What I want to know -- is who is inciting them?

How the fuck did every radical Muslim in every corner of the world FIND AND WATCH this shitty home-made offensive video on youtube, when literally nobody in America even knew it existed?

And if they haven't actually watched it, who's word are they taking that it's worth killing over?

And why do they blame an entire nation (unaware and unconcerned with its existence) over it?

Who is manipulating these people to act so far out of proportion?

[–]jesset77 17 points18 points ago

None of them watched it.

Individuals were not offended by the film. Religious leaders told their followers that a film existed, and that it was evil, it made fun of their mother, and that's all the followers needed to know. Religious zealots of any cloth are not famous for needing to see things with their own eyes in order to murder things in response.

The only reason the film actually exists is because the same leaders had one thrown together as shlockily as possible and uploaded to youtube, as a red herring for us.

In turn, the entire spectacle exists as flack to keep international attention off of the Syrian revolution and Iranian nuclear programs, which were beginning to come to a head.

[–]thebarmyswami 7 points8 points ago

They're called mosques. Seriously. Not all mosques, of course. But there are some that have really rabid imams (priests).

But it's a saturday night! You should go out and...

[–]finnthehuman11 10 points11 points ago

So we have more violence on the part of radical Islam involving the uncensored mocking (or not) portrayal of Mohammad? The Islamic population is not represented by fanatics. It is frustrating to see Islamic people suffer as a stereotype of the radicals that onlookers see on the news.

[–]effyocouch1791 7 points8 points ago

A few extremists that are blown up by the media do not represent the 1 billion+ people of Islam.

[–]alphawolfgang 4 points5 points ago

what about the hundreds of thousands that do crazy shit?

or are we going to start talking about christianity and the crusades?

[–]Kirxcy -1 points0 points ago

Hate reddit sometimes. Instead of replying to your valid point, they downvote you because they have lost the argument.

[–]alphawolfgang 0 points1 point ago

thank you. i agree. 90%+ of the time o criticize islam i get the response that i am a christian extremist, and that i am racist, and talk about the crusades and what christians did..... I DONT CARE what christians DID 1000 years ago, i care about what happens right now at this time. i have slight christian beliefs, but to call me a christian would be lying. i am just a dude who believes there is a higher power somehow, and that we need to unite for peace and reach to the stars.... and then there is islam, which to me is very offensive in a large part, i have studied the qur'an, medina and mecca, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. but i am not basing my anti islamic stance on the book alone, it is also based on modern day actions, on how a dude in america will say he will burn qur'ans and people across the world freak out and KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE based on what some guy across the globe MIGHT do..... that guy never even did it! just said he would. islam does have some peaceful parts in it, but the later mecca versions were much more violent due to political power. thats all it is, is politics. i would happily be friends with a muslim person, but if you go off talking like a jihadist you're dead to me. the west has a problem, we think that islam is like the irish, mexicans, and chinese etc etc, that they will just assimilate into the group collective... they wont. islam is islam. look at history and LEAN YOU SOME! shit dont change because internet exists! yet.

[–]Shagoosty 2 points3 points ago

As an atheist, I point out when movies like Dogma and the Last Temptation of Christ came out and Christians protested it. Do you know how many people got killed in those protests? Zero, because Christians got out of their violent phase after the Spanish Inquisition. (Except for maybe the 18th century witch hunts.)

[–]_Particle_Man_ -2 points-1 points ago

[–]JB_UK 5 points6 points ago

Aren't cats protected in Islam? Something about being favoured by Mohammed? I was told that's why people leave food out for stray cats in Morocco.

Have we tried cat pics as international diplomacy?

[–]TruthOasis 1 point2 points ago

All animals are protected in Islam from abuse, misuse, and poor treatment.

I think he was going for the South Park angle with this one. Good thing you killed it before it started

[–]dildofagginsthegay 4 points5 points ago

I lived for 7 years in Pakistan during the 1990's and actually converted to Islam myself when I was in college, and here's my understanding of this.

Most of the people in these Muslim countries are oppressed and believe that the U.S. pushes a policy that keeps dictators in power in Muslim countries. This prevents economic aspirations, etc. etc.

Meanwhile, there's an entirely separate breed within their population. Imagine film noire crime, and now imagine these types of organizations specifically target youth and especially the uneducated. They introduce them to Islam by teaching them about the tenderness and kindness of God. Once they have their attention, they divert the message and create fabrications that killing yourself in the name of God will get you to heaven. Meanwhile, said orgs (especially in Pakistan) have a mafia around the water supply, electricity, and do everything they possibly can control politics. Scared the other guy is going to win the election? Let's pay someone to go do a drive-by shooting at Friday mosque prayers at a Shia mosque so that the Shias rise in numbers and retaliate against the Sunni population. Keep the locals busy destroying each other while we quietly accept loans from organizations like the IMF or World Bank and funnel the money into our own bank accounts in Switzerland.

Now I will mention that for most of these people (even in a bigger city like Karachi but definitely villages) - These people do not have access to the internet. They don't know about ipods, healthcare, fresh water, etc. They only thing many of these people hold dear is religion itself.

People are wondering why it's a big deal - why are there protests like there are - Here's the thing. The way we feel in our society about our beer, cell phones, internet, cars, etc. If you can take all these things out from your life and your life is based on one thing you hold sacred - of course you are going to rage when someone insults it. I think in the western world this is hard for us to comprehend, mainly since our society is based much more on material things.

I'm not justifying what happened. Obviously it's tragic. I've had these discussions with people at my mosque. WHY is it that when ~300 people die in a factory fire in Pakistan, WHERE are all these people? When a Christian girl is blamed and people are up in arms and then the "Imam" accepts he fabricated the whole thing, where are all these people?

The problem is widespread ignorance - a lack of education. I will say though that whoever made this film had already done his calculations. I don't think there should be any limit to free speech. However, should he have done this? No. These people come out and start attacking U.S. consulates whenever some video or cartoon is drawn. The purpose of the video was to do this exactly, and in the end, this man that made the video won.

[–]jesset77 3 points4 points ago

My question is, what is the purpose of converting to Islam if this is the state of the Islam world? If it's people are impoverished and go unfed and become so easily misled and co-opted by organized crime that even human life is directly forfeit to their personal pride, then how is this the intent of Allah? How is this an example to any other people of a superior moral path?

Why do these people cling to and support values which only serve to starve them and drive them mad?

[–]x_x_x_x_x 0 points1 point ago

This is a nice response and an interesting perspective. I wish there were more Muslims like and you and took more active roles in enlightening fellow Muslims.

[–]Maxables 8 points9 points ago

Being animals.

Which has nothing to do with their religion.

Well..l except for the part where they justify violence with their holy book, which totally tells them it's cool to lop people's heads off for defaming the prophet.

[–]Funk_Munki 23 points24 points ago

What the hell did I miss?

[–]SuperEditorMan 12 points13 points ago

Some guy made a short film that portrayed Islam in a negative light. A whooole ton of people responded by storming a US embassy and killing a bunch of innocent people over it. Now there are crowds of Muslims all over storming government buildings, threatening to murder people, etc. It's going on in several countries. If you check out /r/politics and /r/worldnews you'll find plenty more info.

[–]alphawolfgang 4 points5 points ago

do you know how many anti islam videos ive seen?!?! why is this sudden news? and why do people care about what some dude across the world on the internet says?!? bah, humans be dumb!

[–]jenchan13 5 points6 points ago

Because the production values were really bad.

[–]LegioXIV 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, you should have seen the riots after Gigli was released.

[–]feared_rear_admiral 1 point2 points ago

and yet none in the US, where the video was actually made.

[–]diversionmary 0 points1 point ago

A guy made a video, Muslims are rioting, and also an embassy was stormed and an ambassador was killed. Before his body turned up, there are a few hours where no one knows where he was, or how he ended up at a hospital.

Articles coming out today describe the riot and the people who stormed the American embassy as two different groups.

[–]amnotforcocoa 1 point2 points ago

Oh, go to two of the worst subreddits to find out more? I'll sit this one out. Or google it.

[–]finnthehuman11 6 points7 points ago

[–]SuperEditorMan 15 points16 points ago

Yes... I replied to Funk_Munki with the following explanation:

[–]Francobello 5 points6 points ago

So this is basically what they're doing in a nutshell

We are not violent! Fuck you! *throws rock Fuck You! * throws moltov Get the fuck Backk!!! * punch to the face Fuck you for calling me violent!!!! *repeatedly stabs someone in the neck with glass shards

They are just proving themselves wrong basically. It's the truth. I have about 3 muslim friends and they are cool so you cant say I am discriminating muslims. That is all

[–]toThe9thPower 13 points14 points ago

People try to apologize for them and act like we should respect their religion but the truth of the matter is they have a very clear doctrine that calls for the destruction or conversion of all nonbelievers. They quite literally believe that Sharia law should govern the entire world. There are also 105 verses in the Quran calling for violence against non-Muslims. Even Mohammad himself says he values those who war with infidels more than those who sit at home in peace. If you are unaware, an infidel is anyone who is not a Muslim. This is not a religion of peace and there is no reason to simply accept it.

 

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

 

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

 

Link to the 105 verses calling for violence towards nonbelievers.

[–]despaxes 3 points4 points ago

You know what other religions say very similar things?

All of them.

Well,

Christianity

Judaism

Hinduism

Zoroastrianism

To name a few I feel comfortable backing the claims up

[–]toThe9thPower 1 point2 points ago

While I believe almost all religion is downright poisonous there is no way you can compare 105 verses and actually believing you have to kill or convert ALL nonbelievers with any of the fucked up shit in any other major religion. They certainly have some crazy shit but it does not even have hopes of touching the Islamic faith.

[–]AccusationsGW 1 point2 points ago

Ah, c'mon I like Zoroastrians :( What's the dirt on them?

[–]x_x_x_x_x 0 points1 point ago

Sources please? Just curious.

[–]Maxables 4 points5 points ago

The bible also says shit like this, but very few people take it seriously.

[–]toThe9thPower 4 points5 points ago

Well many Muslims do take this seriously. The bible is filled with bad shit and I don't think you are going to have a good time comparing Islam with something else I believe is harmful to humanity. Islam also has a very clear doctrine of violence towards those who do not believe as they do. The bad shit you talk about with Christianity is mostly in the old testament, something many Christians erroneously try to dismiss entirely.

 

Islam is bad, Christianity is bad. Most religions are in fact bad... So unless you got some better arguments you are essentially making a moot point right now.

[–]Bigblackball -3 points-2 points ago

Monotheists are believers. So Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

[–]monkeybut 0 points1 point ago

So its okay to kill atheists, hindus, buddhists, et cetera...

[–]Bigblackball -2 points-1 points ago

The Koran doesn't say to kill anybody.

[–]toThe9thPower 0 points1 point ago

Yes it does? What the fuck? There are 105 verses in the Quran specifically calling for war against nonbelievers. Did you even read my comment?

 

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

[–]Sickpost 1 point2 points ago

This is a real story I'm not exaggerating a bit. When 9/11 disaster happened I was only 11 years old the next day I went to school all the kids were fucking happy and thought that American deserved that. I was thinking WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPE. All the 9/11 victims were innocent. We were only 11 years-old in my class and they think it's a good thing the worst thing I hear Is when people say than not all muslims are like that. Well you bet your ass they're all fucking terrorists. To clear things. The story was in Iraq and I'm not muslims but I had to suffer from those yahoos and their fucked up religion. Now I live in Canada and I'm happy with my new life otherwise I would be dead by now for saying all that. My advice DON'T FUCKING LET ISLAM TAKE OVER...NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER. Their religion is based on killing others and zero democracy.

[–]had0ukenn 1 point2 points ago

ummm no where in there does it say to do that to random innocent people. Whether it be the Prophet who brought islam or Jesus, Moses, and all the other prophets listed in the bible and torah.

[–]single_version 5 points6 points ago

Like all religions, it's entirely up to interpretation as to who the "enemy" is. Islam has religious scholars who, depending on their political or ethical leanings, can slant the religion to fit an end. You'll find if you dig into this a bit more that it was mullahs who were stoking the flames among their followers.

[–]Pedobear_Slayer 4 points5 points ago

There's a reason why George Romero created the whole zombie thing as a representation of the "mob" mentality, it's so easy to take a group of people and whip them into a bloodthirsty frenzy and then just watch it take on a life of it's own growing more and more out of control.

That's what is happening right now, people are whipped up into a frenzy because of this retarded fucking video, among many other things that have been simmering, and it's going to cost a lot of lives before it cools down.

Yeah it sucks that the people that created and support the video can make something that they know will cause havoc in the world but Muslims need to learn that we are free over here and that means people are going to be able to do things that we don't agree with and lawfully get away with it and most likely have no punishment for it. The end result should be Muslims grow a thicker skin and develop a sense of humor and stop looking like the most ignorant people on the planet, because all in all the fundamentalist Christians should be the most ignorant people on the planet, stop stealing their spotlight.

TLDR: They need to learn they can't control the world around them till they grow a thicker skin and develop a sense of humor, stop being more ignorant than the ones that should be ridiculed for putting out this horrible garbage video.

It's time to play 'No True Scotsman'!

Today's question: who is the more authentic muslim?

Is it the murderous fanatic we see rioting in the press?
Or is it the quiet studious muslim studying his Koran at home?

Stay tuned for more details...

[–]HakeemAbdullah 4 points5 points ago

But in order to be a Muslim you have to follow certain rules. If you don't follow those rules then you aren't a Muslim.

If someone isn't born in Scotland and doesn't live there, then he is no true Scotsman.

i like this. more muslims need to be reasonable and represent themselves, not represent islam. when enough people start making more sense and start using rational decisions and not worrying about what some dude on the internet across the world is doing, itll be better. islam needs more moderates.

[–]hilarioussagittarius 2 points3 points ago

There will always be a portion of people who fuck things up for the rest, in every aspect of life.

Religion just provides one of many platforms. A religion can't fuck anything up, only people can.

I've met plenty of people who have silly beliefs (my opinion), yet they a super good people and get along with the world.

Religion doesn't cause people to become assholes. They weren't even born that way. They learned it from other assholes. It's essentially memetics.

To overcome it, we have to rise above it as a species. Unlikely in this epoch.

[–]JJaysNotHome -4 points-3 points ago

And without it America most likely would of never been found, along with multiple other events never happening.

[–]Reichbane -3 points-2 points ago

Would you care to explain?

[–]fishyguy13 3 points4 points ago

The three G's Glory Gold God One reason why Spain funded Columbus's expedition was to spread Christianity. No religion= no new world. We all know the Holocaust would of never happened because of no Judaism. And finally, we wouldn't have stuff like Libya, that Muslim film, etc. etc.

[–]Reichbane 3 points4 points ago

But we've explored new frontiers in space and our own planet in the name of science. What is your opinion of religion's involvement in that?

[–]fishyguy13 0 points1 point ago

If we didn't find America there would be no NASA for space travel. I don't know much about space travel so I cant really answer anything that involves space.

[–]Reichbane 1 point2 points ago

Sorry I suppose my question wasn't phrased properly. I meant to imply that science has always motivated humanity to explore new frontiers (space and our own planet). Without religion, which has has a hand in inhibiting science, don't you think that we could have been further on than we are now?

I do have to say though, didn't Columbus rape and pillage? And the whole discovering America thing led to the genocide. Without religion we could have avoided that. What is your opinion on that? Do you believe that having religion is better than no religion at all?

[–]fishyguy13 0 points1 point ago

Yes I know religion isn't pretty, and no it isn't religions fault for Columbus's raping and pillaging, the king of Spain said get good and Columbus followed. And yes religion has had little to do with space travel but it has led to many discoveries, most of which I don't know of, but discoveries none the less.

[–]Reichbane 1 point2 points ago

Don't you think that his religion should have stopped him from raping and pillaging? It seems religion is always there to let people continue doing horrid things, wouldn't you say? Or that's unfair of me to say, I should say: religion doesn't seem to do a good job of keeping people from doing horrid things.

I would disagree with you in saying that religion has LED to many discoveries, I would say that religion has been AROUND for many discoveries, inhibiting some and letting others continue. I understand you don't know much about what religion has led to, but I have to ask again: do you think having religion is better than not having religion? And in which ways?

[–]fishyguy13 -2 points-1 points ago

Religion explained the what, how, and why before science so yes it is good to have religion in some ways. Now good might sir and may you enjoy your day.

[–]olcoil 1 point2 points ago

You that movie? I tried watching it and it totally sucks and doesn't make sense.
