WORLD OF WARCRAFT COSTS $15 USD. Get your facts right.

*sigh* I'll do it. It seems like you may think I, personally, am not a terrorist, but I believe in terrorism. That is false. Then why, I ask, is the Old Testament even part of the Bible and not rewritten? Here is just a sample of the violence in the New Testament. I am NOT saying that there is NO violence in the Qu'ran but simply that there ARE violent passages in the New Testament. Matthew: Jesus says that most people will go to hell. 7:13-14 Jesus sends some devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to run off a cliff and drown in the waters below. 8:32 Revelations The martyrs just can't wait until everyone else is slaughtered. God gives them a white robe and tells them to wait until he's done with his killing spree. 6:10-11 The beast and the false prophet are cast alive into a lake of fire. The rest were killed with the sword of Jesus. "And all the fowls were filled with their flesh." 19:20-21 etc. We do not ask Muhammad for forgiveness. We ask GOD. We ask forgiveness from God and God alone. I don't see your point with you having Jesus and what not. It's not like you believe the Bible verbatim. Does that mean you aren't Christian. At best, you're a moderate Christian who merely believes in God as the creator and la-de-da and you worship him and Jesus, but you basically don't follow everything the book says. I personally consider that a good thing, but yea. Most Muslims dont stone adulterers either...WE dont follow that because it's silly. It's wrong to commit it, but it's silly to stone them. They're no longer valid. Jesus has nothing to do with the traditions of the past fading away. A MUSLIM KILL A CHRISTIAN OR JEW?? Are you kidding me? The Muslims love monotheistic according to the book. In the Umyyad and Abbasid times we levied less jizya on you because of your faith. Muslims don't fundamentally hate or want to kill Christians or Jews. Your book says wakky crap too? Why dont you follow it? It's silly, right? Judging by the way you speak of the Qu'ran I highly doubt you have read both the Bible and the Qu'ran. Where's your evidence that one is more "wacky" than the other. We put Muhammad's message above Jesus' because we think it was interpreted WRONG. That's right wrong. Do you know the date the Bible was written? Have you ever heard of the Council of Nicea? Yeah, you cant tell me there was nothing lost in translation. Who calls Jews swines because they are Jewish? NO, you're wrong. The Qu'ran specifically states to call Jews and Christians brothers. How can you tell I do not like Jews and Christians? I have no negative opinion on the religions, just the people who follow them. I am a Westerner. I was born in the West. How do I not like my best friends? On to geography: Yes, Muslims were there FIRST. Ever heard of Palestine? It was its own independent Muslim nation until the British kicked them out and put all the Jews of Europe there. How would you feel if someone just came into your house and called it their own. Granted the Jews lived in that area before the Palestinians but they left. It was open land and the Muslims took over. Now the Jews want it back? How unfair is that.... So it says in the Bible, a book I dont follow, I'm going to hell? LOL COUNCIL OF NICEA. How do you know that is what Jesus meant? I, of course, believe that the Bible and the Torah are not corrupt. I believe, in some aspects, that they are wrong but not corrupt. It is CLEAR as crystal that you have not read the Qu'ran. So do I accept Jesus as a Muslim or according to you am I going to hell? Wow, blatantly insulting my religion. Go you. Islam did not come from Christianity. It was influenced by Zoroastrianism, the primary faith in Persia, Christianity as well as Judaism. Yay, according to you, I'm stupid. This is just further proof you have not read the entire Qu'ran. The former two are "corrupted" because it was written 300+ years after the death of Jesus! Yes, if it was written maybe 1 year or so after you would be correct. However, it was not so you're wrong. Bible, be taken literally? LOL, you should be in jail. Okay since you're so SURE we're wrong. PROVE IT WITH COLD HARD FACTS. Jesus was god. Ever heard of the Holy Trinity? It's the basis for Christianity. That, right there, tells me you are not Christian. God = Jesus = holy spirit. John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 20:28: "Thomas said to him, 'My Lord and my God!'" Titus 2:13: "while we wait for the blessed hopeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

I dont think Christians hate it any more than anybody else. And what does Dumbledore being gay have to do with christianity? You dont go to hell if you're gay incase you dont know. You just aren't supposed to think about gay things. Just like you're not supposed to lie. Umm well I was referring to the uproar on Harry Potter books in schools. In case you didn't know, some Christians had a huge problem with "magic". Adding a homosexual to that does not improve the situation.

There are so many assumptions and opinions in your argument I'm not going to bother with a line-by-line refutation of EVERY wrong fact you have. Also, I dont want to turn this into a Christian vs. Islam debate. No religion is better. I love all Christians with all my heart as well as Jews. There is no doubt that Christianity is a great religion, and I'm not saying Islam is any better (like you are trying to say Christianity better). I will leave you something to ponder: It is not what a man says to do or what writing he follows that defines him. It is, however, his actions that define him. FACT: There are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims. Just for your information. [hide]Facts on Muslims and Arabs (Two Terms that AREN'T Synonymous) By DHinMI With all the controversy over the editorial cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, there's been quite a flurry of discussion in Blogostan about Muslims. Some of the discussion has been good (like Georgia10's backgrounder on the controversy here ), some not so good (like much of the discussion on the thread below Georgia10's piece). To be fair, while I've seen quite a few insensitive, ignorant and even offensive comments about Muslims and Islam, nothing I've seen on any liberal blogs has come even remotely close to the genocidal ravings about Arabs and/or Muslims you can see just about every day at Frei Republik or Little Genocidal Footsoldiers Little Green Footballs. But there's still a lot of ignorance and apparent bias seeping through in comments from generally insightful and well-informed people. So here are a few demographic facts about Muslims and Arabs that some may find surprising, and that knowing about will, I hope, elevate the conversations about the cartoon controversy. First, Arab isn't synonymous with Muslim. Islam did arise out of the Arab bedouin society and culture of 8th century Arabia, and the Koran was written in and studied in Arabic, so the influence of Medieval Arab culture and society is important, just as nomadic Caananite culture and society of .a thousand years earlier is important in shaping all the monotheistic religions. But to equate Arab (which is a cultural, social, ethnic and linguist identification) with Muslim (which is a religious identification) is like using calling Christians Jews, because Jesus and most of his earliest followers were Jews. Beyond the historical aspects of the different identifications, there are many non-Muslim Arabs, and far, far more non-Arab Muslims than there are Arabs of all faiths combined. There are approximately one billion Muslims, but only about 200 million of those Muslims are Arabs. In fact, of the countries with the largest Muslim populations, only Egypt is an Arab country (in millions, %=percentage of national population that's Muslim; figures calculated from country profiles in CIA Factbook: 1.Indonesia (212m, 88%) 2.India (140m, 13%) 3.China (133m, 1%) * 4.Pakistan (157m, 97%) 5.Bangladesh (119m, 83%) 6.Egypt (74m, 94%) 7.Turkey (69m, 99%) 8.Iran (66m, 98%) 9.Nigeria (64m, 50%) 10.Ethiopia (32m, 45%) e laMany non-Arab countries have sizable Muslim percentages, including most of Africa. The Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union are overwhelmingly Muslim, and together have about 50 million people. In Europe, several countries have large non-immigrant Muslim populations, including Albania (75%), Macedonia (30%), Russia (18%), Bulgaria (14%) and Serbia (14%). About 7% of France's population is Muslim, mostly immigrants from North Africa. On the other side, while many Arab countries are close to 100% Muslim, it's not universal. 30% of Lebanese aren't Muslim. In Kuwait it's 11%, in Syria 10%, in Egypt it's 6%, in Jordan 5%, and 25% of the residents of the West Bank aren't Muslim. Other than Lebanon (with some Druze) and the West Bank (with a small percentage of Jewish settlers), almost all the non-Muslims in the Arab countries are Christians, mostly Eastern Rite Catholics or members of various Orthodox churches. And in the United States, Arab and Muslim are far from synonymous. About two thirds of Arab-Americans are Christian. Less than half of American Muslims are immigrants; the largest percentage of American Muslims (about 48%) are African-Americans. And of them, followers of the Nation of Islam make up a small percentage. Of all American Muslims, only about 4-5% are with the Nation of Islam. Finally, about 7% of American Muslims are native-born Americans from other traditions who converted to Islam. None of this is directly related to the controversy about the depictions of Mohammed and in the European press and the reaction to the depictions around the world. But I've seen lots of misconceptions and falsehoods tossed around about Muslims and Arabs, and I thought it was worth the effort to dispel some ignorance and give people some information with which they might make better sense of the world. * Thanks to Cardinal for catching this error over at Daily Kos. The estimates I found on China were all over the place, from the low tens of millions to well over 100 million. For the sake of consistency, I chose to go with the CIA Factbook estimates, and the CIA estimates the percentage at 1-2%, not 10% as some other sources do. According to the CIA estimates, China's Muslims probably number around 20 million. [/hide]

I'm sure Suzi, if not others, would gladly buy you one if you agreed :o .

I dont know if you noticed this but what you said was in past tense; that makes all the difference. That's based on the assumption that all black people are in that situation. Someone previously posted that it should be done by salary. You should look into that because that is a more effective solution to the problem you state. Yes, but you can have children. They SHOULD have a better life than you did. Eventually, history will take its course and blacks will be financially equal to whites. In fact, that's already happening. MY family came form a dirt poor nation. My grandfather was abandoned as a child in the streets of India. My parents were both born in East Africa. They had mediocre education; at least better than my grandparents'. We moved to Canada. My parents went to college for 2 years each. Now, because of their hard work, they both make 6 figures and expect me to go to college to an upwards of four years. This is an example of how history is supposed to work. That is what should happen to the blacks! You dont need to give them money because they are black. It is blatant racism.

We all know you did that. And just in case you didn't, I gave you a friendly reminder of the general rule. I was simply stating that you should read the entire first post before posting. It was to your benefit really.

It was answered in the ORIGINAL post, which you, by the way, FAILED to read. What did you do earlier?

How is it irreparable? The generations after those students just integrate with the rest of the people. How does giving them money INTEGRATE them? If anything, it segregates them more. The government is wrong by being anti-racist which is in turn racist.

Seriously could have learned to read. :( Yea, I just saw that. Was that Bubsa dancing around, or Merc? Looked like Bubsa, but I sadly cannot say for sure, since I'm not THAT familiar with his [wagon]. ...Yet. READ THE TOPIC. Again, just saw THAT part too. You need to calm down. :roll: General rule of thumb: Don't make posts on the topic unless you have READ the topic. I clicked the video before I posted...The link was above the text, so...Naturally... Plus, after seeing some dude dancing in a thong, would you REALLY want to read the topic? :lol: I know what this is about, it's about Bubsa raising money for charity n' stuff, so I have no real reason to read 10 pages of text. Let me clarify. General rule of thumb. Don't make posts on the topic if you have not read the WHOLE post made by the original author. There may be something you are missing. It can also ensure that you do not look stupid when you post. You do NOT have to read the whole thread, just the topic post. Take that home with you. Maybe write it down? It helps, trust me.

:| So what? Integrated schools. Woop-de-do. What's your point?

Yeah...your point?

I'm saying its racist and contradicting what America tries to preach. If you have something that refutes that, say so. If not GTFO.

1. Your analogy fails because being good at tennis is a merit. You aren't born being good at tennis. You have to work at it. 2. If you had read the thread, the second part has been refuted. What I'm trying to say is that scholarships should be based on merits not something as insignificant as the color of your skin.

What does it matter? By hiding behind Christianity, does that make Islam less violent? Try not to use strawmen in arguments, it makes you look stupid Way to ignore my post I think you're so cool. EDIT: I was responding to: Yeah...

"I wont do it until you do it first." "Haha, I have nukes you dont"

Same with Muslim. You can't justify killing with religion. IF you do, you aren't a Muslim. Do not even begin to say who goes to heaven. Heck, we cannot even say who is Christian and who is Muslim. The fact is they are bad people. What you fail to understand is that Islam is quite similar to Christianity. Maybe Islam has a few more problems with its more extreme members, but essentially they are the same. Most Muslims are NOT arabs, FYI. I dont care if you dont like my religion, but I have every right to call you ignorant for the reasons you dislike it. There are many moderate Christians and moderate Muslims. I think you fall in to the category "I watch Fox too much and all I see is Muslims bombing people". FYI (again) that's not what really happens. They do "snear" at people who give them a bad name. It's the fact that they cant do anything to stop them. No you just believe everything you read. The real problem I have with you which isn't exactly your fault is that you believe whatever someone tells you. Do you know how many times mosques and "non-extremists" have tried to share their views with the rest of the world? Do you know how much media attention they get? 0. How many of you live in Canada? How many of you remember July 1st? It was a great day. In my hometown of Edmonton, the Muslims held the CANADA DAY breakfast and supplied food for the entire city. We TRY to show our views. We TRY to outdo the extremists in media attention. We fail because our care doesn't sell. All you hear is the people bombing this and that. You dont hear about the Muslims living their lives like regular people. And this is why you are ignorant. We don't hate America (the majority). We hate some of your foreign policies which has little if not nothing to do with religion. Reason for Israel? Muslims feel threatened that the WESTERN world can come into their land, take it, and give it to some foreigners. Yeah, it's not like Israel had been there forever. They left, Muslims came back, and now you throw a bunch of people there to take over? WTF!! That's how they feel. Yes, I AGREE with them, but I do not agree with the approach they are taking to do it. Going back to nukes, I think this will make the Middle East and America negotiate and maybe even cooperate. Start a topic, Flame, if you want to "argue" more about this.

So if you're gay, you're automatically a pedophile? You ignorant [bleep]. Did he say being gay makes him a pedophile? No. Don't put words in his mouth. Dumbledore just so happens to be ~50 years older than Harry, an 11-year old in the first book. You do the math. If you knew a straight, male, elderly teacher who gave a young girl "private lessons" in his office what conclusion would you come to? Pedophilia isn't far off. THERE WAS A DARK LORD, INSANE!!!!! THat's the conclusion I would come to.
