History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

What the "Western Media" shows us is instructive in illustrating the poison in a culture. Moderates enable the extremists, and you wouldn't see the fucked up aspects of Muslim culture such as mobs aimed at a Danish cartoon, honor killings, and death-by-apostasy without broad support from ordinary Muslims.

While I think it would be similarly instructive for the mainstream media to turn its lens inward to the fucked up aspects of Christian culture as well (really, every successful religion has enough of this to go around), Muslim society is certainly getting the attention it deserves.

You can use this logic to point towards "poison" in any "culture" or group. It's like saying anyone in the SJ community supports the SJWs that they actually fight against, much in the same way if you actually talk to some Muslims.

Err, Ironchew has stated this is more or less what he believes.

And? It is the same bullshit logic that has been used to sow and feed hate towards other groups. It has absolutely no positive value and simply throws everyone under a label under the bus instead of working to get rid of the problematic mentalities and behaviors.

Eh, my only issue is the use of the term "Muslim child". Children do not have a religion. They are a child of Muslim parents, nothing more. I am quite opposed to religious labeling of children. Let them develop on their own, don't force a label on them.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

Quote from: Seneca
Religion is regarded by the common man as true, by the wise man as false, and by the powerful man as useful
Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

No, I meant that he believes the part about social justice.

It probably also means "Arabic"

Without the ability to indoctrinate children, all religion would collapse within a couple of generations. They use these labels for a reason.
