Importtuner, it would be nice if this thread could remain open. Please...for the love of god,chill.

Read this Importtuner:

Hell, I'll even quote it for you:

 

Hi!

 

Welcome to LP...

 

In this sub-forum we will occasionally have controversial threads... You will recognize them because they will involve heated topics, that get people's blood boiling. If you have two functioning brain cells you will figure out which topics they are without too much help from me.... If you're unsure if a controversial topic falls under this definition, and feel the need to ask a moderator, CONGRATULATIONS! You've found such a thread!!!

 

If you have less than 200 posts, read these threads, root along, make a Roman VooDoo doll and stick it with pins (WTF do I Care? The dog died years ago.)... But please don't post in such threads.... It's not that we don't value your input.... Actually, strike that... That's exactly what it is... You're new... And the long time membership just don't value your input...

 

 

Unlike the Business Sub-section, there are no exceptions to this rule in this forum. I don't care if you've been a member longer than me... I don't care if you've been a member since the earth cooled.... If you don't have the posts to have established yourself as part of the LP Family, its unlikely other members will have a whole lot of patience with you on a controversial topic.... I mean, Captn Chaos can prattle on about the socialist utopia that is Europe... And I can call him a stupid limey and threaten to choke him with an avocado.... But we both consider each other as members of the LP family, and Capn knows I love him like a brother.... A slow Limey Brother who ate paint chips as a kid, but a brother nonetheless.... And no harm will come from it.... You??? We don't know you from a dog turd on the lawn. We don't know where you're coming from, who you are, or why in the hell we should give two shits about your opinion on a subject. So, don't bother us with it. Know up front, I don't like the thread already, and your posting in it won't make me like it any better.

 

Thanks... Now piss off and have a nice day!

Bro, my patience has reached its limit. Maybe it is time to take a break.

The statement made by the perp as seen on video and as I quoted above absolutely is not unique to this event. In nearly every event where westerners were attacked by Muslim terrorists, the reason and justification were the same:

 

1. Muslims dying

2. Koran justification to retaliate

 

Boston bombing, 9/11, 7/11, Times Square bomb attempt, Chicago bomb attempt, Mali, Afghanistan 'friendly' fire, Benghazi,......

Believe all ranting people do you? They are so hell bent on proving a point about our government they only attacked one person with so many other people about. They acted like they wanted to get caught. They had no plan, the state of the car crumpled into a sign is a good indicator on the organised ability these two have.

You do not know their mental wellbeing, you do not know anything at this point because (and I hate to do it in capitals) NO fcuking INFORMATION HAS ACTUALLY BEEN RELEASED. There are no facts in the public domain.

 

You have an agenda. You have no facts. You are no longer required in this thread.

You do make a few good arguments, but still....

This is 100% not true. Most of these people are not "crazy". They often are well educated and known by their peers to be fairly normal. I'm not an expert on the topic but I'm sure they wouldn't exhibit the same signs as a psychopath would (ie a completely lacking in empathy and such) to be considered insane like some serial killers are.

 

The problem is not exactly religion but blind faith. Faith demands no rationality or explanation, which explains the irrational things it leads to. Irrational things as small as genuine beliefs horoscopes to as big as killing people because you think your god told you to do it.

I never said they were stupid. Most idealists are brilliant people. eg, the Unibomber, and sadly the Boston bombers were very well educated and quite smart.

Fanatical could be a better choice of words over crazy. But call a spade a spade

Yes. Slightly OT (but maybe not), most higher up terrorists are well-educated (often in Western schools), wealthy, well-traveled and well-connected.

 

Some say fanatical, others say devout.

As el capitano has said, no facts have been released about the two suspects and an investigation will take time.

 

Opinions of how religion is the route cause of attacks like this are misguided. An individual with deep feelings about an ideal, no matter how righteous it is to the rest of the world, will always try and justify it to themselves through any means they can, which for the most part is through religion. This doesn't make other followers of the same religion nut-jobs. Extremists hide behind anything they can, take religion away from a fanatic and they will find something else to push their agenda.

Why is everyone unyielding to bring up the role certain religious ideologies play? I know these threads won't allow it, but I don't see why it should not be questioned. People have no problems blaming liberal, conservative, or communist ideals in spite of who it offends. Is religion any different? It's incredible to see the knee-jerk opposition to those that dare bring it up. It should not be immune from criticism nor should anyone feel pressured not to!

You have an opinion and that's fine, but when you pull a comment out of your ass like

Islam and Mohammed are responsible for this. There, I said it.
. Then you're no longer giving an opinion, you're just further inflaming unnecessary hatred of certain peoples and religions.

And your comments are the reason we don't have political or religious threads on LPower

I disagree that this is 'out of my ass' as you say. Many perps of these type of attacks have credited their actions to what I've brought up, and it continues to happen. These are their justifications and nearly all aren't as uneducated or mentally unstable as people would like them to be. There is enough evidence to trace these reactions to religious doctrine. If you want to hate a certain group, that's your prerogative. Making statements, like the popular media and leaders of the community have, to purge its role and prevent any backlash to that community, is outright dishonest. Do you feel more comfortable stigmatizing a mentally ill community instead, since people have brought that up with ease? Nothing should be off the table. Out of respect for some of the members and the social cohesion that has been built up, I won't bring it up.

As capt_chaos has pointed out, IMO, we shouldn't judge until we have the facts. Gun rights people got very upset when in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting a lot of people starting jumping down their throats. We should not do that with regards to Muslims or anything here.

 

However, if due to religion, things I would look into are for example populations of Muslims that become radicalized and who do not learn to integrate into society, but rather form their own enclosed "societies-within-a-society." They need to learn to speak the language and to respect the principle of religious freedom and tolerance if they are choosing to live in a free country. Otherwise, it is going to possibly lead to a structural problem at some point if/when the Muslims of the extremist variety start out-numbering the non-Muslims.

 

One question also is what percentage of the Muslim population supports the actions of the extremists. From what I have read, there is a large percentage of the Muslim population that while it doesn't engage in violent acts itself, does support such acts.

It's not about guns. It's not about religion. If you eliminate those 2 you still have crazy people that will still hold on to some nutso idea. Hell, they could say the moon told them to do it.

 

Crazy is just crazy and it can't hide behind religion or guns or political parties.

:iamwithstupid:

Exactly!

Islam, Christianity and Judaism all say about the same thing(no wonder, they are more or less copies of each other) about God, Mercy and Violence. There really isn´t more violence postulated in Islam than it is in the Bible or Talmud(and yes I have read a far amount of both). The problem with Islam is that most of the spiritual leaders of Islam preach in shitholes and dictatorships(so called "monarchies) where they have control of further education therefore dumbing the muslims down and making them blind believers of everything they say for they are the only authority the people know. How can you debate somethig when it is the only thing you know? Your only source of information? They then export those people to western societies to sway the weak minded and problem riddled psychopaths.

Well educated and into western society integrated muslims really couldn´t care less about that problem because just like most other well educated people(and I count myself as one of them) they really couldn´t care much about religion itself.

I just find it scary that so many people truly believe that it is a problem of religions without even knowing the religion. A testament of the influence the media has and the laziness people bring to the table and probably their own readiness for violence and intolerance.

Scary!

Crazy is crazy wether it finds islam oder right wing propaganda or unemployment for a reason to act doesn´t matter much.

Its not like people are on a witch hunt for one particular religion because they dont understand it. Step back, its much simpler then that. You have all these atrocities across the world happening, and the people responsible all claiming its in the name of Islam. No i dont believe we should start corralling all the muslims (becasue thats a brilliant plan :eusa_wall: ) but the main issue lies in why the trend seems to alwasy lean towards that religion. And to be honest, it could have nothing to do with the religion at all, it could simply be that the middle east, where it just so happens that religion is the majority, is just the way they wage wars. But fact is, its still the tying factory between the majority of these attacks and requires us to look into it further.
