"well i'm not gonna say anything bad about you nor jamesn"</p>
<p>You probably shouldn't get in the middle of it. JamesN has a tendency of attacking everyone that gets involved in his numerous confrontations.</p>
<p>Thanks for your congratulations. I appreciate them. If you don't mind me asking, where are you headed next year?</p>
<p>oh it's quite complicated indeed as to my schooling. so i'll copy and paste my post from the other thread.</p>
<p>"i have a rather complicated schooling situation. left public highschool shopmore year of highschool, restarted a long distance schooling program at home( and had to redo all my credits) so i have approximately 2 years before i'll be entering college. so no schools as of yet. ; )"</p>
<p>baffledgenius89:
"i do have a question, why did you post things before that you did not mean?"</p>
<p>At the time, I definately meant them. If you look at all of the posts that led up to those statements, you will see that I was getting increasingly annoyed and I just blew it. Before I knew it, I was writing bigoted statements that had no place in this discussion. That's why I went on to apologise for them because I don't agree with those statements anymore.</p>
<p>and don't worry, very few people attack me verbally, not sure why they don't, but i do try and not stir up conflict. and of course, getting into a good college is something that you should be congratulated on, it's not an easy task.</p>
<p>baffledgenius89: Well good luck with two more years (ouch!). You know, it might not be such a bad thing. You could improve so much. I know I sometimes would like to redo high school.</p>
<p>ah ok, well thats definitely understandable. goodness, sometimes i get just so frustrated with our current administration that i just blurt out the first bad thing i can think of about president bush. but later on, i also realise that not everything is upon his shoulders. i can blame condoleeza rice too =P</p>
<p>yeah, i've learned more than you could ever imagine in this type of schooling. it's been such a wonderful experience for me</p>
<p>baffledgenius89:
Do I sense a hardcore Democrat?</p>
<p>I consider myself a vocal independent but, to be honest, I usually swing right. However, this current administration has been a real joke.</p>
<p>more scandal filled than the nixon presidency as well =p </p>
<p>and actually, quite the independent. i prefer to vote based upon moral character and individual beliefs on certain affairs. not based upon a group speaking on behalf one set of values and ideals</p>
<p>baffledgenius89:</p>
<p>I quite agree. Our political philosophies are quite similar. Well, I have to leave. Regrettably, I have work tomorrow.</p>
<p>i have work monday through friday, luckily my weekends are free. but alas, i do have physics that i have to teach myself tommorow, so i guess we both must get some sleep. well have a wonderful night. and please do just ignore any future retaliation attempts towards jamesn, or with jamesn towards you. no point in fighting uselessly in a world that already does it so much.</p>
<p>I'll take your advice to heart but I make no promises. Have a good night as well in Arizona.</p>

So the next time Muslims show Jews as bloodthirsty monsters, they should expect a nice air raid from Israel?</p>
<p>Why do you make so much generlizations? Islam is a vast civilization throughout the world and you have indeed proven you are an idiot by claiming Muslims depict such an image of Jews.</p>
<p>Go read about Islam and the Middle East. You are clearly misinformed about everything.

</p>
<p>Let me give you several sources that show that Muslims in at least a few countries have depicted Jews in such ways:</p>

You're a real idiot. You must know very little about Islam to suggest that it would be okay for you (the all-pious Muslim (MAY THEY ALL ROT IN HELL!)) to draw the Virgen Mary giving head to Jesus Christ when Jesus Christ is reveered in Islam as a prophet (kind of like Mohammed). </p>
<p>Also, Arab newspapers and the Muslim media in general always depicts Christians and Jews as nothing but the spawn of Satan who must be destroyed at all costs. I mean look at Hamas, the Saudi government and most Muslim clerics. They're always calling for the destruction of the Western world.</p>
<p>Just wait a few years and Islam will no longer be the fastest growing religion in the world. Barely anyone is converting to Islam anymore because of people like you.

</p>
<p>Indeed you know so much about Islam that you want all Muslims to rot in hell. This post alone shows that you hate Muslims and you are jealous of their expansion. Dont get mad at facts, Islam will dominant religion in the world soon, and I believe you should respect that. Stop with your discrimination; Islam is also the fastest growing religion in America. So, I wouldnt mess with them if I were you </p>

However, Christians and Jews are much more civilized and tolerant of opposing viewpoints than are Muslims. The fact remains that while there are Christian and Jewish extremists that would call for terrorist attacks, the entire Muslim world always resorts to violence when it encounters opposition. Maybe, there is an inherent component of Islam that sanctions violence (let us remember that Jihad is condoned within Islam). Or Muslim extremists have complete control over other Muslims and are "brainwashing them" just like the Nazis suppressed pacifist and tolerant factions of German society during WWII. Either way, the entire Muslim world seems plagued with violence which only further expands the great cultural rift between the Muslim world and civilized nations.

<p>LOL, that quote speaks for itself. You are the only one here who is brainwashed. Its shameful you compared Muslims to Nazis.</p>

However, centuries of Islamic scholars, numerous Muslim theocratic regimes, and the violent actions of Muhammed (He looted caravans and ransacked cities in order to force conversion upon nonbelievers) have essentially eroded all other interpretations of Jihad. Although Jihad literally means "struggle in the way of God", it might as well mean "the genocide of non-Muslims".

<p>You really need to be educated. Can you provide proof of Mohammeds looting and forcing of conversion to non believers? You are one anti-Islamic freak lol.</p>

Bangladesh might have a 2.5% unemployment rate but its GDP per capita is a pathetic $2,100. Learn to present all of the facts and not just some of them. Although I agree that IMF PPPS is a valuable tool for economic examination, most economists mainly look at GDP, GDP per capita and the unemployment rate in order to judge a nation's economy. In addition, a country that is 71st out of 232 countries in terms of GDP per capita means nothing when you realize that nearly 200 of those 232 nations are considered impoverished.

<p>Bangladesh may have a low GDP per capita, but it is one of the fastest developing democracies in the world, given that it gained independence from Pakistan in 1971.</p>

I am just so ignorant to believe that Islam is a religion based on violence when Muhammed (May his soul rot in Hell) looted caravans to expand his coffers, formed armies, and ransacked villages and cities in order to impose his will on the Arab world. Do you really believe the lies of a despotic ruler who killed all those that opposed him? How can you believe in false prophets and despicable clerics that had everything to gain by creating the Islamic empire? Open your eyes and use your mind!

<p>And you consider yourself a devout Christian? hmmm </p>
<p>Note: All the text in the quote are everkingly's posts.</p>
<p>Btw, this is only about 5% of everkingly's greatest posts. I will provide more soon. I belive he shouldnt be taken seriously as his posts indicates that he is uneducated and barbaric.</p>
<p>btw, UCLari, bashing Jews is one thing, bashing a holy figure is a more serious matter. I wanna see Muslims bashing Jesus and Moses, and I doubt you'll find much over it.</p>
<p>JamesN,</p>
<p>Gimme a break. You're basically saying that saying that Jews murder for Passover matzoh isn't on the same level of banality as a political cartoon with the prophet?</p>
<p>I'm beginning to sense a vibe here that it's okay to say whatever you want about Jews, but Muslims are off limits. The stuff said about Muslims is barbaric. The stuff said about Jews, as EAD pretty much said, is justified.</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>No, I did not mean that. Bashing religious follows isnt as severe as bashing holy figures. I believe a cartoon poking fun on Jesus is as serious as the Muhammad cartoons. Muslims are bashed constantly by Western media, do you see the protesting then? Muslims value holy figures, which is why you will NEVER see them publishing stuff insulting Jesus or Moses, but rather Jews and Christians. They are different things.</p>
<p>P.iss Christ, an "artistic" depiction of a crucified Jesus, met with quite a bit of consternation by the Christian community. However, nobody tried to kill anyone. </p>
<p>And if you're going to tell me that Jesus isn't important to Christians, then I've got a bridge to sell you.</p>
<p>By the way, it would be very unlikely to see Muslims attacking Moses, since he's an important figure in Islam as well. So, instead, they attack the Jews and make them out to be monsters, deviants, liars, and vampires.</p>
<p>Sorry, but it's hypocrisy. And you know what? It's the same damn Muslims doing the vilifying of Jews that are up in arms over the cartoons (e.g. idiot extremists).</p>
<p>Jesus is important to Muslims as well. Thats why they will NEVER depict Christ/Moses as demons. They may bash followers all they want, byt they wont bash holy figures. You dont get it do you? Christ and Moses are prophets in Islam as well. So they have more respect for these figures than Christians have for Muhammad.</p>
