I suspect that the human vocabulary has not yet reached a stage in evolution sufficient to express the true awesomeness of Richard Dawkins...

Awesomeness, for instance, is insufficient...

But 'memes'? And that 'Brights' crap?

That said, he managed to reduce Bill O'Reilly to a gibbering wreck without saying much, so hey, he's alright.

Dawkins is kinda overrated IMO. I think a lot of Americans just like listening to his voice, lol. He does have a pretty awesome British accent.

That guy was the Fred Phelps of Islam back when he lived in New York. Him and his band of followers acted a lot like the Westboro Baptists.

Too bad we cant round him and his followers along with all of the Westboro Baptist church and deport them to Antarctica so all the extremist nutjobs can freeze to death.

The point of it is that Muslims may well find depictions of Islam's Prophet Mohammed offensive, disgusting and so on. They should even protest about it peacefully if it angers them - no threats of violence, no harassment and intimidation of people and so on.


Define "intimidation".

I do actually wonder if Islam can be reformed at all. I think Muslims can and probably will be, but Islam can't. The unquestioning fanaticism seems to be built into the thing. That's why countries like Saudi Arabia still have a medieval mindset with modern communications and technology.


It's not built into the religion, it's built into common modern interpretations. Ijtihad used to be encouraged a lot more, IIRC.

You're kidding, right? Even if you are, this really disturbs me. If you think that's funny then your sense of humor is worse than mine.

^^ I wasnt kidding I am just speaking whats on my mind fanatics like him and westboro Baptist church cannot be reasoned with no matter how much you try, they are gmaking the rest of their religion look bad be it muslim or christian and should be sent away from civilization so they cannot be continuing to spread hate to the rest of the populous. I know what I said may seem cold and harsh but people like that are cold and harsh and people like that will just keep pushing their boundaries.The only thing protecting people like that is the same thing they like to exploit and hate at the same time...the constitution.

Okay. Now this is just scary. First of all, what gives you the right to decide who doesn't deserve to be a part of civilization? Second, don't you think that's kind of hateful and intolerant? "I think you're making the world worse and poisoning people's minds against good people like us, you should die" sounds a lot like the reasoning of some of those "fanatics" about America, I think.

Thankfully he lives in Morocco now. Apparently he used to be an ultra-orthodox Jew but converted to Islam because he couldn't get laid by any Jewish women. He regularly calls women "sluts" for not completely covering their arms and legs. Lol.

Where the heck did you get the idea that I "like to support these fanatics"? Because I don't think it's right for you to decide who deserves to be a part of the civilized world and who doesn't?

Let me get this straight: apparently I'm evil for being Muslim and supposedly thinking people who I disagree with deserve to be executed, and apparently I'm also evil for not agreeing with you that people I disagree with deserve to be left to die. This makes sense how?

I just don't understand why these people do what they do, when there are tons of peaceful, non-confrontational things they could be doing.

It has nothing to do with islam it has to do with radicals who twist religion and take it either out of context or too litterally be it islam or christianity I am not intolerant of religion I am intolerant of fanatics who spread hate.Do you see it now? Or do you wish to take what I say out of context and put words in my mouth assuming I hate followers of religion or in your case islam.I didn't bring up the evil for being a muslim you did.Again another assumption taken out of context and playing the religion card.

It is because they have been brainwashed to be that way out of fear of being killed themselves.
