Unlimited MENA Revolt Thread

Muslim extremists are a dangerous kind of retarded.

Calling them on it is invoking a retard shitstorm.

Not calling them on it is submission to tyranny.

What to do?

On one hand censorship is wrong. I don't think it's ever the right thing to do?

On the other hand should you just stand by and do nothing while one faction of religious retards annoys another faction of religious retards to the point where proper people get killed over it?

My stance on book burning is wavering. It always does when I think about the bible or the koran

It's a symbolic gesture of wilful ignorance. For example Mien Kampff written by a deluded maniac who through political means caused huge atrocities, there is a lot to be learned from that. Even if you despise them the Koran and bible are useful. For instance The Koran has some of the only documented information on Alexander the Greats escapades into the east.

Yeah, I hear ya. The books themselves are just a collection of historical notes jumbled up with fairy tales. It's the readership I really want to burn

The problem isn't calling them out.

It's doing so in a way calculated to cause a shitstorm.

"Jesus probably wasn't really the Son of God" = valid criticism.  "Jesus was a depraved sodomite and serial killer, like an ancient Jewish Jeffry Dahmer", not really rocking the historical evidence.

"Mohammed probably wasn't really the Prophet, and said some stuff that, by modern day standards, is pretty fucked up" = valid criticism.  "Mohammed is a baby raping terrorist and paedophile", pretty much inviting a shitstorm.

It's not a matter of legality here, it's a matter of common sense and judgement.  Can you say those things?  If you like.  Is it a good idea?  Not particularly, based on recent historical evidence.  Should people call you out on your dangerous act of stupidity?  Absolutely.

I also don't think "calling out tyranny" counts when you pal around with people who want to create a home-grown tyranny.  Undermines the rebellion credentials, you know?

[P3nT4gR4m]

Disagree. I see the baby raping Jesus as legitimate satire. But, again there's the wisdom in thinking about what happens. This is where the christfags don't seem as bad as the turbaniacs. A while ago I did Baby Jesus show, assured that probably nothing would happen other than a bunch of retards might get pissed off.

Ep2, however I was planning to unleash mohammedalek


and Allah Akbar


I remember thinking at the time - is this worth it for a cheap laugh? People might be killed. I might be killed. And yeah it'll be the retards fault but, when it comes down to it, I'll have given them another excuse to be retarded.

At the same time the other half of me, the middle finger waving half, was thinking fuck these idiots. They deserve nothing more than to be ridiculed and annoyed.

Christians just tend to fly lower on the radar and pick their battles more carefully.  Especially in Europe and North America, they prefer to act through their linked political groups, which give them a measure of political power.

In the Middle East, outside of Iran, the people most likely to take offence to such things don't have the legal power to do anything about it.  Hence, violence.

[Placid Dingo]

German Embassy attacked in Sudan (BBC).

American embassy in India also (#Anonymous).

[LMNO]

Um... Allah Ackbar is AWESOME.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Bomb threat at University of Texas at Austin, 8:30AM.

[Cain]

I have a horrible feeling that this is all spiralling out of control.

Well, I sure hope that Israeli living in America who made that dumb video is proud of himself.

He's not Israeli.  He lied.  See my earlier post.  This is a video made with the backing of a Christian fundamentalist linked to the militia movement.

Lol.

Sorry, I actually laughed, because it just seems totally fucking absurd at this point.

Fuck. Fuck us ALL.

These guys seem to agree.

Gunfire inside the US embassy in the Sudan.  German and UK embassies also under siege.  50 US Marines en route to Sudan (not enough to help, but a perfect sacrificial size).  KFC torched (WTF?). 

Now they're going after the Colonel.  That ain't right.

[Cain]

At least in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood have come out calling for explicity peaceful demonstrations, and are holding their march a good degree back from the US Embassy.

It's not much, but it's a welcome sign of restraint and good will.

Yeah, but it's everywhere else.  Even India.

My money says the Indian police come down on that like a ton of bricks.
