammable without upsetting blameless indiviuduals, something I really don't want to do. I hope the extremists burn themselves out, that they cause such repulsion across the board that they are rejected and no longer supported or able to operate. I guess we have to do what we are able to accomplish ourselves, in our own environment. Do what we can to counter unreason, be kind, and be understanding. And please, try not to set fire to each other.

shit i been giving u dudes loads of articles like that. its like u never noticed but FINE whatever ykno.
LAZY_TITLE
Today, people in the West tend to believe the ills of the age are racism, colonialism, and militarism. The world’s only Jewish country has done less harm than most countries on earth, and more good—and yet when people went looking for a country that would symbolize the sins of our new post-colonial, post-militaristic, post-ethnic dream-world, the country they chose was this one.
When the people responsible for explaining the world to the world, journalists, cover the Jews’ war as more worthy of attention than any other, when they portray the Jews of Israel as the party obviously in the wrong, when they omit all possible justifications for the Jews’ actions and obscure the true face of their enemies, what they are saying to their readers—whether they intend to or not—is that Jews are the worst people on earth. The Jews are a symbol of the evils that civilized people are taught from an early age to abhor. International press coverage has become a morality play starring a familiar villain.
--- i suppose this article is too ziocon for u fleetmouse? i feel it helps explain the point i made in [#02484579] which u said was crazy. like i was searching for god or somthing.. bit insulted tbh

good link indeed, thx.
----------------------------- and here's my rant below:
I don't think Isis give any amount of shit whether people here at xltronic read or not. They seem not to listen to or read any of the western world "bullshit". Remember Fahrenheit 451 ? That's what will happen to the world today.
The western world is used to endlessly babbling about things. Sometimes it's shocking how much we're steered by media constantly jumping from topic to topic. While recently watching Nightcrawler I thought about those things - how media-driven society "we" are. "We at xltronic" - people from "democratic" and "civilised" countries. So educated, so advanced. And yet, with all our laws, regulations, UN, NATO, EU etc. we seem helpless when some tyrants like Putin appear. Who sends troops and pretends nothing happened.
Sorry to any US citizens here, but all I can hear Obama and the rest of the *good* guys - his european buddies - say is "terrorism must be stopped. something must be done" *applause*. Peace Noble price ! WOW ! While in the meantime those islamic bad guys reply "stop my ass" and videotape cutting another throat. That's my "average citizen" view of things. In a pill. This is all ridiculous. Maybe agent Smith from Matrix was right: humans are a disease, a virus killing this planet. They will most likely burn themselves in the name of abstract ideas.
And here's Tom with the weather
