I'm a normal human being, you work it out genius.

Normal human beings can offer opinions on a subject without personally attacking others while studiously avoiding offering their own opinions.

Ah, I see, you believe I don't fit the 'normal human being' category because I'm not always polite when I post? That's how you legitimatize your suggestion that I would support violent actions by terrorists? Fascinating.

I'm sure you use similar logic in order to justify your absurd generalizations about muslims supporting terrorism because you personally never hear any of them speaking up against it? I'm right aren't I

Actually I have commented on this bomber not Muslims in general. You must fear such morons reflect on all Muslims because you continue to conflate comments regarding specific Muslims into comments on all Muslims. Seems you are confused as well as rude.

If you "accidentally", blow yourself up while trying to bomb others...... is there still and expectation of waiting Virgins, among these types?

Haven't you heard? They ran out of virgins centuries ago.

I know you are saying that is what you are doing, and I am prepared to say that you might even believe it. The fact is however that speculation about the bomber's motives in terms of spurious interpretations of Koranic text are bigoted no matter what you believe.

It is not spurious to comment on what the terrorists themselves state they believe. Perhaps this bomber was merely avenging a cartoon and didn't care about the virgins?

What exactly do you know about this particular terrorist's beliefs? That's right, diddly squat. All you know is what you think suicide bombers should believe based on your interpretation of what the Koran tells its adherents. If that's not senseless speculation on something you know nothing about I don't know what is.

The fact is that this guy, whoever he was was a complete jerk because he thought that somehow violence would solve a problem he was having. That's all that's important, the condemnation of violence as a way to solve problems, not speculation on whether he might or might not believe in this or that interpretation of the Koran.

He didn't appear to act alone and his actions do not exist in a vaccum so it would appear you not I are grasping at straws to exclude the views some Muslims hold from this bombing MC.

You don't get it do you? I don't really care what muslims believe or don't believe as it happens. I do however know that any interpretation of the Koran that suggests that one can justify killing complete strangers is inherently amuslim. It's not that hard to grasp and yet it alludes both you and Danno, and several other regular posts in threads designed to portray musilms and the muslim religion as barbaric. Muslims are no better and no worse than anyone else. To put terrorism at the door of the muslim belief system misses the point and then some and plays into terrorist beliefs which is somewhat ironic don't you think?

[ready4ONE 5,400]

That you keep denying Muslim extrextremists the right to their beliefs is what's ironic.

How am I denying anyone the right to believe whatever nutty thing they want to? What I have said is that it is not a rational interpretation of Koranic text and it can't be used to suggest that all muslims are on a sliding scale of evil, which is what you and your buddies are continually doing when you bang on about muslim terrorists. There is nothing in the Koran that allows muslims to commit terrorist acts. NOT ONE VERSE, TEXT or TENET.

To MC, all Muslims are one in the same.

So if something is said about one Muslim with a bomb.. it must there for mean, all Muslims.

To UNderstand the Cleo Code, you have to think along the lines of her prejudicial thoughts.

She assumes you hate group X, so therefore everything you write is interpreted..... or should I say "Misinterprested" that way.

No Danno, that's not what I said and how anything I said is prejudicial belies logic. I said to call him a musilm terrorist and to speculate on his motivation based on pathetic and wrong interpretations of Koranic text is an exhibition of bigotry. I know you don't get it, I know you believe you are being fair and rational and you have separated the 'good muslims' from the 'bad' ones, but you are not and you have not - If I were to apply the same logic to the situation in Northern Ireland you would believe that members of the IRA are catholic terrorists and members of the INLA are protestant terrorists and both are christian terrorists, but you don't, do you?
