Riots Break Out In Berkley Over Gay Libertarian Immigrant Speaker

Oh those guys. well there is all kinds of sin in the bibe including the new testimate. Wasnt mary a hooker too? Thats different than emulating your Prophet as told in the hadith.
 
It all depends how religious someone is. Extreme Christians are no better than extreme muslims. i know plenty of muslims that aren't religous and they're really nice people.
These fuckers that are praying 5 times a day and mosque every fri are harder for me to get along with.
 
I really must agree with Soso on the extremes from either religion may as well be the same. Anyone who picks up a weapon and trys to blame their actions or even their intent on God is a danger to society. Human life, safety and well being must not be victims of religion, as any breach of these fundamental tenets of humanity shows as a flaw in thinking.

I saw something the other day that made me smile and sums it up quite well
"If your religion is worth killing for then please start with yourself"

The people who riot and act violent don't go to protests to protest, they go to riot and be violent. Typically they're agent provocateurs, undercover cops, sent in to give police an excuse to crack down.

I will retract this statement for now because i still haven't had time or motivation to look for evidence. I'll get around to it at some point and then restate it when/if i can find evidence for a convincing argument. There certainly is some truth to it - the violent ones at Milo's protest weren't students but outsiders who only came to be violent (already linked to this earlier in thread) - but the undercover cop bit may be hard to find a credible source.

Unlike some others around here, i actually care about my credibility and integrity. ;)

There's no such thing as a non religious muslim
 
I get what your saying but some of my best pals are muslim but not particularly religious. They celebrate eid and fast at Ramadan but day to day they just like me. I celebrate Christmas but am not religious.

I will say I was looking at trends in the bond markets last night, and it seems to be signaling interest rate lowering this year. What in the world could cause them to lower other than a recession. Hmm

In the beginnings of a recovering economy, where interest rates have been set low and inflation is not yet a concern, the stock and bond markets will prosper in parallel (verses the inversion that is typical as money flows from one to the other based on extreme forecasts). I would think that this is how this administration would want to run things out the gate. We shall see.

Just like there's no such thing as a non religious Christian or non religious Jew, right? "Muslim" can also refer to Islamic culture, and as an addendum, "race" refers to culture just as much as skin color, which is why it is correct to call Islamophobes and Islamofoes racist.

Islamophobia is just another buzzword. It is perfectly normal to be wary of a fascist religion such as islam.
 
^Yes, but its unreasonable to assume all adherents are "fascist" (as you put it) and create policy with such assumptions in mind.
