A rant on why bashing Islam and Muslims in general = stupid.
Now, I know that 9/11 is not a funny thing to speak of, but neither is the situation with the people of the Middle East. Keep in mind, people have their own right to their own religious beliefs, and if someone else has a different ideal than yours, it's nothing to be all up-in-arms about it. In other words, put down those stupid guns for now! >( We ( Read more... )

I don't have problems with other religions myself since I'm agnostic, and I do agree those headscarves look nice sometimes. Good for windy days. I was wearing my little black cover jacket on my head a few weeks ago and felt a bit self-conscious because of the stigma surrounding such apparel.

Agreed. ;) Which is another reason why I find you so cool. :D People who are accepting of others and all are quite awesome.

this is why i'm henotheistic, holding yourself to a specific set of beliefs is just one more means of segregation. i honor your believes so please honor mine.

Sounds quite interesting. :3 I think I saw something of a message like that before, mainly with all the symbols of each major religion in the world coming together into a word that reads...Coexist.

i've seen the Coexist bumper sticker alot around here.

yes, exactly, thank you.
Each group has the good and the bad, and no one has any right to say a group is better than the other. Then again I blame the brainwashing the American government makes through Fox News and Hollywood.

Such is also why I tend to distance myself away from the movie industry for the most part. And yeah, Fox News...seriously, do they even believe 1/10 of the things they say? X.X

...Why are we having a religion if we do not even believe (take seriously) of our holy book? Seriously? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's the same with asking any believer in God or in any ideal they chose to believe to question their own belief.
It's always easy to point out others' mistakes and judge others, regardless our lack of knowledge. We don'ti take difference well, I'm afraid, that's why we tend to force our belief to others so they would conform with our ideals, but at the same time, often forget that they don't necessary want to be changed and the decision should be theirs to make, not ours. Hindsight is 20/20, indeed.

Though...agreed with ya greatly on the headscarf and casual clothing of the West. :D I guess it's me, but I don't mind the headscarf aesthetically, either. XD
Agreed on that, too. ^^; To not take seriously on one's own serious ideals is a bit. .problematic. It is one thing for Christians to not have to take the Bible word-for-word, but...it's completely different to ask people to forsake all the foundations of their morality and ideals and so forth. I mean, we ARE humans, so we can't really just abandon perspectives just because?
Agreed on that part, too, so much. Differences are taken badly by humanity, which is why the 20/20 on hindsight is a seriously accurate observation.
