AntiPleasure 2007-02-12 ch 1,	abuseHmm so you haven't updated at all, I seemed to forget to look that it was "2006" in your last poem. lol 'tis been a while just thought I'd say hi anyways.
MaxxRidarr 2005-11-29 ch 1,	abuseyou suck.
twenty-second seduction 2005-09-26 ch 1,	abuseI don't necessarily agree with you. I mean, the Qu'ran is a fairly peaceful book. You just have to look deep into it. & I'm not just saying that cos I'm a Muslim. I think one of the main reasons that Islam is looked at as a "violent" religion, it's because of the people that "publicly practice it". Like Osama, Saddam, and those suicide bombers. Like every religion, someone has their own agenda and tries to justify it using religion. I agree with Death Princess, most of the acts done "in the name of Islam" have nothing to do with the principles of Islam itself. I don't disagree with you when you saw that Islam has a fascist side; it does. It's just not true to the Qu'ran. If you take the time to read the Qu'ran, without any anger or thoughts of hate, you'll find that it's not what you expected. I thank you for writing this article, I really do. It's explained so much about how people view Islam, and that saddens me. Partly because I know that the Islam portrayed by "Muslim Jihadists" is all **. Anyway, how violent can a religion be if a person who followed it to heart, during the time when it had just started, had said "Killing one person is like killing all of humanity, and saving one person is like saving all of humanity."?
Death Princess 2005-09-11 ch 1,	abuseim a british muslim and i can understand how ur views are founded because muslims nowadays dont exactli go out of their way making good impressions on nonmuslims and promating our religion. on the contrary their usually puttin false impressions in ppl minds. i wud just like to say tht most of the things tht u hve pointed out are to do with the muslims and their problems and not the problems of the actual religion. the actual religion in no way promotes violence but in actuallity prehibits it. we are only aloud violence in self defense and even then it is only the ppl who oppress us and not innocent civillians or women, children and the old. the reality is tht nowadays muslims claim 2 be muslims but in actuality there are very few real muslims left. islam is the quran and even the quran should be judged as a whole and not from individual lines to get the real effect. i can completely understand the anger u feel towards our religion because the things tht are happening nowadays in 'the name of islam' arent exactly pretty. personally i dont agree with wat those ppl are doin and i know plenty of muslims who agree tht violence only begets violence. i would ask of you not 2 blame this completely on the religion but on the many interpretations tht have been made of the religion becuz frankly humans are humans no matter wat religion and most of the socalled muslims who are bombing ppl are not 2 my mind muslims and i wud right more but my sisters tryin 2 sleep. so yeah ive g2g anyways i hope i hve in no way offended u and if i hve im sorry. my intent was just 2 say tht plz dont judge the religion upon the idiotic ppl who supposedly follow it. cuz 9 times out of ten their deluded. :p anyways bye
Tool Fanatic 2005-08-15 ch 1,	abuseIt's almost insane how much more I learn from you than anything else. I suppose it has something to do with certain things I don't know about at the time, but after reading more of your political writings (which I actually read on a drive for about six hours' worth of studying such essays), I've realized how pathetically ignorant I am. And I wish to do something about it. I must say I agree with practically everything you say and even smile at certain bits concerning idiocy and/or religion. So I suppose this is more of a praising you on a whole than just this writing, although I do feel that this particular writing is exceptional. I personally haven't heard or read anyone's opinion in this type of manner (I'm sure there are a few others out there however), and I agree with every point made. I myself am rather agitated when people label religions as races.
Simian 2005-07-31 ch 1,	abuseThe only thing I can think to say is that I agree whole-heartedly with everything you just said. Your essay, I hope, will enlighten many.
No Trust 2005-07-31 ch 1,	abuseMore collectivist nonsense. And barely coherent. You're like a neocon version of holocaustpulp.
C Shot 2005-07-30 ch 1,	abuseFinal someone says something everyone is thinking. I completely agree... From what I see, religon is hate. No God has proven otherwise. -Curtis
DarkSorceress 2005-07-30 ch 1,	abuse"It took a poll, apparently 37 of all Muslims living in England today “understand” and “sympathize” with the Terrorist’s motives and frustrations, how thoughtful of them" 37% and ;how thoughtful of them... Anyways, onto the actual substance of this essay... I have to agree, from the point you made in your summary, that modern Islam is anything but moderate. It depends on where you live though- In the West, most Muslims are, in fact, 'Moderate' Muslims...However, in the Middle East, most are very conservative (and in Central Asia, they are very Liberal...not counting Afghanistan or Pakistan...but all the other 'istan's). As for your statistic with the 50% of Muslims feeling that the terrorists were somewhat justified in their actions...Highly believable. The Muslims there are frustrated- I don't think they have integrated well into British society at all (we have the same problem, where I live, with immigrants...multiculturalism seems to be a synonym for "we're too lazy to assimilate them"). You may not have noticed this, but the bombers came from very low income areas. From what I have read, muslims seem to be having a hard time in Europe...Therefore, I can easily believe that 50 percent would sympathise with them...And don't get me wrong, I don't sympathise with the bombers...However, we have the same conditions were I live that bred the bombers in England... "Muslims are stuck in a theological maze. If you want peace, you can find peaceable verses in the Koran. If you want war, you can find cruel verses"...So are Christians, and so does the Bible... Oh yes, Islam is not about peace. I believe that from the day it was founded, they began to aggresively seek followers (and by aggressively, I mean, kill you if you did not convert). On that same note, Christianity is supposed to be about love and peace...but then...how does that explain the Crusades (yes, I am referrencing to Christianity alot...only because its the major Religion of the West) There is Muslim violence in the Caribbean? What are your sources on that? If they are available, please show them to me...Perhaps I misinterpetted your words. The Chechnya-Russia conflict goes both ways, really...See, a few hundred people die in a school, the whole world hears about it. Eight hundred thousand Chechyans are killed by the russians and...well..no one cares. As for Palestine vs Israel...for every Israeli killed, three Palestinians die. Now, both groups have every right to their own state (okay, well, the Palestinians could move somewhere else, really, I don't know why the other Muslim governments won't allow them citizenship). After the fall of the Soviet Empire, many ethnic groups formed their own countries, and well, the Chechnyans want their piece of the pie as well...These aren't battles of territorial control, just the right for statemanship "The number one reason by far is my fear of being branded a racist"...Yeah, I thought this article was a bit risky...Still, all that you have written so far are true observations...I'm sure you will get some flames for it though, nonetheless No, you don't sound like Bill O'Reilly. And for godsake, don't compare yourself to that idiot Ann Coulter... Yeah, I've noticed that Fundamentalist Christianity is not far off, or rather, exactly the same as fundamentalist Islam. There are Christian terrorists, right now, in Uganda, kidnapping and raping children and forcing them to fight...At least, I am 90 percent sure they are Evangelical Christians. "Islam is Christianity's darker and far more dangerous sibling"...Sorry, but I must maintain that both religions are equally sinister...Just that in the developed world, Christianity seems 'softer'. Where my mom comes from, gay men are beaten to death regularly in the name of Christianity (I believe the lesbians are raped)- and nothing is done about it...And there are many christian nations where worst happens... Anyways, very good essay. As I said, you are going to come under fire for this. DarkSorceress
tofujunky 2005-07-30 ch 1,	abuse"Muslims are stuck in a theological maze. If you want peace, you can find peaceable verses in the Koran. If you want war, you can find cruel verses. You can find verses which permit only defensive jihad, or you can find verses to justify offensive jihad, it is a rag tag book." And if they can't find it, they'll make it up or interpret it however they please. "Valid criticism is still valid, even if it is being echoed by an imbecile, and if there is any religion on this earth that is deserving of criticism it is Islam." Amen, brother. This was a very good read, unreason. Hats off to you. --tofujunky
Mbwun 2005-07-30 ch 1,	abuseThank God someone had the balls to finally say it. ~He Who Walks On All Fours
Graymalkin Firstwitch 2005-07-30 ch 1,	abuseYour article is well researched and deserving of praise. Though I disagree with you about the fact that the Koran is a violent book and that Islam is violent, the admirable way you stick to the topic has much impressed me. I also thank you for your brief but acidic attack on Christianity. Having been a Catholic once myself, I can relate to what you are trying to say.
Typewriter King 2005-07-29 ch 1,	abuseA polarity reversal in unreason's thinking means the infidel has already won. First response!
