No kidding. Here's a thought, learn a few languages outside your own monolinguistic world.
Sorry to pop your bubble SAM but Shadow1 made it clear, in English, that there was a delineation between Arabs and Black Africans - Arabs first, Africans second (even though he lives in Africa and is in effect an African). What if Caucasian decedents of European were to pull that sort of racist-like attitude in South Africa? Oh, wait, they did and it wasn't very productive.
Being apologetic suggests that there IS something wrong.
It will open up a whole new world to you. You may even "see" the ethnic cleansing going on in Sri Lanka instigated by Buddhist priests, learn about Buddhist violence in Burma and China and find out how provincial your own thinking is. You may even discover the "military monk" that armed creature resident in Thai monasteries.
Please feel free to enlighten us SAM. What is the underlying issue in Buddhist ideolgoy that is causing this strife, how so and with whom?
How many Thai Buddhist Monks have had their heads chopped off by Thai Muslim fanatics in the name of "Islam"? Do you THINK MAYBE that has something to do with it???
How many Thai Muslims have had their heads chopped off by Thai Buddhist fanatics in the name of "Buddhism"? ANY AT ALL?
Maybe you may even figure out why speeches by individual Muslims are WORLD events when massacres of/by entire countries don't even make the back pages. Who knows maybe all it will take will be a Chinese attack on the US to make Mark Juergensmeyer the resident Buddhist icon?
A Chinese attack on the USA would not be in the name of "Buddha". I've never heard of a Buddhist Monk chopping off a non-Buddhist person's head in the name of "Buddhism" or for insulting Buddha (like destroying the 2500 year old statues). I've never seen a Buddhist run around with a chopped off head in their hands like a wild animal screeching "Buddha is Great" "Buddha is Great" "Buddha is Great" "Buddha is Great"..... The day THAT happens SAM - - we'll need to take a good long look at Buddhism. Do you agree?
Wouldn't that seem sensible?
When Buddhist start acting like Bronze Age douche bags and chopping off people's heads in the name of Islam, then we'll take a long look at Buddhist Ideology and see WTF is going on.
I can see the Chinese attacking the USA "In the name of Chinese Sovereignty". These people may be Buddhist.
See the difference?
The reason WHY this dip-shit Imam made headlines is because there's actually a significant number of Muslim Supremests who have been retarded down to a Bronze Age mentality and actually are chopping off infidel's heads in the name of Islam and in defense of Allah.
I know, f*cking retarded but true nonetheless.
As an Islamic Apologist, one who accepts that Islam need to be reformed and is presently backwards on certain issues, I don't see why you feel YOU are being attacked. You aren't calling for someone's head to be chopped off, this fundamental Islamic dip-shit is. IF some Atheists were chopping off people's head in the name of non-Belief, I'd be the first to call bullshit on them and seek to socially isolate and obliterate their violent ideology.
