I pit this religion of Islam. Why? Because in human rights, women’s rights, LGB rights, etc. rankings, the bottoms of the lists are majority populated by Muslim majority countries.
I pit Islam because of all religion-inspired terrorisms of the world, Islamic terrorism is the most common and widespread, causing governments on every inhabited continent to spend billions of dollars and thousands of man/hours. I’ll never forget September 11, Madrid, London, Paris, Chattanooga, Fort Hood, Orlando, Israel, Mumbai, Theo Van Gogh and the many incidents occurred on account of Muslim jihad.
I pit Islam because virtually all countries in which the State amputates body parts as criminal punishment are Muslim majority countries.
I pit Islam because the supermajority of countries in which FGM is commonly practiced, are Muslim majority countries.
I pit Islam because its the inspiration for honor killings, and oppressive clothing like the hijab, niqab, burka, all meant to mark women as property.
I know I’m shocked! Who would have expected alt-right bigotry and hate from a fine upstanding source like the OP? But since his other pittings have worked out so well, maybe this one will, too.
Strange how women have already been elected head of state in Muslim majority nations, but the US has never managed that before. I’m hoping we’re about to change that.
I can’t remember who it was, but I once clicked on a link someone on this board provided.
It was a two panel cartoon. In the first panel three goats are crossing a bridge and one says “I wonder what ever happened to that guy who came after us?”(I"m not sure about the came after us wording, but some threat was indicated.)
The second panel showed a troll sitting in the dark in front of a computer screen, tapping away.
also, I’ma clear something up quick: I’m of the view Western hero Winston Churchill was about Islam and Muslims.
[QUOTE=Winston Churchill]
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Now I’ma gonna clear something up for you, too, you ignorant racist fuckwit. Get old Winnie drunk enough and you’d have gotten along fine, sharing racist anecdotes in the Old Boys’ Club (whites only) …
“I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisonous gas against uncivilised tribes.” – Winston Churchill, writing as president of the Air Council, 1919
“It is alarming and nauseating to see Mr Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the east, striding half naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, while he is still organising and conducting a campaign of civil disobedience, to parlay on equal terms with the representative of the Emperor-King.” – Commenting on Gandhi’s meeting with the Viceroy of India, 1931
“I do not admit… that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia… by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race… has come in and taken its place.” – Churchill to Palestine Royal Commission, 1937
“One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as admirable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.” – From his Great Contemporaries, 1937
“I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.”
Palestinians: “barbaric hordes who ate little but camel dung.”

… as an MP he demanded a rolling programme of more conquests, based on his belief that “the Aryan stock is bound to triumph”. There seems to have been an odd cognitive dissonance in his view of the “natives”. In some of his private correspondence, he appears to really believe they are helpless children who will “willingly, naturally, gratefully include themselves within the golden circle of an ancient crown”.
But when they defied this script, Churchill demanded they be crushed with extreme force. As Colonial Secretary in the 1920s, he unleashed the notorious Black and Tan thugs on Ireland’s Catholic civilians, and when the Kurds rebelled against British rule, he said: “I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes…[It] would spread a lively terror.”
You’ve probably wasted a good half-hour (or more) of your life finding and linking those quotes wolfpup, sorry to say. Our resident DEREK is immune to actual facts, cites and boring shit like that.
I’ve stilll got some popcorn if you want to make better use of the rest of your day…
I admit, there’s a sad aspect to it, like having an argument about Wittgenstein with a cat, and feeling that you’ve won since the cat has no rebuttal.
Still, I thought it was amusing to dig up some of the less well-known facts about Winnie. The man had a masterful command of language and guided his nation through a horrific war, but he was also a creature of his era, his racism and bigotry established in his formative years of the early 20th century.
