CNN: The 80's

by Simon in

i've really enjoyed the cnn series on the 60's and 70's - they give you more of the "feel" of how things progressed in each decade than just the raw facts while still providing interesting and entertaining views of history.

each episode typically focuses on development of one aspect such as tv, music or politics and of course includes important world events.. starting on thursday is the next series, this time covering the 80's.

now it's catching up with things i can really remember well directly.. the trailer shows the huge tv event of the decade if not all time - who shot jr. yes kids, who shot mr burns was just a copy of it i'm afraid.. it was broadcast in the uk on tuesday evening.

We weren't allowed to watch Dallas, but I do remember all the hubbub about it.

Spreading the "Religion of Peace" in Europe

by freemindfade in

so sad.

i love europe.

i love going there not as a tourist, but just blending in and spending time with locals in non-touristy local gems.. islam seems to be spreading their religion of peace throughout the continent.

As usual the emotionally fragile didn't bother reading our posts. All they saw was forum members talking about an issue which concerns the religion of Islam and their lids blew off.

Nowhere did I once mention a hatred or fear for Muslims, instead I said we should stay out of their business and help them where we can to fight the fundamentalist problem. If I hated or feared them I would not have been able to spend the sum of at least two years of my life in Islamic countries sometimes protecting Muslims from their own. But I've said what I wanted to say and won't bother getting in a debate with people who can't put aside emotions and recognize an attempt at a pragmatic solution motivated out of concern and compassion for both Muslim and non-Muslim targets.

When I use the term "fundamentalist" I'm not merely referring to terrorists/guerillas. I'm referring to all those who subscribe to the fundamentalist ideology of Sharia and rarely question let alone decry the issued fatwas calling for actions or laws any compassionate person would denounce. I hate to break it to you, but the majority do support Sharia/Wahhabism, even Fathima and Shabir, the quiet and pleasant couple who run the bodega across the street from me with whom I spend a couple of hours a month chatting to.

But as I said, I'm done. If you couldn't be bothered actually reading our posts, I couldn't be bothered engaging in a one-sided debate. Nothing more for me to say to irrational emotiopaths.

Also:

It isn't just the West they are determined to undermine. They are waging wars of terror all over the world with the sole purpose of imposing their fundamentalist ideology. This is not just a West vs. radical Islam issue.

Another Attack at least 50 killed

by James Mixon in

christians attack in lahore pakistan.... what the hell is wrong with people..

Heaven:

Exactly, fundamentalists are killing far more non-fundamentalists everyday. And thus the reason THEY need to rise up and fight back in the same way the Northern Alliance did against the Taliban. Unfortunately, the majority of Afghanistan supported the Taliban and there was no one charismatic enough to replace Massoud. In that part of the world, fundamentalists vastly outnumber the moderate Muslims.

Frequency and destructive power of attacks is only going to increase over time. They are determined to undermine the various political and social structures of the West, and the more they kill in the process the clearer their message of ruthless determination will be. It is not possible for the West to stop them without Muslim help and the emotional crowd being convinced we all need to "love" our way to victory or a peaceful solution, let alone stem the frequency of attacks.

FMF:

I couldn't agree more. Where you really nail it is with regard to the support network. They may say the vast majority are peaceful, but I don't see that vast majority doing much about those fundamentalists who they claim are giving their religion a bad name. If only they were as outraged about them as they are about cartoons and works of fiction making reference to their religion. The vast majority may be peaceful, but they are also certainly complacent, apathetic and in my opinion, disingenuous about their outrage against fundamentalists.

It is not the place of outsiders to sort their problems out, it's their responsibility. Unless they undo the support network themselves, there can be no solution.

I will say this: letting in refugees by the tens of thousands who hold fast to an ideology like shariah who will inevitably demand it be recognized or claim discrimination, is asking for trouble. The "touchy-feely" powers that be and their supporters aren't thinking clearly. Think things are getting bad with fundamentalism and rampant crime against the European social system now? Wait twenty years when saying "we warned you" won't mean a damn thing.
