FBI tells cartoonist to "go ghost"

[Sabretooth]

Given the number of intelligent Islamic Fundamentalists in the UK who have university degree's, I would also dispute the claim that better education would solve this problem, because I'm affraid that is not the case.

I would be interested in knowing what degrees they have, and whether they are immigrants or not. It's a folly to assume that just because someone is madrassa-educated, they are not intelligent, just that they grew up with a vastly different set of philosophical ideas and morals.

 

What you get in higher learning institutions is largely technical learning, without much of a care for the core human building that goes on in the primary stages of education. This is something that is very present in Western schools, which (believe it or not) actually encourage rational thinking, tolerance, yada yada.

 

Still, I'll be the first to say something controversial but seems to be blatantly obvious, that given pretty much nearly all the Islamic countries are an absolutely shambles

 

Controversial? Maybe. Obvious? I'm not sure... The only Islamic countries I can of as being "in shambles" at the moment, are Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

The Middle-East is in fact, prospering with their oil sales and Saudi patronage. Iran is doing well for itself, political troubles notwithstanding.

 

I wonder what exactly it says about Muslims that Allah has permitted the infidels of the West to be the predominant powers in the world for the past 500 years.

That's easy - you can be powerful and rich, or you can be pious and virtuous, unlike the decadent and heretic West. Which do you pick, oh Muslim brothers?

 

And like it or not, if the west so choose we could wipe the Arabian peninsula off the map; fortunately unlike many Muslim fundamentalists the West is too civilised for such action.

Civility counts for little in global politics. There's a lot of people in the Middle-East, and it's always better to have more people around, because then you can turn them to your side. Waging a one-side war to eliminate a variable is very unprofitable...

 

Of course I've always found it amusing that God would require people to kill on his behalf, given that if your God I'm pretty sure your capable of defending yourself, far more powerfully than mere humans.

It isn't about that, God can kill everyone if he so wishes - he wants everyone to follow his Word by peace, and if they won't, that they be destroyed in his name.
