Albert Flasher Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 [quote name='Jubei Yagyou']I agree with you that all terrorists are not muslims, but, muslims DO have terrorism condoned in their religion. Isn't it true that muslims believe that if you die while trying to destroy an enemy during a Jihad they will be greeted in heaven by 40 virgins? I'm not 100% percent sure but it's something like that.[/quote] [COLOR=Sienna] All religions have passages that condone violence againts someone or other. It stems from religion originally being a way to galvanize a group of people to one ideal or another, many of them being violent in nature. When the Christian crusaders invaded the Muslim world, for example, passages like that were used to make soldiers fanatically loyal and basically suicidal. It's interesting that, when a religious group isn't under great diress (Either millitary or some other form of stress) these passages seem to get swept under the rug for when they're necessary.

Farto the Magic Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 [quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']Untrue, terrorists can take any shape or form. The IRA and the UVF are two cases of Catholic and Protestant terrorist groups, regardless of what they prefer to call themselves, who are not followers of Allah. Also Farto, and I think I speak for every religious person here regardless of creed, but no true follower of any major faith condones terrorism.[/SIZE][/quote] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]I totally forgot about the Irish thing.

Box Hoy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 [quote name='fartothemagic][quote']Not All Muslims Are Terrorists.[/quote] But all terrorists are muslims.[/quote] [size=1]Hmm. I have to disagree with you here. Here's why (and don't blame me for using wikipedia!) [quote name='wikipedia.org']Terrorism is the systematic use or threatened use of violence to intimidate a population or government and thereby effect political, religious, or ideological change.[/quote] So tell me? How does the Ku Klux Klan differ from this definition. I understand that they aren't as horrible as they once were but this just proves that terrorism isn't and has never been exclusive to one group. Take Timothy McVeigh for example. He is a right wing christan who is responisble for the bombing of an FBI building in Oklahoma. What about Eric Rudolph who bombed the Altlana Olympics in 1966. Or the Army of God, who encourage the burning of clinics and the killing of doctors and nurses who perform abortions. All of these people have one thing in common. They aren't muslims. This all leads back to the cause of this entire problem. Stereotyping. In no way is it acceptable when people aim at killing each other and using violence to fix things.

BlueEyedAngel Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Since you've already determined that whatever church it is I go to you're going to avoid it, I will not say what church I go to. But rest assured, my church is not racist or anti-semetic, in fact, it's not even nationalist. Replacement theology is not anti-semetic. When it comes to the conflict in the Middle East, my church is more sympathetic towards the Lebanese and the Palestinians than it is towards Israel. I should mention that racism and separatism are not a white phenominom. Take Israel for example. Not all the terrorists are Muslims, many of them are Jewish Zionists. The Israelis basically kicked the Palestians off their land to make way for the "chosen people". What about the Native American reservations in the US? Isn't that a form of separatism? It is indeed, but I respect the Native American right to preserve their own race and culture. If diversity and multiculturalism are so great, would anyone care to explain why the Middle East is so unstable? I should also point out, since we're all anime fans, that Japan is far from being multicultural. The population of Japan is 99.3% ethnic Japanese. This is no coinsidence. The Japanese are fiercly nationalistic. Their immigration system favors immigrants of there own ethnic stock. It's ok for the Japanese to do this, but if white people did this it would be "racist". Did you know that Israel has a "Jew only" immigration policy. Did you know that Saudi Arabia has a "Muslim only" immigration policy? By the way, for those of you who are wondering about my ethnic background. I'm about 25% English, and there's also some Scottish, Irish, and German, but I don't know percents. Ok, so America is a "nation of immigrants". Just for the sake of arguement, I'll go along with that. But take Europe for example, Europe has been homogenously white for the last 44,000 years. Non-white immigrants didn't start arriving in Europe until as recently as the 1950's. I know that there have been non-white Muslims in places like Spain and Italy, but those Muslims invaded Europe; they weren't welcomed as immigrants. When Britain was a homogenous nation, it was culturally stable. But the government couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to make it a multicultural society. The British people had (and still have) no say what so ever about the immigration policy. In history there have been many races and tribes that have diminished. But whites hold a unique place in history; they are the first race to diminish voluntarily. How do my parents feel about my white nationalism? I'd say my Dad is, more or less, understanding. My Mom is not quite as understanding. As far as she is concerned, race isn't even an issue. One time I made a racist remard and my Dad warned me that I could warrant violence from a person of another race. I replied "but if they made a racist remard about me, could I use violence against them?". He said the I could, but Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics are the ones doing most of the killing. So he pretty much made my point. I disagree with him about the Asians, though, they are actually, for the most part, less violent than whites. Did you know that the average IQ for Asians is 120; for whites,100; for blacks, 80? That's not a racist remard, that's statistics. If you disagree with me, I encourage you do do your own research on the correlation between race and IQ. I believe my IQ is about 124. Perhaps "comfortable" is not the word I'm looking for. I'm more or less comforable around other races. I think the word I'm looking for is "at home". I feel like I'm more "at home" when I'm around other white Anglo-Saxons. Enought for now. TTYL. P.S.

My problem is not with you. You seem like a relatively smart person. I understand and see why you think the way you do, but I don't agree with it. I can't accept it. No more analogies. Anyone can, at any time, pull out an analogy to support thier side of any particular issue, no matter what the issue or analogy. My point is, it's people like you that are holding us back. This isn't meant to be a personal attack, so try not to take it as such. People that take things on looks alone. You have other 'reasons' or 'ideals' that you use to dignify and accentuate your beliefs, but they're all hollow. You're just like the sick bastard that dumped me because I don't have a barbie doll figure. Race. It means nothing. We should throw it all away. But you make that impossible. It's sad.

On a different note, I'm a big anime fan, but you might not want to assume that [I]everyone[/I] here is.

As well as that by your logic, those responsible for deciding who gets to live in America should be Native Americans, seeing as it was their land before anyone else?s.

At nearly 46% of homicides in the US, we?re as violent as anyone else. Besides you can?t seriously attribute criminality to anyone one race, that?s simply foolish. Crime is based more on circumstance than genes.[/SIZE] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']Did you know that the average IQ for Asians is 120; for whites,100; for blacks, 80? That's not a racist remark, that's statistics. If you disagree with me, I encourage you to do your own research on the correlation between race and IQ. I believe my IQ is about 124.[/quote] [SIZE=1]The average European IQ is about 110 as I recall to the American 100, does that mean America are inferior to Europeans because we?re 10% smarter ?[/SIZE] [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']Perhaps "comfortable" is not the word I'm looking for. I'm more or less comfortable around other races. I think the word I'm looking for is "at home". I feel like I'm more "at home" when I'm around other white Anglo-Saxons.[/quote] [SIZE=1]If that?s the case then there might be something wrong with your Irish and Scottish genes, if I were to take a leaf out of your book, you should feel very uncomfortable around Ango-Saxons because of what they did repeatedly to your people. But then maybe you?re smart enough to see that you can?t judge people based on their country of origin.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaryanna Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 [COLOR=SeaGreen]In general I really don?t understand the need to make a distinction between people who look different due to superficial things like skin, hair and eye color. Because in the end we are all humans whether we are black, white, Asian etc. There are going to be some differences, but most of those are due to the surrounding environment and social influences that people encounter due to where they were born and then raised. I come from a family that on one side they use to be plantation owners and had slaves before the civil war. And to this day many of those relatives still think they are better than other races and I just don?t understand that attitude. I fail to see how they don?t feel ashamed that their ancestors enslaved other human beings for profit and gain. Some of them are part of why my parents moved to Utah. They wanted to leave that kind of nonsense behind and raise me and my siblings in an environment where that type of racism didn?t exist. Though we ended up with the religious one of the major religion thinking they are the only one, but that?s another topic. If you are wondering, I am a blonde blue eyed white girl, but in no way does that make me any smarter or better than anyone else. Nor do I feel the need to be only with others similar to me. Anyway, what I?m trying to say is that though I respect your right to feel and believe the way you do BlueEyedAngel, I do not understand it and in all honesty I hope I never feel like you do. I much prefer the diversity that comes with being a part of all of humanity instead of just one little piece of it. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box Hoy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']Out of curiosity, what do you think Japan would be like if it embraced multi-culturalism?[/quote] Probably just like America is now, except of course they've got cool phones and jet packs.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 [quote name='BlueEyedAngel']Out of curiosity, what do you think Japan would be like if it embraced multi-culturalism?[/quote] [size=1]It would be Japan. With other cultures. You seem to think the world ends with two or more cultures coexist, when in reality this is far from the truth.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farto the Magic Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 [QUOTE]Since when has there been diversity and multi-culturalism in the Mid East? And if you want to know why the Mid East is such a shithole right now, look no further than you're 'white race.' It was European and (More recently) American people who invaded the Mid East and colonialised (Not colonised) their countries. A european minority ruled the countries and opressed the hell out of the natives, which lead to a lot of unstableness and now terrorism. It was the 'white race' that created the whole situation. They ****** things up even worse in Africa and Asia.[/QUOTE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkGreen]That's so true. White people, you are screw-ups! Oh, that's me? My bad. We totally screwed the world up. Especially africa. We cut territories based on landmarks and straight lines and disallowed the natives to trade and procreate with others across the borders. We broke up tribes and generally screwed it all up. Sadly, I wonder if africa will ever be stable. As for the IQ thing, I think country music lower the IQs of people, not race.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEyedAngel Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 I don't condone colonialism. I believe it undermined the right of the Asian and African peoples to independence, sovereinty, and self-determination. But what is multi-culturalism but counter-colonialism. One quick off-topic question... Does anyone know the band The Soil Bleeds Black? [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1][INDENT][B]BlueEyedAngel[/B], I've merged your two posts together. In the future please do not double post. If you need to add something just use the edit button in the lower right hand corner of your post. Also please keep to the topic at hand if you wish to discuss bands we do have a forum for that titled Music, Movies & TV. ~indifference[/INDENT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
