Day: November 19, 2012

I have yet to figure out why the rest of the religions of the world are supposed to take insults from Islam but it’s off limits to insult anything Islamic.

Lets see, The Taliban fired mortars at ancient reclining Buddhas carved into a mountain.

By the logic of the Taliban… The Pyramids of Egypt and all Egyptian artifacts should be destroyed because these artifacts represent a pagan infidel polytheistic belief system. (An affront to the Prophet and Allah!) 

(Of course you and I BOTH know the Taliban wouldn’t do that anymore than the devoutly Islamic Egyptians will… It’s called tourist revenue and having international standing.)

Bibles are commonly confiscated from tourists, and burned or in the case of Saudi Arabia shredded.  

And yet anything, anytime that’s even remotely offensive to Muslims results in rioting in the streets, death and destruction. 

Hey Islam GROW THE FUCK UP! Not everyone is going to agree with you.

Your 15th century values aren’t shared by everyone else on the planet. Be content that the evildoers will have their balls roasting in hell and stop trying to pass judgement that only God, Allah, Jehovah or whatever deity you choose to name is qualified to pass.

I’m really confused by the latest Palestinian / Israeli conflict.

Let me get this straight.

The Palestinians lob rockets into Israel and that’s good and “The Will of Allah”

But when the Israelis fire back… The Israelis are the bad guys?

What? 

Ya know I’m just a dumb ass backwoods hick but where I come from… If I walk up to a man and punch him in the face I fully expect for him to punch my stupid ass back!

There are those who say the Palestinians are justifiably upset and that Israel doesn’t have the right to exist because the area of land currently called Israel isn’t in the correct place. 

One could also make the case that the area known as Palestine was actually defined and named by the British during their possession of the area when it was their colony.

The Palestinians want Gaza. OK…

The Israelis made massive improvements to Gaza. So they should be compensated for those improvements to the property. OH? Wait… The Palestinians don’t want to pay for the improved property? Uh, Humm

That’s like me buying a shitbox house in Compton improving the hell out of it and being forced to give it to a family in “greater need” of a house than myself  leaving me homeless.

That doesn’t fly and I can tell you…

I’d burn the place down rather than give it away. If i’m going to be homeless because I’m forced to give my hard work to someone who didn’t work for it… Better that WE’RE BOTH homeless.

Hamas is today and has always been  a terrorist organization. That the MORONS in Palestine elected Hamas as their government does not legitimize Hamas or change their past.

Yeah, Yeah, It could be said that our country started out as a bunch of terrorists…Give Hamas 260 years where they’re not taking hostages or firing rockets into Israel and then we’ll talk.

Then you have people in this country protesting in favor of the Palestinian actions against Israel WTF?

That’s not too different from people protesting in favor of the Taliban or Al Qaeda. 

I’ve always found it ironic that the people protesting in FAVOR of oppressive regimes  in this country are protesting using rights and privileges that are not afforded them under those oppressive regimes.

All of which is why I believe we should get the hell out of the Middle East entirely.

We’re out of our depth, we don’t understand these people and we never will.  

No matter what agreements we make… or belie we’ve made we’re negotiating with peoples that are by our definition insane.

We wouldn’t enter into any binding agreement with someone who was obviously out of their mind here at home.

Why on earth do we attempt it with obviously crazy groups of people and Governments?
