Here’s the funny thing, **Omegaman** ; I don’t mind at all people asking me my nationality, my gender, my religious affiliation, or almost anything else about me. What peeves me, though, is them accusing me of being something. The first action is polite and civilized, the latter action simply uncouth. ---

My degree qualified me for my current employment. That certainly shows the degree counts for more than canine offal. And my university is one of the top schools in the world, which shows that the degree’s not stupid. And for an example of polite and civilized behavior: What degree have you earned and in what subject, if you’d be so kind as to share that information? ---

I am not going to blame an entire group for this horrible act as I am sure there are many, maybe even a large majority of Muslims who don’t approve of this type of punishment. But in certain parts of the Muslim world, the opinion of the majority does not matter. Women do not have a say in political issues and men are afraid to speak out against such atrocities. It is not that the entire group of people are responsible for this girl’s death, I believe it was up to a single cleric to make this decision, but I still feel absolutely sickened that there are people who don’t agree with the actions taken and don’t speak out against it. Or worse praise it even though they secretly find it abhorrent. But I guess when speaking against your own religion could be met with death, it is to be expected that these people feel no choice but to accept it. I don’t know how common this type of thing occurs. It may not be common at all, but it is deeply disturbing that it happens at all. I see you people bickering, comparing one atrocity with another and it really is sad. _Yeah **this** is terrible, but **this** is also just as terrible._ This world is a very sad place. The fact that publicly condoned murder of children after they have been sexually tortured exists in this world is even more proof that a fair and just god does not exist. If there is a god he is one _sick f_ck\*. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > **Monty** , seriously, you’re wasting your time. Either she’s a troll or she’s literally retarded. Regardless, there’s no point in trying to debate with her: either she won’t comprehend it or she’ll ignore it. Seriously. It’s like she’s a new release of **Der Trihs** that only focuses on one religion at a time. Not sure if that’s a bug or a feature. ---

Well, one meaning of [offal](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/offal) is “refuse, rubbish.” And that would include waste, wouldn’t it? I’m with you: I’m not eating either one–Scottish heritage notwithstanding. ---

Freudian Slit wrote: > [@](#): > > Just pointing out that it’s silly to act as though Islam represents some cultural evil when it’s a pretty universal human trait. Really? When was the last time a Christian flew an airplane into a skyscraper? When was the last time a Mormon hijacked an airplane and held it hostage? When was the last time a Lutheran shot up a school full of kids? When was the last time a Jehovah’s Witness strapped explosives to their child’s chest and sent him into a cafe to murder innocent people? When was the last time a Buddhist called for the annihilation of an entire race? When was the last time a Satanist committed an act of mass murder? Hell, show me the FIRST time any of the above happened, much less the last time. You’re foolishly blind. Islam is evil. Period. It is not even a religion. It is a political/military system disguising itself as religion, created by an insane pedophile/rapist/murderer (Mohammed). He took bits of Christianity and Judaism, threw in some traditional Arabic folklore, and slapped on the name of a pagan moon god to create his narcissistic nightmare called “Islam” (which means “submission”). He did this in order to unite the tribal Arab savages whom he lived amongst. If you read the Koran, it become obvious (as Robert Spencer also noticed) that either Mohammed was the most perfect human being ever to live, and Allah doted on him as if having a fetish with his human servant, or the Koran was written by an insane narcissist. We know that the latter is true, based on the evidence. People who try equating the Catholic church or Christianity with Islam prove their ignorance the moment the open their mouths. And no, I am neither Christian nor Catholic, so don’t bother going there. So, Freudian Slit, if this evil is a universal human trait, explain why we do not see mass terror committed or condoned by Christians, Lutherans, Mormons, Satanists, Catholics, Buddhists, etc? Explain why over 95% of all terror is committed in the name of Islam alone, while the tiny 5% remaining is committed by a combination of all other belief systems combined (there are 4,200 different religious faiths, including non-beliefs such as atheism, to put that into perspective). Note that there are more Christians than there are Muslims worldwide. Explain why such a high percentage of terrorism and violence emanates from Islam, yet almost none from Christianity. Explain how even a religion that worships THE DEVIL HIMSELF (ie Satanism) does not commit even a tiny fraction of a percentage of the amount of violence and destruction that Islam commits. Spare me the crap about a few errant priests molesting little boys. And while we are on the subject, while I in no way condone priests fondling little boys, it is a massive lapse of common sense as well as human decency to morally equate a handful of school kids being molested with the mass murder of thousands of innocent people and the catastrophic loss of health suffered by tens of thousands more.
