Islam is not exactly the problem for me. I just hate the terrorists like Hamas and Al-Qada that kill people and hijack building and then whine about "discrimination" and "we're not accepted". Of course, all the left sides with them because they're oh-so sensitive and POOR and it must be America's fault because America is rich. Those guys won't mind the slaughter of millions of Americans if it's for some sort of a "greater good".

Read <i>Infidel</i> by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Many African Muslim women are mutilated. In some parts of Somalia there is nothing but a broad band of flesh. Somali women who are in say Holland and who have to see a gynecologist beg to be sewed up again because if it's thought that they're not virgin, their families will kill them.

The number of Pakistani first cousins marrying in Britain is huge, with the concomitant birth defects, and the marriages are arranged. If the woman flees because her husband beats her, which is not considered bad at all, her brothers will kill her because she brought shame on the family.

And the Brits let all this happen, while sending gay Iranian youths back home to be murdered. Ah. There may not always be an England. Too bad.

I heard about all these horrors. However, as every peaceful anti-USA/Israel guy will tell you, these are ZIONIST LIES. Does it surprise you the Jews/Israel have to take the blame?

Frankly when I was a kid what I feared more than anything else was eternity. I feared heaven as much as hell. I loathed church; it was mind-numbingly boring; the Church of Christ in the 60s was tedious when it was scaring children to tears. There was <i>nothing</i> beyond burning in hell and they talked about the love of God. Yeah.

I was about six and the song leader, Charlie Smith, said that heaven would be an eternity of praising God, which was what we were doing in church. The four hours a week (20 twice a year with meetings) were the bane of my existence. I could think of nothing worse.

But then the preacher said that Jesus would come when were least expecting it. I thought that we could set up a relay of people looking above and saying, "Jesus, I'm waiting for you now..." and when one got tired another would start up. This would keep Jesus from coming. It's like Jesse Jackson fasting--which he does until he gets hungry and someone else, who's just eaten, fasts.

I don't know if it's good or bad for a child of six to be that sophistical.

The Radical Muslim Politburo Responds to the People's Cube

When we write our satires and parodies here, predicting their effect is hard to imagine. This thread, for example, has probably become #1 most resurrected of all our stories.

We accidentally stumbled upon today's post in Judeopundit titled MPAK-UK "exposes" People's Cube! for which we give the author a vigorous ushanka tip.

It turns out that a British Muslim site MPAC UK (Muslim Public Affairs Committee) "Shield of the Ummah" posted an editorial today titled EXPOSED: Double standards for freedom of expression, in which they castigate the People's Cube for "freely mocking Islam, our holy books and holy places."

Radical Muslim Politburo in MPAC UK wrote:Thursday, 02 July 2009

In the 21st century it is astonishing to note the double standards that one thing can be worthy of condemnation, yet, at the same time be defended by the freedom of press. There is nothing wrong with slandering the core principles of Islam, there is nothing wrong with calling our Prophet a terrorist because it's just freedom of expression. However, anti-Semitism and offending any other religions is absolutely wrong.

That is why we see websites such as https://thepeoplescube.com freely mocking Islam, our holy books and holy places. The site has a section called “Religion of Peace”, in which all you see is Islam being mocked and ridiculed. The site not only proudly announces Apple Mecca as an achievement, but also denounces Makkah even further by claiming the dissimilarity between the two is that there aren't ‘regular stampedes'(tawaf), killing ‘geeks'(pilgrims) and ‘female users covered from head to toe in black robes hiding their faces'. This Islamophobic site is a clear example of the double standards we are facing today. If a similar site was put up criticising Jewish rituals or practices it would not have been long before someone shouted 'anti-Semitism!' Such is the state the great 21st Century is in today. We talk about liberation, but I guess there is no such thing when it comes to certain people.

A wrong is a wrong always, with freedom comes responsibility, by escaping the self delusion and considering it a right, there is an urgent need for legislation in order to redress this imbalance. There should be restrictions and boundaries which condemn the misuse of the term “freedom of expression”, but there aren't any, why? This is because the people who have the power to condemn such act are the ones committing these acts. Under this pretence of this right of freedom of speech, they are destroying the peace and harmony of the whole society. The western world is renowned for its remarkable level of personal freedom, but rarely is the concept of personal responsibility even mentioned.

When will we open our eyes and realise how the media minimises the issue so easily? They manipulate your opinions and tell you what to think.It isn't enough to talk about peace - you must believe in it. Then it isn't enough to believe in it - you must work at it. Why aren't the Muslims keeping the issue large?

It is time for Muslims to wake up and earn their freedom!

It doesn't occur to them that the joke here is not on their religion but on the neurotic victimological attitude of many of its followers and their aptitude to get offended by various irrelevant nonsense, as well as their own misconceptions resulting from their failure to understand other cultures and to use a rational, logical analysis of the facts. The outrage regarding the cube-shaped Apple store in Manhattan was just one such example. There are more examples in the comments.

But setting things straight seems impossible with those who are driven by irrational collectivist urges, and so the whole discussion became an endless spiral of offended whining and irrelevant theological arguments - which misses the point entirely and is very ironic because the story ridicules exactly such a tendency of turning any argument into an endless spiral of offended whining.

And if previously the whining voices on this thread were those of various individuals, now we have an official whining voice of the Radical Muslim Politburo backing them up. They finally read our open letter to them and misinterpreted it completely. Instead of taking our advice to stop being ridiculous, they insist on acting ridiculously and expose themselves to even more ridicule. Back to square one.
<br>They write, "Under this pretence of this right of freedom of speech, they are destroying the peace and harmony of the whole society." Why does this sound so familiar? You've got a lot to learn, comrades in the Radical Muslim Politburo. We suggest you begin with our research on Offended Muslim Syndrome.

Where is my fatwa? I want my fatwa. Give it to me now, you stinking Radical Muslim Politburo. If you're going to condemn the People's Cube for not reigning in free expression of irony, then I want my fatwa, too. Let's see how your fatwa holds up to my shovel, and my Honzon (that's Japanese for revered object of focus).

Comrade S.A.F. Marshal Pravda,

You probably already heard this story:

"Friday Night Pig Racing (next door to the mosque)
Midland Reporter-Telegram ^ | 12/06 | Shanna Sissom

While Muslim faithful are worshiping Allah, sounds of liquored up Texans chasing greased pigs may soon be heard outside the mosque.

"Comin' soon weekly Friday night pig racin'" reads the sign in the Houston suburb of Katy. It goes on to promote a greased pig-catching contest, the opportunity to purchase a slow pig to save its life and--of all things--a pork cook-off. Bring your own bottle, the sign also says and boasts the availability of "clean port-o-pots."

It sounds like a rowdy Friday night outing, Texas style.

But the planned pig races are wallowing in controversy. A Muslim group having just purchased adjacent property to build a mosque is not amused by the new sign and upcoming swine activities as neighbors--including parishioners at a nearby church my mother pastors--are left wondering what's going to happen to the neighborhood.

Not far from the large pig racing sign, the other group has a small placard that says "KIA Community Center coming soon," I'm told, with the acronym standing for Katy Islamic Association.

This sort of thing, of course, attracts attention from media types and the pigs have already been in the news. Our sister Hearst newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, is among those following the story.

"Pig race leads to dirty argument," the headline read. TV news crews also got onboard, interviewing the property owner who posted the sign and pig pens.

The property owner claims the religious group had asked him to leave land occupied by his family since the 1800s, while Muslims deny ever having said that. But that's apparently what prompted the pig racing idea.

Pigs, as you probably know, are considered offensive and dirty animals by the religious group. Making matters worse, Fridays are considered a holy day for followers of Islam who--unless things change--will be flocking to the mosque while pig festivities are underway.

There is other opposition, as nearby homeowners in an upscale residential area have publicly expressed concern for mosque traffic, and fear the "unknown," as the Chronicle reported, while worrying what the construction of a gold dome-covered structure would mean for their own property values.

Meanwhile, mosque members say they're puzzled by all the intense opposition. I've not seen any reports of neighbors complaining about the pigs, but this thing is far from over.

Global Warming has its own section, so two of them, while numbers mean nothing in our Progressiveness, the question would be, would it be practical?

Really, the pig deserves the reverence that the religion of Mithra gave to the bull. If it weren't for pigs, the Conquistadors would have never taken half of this hemisphere, or the British, the other half. What has the Muslim world been missing all these last centuries? A fast-growing, cheap to feed source of domesticated protein.

Life is a cruel joke, so it's very important to grow a sense of humor.

Pweety Pweese?

It's hard to have a sense of humor when the world is laughing at you.

Commissar Theocritus wrote:It's hard to have a sense of humor when the world is laughing at you.

Or whipping you.

I don't think that the world has the balls to actually do it. The technology of course, and the ability. But the will? No. The Islamofascists hate us and we do damned near nothing. This is like someone who is sitting in his living room and the door is broken down and someone rushes inside with a knife.

The man has a gun, which he doesn't touch, saying, "Let's talk this over," before his throat is cut.

But our Dear Leader knows what to do. He knows that the reason they hate us is that we are disrespectful, we are meddlers, and we have no right to defend and help a democratic nation that is being attacked by them from all sides. That is why he bows, and kowtows, and gives interviews on Aljazeera. He'll make them like us, whether they are believers in the five caliphs or the nephew of Mohamed.

Comrades,

This is exactly why we need the Department of Education! By introducing religious studies as part of a diversity-based national curriculum, all American students can be asked to convert to Islam--unknowingly--by merely saying the requisite phrases in front of a Real Muslim®. That means we'll all become Muslims, peaceful, and tolerant without knowing it!

Of course, those who become proud brothers and vitamin D-deficient sisters with a tendency to fall down stairs or bump furniture real hard will soon realize we'll have to keep allowing ever more non-Muslims in so we can keep reaping the jiziya (or "protection money") so we needn't work.

Once all American women are wearing burqas, we will need a special welfare program for the hair burners, who will be out of work. Unless they go to work on the men's beards. Oh. I forgot. Half of them are gay and so they'll have a wall fall on them. But since that's done by Muslims, that's okay.

Also we'll need to make sure that our baby girls have clitorectomies, and also that they are sewn up to protect their value before marriage. Australia now has social outreach in his nationalized medicine to reach out to Muslim families.

To make sure that honor killings are truly honor killings, we need to have a procedure in place. If a girl is raped, then her brothers bring her into a nationalized hospital. The doctors examine her and if it is determined that she has had intercourse--if she has been broken apart--then she will be held until her all her male relatives can get to the hospital, where she will be stoned for hurting the family honor.

If we do that, then the Muslims will respect us.

I respectfully disagree. That piece from the MPAC UK isn't about the Apple Mecca piece. It isn't that "it doesn't occur to them" what is being made fun of. It isn't a question of the actual joke of the article or of any intent of the article. They are using the reference to the article as the gasoline to fuel their statement, their vehicle - which stops at the intended destination:

...there is an urgent need for legislation in order to redress this imbalance.

This is because the people who have the power to condemn such act are the ones committing these acts. Under this pretence of this right of freedom of speech, they are destroying the peace and harmony of the whole society.

That statement is the entire purpose of the article in MPC UK. The author wanted to say that. The Apple Mecca piece wasn't the impetus of the article. Their wish to control society was the impetus.

Margaret - and you are right as well. I was dealing with the reference to the story, you - with the purpose of their article, which is quite menacing. I didn't even realize that it was I who was "destroying the peace and harmony of the whole society." I thought it was the jihadist ideology. But what do I know?

I thought that "the peace and harmony" they had in mind was that of the slaves who obey the master's whip and are afraid to think lest they produce a thoughtcrime. That's "the peace and harmony" of those living under Sharia law. Now they would like to impose this "peace and harmony" on the "whole society," meaning obviously the entire world. And those who oppose them are the enemies of "the peace and harmony."

How do you say "Orwell" in Arabic? It's time someone wrote a sequel about life in Eastern Caliphate that has always been at war with Western Caliphate, protecting "the peace and harmony."

I keep coming across discouraging figures about how the Arab world has translated post-Muhammad (i.e., in 13-14 centuries, no?) as many books as Spain translates in a single year. I wonder what books they are. My guess is mostly non-fiction and instructional works. Anything from the 20th century on has sex in it and is thus probably haram. But from what I read elsewhere, Arab men with fast internet connections have a keen interest in porn. Far better to beat oneself (as it were) than to blow oneself up and take others with you.

But who knows? I'm guessing Animal Farm is automatically out because pigs rule.

Unless that's part of the porn.

For years the biggest seller, after the Koran, which I refuse to spell any other way, has been <i>Mein Kampf</i>. Islam is profoundly anti-intellectual. When I was immerded in Sunday School, there was a teacher, Charlie, really a pretty good fellow at heart, who thought that the Bible was literally true in every way. If I wasn't in the Bible, it wasn't true, or needed. I was 14 when I quit the high-school class and so never did ask him about things not in the Bible which we used.

The Church of Christ didn't believe in instrumental music, meaning that the music was a dirge. Why? Because it didn't say to use musical instruments. "Lift up your voices..." I suggested that the air conditioning was not mentioned in the Bible, nor were the pews or collection plates. The subject was changed in a hurry.

Some Christian religions are anti-intellectual as well, but they do <i>not</i> go around blowing up people.

Reminds me of something Rush Limbaugh said a few years ago: "The opposite of peace isn't war. The opposite of peace is tyranny."

I'd like to build the Jews a bomb
And furnish it with nails
Grow jihadis and martyrees
And wake the Twelfth Imam

I'd like to crush it in my arms
And show no sympathy
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once

All Muslim land to land
And hear them fatwa through the hills
For fear throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
An Ayatollah ruling us
And never goes away

(Repeat 1st stanza and Chorus)

Put your jiziya in my hand
Let's begin today
Put your jiziya in my hand
Or we'll chop your head away.

Comrades,

I feel guilty, ashamed and very much saddened (all good, mind you.)

Saddened, because Allah in his wisdom forgot to bestow humor on His People. Ashamed, because the author of the article has to compare himself to the filthy jooz. Guilty, because we have not thought about hog races next to a Synagogue on the Sabbath.

I just wonder how the jooz would take it. Would they have their rabbis call for the death of the infidels? In their religious magnanimosity, of course they wouldn't! Shame on them!

Prog off.

WTF? Come on people, God gave us a sense of humor! I didn't get stoned by my German Baptist brethren when I suggested that when Jesus didn't do so well in the carpentry business, he woke up one day and decided to start a religion, which would be more lucrative anyway. I got some dropped jaws but a bunch of chuckles, too. Look at Mel Brooks! How does the old saying go? You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Maybe it's just The People's Psyche. Perhaps millenia of persecution only left faith and humor to deal with the uncertainties and horrors they had to deal with. If you ever want to get a good laugh, read a book featuring Jewish humor.

To the muzies: yes, we have the right to freely express ourselves. We do not have the right not to be offended. I am offended by dung on religious objects, but I would defend the "artist's" right to offend me. Go back to the Dar-es-Salaam if you don't like it. Grow up.

You are correct. We do not have a right to NOT be offended. Unfortunately, thanks to Political Correctness (one of the religions of Socialist Fascism), many are lead to believe that they DO indeed have a right to not be offended. And that is the problem. The Left needs the proles to be victims.

Several years ago, here at my company, we had this young lady who would run to HR and file a complaint over the slightest perceived thing that offended her. Her supervisor, as he walked in the door, said to another woman (not the whiner) "Good Mornin' Darlin'" (as he is from the South as I am and where we consider the employment of the word "Darlin'" to be polite, or good manners.). Off to HR she went. That's just one example out of dozens of stupid crap she would file a complaint about. Several months later, she was caught padding her time & attendance sheet with over time hours that she did not work. It seems the logs of when she badged in to unlock the front door did not jive with her timesheet. She was hauled into HR by her supervisor and she was fired on the spot. She sued the company. The company settled out of court. Rumor had it that it was a six figure settlement, but no one knows due to non-disclosure agreements. Like a lot of companies today, it caved in rather than fight her in court because the complainant was female and black. Thus, unwilling to endure "the possibility" of any negative press. Essentially, she ripped the company off twice. She was a classic example of a delusional self-image of victimhood.

Years ago, many Christians (both Protestant and Catholic) were offended by Madonna's "Like a Prayer" music video. I was not offended. I didn't care one way or the other. She has a right to freely express herself. They have the right to change the channel and not watch her videos and the right to not buy her albums or listen to her music in any way. They do not have a right to not be offended.

Was Madonna...

Whipped? No.
Caned? No.
Stoned to death? No.
Arrested and jailed? No.
Beheaded? No.

Had she been in Iran and insulted Islam, similar in manner to how she offended Christianity, I think we can all agree that it would have been a different story.

In my opinion, Islam is at the same state of development as Christanity was during the dark ages up until the late 18th century. Where people were being burned at the stake for nothing more than superticious paranoia. Or, locked in dungeons for mathematically proving the orbits of planets because it threatened the religious authority's dogmatic belief that God put the Earth at the center of the universe because it was special to him.

It is long overdue for the Islamic world to grow up, teach and practice tolerance not jihad, and grow a sense of humor.

Eight years, ago my grandmother in southwestern Nebraska passed away and I needed a plane ticket to get out there. The airline declined my credit card as I was over the limit. I called the credit card company and asked for a $100 extention. They refused. I told them what it was for. I offered to give them the number to the funeral home to verify what I am saying. I talked to a supervisor. They wouldn't budge. In the end my mom wired me $100 dollars and I made it to my grandmother's funeral.

I was offened. But so what. We are all free to do business with whoever we wish. When I got back home I opened an account with another credit card company, transfered the balance over, and closed the other credit card account. Incredibly, the offending credit card company called me 4 days later wanting to know why I transfered out the balanced and closed the card out. I told them what went down, and I said "When I needed assistance due to a death in the family for a pawltry $100 credit limit extention, you're company did not fail to help me. It deliberately REFUSED to help me. Hence, I will no longer do business with your company.". Then I hung up on her.

I respectfully disagree. That piece from the MPAC UK isn't about the Apple Mecca piece. It isn't that "it doesn't occur to them" what is being made fun of. It isn't a question of the actual joke of the article or of any intent of the article. They are using the reference to the article as the gasoline to fuel their statement, their vehicle - which stops at the intended destination:

...there is an urgent need for legislation in order to redress this imbalance. There should be restrictions and boundaries which condemn the misuse of the term “freedom of expression”, but there aren't any, why? This is because the people who have the power to condemn such act are the ones committing these acts.

Margaret,

I agree and I would add

That it does not matter if it is concerning Islamic fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Socialism, Communism, Nazism, Obamunism, or whatever. In the end, it is always about controlling the masses. This is why a constitutional republic founded on Democratic principles is an affront to religious fundamentalists, political extremists (e.g. Obama), and the like. The masses have a choice in their governance. Whether the choice is a wise one, or even exercised at all, is irrelevant. The masses vote for those to represent them in the government. If the masses are dissatisfied with that person, they vote that person out at the next election. This is also why we in the U.S. have the 2nd amendment in our Constitution and an armed civilian population. For if civility should ever break down and the elected representative(s) should refuse to relinquish power as they clearly are not afraid of their constituents at the ballot box, then they will fear their constituents at the business end of their constituent's firearms.

In Iran, the elected representatives are mere figureheads with no real power. The real power is with a supreme religious council. They make the rules. This is why Iran has poured so much of their resources into the terrorists in Iraq so that a democratic constitutional republic cannot survive. Because they knew that it could spill over into Iran and threaten their power. To some degree it already has. As to whether this current uprising succeeds, only time will tell, but I think it is looking bleak.

I truely believe that if the Prophet Mohammad were alive today and he saw what Islamic fundamentalism was about today, I think he would be horrified by what he would see. I do hope some Muslim extremist is offended by that last statement. For it would prove to me just how stupid religious fundamentalists are. That includes extremists of ALL religions.

I saw a bumper sticker once that said "Oh Lord! Please protect me from your followers!". I could not agree more!!!

Not quite sure about that--dear Mo had quite a history of outrageous acts. But I think that you've hit the nail on the head with Christianity.

Mean people use whatever means they can to justify their meanness. Fred Phelps and his crew use Christianity. In another part of the world they'd use Mohammed. In another...

My upbringing is Christian fundamentalism. I've written about how horrible it was to the children--and this from essentially good people. People who decent and honest. Still these people are attracted to this view of the world, needing the certainty of it. Fundamentalism relieves people of the need to make difficult judgments and the need to do deep thinking, for it's all ordained for them.

Blokhayev, Vlad,

I disagree with the statement that ALL fundamentalist religions are bad. I'd rather be loved by a fundamentalist Christian (not the errant ones) than blown to bits by a fundamentalist Muslim.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (NIV)

Koran, 9.29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

See the difference?

I suggest the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades as reading material.

And, as a disclaimer, I do have muslim friends (well I used to have them, but our paths separated over the years.) One was a childhood friend and son of Turkish immigrants in Germany. Religion per se never came up, I just helped him with his homework, and was a friend. The other was a young lady from Algeria whose dad had to flee to France because his "brethren" were after his life. She was a co-worker of mine. Once a month the company sponsored a breakfast, and she'd laugh along whenever we suggested the "Pig'n Pancake" restaurant. She was also a teacher at a local mosque. She probably would have been stoned for that elsewhere.

FINE! LET'S HAVE ANOTHER DENOUNCEFEST! IT'S NOT LIKE THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN ME INTO TROUBLE BEFORE! I DENOUNCE EVERYONE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, ALL FOR THE GREATER GOOD AND THE CHILDREN!

Pieck, I too agree that a fundamentalist Christian may indeed be a very fine fellow, and is very unlikely to kill you. And these days, probably not even look at you funny. I feel sorry for Christians on the whole because they are the pariahs in today's Zeitgeist. (Because they <i>won't</i> fight back, I think because libtards are cowards who only pick on people who won't. That's why they Monica the Muzzies.)

Still, the Bible is very sanguinary; the Old Testament God is mean and nasty; the one of the New Testament is better. But still there are things that give one cause to wonder.

The <a href="https://skepticsannotatedbible.com/crue ... >Skeptic's Bible</a> did some fairly deep digging. I think that they're reaching in some of this, but nonetheless if you read literally what went on, it's not a Shirley Temple movie.

Did you comrades hear that the Goracle said that fighting climate change is like fighting the Nazis? That's loopy even by Gore standards.

Pieck, would you be interested in forming a joint venture for a portable denunciation kit? Comes with a bull horn, a stool to step on, and a tee-shirt lettering press. Also fake dirt so you can have that seedy radical look without actually harboring vermin in your hair or true grime on your elbows.

Oh, I fully agree that the OT is very gory, if you peel back the euphemisms. God really told the Israelites to kill all these folks, and for the most part they did. I love how secprogs and muzzies use this as an excuse for modern day terrorists, as in "look, God told those people, too, to kill."

Well he did, but unless you are a Peresite, Jebusite, Hittite, or whatever, you have nothing to worry about. But, since we live in the muslim dar al-harb, I am a bit worried.

BTW, have you ever heard of Landover Baptist Church? They are a wonderful group of people that, if they were not opposed to everything The People's Cube stood for, would fit right in...

Yes, as a professional denouncer, the PDK ™ is a good tool for the members of the proletariate willing to work as rank-and-file Stasi informers. Brilliant idea! Except the bull horn only works for public denouncements. For the secret ones we need to include one-button cell phones with direct contact to Comradka Laika.

However, I am not so sure about the "joint venture" thing. Methinks you are in need of some further re-education or at least a jiffy-lobo, to get these kapitalist thoughtcrimes out of your head. This said, consider yourself denounced!

Pieck, when I say joint venture, I mean that I come up with the idea and you provide the capital, make it, and sell it, and render unto me most of the profits.

That's a J.V. in my books. See how progressive I am?

Very funny, Igor,

You really ought to drop by more often. It's always a pleasure to see your twisted sweet little face.

Thought y'all might want to know how I see things from a Buddhist perspective. I have been practicing Buddhism for 32 years. Buddhism is an old religion. There are many branches and shoots. When the Buddha (Gautama) was first training in disciples, he gave them all kinds of precepts to follow: eat this, don't eat that, etc., then, as an old man, he told them to throw out everything he had taught them. Many thought he was crazy, and continued with the precepts (Hinayana Buddhism), others took to his higher teachings (Mahayana Buddhism), others practiced an amalgam of the two-like Tibetan Buddhism (for which I, personally, have no respect).

The kind of Buddhism I practice is diametrically opposed to most forms of Buddhism you have ever heard of, which for me, personally means: I have desires and it's okay-I'm not planning to squelch them so I can attain enlightenment. I am an omnivore - I eat everything from squid to Rocky Mountain oysters.

To me, a valid religion ought to be medicinal (no, not an opiate -- medicinal). And, although I am no longer a Christian, I have more respect for Christians and Christianity as a whole than I ever did before I became a Buddhist. Christianity works for many. In my case, it was just a matter of switching to a medicine that worked. With that said, I would not have the luxury of practicing my particular branch of Buddhism were it not for America (a Christian country) defeating the evil, and I mean evil, Shinto government of Japan, a religion much like that practiced by Al-Qa-hate-you.

How do I see Islam? Islam is a primitive religion full of stifling, worthless precepts aimed at controlling people that also sets its members apart from others as being superior and above all others.

As I said above, for me, religion is a matter of faith, not of what I eat, how I dress, how I relate to the opposite sex, how I have sex, with whom I have sex, etc. Of course, the Ten Commandments are basic precepts that make sense to me. They all relate to the Law I revere as a Buddhist (the Law of Causality). But where is the bad cause for me in eating pork, or a sea bug (a piece of shrimp), or in perming my hair instead of chopping it off and wearing a wig?

Fine, there are those who want to restrict what they eat, what they wear, but don't force your precepts on me.

As a Buddhist, I don't believe anyone will go to hell if they don't convert to my religion. But if you disregard the law of causality, I do believe you may well work yourself into such a karmic hole, that you may eventually morph into a creature not human in your next existence - that is where my belief is a matter of faith - as this is something I cannot prove or disprove - however, I have no interest in shoving this belief down your throat.

When I was a child I was immerded in endless sermons which were the blight of my life. Tedious when not terrifying. I recall the song leader talking about heaven being an eternity of praising god in the fashion that we were doing and there was <i>nothing</i> I wanted less. Nothing.

I developed a horror of immortality. Even as a kid I could see that I'd get tired of everything eventually. Decades later I found the Romans and Greeks knew it, and if you read the last (half) chapter of <i>The History of the World in 10-1/2 Chapter</i> by Julian Barnes, you'll get a comic version of a heaven which eventually becomes hell through boredom.

I recall when I was about listening to a preacher quote that Jesus would come when we least expect it. And because church was the horror of my young life, dreadful, awful horror, I formed the idea of people expecting, in gangs, "Jesus, I'm looking for you now!" to keep him from coming.

Later on I found that the Reverend Jesse Jackson would go on a hunger strike for one of his shake-downs. He'd fast, until he got hungry, and then someone else would take his place in the fast.

At least I was six or so when I engaged in this sophistry. But then he got rich off of of his.

Commissar Theocritus,

What really bothers me about what they did to you was the level of servitude they demanded from you and other parishioners. They seemed to advocate a form of slavery.

To me, a cardinal sin of practicing Buddhism is to look outside oneself for the causes of one's misery and/or good fortune. This is why I loath progs (not to mention how arch-progs once confiscated my father's home and business). They look outside of themselves for government to solve their problems. They are far more like that minister in your church of childhood, and this is ironic, as so many of them have a loathing for Christians.

Their god is government, and the messiah has not only arrived, he is about to bring them all that was promised (or so they think), which will, indeed enslave them.

Yes, their god is government which will bring them the salvation of not having to be responsible. If you buy insurance, you're buying into a shared-risk pool. That's voluntary. If you have socialism, you're involuntarily being forced into buying something run by someone else and which you cannot fire. The first is fine. It's optional. The second is compulsory, and it's not fine at all.

I think I may have done it right this time, but if not we can just delete the whole post.

Pinkie - your image isn't showing because it grows on someone's webmail server patch. Could you please dig it out from there with your shovel and replant it at the Cube's picture garden? You know the drill.

Little Sheet Heads. I can only assume that this is the result of Irritable Vowel Syndrome. Otherwise I'd have to get pissed at the bigotry.

Sheets are so versatile. They can be used for bedding, wiping, diapering, mopping, dusting, straining, as drop cloths, togas, KKK costumes, escape ropes when tied together, and for self strangulation. And most creatively for self-demarcation as a sheet-head.

I'm a sheet-head, he's a sheet-head, wouldn't you like to be a sheet-head, too?

Little sheet-head, sweet little sheet-head.

They can also be used to make heads impervious to any thoughts at all. In this they're better than mu-metal.

This showed up in my e-mail this evening:

A customer goes into an adult toy store and asks for an inflatable doll.

Sales Clerk: "Male or female?"

Customer: "Female."

Sales Clerk: "Black or white?"

Customer: "White."

Sales Clerk: "Christian or Muslim?"

Customer: "What difference does religion make?"

Sales Clerk: "The Muslim doll blows itself up."

Thank you, Commissarka; I am going to steal that. And thank you for your editing--this is <i>first</i> time ever that I haven't had to clean up the typography, grammar, or punctuation of something I've stolen.

BTW, do you recall the website of the Detroit public schools? There were more than half as many solecisms as words on the first page.

Thank you, Theocritus--I believe presentation to be as important as content.

And did you mean this about the Detroit public school website? The first paragraph alone gave me a headache:

http://www.detroit.k12.mi.us/

Detroit Public Schools, Michigan's largest school district, serves nearly 90,000 students in 172 schools throughout the city of Detroit. The district's mission is to create Centers of Excellence in every school in every neighborhood. [HIGHLIGHT=#ffff00]The school systems' administration, teachers and staff have a laser-like focus on creating learning opportunities to prepare children for the 21^st Century and ensure they can compete in a global economy.[/HIGHLIGHT] The district has five of the best public high schools in America, according to U.S. News and World Report. Last year, the district led the state in the number of National Achievement Scholarship winners. Read on to learn more about the opportunities behind the doors of every Detroit Public School, and you, too, will want to say, “I'm in.”

The highlighted sentence has to be my favorite. When it takes four verbs to state their job is to educate children, they scarcely have a laser-like focus on their goal.

Commissar Theocritus wrote:Little Sheet Heads. I can only assume that this is the result of Irritable Vowel Syndrome.

That's pretty good, Theocritus, but perhaps a more precise description of the phenomenon would be the Irritable Towel Syndrome (ITS).

ITS is another way of identifying "Offended Muslim Syndrome" described by us almost two years ago here: https://thepeoplescube.com/red/viewtopic.php?t=1621

Red, I have to admit that I stole that Irritable Vowel Syndrome from <i>The Spectator</i>.

Pinkie, this is the revamped Detroit public-school website. The old one was simple and a grab-bag of solecism.

For some reason your quotation reminds me of the menu in Typhoon! (and the shriek mark is theirs), the hotel restaurant in the Hotel Lucia in Portland, Oregon. It's Thai, and convinced me that I can give Thai a miss. After many tries.

It started off with a mission statement, which is always ominous, that ran something like: "I wanted to have the very best ingredients but people told me that diners couldn't tell if I had the very best ingredients. But I said, no I have to have the best ingredients because people <i>can</i> tell." Or something like that. Oh hell, semantically it was just like that.

First, if you can't find good ingredients in the northwest, you're dead. Try West Texas. Second, it was as precious as an old woman's poodle. And third, I ate there twice and didn't finish any dish, save one. Not bad, just boring. And fourth, it was as flattering to the clientele as an AmEx platinum brochure. (To do them credit, if you ignore what they're pandering, they quit.)

This only confirms my diktat that anything with a mission statement is going to use the mission statement as an excuse beforehand. Go to the FedEx website. In the fewest clicks of all you get right down to it. Even the smut websites don't have mission statements, not that I know them all.

I'm posting this video for purely scientific purposes. Here's an empirical proof that progressive multiculturalism is demolishing Western cultures, resulting in degradation, balkanization, tribalism, and replacing the Western idea of reason, liberty, and democracy with irrational, bloodthirsty mob rule. Way to go, British comrades!

Ushanka tip to Gates of Vienna.

Progressives revel in the self-degradation required by the self-hatred they have for being such nasty and inconsequential little shits. They have brass check and brass balls but no real balls, folding every time anyone says boo to them, if that person might hurt them.

Since they don't believe in personal responsibility they don't understand pride.

And every day and nearly all day there are Muslims protesting outside the Israeli embassy. But when some Israeli protestors displayed the Israeli flag, they were warned off and threatened for endangering the peace, by the British police.

I'm so glad to find that the Brits are becoming as utterly craven and cowardly as the AmeriKKKans.

There are times that I feel I must leave Texas. After the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, some Iranians were protesting the Great Satan in Austin. Some frat boys got some Louisville sluggers and some 2x4s and beat the living shit out of them. There were no more protestors.

I really do have to go to somewhere more tolerant.

I even got a cartoon of an old battleaxe named Maxine, who said, "I'm told calling them towelheads is insensitive. But a towel is a little sheet. So I'm going to call them little Shiite-heads."

"Holy shiite" I think that rather sums it up.

There's no one so blind, as those who refuse to see.

Who, in their right mind, would ever chose to be part of a religion like islam, who demands the murder of any who oppose? No love, no charity, no forgive, and NO salvation. And trolls are no worth wasting time on. Refer back to sentence #2.
