During said search, I found this quote:
He speaks about Muslims in a way which, were he to repeat it on globally networked television, might endanger his life.I want you to think about that. Very, very carefully.
It's not that Jihadists are necessarily opposed to freedom of speech. It's just that if you say anything they find offensive, they'll kill you. Totally different head. Totally.
This whole Jihadism thing is a far more civilized lifestyle than the Christians practice. If you say anything derogatory to Christianity, those Jesus-worshipping barbarians might hold a nonviolent protest. They might even write strongly-worded letters to the editor. Oh, the humanity!
The nauseating thing about this article is that the author puts this concept out there completely off the cuff--as if there were nothing at all unusual about the concept of an unstated Jihadist threat to murder anyone who opposes their sick death cult. How do you deal with a mindset like that?
Well the first way you deal with it is to stop exaggerating (lying). Christians don't always react with a peaceful protest. You and your hero Ann B., for example preach a much more aggressive approach. The other thing is naturally, all Muslims are not like you describe.
ReplyDeleteUse your head, man. Wake up out of you psychotic fantasy.
Mike, please name one Muslim that Ann or myself has physically harmed in any way. Just one. I'm waiting...
ReplyDeleteI guess that whole thing in New York ten years go didn't really happen, right? Must have been just a 'psychotic fantasy.' And there's absolutely no organized effort by any Muslim organization to do anything crazy like, you know, take over the world.
Mikey, perhaps all Muslims aren't like I describe--although, since their religion commands them to lie and decieve to advance its cause, we'll never know for sure. But just because all German or Japanese citizens may not have supported their nations' war efforts, that didn't stop said nations from causing a whole mess of trouble before we smacked 'em down.
Seriously, Mike. Come up with some new material. I'm getting tired of burning down your straw men.
I stand by my motto, "Religion breeds hate." Human history proves it, without exception. Of course, if humans didn't have religion to breed the hate we would just come up with something else.
ReplyDeleteOf course, if humans didn't have religion to breed the hate we would just come up with something else.
ReplyDeleteAnd, completely unwittingly, Beat demonstrates the whole concept of "Original Sin."
We are, by our nature, prone to violence, hatred, cruelty and selfishness. The attempts to overcome these inclinations are attempts to embrace our humanity and bring us closer to our inner spark of the Divine. In other words, the more we reject the bestial, the closer we may approach God.
At least, that's how I see it. Hope you're doing well, bro.
Not to presume to speak for Mr. Nugent, but it's entirely possible that he came to current his "pro-America, pro-military and pro-gun" position somewhat after the period during which he "[went] to such horrendous lengths to NOT serve in time of war." Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I've been reading his works, and he claims to have always had that mindset.
ReplyDeleteIf he didn't, I'd understand. I used to lean Left, and I finally pulled my head out of my ass and grew up. There's very few people who hold the same opinions at 50 as they did at 20--it's called maturity.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding Mr. Nugent. I do like his current mindset, and would love to meet him one day. It's just this one thing that's always bothered me.
Not to get into a religious discussion (because I HATE doing that without a fire-pit and oodles of BL Lime), but I thought I'd throw light a match:
ReplyDelete"We are, by our nature, prone to violence, hatred, cruelty and selfishness."
And God made us in His image, huh? Whodathunkit?
When I was young I called myself a 'liberal' because my idea of being liberal was, "You live your life, I'll live mine and we won't interfere with one another."
A decade or two ago I read a Playboy interview (I bought it for the stories) with Uncle Ted. The Motor City Madman told a story of going to his ex-wife's home to pick up or see his kids. He noticed the ex's new boy-toy peeking out from behind a curtain. Ted then pulled out a firearm and capped a stray dog, just to make a point. The boy-toy quickly disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI like dogs and hate to thing about the poor thing he shot, but I also like Ted's vision and attitude. If you listen to his music from around the time of the Iranian hostage crisis you will find it very patriotic. One example, "Bound And Gagged," was played quite frequently on the WSHE in S. Florida.
'I stand by my motto, "Religion breeds hate." Human history proves it, without exception.'
ReplyDeleteReligion also brought us beautiful buildings, art and letters. Religion provides the underpinings for some of the greatest human acheivements of all time. You cannot name a great civilization founded on the principle of atheism.
It is easy to fall into the "religion is responsible for evil trap". Religion is responsible for much good in the world as well.
