Happy Friday all the normal people :fp:

As opposed to religious extremists, which was clear from the context of my posts I think.

I don't know...
the clarity there, just not sure you can climb into people's heads to that point,
the point of declaring them not normal. Hating seems pretty normal these days, unfortunately.
Just made me make the family noise ... pfffft ... is all.

so do we think the bomb scares here in the US are linked?
or did someone just not study for a test today kidding

:roll: Whatever. If you're bad at grasping context, that's not my concern. Seems to me you're just itching for a petty argument that means nothing.

No really just pointing out a generalization on your part, one I'm not agreeing with,
the angry and hateful are not necessarily extremists or not normal
they are just really angry and filled with pride for their own and hate for those
who disrespect. Now whose bad

If those assholes are "normal" then we are in very big trouble. Good thing they are not.

Okay, well it wasn't a generalization as I explained to you, so there you go. But leave it to you to defend extremist murderers.

They seem pretty normal to me.

What's with the cops throwing rocks at them too...
rocks?

Is this normal?

Okaaaayyyy, rather than let someone derail the thread, leading to it getting locked, anyone else have any thoughts on the subject, outside of the semantics of the word normal? I think that all of us but one can agree that murderous religious extremists are not normal or justified, so... maybe this discussion has come to a rapid end?

If you look at my other posts you will see I do not defend their actions.
Seems you not only assume about the not normal you assume
about other posters also. :fp:

We won't go into trying to understand others because this might be a concept
you don't understand...
do you have trouble with defend and understand?
for me they are not interchangeable at all.

Though I do not defend nor condone those who are resorting to violence, I understand it.
And no I do not think they are not normal, quite the contrary,
they are fighting an enemy, a disrespectful one, so disrespectful they are willing to kill.

Yeah. Their main enemy being non-Muslims, namely Jews and their allies. It's totally understandable that they would want all Jews and their allies wiped off the face of the planet. I see where you're coming from now.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki denounced the film as "insulting" and "racist" but called on Muslims not to react with violence.

"The natural response is to refrain from resorting to violence and demonstrate the principles of Islam and its civilized values," he said in a statement on Thursday.

Well, holy shit ... a leader has spoken up. I don't know how much juice he has, but it's a start. Hopefully one of his bodyguards doesn't gun him down like the Pakistan governor who suggested the blasphemy laws should end.

Now we need to see leaders in the religious community speak up as well.

Absolutely. It's something... we'll see if anyone who is flipping out will listen. Since their actions seem rather beyond reason, I am somewhat doubtful that a voice of reason will get through very well, but I guess you never know.

I expect number #4, at least for the time being.
#3 ain't gonna happen obviously, and there is no way he would start another war just because some citizens freaked out for a few days. Same for #1. What's going on in Egypt is a big deal, but not THAT big a deal, considering how the region is constantly in some kind of turmoil and a state of outrage over something or other that insulted Mohammed. The consequences of this particular freak out were worse than usual, but not the circumstances. Plus, they suspect that it was just an excuse for extremists to attack the Embassy - terrorists completely separated from the Egyptian government - so no ones going to attack the nation/government because some fuckers went rogue.
