Extremism

[BarbieCue]

… exists everywhere. But it only receives publicity when a so-called muslim is involved. Right?

I don’t remember hearing this news on the TV yesterday and it wasn’t “featured” on any of the news websites either!

So this guy, James Lee, walked into the Discovery Channel headquarters yesterday with guns and bombs and held 3 people hostage. He was shot dead by police. The following reflects his twisted mentality:

A lengthy posting on Lee’s website said Discovery and its affiliates should stop “encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants,” a possible reference to shows like ‘Kate Plus 8’ and ‘19 Kids and Counting.’ Instead, he said, the channel should broadcast “programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility.”

“Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is,” reads the site. “Saving the Planet means saving what’s left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies!” it says.

Re: Extremism

Yeah I read about it on the BBC website, but I didn't know about his website. They guy's bizarre. And funny lol :p

On a serious note, I think Muslims get more publicity because:
1: The Western media is biased.
2: They spread violence in the name of religion.

People can easily say that Lee was a madman, he doesn't represent the society as a whole. But with Muslims they have religion as a excuse. They believe that Islam is violent therefore every Muslim must be violent. OFC there are my Westerners who understand that neither Islam nor the majority of Muslims are bad.

Re: Extremism

IceSoul: The actions of a few crazy "muslims" do NOT represent the muslim society or the Islamic teachings either. This is what the anti-islamists need to get into their heads.

Deebz: Woops, I missed it so. But it still isn't as spiced up as it woulda been if a muslim was involved.... or is it just me? =/

That's what I'm saying. In the few conversations about this that I've had with Westerners on my visits to the UK, they gave the impression that *Islam is wrong. *They were like, U R a Muslim, and Islam is violent so either you are violent too or you are not a true Muslim.

OFC a lot of people do understand once you explain it to them, but a lot don't.

Re: Extremism

It's true Muslims are a target of international media but we must also take some responsibility and not give them reasons to target us.
