Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

ooh porno mag have a purpose, but i dont think the cartoon did.

Yes it does.

Cartoon...Presents one person's opinion publicly, an opinion which may quite often be shared by others. "an often humorous or satirical drawing to evoke emotions, usually with a caption".

Didnt you pay attention in english....jeez *shakes head*

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper

Say these clowns just stop trade and such with any country that prints the cartoons, and say that the majority of the Western world prints the cartoons...who is this cease trade going to hurt the most?

All in all these arse clowns are merely shooting themselves in the foot. I just wish they'd be less destructive in their eventual downfall.

Just a general observation.

Countries with a predominantly Christian background are moderately peaceful countries. Like Australia, America, England, not necessarily Ireland, but you get my drift. Predominantly Muslim countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc have been in civil war for thousands of years. They're still fighting over the same piece of ground in the year 2006.
I just think the religion is volatile in nature, but they're just looking for excuses to act out in a violent manner.

EVER WONDERED WHY THIS WAS SO? THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR 'THOUSAND OF YEARS' BECAUSE OF BRITAIN. BRITAIN FUCKED UP THE ENTIRE WORLD.

 

[katie_tully]

Britain, as an economic and militant force isn't old enough to have been fighting with you for thousands of years. The crusades werent until well after the first millenium. I also specified civil war, thus I was refering to the fact that you guys have a penchant for blowing yourselves up.

And yet, what you fail to recognise is that Iraq and Afghanistan would be peaceful nations if it werent for US foreign policy. As such it cannot be asserted that either of the two countries are any less peaceful than the US. I think you will also find that many western nations would still be fighting over territory if it werent for a backlash from the populace. Remember who the most imperial nations of the 20th century were. The US and Britain. Aside from this there is also the disparity between economic prosperity between the West and Muslim nations. Hence, Muslims nations are far more desperate to annex new territory for economic gain.

Yet you fail to realise I specified "civil war". The thing I can never understand about you tree huggers is when it is you want international forces to intervene. Iraq was not peaceful before American intervention. Iraqis were starving. They were impoverished. Now bleeding hearts say that we should donate OUR money to these poorer nations, yet we shouldn't intervene on a military level. Thus OUR money can continue to be squandered by their corrupt governments, they can continue to starve and you can continue to bitch about America, Britain and capitalism.

[katie_tully]

Tis always somebody elses fault

Um so should we start a list of the most impoverished nations of the world. I think youll find Iraq wasnt doing so badly before US military occupation. The bottom line is that there are many nations who are much much more desperate for aid (not neccesarily monetary) than Iraq was. Further, with respect to corruptness of government, you will in fact find many of the African nations such as Zimbabwe and the Sudan to be far more corrupt than Saddam Hussein was in Iraq. Up until the Iran and Iraq war, the US in fact was a monetary and military supporter of the Iraq regime of Saddam Hussein. So what changed so rapidly as to make him any more of a tyrnanical dictator. I think youll find the central reasonm has less to do with Saddam Hussein and more to do with protecting the interests of the Israeli state and, of course, oil.

I think the fundamental flaw in your ideology is that you believe you can just replace economic and political structures over the span of a few years. As was seen with communism in russia and countless forceful annexations of land, it just doesnt work. Economic and political system have to evolve with the needs of the people. Super-imposing ideologies of the west onto a predominantly muslim canvas is non-sensical.
