To my fellow Muslims.....

huey350 · 2012-09-16T00:44:48+00:00

what breed of cat is that?

farmthis · 2012-09-16T02:17:39+00:00

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?

Povidius · 2012-09-16T02:17:49+00:00

Great, now they are gonna kill cats. Thanks for fucking it up, asshole!

Zaidy721 · 2012-09-16T01:59:43+00:00

Well let's see. I'm eating a plate of rice and curry while browsing the many pages of reddit. How 'bout you OP? What the fuck are you doing?

finnthehuman11 · 2012-09-16T01:54:25+00:00

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.

Best GIF ever.

brokendimension · 2012-09-16T03:15:02+00:00

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

JB_UK · 2012-09-16T03:04:56+00:00

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?

FasterHorses · 2012-09-15T21:39:03+00:00

Hey! Linking from my repo!

i_love_shrimp101 · 2012-09-16T02:46:58+00:00

Not all Muslims. You should've limited the Muslims you were talking about.

ET3RNA4 · 2012-09-16T03:24:47+00:00

I don't want to be "that Guy"...but its just the idiot, extremist Muslims that are condoning the violence.

bearkin1 · 2012-09-16T01:56:58+00:00

Don't call us your fellows, guy.

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.

Maxables · 2012-09-15T20:52:02+00:00

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.

:\

Pedobear_Slayer · 2012-09-16T01:51:00+00:00

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.

pandasnpistols · 2012-09-16T01:33:10+00:00

I laughed so much.

HarjiFangki · 2012-09-16T01:43:51+00:00

What the fuck am I doing? Redditing, that's what.

stemgang · 2012-09-16T02:44:02+00:00

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...

steezliktheez · 2012-09-16T01:58:16+00:00

Don't generalize.

JMC813 · 2012-09-16T03:05:48+00:00

Being EXTREME!

stef47aries · 2012-09-16T03:20:39+00:00

I've seen this so many times but it still gets me

Jetpack123 · 2012-09-16T03:51:37+00:00

i believe they are trying to teach Mohammed's peaceful teachings by rioting and threatening to behead people

alphawolfgang · 2012-09-16T04:22:50+00:00

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.

ToeJammer · 2012-09-16T04:26:49+00:00

I totally guessed that it was this .gif... Now that's magic

ynsaad · 2012-09-16T04:40:19+00:00

I am on Reddit.

EOD70 · 2012-09-16T04:55:27+00:00

I'm just sitting here masturbating.

ineedwater · 2012-09-16T05:25:11+00:00

What is this video they're mad about? can someone link it for me?

danishshivakumar · 2012-09-16T07:24:12+00:00

To my fellow ignorant American assholes, what the fuck are you doing? Except for, I don't know, giving other religions shit? Because y'all are so accepting of other people's "opinions" and "jokes", right?

Doesn't feel so fun to be generalized does it? Capitalist fucks.

mr-scratch · 2012-09-16T07:40:28+00:00

I feel like a fucking hippy when I ask why we, as humans, can't just get along on a common grounds as being fucking human beings.

It kills me inside.

hilarioussagittarius · 2012-09-16T01:20:11+00:00

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 · 2012-09-16T00:40:34+00:00

Religion : Fucking up everything since the big bang ;D

olcoil · 2012-09-16T00:59:13+00:00

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

If it wasn't for the protests the world never would have known about that movie in the first place --. Now I respect Islam a little less -__-

southernlady_yall · 2012-09-16T01:48:13+00:00

As a non Muslim, this is the funniest thing I've seen all day.

As0l · 2012-09-16T01:43:43+00:00

"To my fellow Muslims..." - who the hell are you talking to? The Muslims doing this are most certainly NOT on Reddit. The Muslims that are on Reddit are most likely not even involved, yet you're insulting them. It's like saying America is retarded because the Baptist church exist. It doesn't make sense and it makes you look like a internet tough guy. This is blatant racism coming from a 14 year old, it's disgusting that it even gets upvoted.

mikecngan · 2012-09-16T00:40:05+00:00

saying this shit will get you beheaded.

MAVP · 2012-09-16T00:28:43+00:00

They are following the principles of Iron Age shepherds, what did you think they were doing?

advocat3 · 2012-09-16T00:04:19+00:00

They're following their religion. If you knew anything about it you would be joining in with them. Fortunately living in a free country has made you get your ethics from a secular source so you're able to see through all the bullshit in the qu'ran.

TheBrainofBrian · 2012-09-15T22:47:58+00:00

I feel like this situation warrants more tact than a cat gif.

mzkny88 · 2012-09-15T21:43:47+00:00

Whats funny is this behavior is expected and people still release shit to piss them off.

Now its time they be accountable too, especially since even the actors in the film that caused the violence claim they were lied to and never knew what the film was about.

The man lied sooooo much its got me thinking where the $5 million came from...
