If this post is dated before 2011, I almost certainly do not agree with its contents any more. I had a profound philosophical shift that began in early 2010, which ultimately left me somewhere left of center. Please disregard all right-wing, nutjob ramblings you may find here.
According to this story, a short “anti-Koran” film has been taken offline due to death threats against the site hosting the film. On this Digg thread, there are lots of asinine comments about this story, and Islam in general, but also one gem. In response to the (probably facetious) question, “How could anyone feel threatened by someone who adheres to the religion of peace?”, one digger replied
“It’s the religion of peace and we will kill anyone who says it isn’t.”
That, friends, is becoming an axiom. Yes, I know there are billions of Muslims around the world who aren’t participating in violence. But there are increasing numbers who are threatening violence against anyone who says anything about their cult^H^H^H^H religion, and far too many willing to carry out those threats.
Just to point out the obvious….there isn’t anything about Islam that is more or less cultish than Christianity. They’re both ridiculous in my mind.
