[quote:Anonymous Coward 9277476:MV8yMDY2MTM2XzM0NzY3OTM5XzQyRjREOTA0] [quote:Prostetnik:MV8yMDY2MTM2XzM0NzYzNTExX0Y4NjE1RDg3] [quote:bvndy:MV8yMDY2MTM2XzM0NzYyODQ5XzNCQTlENUM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 13728447:MV8yMDY2MTM2XzM0NzYyNzIxXzY4NzRCRDRG] What could this mean ? [/quote] Its means that a bunch of muslimtards are doing exactly what they said they would do, mainly put the country they rule back in the 14th century. The internet is hated by Muslims, they say its because of the "filth" but its really the freedom. The internet represents technology, easier living, and most importantly, freedom. Anathema to a bunch of bloodthirsty religious fanaticd that kill young girls for having the nerve to get raped [/quote] It may surprise you to learn that in the cities of countries like Syria, under the dictatorship, that people became quite secular and focused on all of the things that people who live in western cities focus on. Sure they have Islam as a pert of the background noise. Just like the west has Christianity as a part of the background. And even a few fundamentalists who make Christianity look really bad. They are not all zealous demonstrators of the fervour of their faith. The dictators like the Shah of Iran were forces for modernization, westward looking. Maybe you do not remember that Beirut was once a cosmopolitan city and compared to Paris. Young people used to go as tourists to Afghanistan. Even Tehran was a desired exotic destination. There are lots of people in the Islamic world who would be just like you and me if they had the chance. [/quote] Christianity is NOT a part of the background of the US, it is the foundation. But we also have the freedom to worship flying spaghetti monsters if we choose. [/quote]
