Really? You don't understand it? Amazing.
I take it everyone else knows why it is important to challenge these things? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I wouldn't put it that way. The vast majority of people in the West who follow a religion are peaceful. Imagine what it would be like if they weren't!
Religious extremism needs slapping down hard.

By their definition as an athiest, they can't be. They cannot be demonic either. |

Don't make me tap the map They aren't, but I mean I have the full sweep within a few miles...
- black Christian neighbourhood
- Asian Muslim neighbourhood
- Jewish neighbourhood
- athiest neighbourhood
Even though the athiest neighbourhood is full of insufferable shitlibs it's the nicest of the four, and in my experience white working class areas are alright, the bad ones are in areas of actual deprivation, not areas with £500k+ houses that people claim is 'the hood'
One other issue is religious trends change, if the memes are true you have Muslim countries like Iran becoming a lot more strict in recent decades, which I can believe as Muslim kids at school that were nice and moderate within no time became...

It seems to be like being on a drug, all it takes is for your dealer/religious leader to up the dose. |

I think your "neighbourhoods" are all just a construct of your mind anyway. You're too much of a fan of the sweeping generalisation.
Modern liberals don't have neighbourhoods or communities. They tore down all their borders, so the words are meaningless for them. In fact, everything is meaningless for them. They want to belong everywhere, but have found they belong nowhere.
And you M.C - where do you fit in all of this? What neighbourhood or community are you a part of, that you can call 'home'? Is it real, or just another construct of your mind? Or perhaps you are alone, like the liberals, belonging nowhere? But at least you are happier than all these others ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Maybe it was nothing to do with Islam?
Rushdie has always struck me as an annoying twat of the first water. Perhaps the guys wife had dragged him along to the lecture and he'd had all he could stand?
I mean, we're talking America here. It's not exactly difficult to get hold of a gun, so if you were setting out with the intention of killing someone, why would you go with a knife? If you could sneak a knife in, you could sneak a gun in. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Good job the Joho's have a sense of humour otherwise Trey Parker and Matt Stone would have been strung up years ago, eh?
The irony is, that fast forward to current day and the Satanic Verses are essentially a leftie refugees welcome type's absolute wet dream as far as its deeper meanings go.
Quote: | After the Satanic Verses controversy developed, some scholars familiar with the book and the whole of Rushdie's work, like M. D. Fletcher, saw the reaction as ironic. Fletcher wrote "It is perhaps a relevant irony that some of the major expressions of hostility toward Rushdie came from those about whom and (in some sense) for whom he wrote."[9] He said the manifestations of the controversy in Britain:
embodied an anger arising in part from the frustrations of the migrant experience and generally reflected failures of multicultural integration, both significant Rushdie themes. Clearly, Rushdie's interests centrally include explorations of how migration heightens one's awareness that perceptions of reality are relative and fragile, and of the nature of religious faith and revelation, not to mention the political manipulation of religion. Rushdie's own assumptions about the importance of literature parallel the literal value accorded the written word in Islamic tradition to some degree. But Rushdie seems to have assumed that diverse communities and cultures share some degree of common moral ground on the basis of which dialogue can be pieced together, and it is perhaps for this reason that he underestimated the implacable nature of the hostility evoked by The Satanic Verses, even though a major theme of that novel is the dangerous nature of closed, absolutist belief systems |
TL;DR - immigrants get bad deal, can't integrate properly cos colonialism bad, get manipulated in their faith by political intervention. |
