One can only imagine the reaction from the goon squad if a Western leader had said what Morsi said about another religious group instead of Jews instead of the current silence.
I've read an update to the terrible massacre in Algeria of non-Muslim hostages by their religious extremist captors saying two terrorists were Canadian. There was an earlier plot in Canada a few years ago to attack Parliament and behead the Prime Minister hatched by around 19 ? religious extremists....
Interesting development. I'm sure there will be mixed views on the forum, some agreeing with the patrols against drunkenness while others condemning it: The gang confronts people and accuse them of living an unclean life They film a hurt cyclist in the road, blaming alcohol for their injuries and ca...
I was reading an article on a 'conservative' blog about a small, privately owned salon store in the UK that allegedly discriminated against gays by refusing their business. The author wanted the store boycotted out of business. My remark was asking how it better for a store not to serve gays out tha...
Trying to understand what is meant by the words of the Quran requires years of study of the language of the Beduin Well, we're going off topic so I'll contribute. I remember a Western Arabic scholar saying, let's say, 1/3 of the Koran was honestly incomprehensible to him. Another scholar who believ...
I believe this is what you're referring to: Arabic is a 'defective' script: only consonants can be written with it, vowels are omitted. Furthermore, when the Qur'an was codified a script was used in which several consonants shared the same signs. Only 17 signs were used to write 28 consonants. Just ...
I read the news and thought I'd share some insanity from Venezuela: “We have no doubt, the time will come in history when we can create a scientific commission to show that Comandante Chávez was attacked with this disease…We have no doubt that our fatherland’s historic enemies looked for a way to ha...
FlyingDutchman , he may also have been a billionaire. Anyway, the people sniped in 2002 demonstrating his rule don't view him a hero. Edit: FD, turns out you were completely right about Mishrawi's death. If you recall, you correctly blamed a Palestinian's death on a Hamas rocket while others spread...
I'm looking to change my diet by eating healthier. I avoid red meat and get more protein from turkey. But I'm curious what members here eat daily. Are there any 'macrobiotic' fans? I hear different things from different people what foods are healthy; some say avoid wheat but others say I need my who...
Interesting. I eat fish when I can, especially sushi. Unfortunately, Japanese food isn't as popular as Italian or Chinese so it's hard to eat regularly. There are certain geographic regions, called blue zones, where life expectancy is around ten years longer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Zone E...
SanaRabbani , no doubt about it. It was only a matter of time before another attack bubbled over considering the amount of hatred for the other they're taught.

Judij , an unfortunate side effect of hate preaching.
The study finds negative correlation between intelligence and faith. One can easily find agreement w/ the correlation from this site alone. I note how intelligence is defined by psychologists in the article. I'm sure we can all figure out the religious poster who couldn't follow abstract thinking, p...
I meant religious people are less intelligent, and the article gives reasons why more intelligent people tend to be less religious in adulthood. Anyway, here's a world IQ map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/92/AverageIQ-Map-World.png There's strong correlation between IQ and wealth. Rich...
As a personal interpretation, I think the study shows more the negative effect of incest than religion. Concerning the influence of religion, I think that's more important during childhood, during the making of the brain. Adults becoming atheists donot become more intelligent all of a sudden. An in...
Don't know if you're paying attention to the events in Kenya, but one of the terrorists was apparently British. I guess we'll know in the coming days, but it seems like a lot of the terrorists are coming from Britain. The Somali militant group al-Shabab says it carried out the attack on the upmarket...
Reports are saying two or three Americans were involved in the attack in addition to one Briton. Remember the attack on the oil complex in Algeria? Two Canadians took part in that. Diversity has certainly done wonders for the West, and the rest of the world. Here's more information about the attacke...
One American said to be confirmed: CNN) -- A spokesman for the Kenya Defense Forces has identified four terrorists who took part in the deadly Nairobi mall attack last month. They are: Khattab al-Kene, an American Somali; Abu Baara al-Sudani, from Sudan; Omar Nabhan, from Kenya; and a man identified...
BUT it does. If you followed the Ukraine events you would notice that. What is one supposed to notice? Pointing out the Germans believed in a master race means tensions between Whites and non-Whites will erupt? --- Sep 25, 2014 --- Andyba wrote: Almost every religion says its the only true Faith, J...
Andyba , the KKK does exist, actually. Is factually stating what they believe a provocation against Whites? Perhaps you should write to the endless liberal columnists who've spoken about KKK ideology. Let me try to unpack your current line of logic. You first question whether my OP is meant to crea...
A Swedish reporter records his assault and verbal abuse after wearing a kippah and walking through Malmo: Reporter walked through southern city of Malmo wearing traditional Jewish cap, had to flee for fear of serious violence.
