Reminds me: I need to buy my Messi jersey for casual Friday, and maybe a Suarez, Neymar, Iniesta or Busquets jersey as well.

Go Barca!

It's estimated that Barcelona FC has in the neighborhood of 300 million fans, in places like Mosul, Afghanistan, Mongolia. At 40 million euro per year, Messi is arguably underpaid.

Well this was interesting reading, but my lunch break is now over and I have some welding to do...
I probably won't clamp my ground onto my coworker's nipple, shove my electrode up his ass, and crank the amps to 250... but then again I'm not a goddam Muslim.

You know, I have been branded a terrorist by Muslims for being an atheist. The Islamic laws demand that i pay them Jizya. I am a second class citizen because I am a kuffar. Yet, i get attacked for calling Islam bad and sharia laws bad. I don't even have my constitutional rights to speak out against disgusting sharia laws without being called a bigot by Islam apologists.

Really? What country do you live in?

Really?

I suppose it's typical of the invade&import crowd that they've never heard of an organization called Human Rights Watch, which reported on the fact that atheism is now considered terrorism, as per Islam, in Saudi Arabia and other "allied" Muslim countries. Atheism is necesarily blasphemy, which was always a capital offense in Sharia, and surveys have shown consistently that most Muslims in countries with Muslim majorities want Sharia, for example more than 80% in the Islamic "republic" of Pakistan, where Asia Bibi awaits her execution, paid for by American "aid" money, aka jizya to the Islamic "Republic" of Pakistan, which would otherwise be a failed state. Even the British dole now uses tax revenue to subsidize polygamous Muslim families (both officially and unofficially), producing the bizarre result that younger Muslims are actually more likely to support Sharia than the older generations who immigrated and didn't come from polygamous families. The polygamists receiving the dole from the Anglicans call it jizya, as per Islam; with four wives, each family can produce four jihadis a year. The Islamic State has begun publishing online "kill lists," including the home addresses of Americans living in America, usually blasphemers but also security workers and other potential HVTs, e.g. transit police.

Muslims have been around a very long time. Yet, they haven't grown.

Says who? Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia, large portions of India ... even the US ... they are 6 million strong in the States and very progressive here. That's a population many bigger than a lot of muslim countries.

And as crazy as it will sound even Iran is becoming much more progressive. Their youth is 70 million strong and greatly likes Western Culture.

turtledove is deplorable says

So because there was once a Spanish Inquisition, this makes it okay for Muslims to remain in a stunted state of perpetual dark & middle ages? That's ridiculous. They don't get to throw the world back a millennia and claim that's okay because when you go back a millennia, Christians showed they could be brutal, too.

No, that doesn't justify ISIS's warped interpretation of Islam and their actions. It does refute the continued and consistent dialogue of Christianity being superior or somehow "above it". Ask the UK and Northern Ireland if they think Christian terrorism isn't a thing? The only time I've ever actually been afraid of a bombing was IRA action in the London underground.

If you want to find Christians beheading Muslims today, you can in the Central African Republic. I don't equate them with majority of Christian belief. Do you?
Nor do I equate this guy https://ballotpedia.org/Robert_Doggart as a representative of all politicians in the US. Do you?

It's stupid to take the radical fringe and think they are a majority voice. You will find a world full of enemies if you so easily form biased opinions like that.

Many parts of Malaysia and Indonesia were very liberal by Islamic standards: Easy Divorces, winking at occasional pork or alcohol consumption, etc. However, that was before 40 years of Saudi and Qatari oil money built Salafi-Wahabi maddrassahs and mosques, populated by Fundamentalist Clerics and Teachers paid for by our "Allies". Now you see Hijabs and Burkas in places where no such thing

At no point in the last 40 years has Christian Terrorism resulted in the deaths of 10,000s of people annually. The total death toll of the Troubles, including Civilians, IRA, Orangemen, British Soldiers, Irish Border Guards, etc. totals 3,568 - in more than 4 decades between 1969 to 2010. There was also a strong ideological as well as religious bent to the Struggle, with the IRA being Socialist and the Loyalists being Capitalists.

For Comparative Purposes, Pakistan in 2015 had 3,682 deaths from Terror, including the terrorists, security forces, civilians, etc. Just that one year. So more deaths by Terror in Pakistan in 2015 than the Entire Troubles over 4 decades.

Know a lot of Muslims do you Strat? Live in a Muslim country that requires you to pay jizyah? Didn't think so. And you don't get attacked for calling out Sharia or certain tenets of Islam. You get called out because you generalize your dislike of Islam to include a frequently bigoted view of Muslims as a whole.

In the west we have gone through centuries of criticism (sometime heavy) of religion, and as a result, the catholic church and other christian faiths have much less mainstream influence than they use to. As far as I know there wasn't any widespread beliefs or terrorist attack against gays originating from Christianity in recent memories.

To not recognize that we have a unique problem with Islam is
- first, intellectually dishonest, because there obviously is
- second it is immoral (or at best morally confused) because by comparing it to a more benign faith you are in effect defending immoral beliefs.

Rew says

That does appear to be your plan, calling in reinforcements. Or, rather, it's the plan that useful idiots are serving for partisan reasons, without realizing how they're being used. Certainly the Vatican has made explicit its edict that secular Europe must import more Muslims, who insist upon respect for religion, at the point of the sword. They say whatever they must in order to oppose their shared enemies: especially the dreaded atheists, and secularism generally.

Al-Baghdadi is a PhD equivalent of one of the most Prestigious Islamic Universities; Kony doesn't even have a bachelor's from Patriot University.

62% of Pakistanis say they have "No Opinion" of ISIS. IE "Know-Nothings"

IIRC the Muslims borrowed the more violent passages from the Old Testament.

If you go back in history the Christians are the clear winners in violence.

Islam, like all religions has radicalization elements in it.
Yes, it has the most predominant problem with it right now.
To paint ISIS as the standard and not the radical element is a path toward the darkest chapters in human history. Essentially, hate will lead you to become what you despise.

Nope. ISIS Is not a cult of personality, and it's multi-ethnic, and it's not underwritten by a neighboring opposing religious country. The LRA is a largely a Kony personality cult, mostly Acholi Tribespeople (not multi-ethnic) in response to domination and oppression by other Ugandan Tribes, doesn't attract 30,000 foreign fighters from around the world. The LRA was largely supported by the Sudan, a Salafi Islam Oligarchical Theocracy, which underwrote the LRA for their own purposes: The LRA fought Christian South Sudanese on behalf of Khartoum.

If tens of thousands of Christians from Canada to Australia to South Africa to Bolivia joined the LRA, because Deus Vult! you might have a good comparison here.

Among Muslims, education and wealth increase the risk of supporting terrorism. You can see it in academic studies and countless examples, including many cited on PatNet, including here and here. In his 20s, Osama bin Laden had more than 10 million USD and a university education.

More than half of British Muslims want homosexuality banned, and half want homosexual teachers banned from classrooms.

Muslim chicks in the UK should all be issued M134.

That didn't work out so well in San Bernardino. Also Yemen, where Muslim females killed US special forces. Many of the females are believers, and either enable their husbands (e.g. Omar Mateen) or encourage their sons, and some become suicide bombers themselves. Perhaps we could arm the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, instead.
