Have you taken a look at the Norad Tracks Santa site here.
They have cameras that show Santa flying over the middle east and the Pyramids in Egypt and a voice-over says Egyptian children should be in bed? Why??? Are they not almost all Muslim in Egypt?
According to the Norad Map on that site, Santa has visited a number of Muslim countries and left gifts. Surely by now, someone would have shot him down with a triumphant cry of Allahu Achbar!, God is Great. Or at least shot him as he lands to leave presents.
And are not Muslim kids puzzled as to why they are getting these gifts? Have any of them been strangled by their parents for apostasy? Recently, a teenage Muslim girl in Toronto was strangled by her father for refusing to wear a headscarf. So accepting presents from a western, Christian symbol would easily qualify.
Is Santa aware of how much he is endangering the lives of these children?
Now if I said something like that outside the BBQ Pit I wonder how long it would take the moderator to remind me that personal attacks and insults are not allowed? :dubious:
Amusing but for the implication that all Muslims are terrorist assholes who shoot anyone who is not them on sight. You ventured beyond “all religion is bunk” and landed squarely on “I’m a racist fuck.”
Actually, he didn’t call you names, he spoke as to the quality of your posts, and called you on your attitude, if gruffly. That is allowed, even outside the Pit, I do believe. IANAMod though, so I can’t say what they’d think if they read his post.
Since it is all right to call me a “racist fuck” outside the Pit, I take it that I must have missed something in the rule about personal insults. Is there a part that says they are OK if directed at me?
If you feel someone crossed the line with a post, REPORT IT! But, be forewarned, those who do not engage those who they feel are crossing the line and being a jerk, and do not throw fuel on the fire are the ones who get the Moderator’s attention and kind consideration, even if they don’t agree with you in the end.
I knew one of you would come back with that detail about the Copts, of whom I am well aware, which is why I did not say all Egyptians are Muslim. Now, do me a favour and research the kind of treatment Copts have been getting in Egypt under Islam, lately.
It is to laugh! As a black friend of mine used to say, “I’d rather be TWO n----gers in a Mississippi jail” than rely on the moderators to show me any kind consideration.
I don’t know what your definition of “almost all” is, but I don’t think 70% qualifies. The majority, sure, even a great majority. But “almost all?” No, that’s like 90 or 95%. The Copts themselves make up nearly 20% of the population.
I’m well aware of it. Why don’t you tell me WTF that has to do with Santa Claus?
