I facepalmed when the British and German embassies got attacked. like REALLY people? I mean the pretext for going after the US ones is bad enough but we literally have no involvement (brit here). Silly mob. Although as Terry Pratchett said, "The IQ of a mob is the IQ of the most stupid mobster divided by the number of people in the mob"

[–]RuffTuff 4 points5 points ago

It has nothing with IQ, the muslim community is being fed this hate in their places of worship. They are being brainwashed into believing Islam is under ithreat. Most of the people who participate truly think they are doing god's work. It is disgusting that they will get on the streets and kill and burn over a video on YouTube.

[–]Semajal 6 points7 points ago

The concept is that a large mob becomes increasingly stupid and will do things that the individuals would most likely NOT do if asked in a rational manner.

[–]jeffanie96 1 point2 points ago

Actually, it has much more to do with the general sense of humiliation people of the region feel than "they made fun of my prophet", the latter being a very simplistic understanding of a complex situation.

[–]orcrist747 -1 points0 points ago

Yes. This is the reason that my family is not part of a mosque in the states. Too much fire and brimstone. I'm from NorCal Damn it. I like my wine too much to tolerate the bullshit. People need to start walking out like we did ten years ago instead of drinking the koolade.

[–]Thehulk666 0 points1 point ago

Thats funny caus ppl here in the u.s. are brainwashed into believing our freedom is threatened.

[–]Snarfbuckle 0 points1 point ago

Ah yes, religion under threat...

You know, I'd join their religion in a heartbeat when the actual deity decides to go biblical on guilty parties like in the old days - you know, as written in those books where gods actually DID things when they got pissed off with disrespectful humans.

So far I have seen no cities swallowed by the earth, ejected into space, people flayed alive by demons or angels coming down from the sky to render judgement on the offenders.

Nor have I seen or heard any sign of the abrahamic religions deity actually connecting to humanity and telling us all how to behave.

All we have are outdated books in a dire need of revision and clarification.

All I see area lot of people who are butthurt as their PRIDE is being butthurt.

And as far as I can remember PRIDE was a sin. As was WRATH As is Committing suicide As is Offending one's neighbor

PEOPLE getting upset - not deities.

Irrational people! Irrational people everywhere!

[–]dsalmon9 2 points3 points ago

Religious fanaticism cannot be fought by going around telling people that their religion is full of shit. It can be reduced only by increasing literacy and decreasing poverty in a population. As long as illiteracy and poverty are rampant, people will turn to their religion to explain the "hows" and "whys" of their lives and of those more fortunate than they.

This leads to a thought process that says, "Though I am a steady and righteous follower of my faith, I am relegated to an impoverished station in life so those who are not impoverished and have more than they need must be unrighteous. It is their unrighteousness that lends to my suffering. To destroy my suffering, I must destroy those who are unrighteous."

tl;dr Ignorance and poverty set the stage for religious fanaticism. Get rid of them, and fanaticism dwindles.

[–]ilikefries 5 points6 points ago

Don't feel bad bro. Mostly dumbasses make the news. I work with some Muslims and they are totally cool. The news is mostly idiots doing stuff or some feel good story or some crap about politics. Thanks for posting this though. People need to hear from Muslim's who don't support the extreme idiots. Actually to prove my point. It was idiots who made the movie that pissed off the other idiots.

[–]Tupacforever 6 points7 points ago

"It was idiots who made the movie that pissed off the other idiots." You couldn't have said it better. Well said.

[–]chbrules 6 points7 points ago

The moderates are the enablers.

[–]yeahIclickedit 0 points1 point ago

Well what are you going to do about it? Wouldn't want to be an enabler would you?

[–]chbrules 0 points1 point ago

Openly mock religions. Try to rid the world of religious stupidity. Promote scientific understanding and constitutional neutrality.

[–]xoctor 0 points1 point ago

Do you feel the same way about moderate Christians? Moderate atheists? Moderate vegetarians?

[–]TyrialFrost 0 points1 point ago

If extremist christians did something of that magnitude (lets say bomb a abortion clinic) they are hunted down by moderate christians and made an example of, they are told this shit will not stand.

[–]xoctor 1 point2 points ago

I can't tell if you are serious, because your example is just not true.

Moderate Christians, like everyone else, usually leave the policing to the police. When the situation inflames prejudices and hatreds, they condone violence just as readily as anyone else. That is how it was politically possible to invade Iraq and kill tens of thousands of civilians. The WMD debacle was exposed as nothing more than a convenient rationalisation.

What evidence do you have that suggest moderate Muslims are OK with extremist violence? By definition, if they are OK with it, then they are not moderate.

The idea that Muslims are somehow a different type of human being to Christians is just silly. The only difference is the religion, and the religions are more similar than they are different. Acting like you are somehow superior based on where you were born and what religion your parents indoctrinated you with is just immature nonsense. It is exactly the mindset that causes the problems.

[–]chbrules 0 points1 point ago

Those darn extremist Atheists and their suicide bombings!!!1

And yes, I hate all religions :3

[–]lukealagonda 3 points4 points ago

The moderates are worse then the perpetrators. The apologetics are worse then the moderates.

[–]chbrules 0 points1 point ago

I concur.

[–]WendyLRogers3 -1 points0 points ago

The problem is that groups of people are judged by not the behavior of their best and brightest, but by the bad behavior of their worst members, especially if it is inflicted on others.

The means from social redemption from this is that when a member of the group offends, the rest of the group must condemn them personally, to the rest of society, and state that what they, individually, did was wrong. The offenders must be ostracized and rejected by their group.

Muslims and some other groups have not figured this out yet, and will not ever condemn the specific actions of one of their group, no matter how heinous. Instead they rationalize and excuse.

By being evasive about that, condemning all bad behavior everywhere, or claiming they are being persecuted because of their membership, and not identifying the perpetrator as a bad person who should be punished, they create stereotypes that the entire group is bad.

In the case of Muslims, this is not Islamophobia, but Islamoskepticism. The rest of society becomes convinced that Muslims are liars, deceitful, disrespectful, treacherous, and sniveling, thus they do not deserve respect or fairness themselves, since they do not offer it to others.

The way to overcome this is to stop being tolerant of Muslims that offend, instead be at the head of the line in condemning them and demanding they be punished.

[–]chbrules -1 points0 points ago

Nope.

Stop giving religion a free ride. Religion poisons everything. EVERYTHING. The moderates and the apologists are the enablers. They must be stopped first.

[–]s192837 -2 points-1 points ago

How vociferously do you condemn the atrocities the US government commits? Would I know your name from the papers? If not, by your logic, you're an enabler, right?

[–]Lucky_Bastard63 -4 points-3 points ago

Ohh I did... I served seven years standing up for what I believe in. I signed my dotted line and stood my convictions. Now bring on the ridiculous comments about baby killer and all the other genius comments that you can muster up.

[–]yeahIclickedit 12 points13 points ago

If you served that's great, but it doesn't give you free reign to be a judgemental asshole without getting called out on it. Some people aren't willing to risk their lives and there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe they have a family and feel like it would be irresponsible, maybe they don't have a good reason and they're just scared. Either way it's not your place to be a prick about it. It's also too soon to see if our involvement overseas was even a benefit, so get off of your high horse.

Interesting the majority of comments are hating. But I guess that's the point, you can take jerks on the Internet making snarky comments and not burn stuff down because you're not crazy. Honestly the fact that other atheist have to be rude to you in this thread makes me want to do this

[–]lukealagonda -1 points0 points ago

The fact that your so butt hurt about rude people on the internet makes me want to do this

[–]peacecake 0 points1 point ago

Not super "butt hurt." I suppose you could interpret the Kirk picture that way or as a jovial, "I can't look" type of thing.

[–]myeverymovment 3 points4 points ago

religion isn't tattooed to you. there are better ways to identify yourself.

[–]mcityftw 21 points22 points ago

Regardless of how they choose to identify themselves it is still part of them? Pointless statement.

[–]fuckrightTHEFUCKoff 8 points9 points ago

Truly. I don't identify solely by my race, but if a bunch of white guys started lynching people in the name of the color of their skin, you can bet your ass I would be facepalming through the back of my skull. It's shit to have your name drug through dirt and have no control over it; I feel for all of the Muslims that aren't so radical that will inevitably suffer some form of fallout from this debacle.

[–]joerogan4life 2 points3 points ago

I'd say believing, or not, in a destructive and obviously bullshit fairytale in 2012 sorta defines the types of person you are. Speaks volumes, actually.

You don't need to be a Muslim, you know.

[–]ExceedingJohn 4 points5 points ago

What has that got to do with anything? I'm Muslim, and just because some fanatics are using it as an excuse for murder doesn't mean I'll stop being Muslim.

[–]ortcutt -4 points-3 points ago

If you don't want to be vicariously embarrassed, don't be a member of a group that you feel that way about. No one needs to be a Muslim. It's up to you. Pretty simple.

[–]ExceedingJohn 4 points5 points ago

So you're saying we're all the same? That I need to be held responsible for what is going on? That I am equally guilty?

It's my religion, it's between me and Allah, I don't need to keep check with what everyone else is doing.

[–]ortcutt 1 point2 points ago

OK. You're the one who wrote "as Muslim". I'm just going by what you wrote. If it bothers you as a human being, then you could have just left that out.

[–]Kadoc -1 points0 points ago

its funny because you see the amount of attrocities your religion causes, and yet you still choose to believe and live out that bullshit nonsense. disgraceful. fuckin arabs

[–]ExceedingJohn 0 points1 point ago

I'm not Arab. You're clearly a typical ignorant racist American so I won't even try and tell you how it really is. Go back to school.

[–]Crab_Allen -1 points0 points ago

I think what he means is belonging to a religion is a choice. Surely you realize somewhere in the back of your mind that some guy didn't actually speak to god in a cave in the desert 1400 years ago... If I told you I spoke to god in a cave you'd call me a nutter. It's your choice to be a member of this group, like it's your choice to support a certain football team.

[–]s192837 0 points1 point ago

Why does the same logic not apply to Catholics who are ashamed of the way that the Church treats certain issues? Why don't they leave the Church?

Could it be that their identification with their religion overpowers their distaste for a few nutjobs who did evil?

[–]ortcutt 0 points1 point ago

They have even more reason to leave their church because they choose to be part of an institution that they are ashamed of. At least a Muslim who feels vicarious embarrassment isn't choosing to be part of an organization.

You're not ignorant at all.

Please tell me you picked up on my sarcasm.

[–]lukealagonda -2 points-1 points ago

No but I don't think one muslim can blame another for being an adherent to scripture which is fraught with apocalyptic undertones, violence and abuse towards women, and encourages the enslavement and destruction of all non-believers.

Within Islamic countries, this type of religion is the majority, and as such it is the duty of the minority both in Islamic countries and outside muslim Islamic to speak out and educate those with this apocalyptic world view, instead of holding the mildy ingratiating complacency that is suggested within OP's post.

All humans vary, as do the exclusive religions they are members of. To suggest otherwise would be ridiculous.

Just to be clear, am I right in concluding that all Christians are responsible when Christian terrorists lynch a black person or shoot a doctor, and all atheists bear responsibility for the millions of people that Stalin killed in the name of an atheistic ideology?

[–]lukealagonda -1 points0 points ago

I am sick and tired of people saying that the USSR or the Nazi Party are atheist regimes, its downright arrogant and It could not be further from the truth. Stalin actively used the Russian Orthodox Church to consolidate power (we see Putin make a similar move in Russia as we speak). He saw the value in the submissive and tyrannical power that is innate within all religion. Is religion not the origin of tyranny and dictatorship? Do dictators not thrive on a divine warrant?

And to address the Christian analogy

Why yes all christians should feel responsible and should feel guilty when unspeakable acts are committed in the name of Christianity. Why? because heinous acts are divinely warranted by religious texts, couple this with the idea that morality comes from revelation and you have a pretty big ticking time bomb, literally. I don't think you can seriously consider yourself a moral person and not feel guilty and ashamed.
