Muslim PMs me on Facebook giving me "advice"
Offline We can only live in harmony if we respect each other values. You know what people, infact u can defame prophet muhammad among ur close friends, ur family or ur pals but defaming him online is only gonna create hatred. You know who is gonna benefit from such pages? Well, extremist muslims who dont follow the teachings of islam or prophet muhammad will use this as a pretext to launch war against the west but mostly americans. I agree u have right to free speech but i dont think if have right to disrupt the world peace by angering the terrorists, resulting in the death of innocent people ;some who happen to be the sole earner of the family. If i make any sense, great, if i dont, well i guess than i was a poor communicator
Here are my responses:
Harmony is not found in demanding taboos. Harmony is in knowing that empathy also along with wanting to be liked, humans like to bitch too. So since 6 billion people will never agree on all things, the one thing that IS obtainable, is knowing that all of us like to be free from physical harm. I will not bow to the insecurities of others under threat of violence. I don't care about being offended and neither should anyone else. What we should care about is not harming others. That is the only common ground our species has. Violence will never stop others from offending us. What can stop violence is the acceptance that we are all human.
QUOTE:"I agree u have right to free speech but i dont think if have right to disrupt the world peace by angering the terrorists,"
I won't give a mere criminal the status of hero to a cause. I can get along with people who make claims I find absurd. I can love people I disagree with. But unlike them I don't use violence like a redneck whose sister was called a whore. The assholes who do this deserve ridicule and condemnation. THEY are to blame for their actions. Being offended doesn't give anyone the right to kill others.
Blaming me for the actions of criminal murderers is absurd. THEY need to grow up. If they don't want the west coming after them then they need grow up and not use violence merely because they hear things they don't like.
I am an atheist. I get called immoral. I get equated to Hitler. I get called anti-American. I get called fascist. Do you see me threatening people because they say stupid shit about people they don't know?
FUCK THEM. I've been called names and people have made fun of me and my label. Do I have the right to kill others because of that? Your anger should be aimed at them, not me. I don't use violence when someone calls me names. We are not schoolchildren on a playground. Mature adults don't use violence merely because they get called names.

Often times the word "God" is strongly linked to one's own ego, because of how heavily it distorts their understanding of their world.
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

Ah, I thought I had seen someone on the forum did, but I couldn't remember what, who, when. CRS.

I am all for middle fingers, either way, but I don't want to lose my middle finger or any other body part for that matter. I am quite sure my detractors would feel the same way, or at least they should.
BTW, as an aside to all reading this, the picture in this thread of the guy with the beard was posted by someone else, that is not me. I am nerdy but I cant grow a beard.

I can endorse that - I have seen Brian on Skype, and believe me you don't wanna see him.

Yea, which is why you don't have a webcam anymore. There are just some things that are not safe for human consumption.

I have the same problem with Christians too when they say, "Don't pick on my god". With hunger and disease and pollution and war, your/their god's top priority is not being picked on? How pathetic. You/they want me to worship a self centered jerk who is only concern is that you don't call him names?
Allah/Jesus ARE ALL POWERFUL, what could a mere mortal possibly say to hurt such a being?(if we are going by your claim)(mind you, I find all, not just your claim, but all claims of the super natural absurd)
6 billion people under threat of disease, and crime and war and natural disasters and the best daddy can do is say "Dont pick on me".
Is this what you/they want me to respect? No thanks. I don't respect narcissism.

I'm guessing you won't get much of a reply, but I'd be interested to hear it if you do.
In my experience, muslims aren't very good at defending their faith with words. Every single conversation I've had with a muslim about islam, I've always easily defeated them without even trying, and I'm not exactly the sharpest tool in the box. (I recently had a conversation with a muslim in the comments of thunderfoot's draw mo vid. He was going on about how there aren't any pedo muslims. So I asked him to explain the "bacha bazi". End of conversation)
But of course, getting their asses kicked verbally never makes much of a dent in their faith. The reason for that is, I think, that even the so-called "moderate" muslims secretly count on their more violent brethren to settle the argument for them in the end, so why should they worry about making sense ?
This is the crux of what the bloke is saying in my opinion and amounts to gutlessness. Given governments around the world refuse to be forthright in their condemnation of this religion and its sly excuses for violence it's up to us to draw cartoons of mo and do whatever else we have to do. Allah/god must die.
