(I know I phrased things wrong, but you get my point!)

No... I don't think we do...

BTW, I think the word you're looking for is "Mosque".

I'm curious Otaku if you can provide a single time in the last decade when a place of worship was destroyed and it was treated as just another day.

I still don't get what about that statement would make Taja mad. All he's saying is that he believes Muslims should recognize that according to their faith the rest of the world is going to hell, so they should let them go nancing on their way in peace.

Unless Taja supports the forceful conversion (and thus, avoidance of going to hell) of non-muslims...?

...

I thought he meant hell figuratively, not HELL-hell as in the place of fire and eternal damnation in the after-life.

In which case, I really don't think the Islamic protests are being carried out because the Muslims are worried about the rest of the world going to (HELL-)hell.

But what about this part ?

I say they should adopt our American view

I say they should adopt our American view

Apparently what he's saying is that any religion not practiced by Americans will get you a one way ticket to hell, no exceptions, which of course is not true from my point of view, making his statement false in unification.

The american way tends (at least from the part of the country where I'm at) to be that no one gives a rip about what you believe, so long as you're not badgering them with it.

Precisley.

these things dont really bother me anymore.

the cuban's never bothered me.
the iraqis never bothered me.
the afganies never bothered me.

so i really dont give two shits. now if we can only get those damn North Koreans.

I question whether or not he knows enough about Islam to be able to make the statement that according to Islam every non-muslim is going to hell. Here at TRF we don't for the most part know jack about Islam and I think somebody should get a bit more educated before making generalizations along the lines that Otaku made.

And yay for Silus because he is great.

Heh. Thanks, Taja. :p


Otaku, take a little time with writing those posts of yours. It makes it easier to argue with you when we actually know what the hell we're talking about. :ohwell

Marth makes a good point. If you don't know anything about the religion/whatever, best then not to make any sort of generalizations about it.
