Islam is a problem

* because it is very dogmatic and does not distinguish between politics and religion
* because there is no central religious (and therefore political) authority providing common rules

The second point is not an issue with the Schiia part of Islam, that is why I trust iranian muslims more than arabic ones.

these are ur thoughts....tryi digging harder

but the arabic world is HUGE and crosses several continents and covers several nations - calling all arabs aggressive is as if you would call all Europeans Nazis. No, the glue between the arabs is the Islam so if you think arabs are aggressive then it is the Sunni Islam that makes them aggressive (sorry). I always check that by looking at Malaysia and Indonesia (they are Sunni but no arabs) and I see lots of tendencies to become as aggressive as some arabs... (Indonesia and Malaysia haven't been heartlands of the Islam, they became islamic countries not that long ago)

Firstly no one has defined aggression. Practices such as "honour killings" and female genital mutilation are clearly contrary to Islam but perceived by the west to be a product of religion. In truth these are cultural practices that pre-existed Islam and continued in spite of it. Secondly the Islam in SE Asia, the area of Sharia (Syariah) law in particular is very different to that practiced in the middle east.
Aggression and a resentful attitude towards the West comes from poverty, imperialism (perceived or otherwise), and cultural alienation. Under slightly different circumstances Christianity was no less fanatical and no less violent. Text is entirely open to interpretation, and the idea of separation between church and state being in the bible has only taken its current interpretation quite recently. There is no more violence inherent in the texts of Islam than there are in any other religion. All that is required is the right cultural and economic environment for the more violent interpretations to gain popularity.

This morning I had a massive hangover. Woke up, felt like I've been hit by a truck. Opened a beer, sat down in front of the TV and just chilled.

All of a sudden the doorbell rings. My my, who could that be? It's still so early. So I get up, open the door and there's two ladies staring at me. Looking at my completely hungover face one says, without saying hello: "Sorry for bothering, I guess you're not interested, huh?"

I'm thinking, do I really need this shit right now? And a brilliant idea comes. What would happen if I for once actually tried to listen to the shit they have to say.

So I invite them in, make coffee and sit them down in the living room. I make up an excuse to get to the other room. "I need to go for a few minutes, I'm going to call my father. He's in a hospital right now. Just enjoy your coffee, I'll be right back."

So I go to the other room, masterfully make a joint and smoke it on the bedroom window, real quick. This is going to be fucking awesome.

I go back to the livingroom. The women have placed some brochures on the table. I ask them: "So what did you want to talk about?" One of them starts to praise Jesus and introduces me to the teachings of the bible. I sat there for 30 minutes, completely silent, only saying "uh-huh" when she stopped speaking. And then I realised their blabbering was starting to ruin my high. Out of nowhere I just started screaming "Get the fuck out, the devil disapproves! The Devil disapproves! Leave, zealots, leave!!!"

My god was that funny. One of them spilt coffee on her white shirt. The other one stuffed brochures back in her purse. I'm there pretending to look for the vacuum cleaner. "I'm gonna vacuum the lies outta joo!"

They seriously just fucking vanished. I mean they were gone in less than half a minute.

I smoke another joint, turn the TV to Eurosport and chill. Best hangover ever.
