Political Opinion Terrorism - PolyKicks

Offensive Muslim Charicature Is Not Muslim and Not Offensive

April 29th 2008 10:25

This is one of those things that brought a smile to my face, it appears some people are so caught up in hating Muslims that they let their own bigotry out even when complaining why someone else is not being attacked for his supposed bigotry. Does that make sense?

Well basically certain people are asking why Muslims don't find the following image offensive, reasoning that it has something to do with those health care giving, violence decrying dastardly leftists:

That is as part of a movie poster for 'Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden'. Now I know there will be someone out there who will take offence at that picture but the reason there isn't a more unanimous outcry of sorts is because it is not being offensive to Muslims.

The thing is, that is pretty far off from a stereotype, at best it stereotypes Bedouins at worst it stereotypes Muslims from the Middle East as crazy ass camel jockeys. Though really why I think it is not so offensive, and why our lovely right-wingers are getting their nickers in knots is because the movie isn't about how Muslims are hell bent on conquering the world.

Mitt Romney Implies Democracy is Blasphemous

February 23rd 2008 13:02

The west and the middle east are in a clash of ideologies some would say, yet it's really the entire world that is in a clash of ideologies between those who love freedom and those who love their own freedom.

Mitt Romney perfectly demonstrated just why conservatives have gone too far with their own religion so much so that it essentially mirrors that of the Islamic terrorists who will fight us over here if we don't fight them over there.

In his final speach informing everyone that he was dropping out he said that "These Jihadists will battle any form of democracy—to them, democracy is blasphemous for it says that citizens, not God shape the law".

That is a very interesting point however what pushes it into a world of surrealism is how one of the core aspects of his speach was how faith in god creates a strong nation. Americans love god and "Europe is facing a demographic disaster" because it "is the inevitable product of weakened faith in the Creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality".

Now I ask, how are you different to the Jihadists who believe it is blasphemous to say that "citizens, not god shape the law" when you say so yourself that the reason Europe is in a 'disaster' is because citizens, not god, are shaping the law? In essence you're elaborating on how god would shape the law in a country, through the people.

If You Don't Know Why 'They' Hate 'You'

February 22nd 2008 08:12

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine your country is controlled by a foreign power, if you can't imagine such a thing because obviously you belong to the strongest nation on earth imagine a bunch of Aliens in huge spaceships one day decide to start floating over your cities. Then instead of blowing you sorry lot away with their clear superiority (though threatening to do so on their news channels) they instead decide to stick plungers in your pubs and various alcohol retailers and start sucking out the juices so they can power their cars in their alien world.

Now imagine they get lazy and decide they want to instead have you send the bear over to them. So they manipulate your political system, install phony balony 'leaders' who, if you are lucky, will simply say that you must serve your alien masters, though if you're unlucky said leader will more or less destroy whatever society you have and frequently torture and kidnap your friends and family.

So you have no bear, you have no sense of national pride, and you know its the superior alien force hovering over your head that is the cause of this. What do you do when your daughter is killed 'for fun' by a mercenary force not directly related to the alien beings but whose existence is only to serve said alien beings? What about your oh so special leader who has interspecies sex with said alien beings in an effort to keep his positition of power?

Well if you don't pick up a gun, or a bomb, or anything, and fight back then you're playing along and you will live in misery. You also probably are in your old age and have a family to worry about. Then again you probably have kids, who know nothing but oppression, who know, from you, the cause of their oppression is from said evil aliens manipulating your countries political system.

Your boy has no future, he'll pick up a gun and make one for himself or die trying. You know your boy doesn't hate the aliens for no reason, your boy hates the aliens for ruining his life. Will the boy discern between the various aliens? Some who do not approve of whats happening compared to others who do? Maybe, but if they don't then he will sink to the level of his oppressors, be it the aliens, the contracted alien military force or the government, and in the end be no better with his single minded determination to get his way.

What we have now in this political climate is a complicated situation, in cruel irony people who proclaim they 'don't know why the muslim terrorists hate us' in that same sentence demonstrate why 'they' do hate 'us'. Try having your country hijacked from a foreign power and having it literally bled dry of its natural resources (or beer). Try being tortured, bombed, improsned by a foreign power. I promise you won't be able to discern or even be willing to dsciern between friendly westerner and evil war mongering westerner.

Putting aside their unjustifiable actions 'they' hate you because of your own arrogance and how through it you have brought nothing but misery into their lives.
