So, he stabbed a guy because some other guys who had nothing to do with the stabbed one did some really nasty shit, and his excuse was the taxi driver and the terrorists had the same religion.
I know I wrote it in a confusing manner, forgive me.
The stabber should have his brain removed and be replaced with spam or tuna, I'm pretty sure it would make him smarter.

Yes, because my set of intolerance's are better than your set of intolerance's...

At least my intolerances come from a logical and scientific standpoint, as opposed to yours which come from a 2000 year old book about talking snakes and poison apples.

Dude are you seriously defending your comment?
Read it out loud, think about it for a minute.
If you still think what you said is right, I really feel sorry for you.

Obviously it is ridiculous and over the top, but if you really think about it.. without religious people in the world it definitely WOULD be a better place.. there isn't much argument to it.

Why are you talking about the death toll of the crusades in a post about a muslim being attacked?

You're pretty
wierd.


Because the SOURCE of all the death caused here is ONE thing.. RELIGION.

That's not true. The world is filled with too many stupid people. Religion keeps them in their place. That's why it was made.

Wow, that is really dumb and stupid, also, this looks americans in general look very racist. This is why americans get such a bad rep everywhere


Buddy, I've lived in 4 countries throughout my life and USA is the most tolerant of them all. Say what you want but there is no state in the US where you would feel insecure in general just because you are an immigrant. Everyone screams "racism" but that only means that people are well aware of the problem. Racism exists everywhere, your country would be one of the examples.

Are you an immigrant? What's your ethnicity?

Ofc racism exists everywhere. Including korea. Korea isn't as multi-cultural as US though so its less of a concern(though it is equally important for the minorities in korea, there's less interaction overall for conflicts). If you were a korean you'd say the exact same thing you just said about korea. Duh.

US definitely is not the one of the most tolerant. In fact it sucks balls at it. Though I gotta say, it gets not enough credit for the situation that its in.

I agree that if religion went extinct, other stupidity will fill its void, but I don't agree that its keeping them in place. Its obviously not that good at it.

How is it offensive to 9/11 families? It's a mosque, there's others like it in and around New York.

They're building it at Ground Zero. The site where some extremist Muslims allegedly killed 3000 people for living in a capitalist world power of a country. Can't they at least have some decency about where they decide to build? I'm all for building it 2 blocks over. Imagine going to talk to your uncle, dead from the WTC attacks, and when you leave you happen to look up and see a giant mosque towering over you.

I don't live in New York anymore, so I don't know how much the culture there has changed since 9/11, but from my own point of view and being related to one of the people that died at Ground Zero, I'd think seeing that mosque would inspire negative feelings I'd rather not have towards the majority of Muslims. In one way it could bring the people closer together, and in another it could breed hatred just for being there with you when you decide to pay respects.

Hey, I have an opinion too.

Except the Mosque/ COMMUNITY CENTER is being built almost a mile away from Ground Zero. So I guess you have no problem with it then. Politicians are blowing it way out of proportion.

As for Mr. Sharif I wish I could mail or email him and wish me good luck. I truly hope he recovers to perfect condition.

Man Is Held in Anti-Muslim Stabbing of Cabdriver...

as opposed to countless suicide bombings, beheading, and rape committed by Islamic terrorists.

it is a tragedy that this guy was injured, but using it as political fodder is simply hilarious.

Well if it's a mile away, no problem. Unless it's across the street from another location a mile away where we're honoring the victims of 9/11.

By the way, I have no problem with building a mosque. I just assumed it was overlooking Ground Zero, in which case I would have a problem with it. Even if it was being built to overlook GZ, it wouldn't be a violation of our freedom, as some people on the article page are commenting that is so. I'm not that cynical.

Yeah... well the problem here is I'm not imagining my uncle. I believe my real uncle who died at GZ was a Christian. And I don't subscribe to religion, because I believe most of the holy books have about 3% true good teachings and 97% fodder used for control. And I realize there are probably a few hundred Muslim victims that died at GZ. That means they shouldn't build a church/jewish temple/etc there either. In fact don't build anything there except a memorial honoring the people.

Edit: Poor Muslim guy got stabbed because there are crazy people in the world. Not his fault the same as it isn't any modern Christian's fault that there were(/are?) Crusades. This case just shows how easily someone can use religion as an excuse for hatred/violence/cruelty. Remember Hitler? Yeah, this stabber guy is like him. Only 60 years later, when we should have moved past this by now.

Did the driver say anything to anger the passenger? Or was it just spontaneous anger/slashing? In which case...... that's just wrong......

On the most fundamental level Islam is intended to spread Sharia law world wide, the Qur'an even encourages its readers to hide their beliefs and intents from non-believers, and spread its political ideologies.


The Fuck are you talking about? I'm a muslim and I've never been thought that Sharia Law isnt meant to be world domination garbage. Its a law for muslims, I lived in Malaysia for 20 years and Sharia Law was only applicable to Muslims and people of other religions were not subject to it.

And NEVER have i read/ heard about the Quran encouraging Muslims to hide their religion for political idealogies, the only reason to hide the fact you were a muslim was if you were faced with a life threatening situation. What you said that doesn't make any sense, what kind of political ideologies are you talking about? As far as I know Islam is about equilibrium and certainty, politics has nothing to do with what it teaches.

Because they find islam offensive. They fear it after the connection 9/11 burned in their mind. See thats how the mind works. If you get hurt by something you tend to associate similar things/events/people with that thing. That being said the right action is tolerance. Remember to ask yourself in situations like this WWJD?*

What would Jedi do?


Finding Islam offensive is bigoted and those who oppose the mosque should be treated as such.

There is no law being broken. There's literally nothing that could hold up in a court case to stop the mosque from being built. Like illegal immigration or gay marriage, it's just another excuse for bigots to be bigots in public and get away with it.



I didnt say it was. My heart goes out to all those who lost love ones in 9/11. And if they will feel further suffering at seeing a mosque then my heart goes out to them again that old wounds have to be opened. But they (and all of us) must be tolerant lest a far worse evil be done.
Actually many of the 9/11 families support the mosque and feel honored by it:

"We support the building of the Islamic community center in lower Manhattan and want to explain why we feel that it would honor our son and other victims."

- parents of a victum


That's a just one of the token 911 families supporting the mosque. Most are against it. Most NYCers are against it. Most New Yorkers are against it. Most Americans are against it. <- all from the polls

Don't see what your point is. Majority of the victims of such acts are Muslims.

wait, when did they change it to a mosque?
not really news imo. if it becomes a series of attacks then it's serious and needs to be clamped down upon. It's akin to the case years ago of some illegal mexican who killed someone in a drunk driving incident and the story became a huge deal in the eye of the media, regardless of the facts that said otherwise
