I wonder how many Good Ol' Boy WASP types murdered their wives and girlfriends last week.... and yet they don't get their own threads.

Why is that, do you think?

How many women are hiding out in shelters tonight in fear of losing their lives? Where are THEIR threads?

Nooooooo..... let's pick out the story about Muslems and express our outrage.

I'll join you in expressing outrage about senseless violence anywhere, against man or woman. I think perhaps it's just that we're unaccustomed to BE-HEADINGS in America. The dragging behind the truck was horrific, of course. But, frankly, as awful as it was, no one held that poor guy down and sawed his head off. It takes a whole nother type of person to look their victim, someone they entered into a contract with, for the rest of their life, in the eye while they saw through their neck. The dragging behind the truck was a horrific thing, but a group mentality, and no one had to watch that guy. He was far behind them. So, yeah, in my mind be-heading your wife is far far worse.

You should read the book I cited Tilt. It's intriguing. You'll learn a lot. It's not pro or con, just the facts about how Arabs raise their children, value their women, think in general, etc, etc.

Tilt, you ignorant slut, it's not about fixation on a certain race or religion. It's about hypocrisy with a good dose of irony. It's claimed to be the religion of peace yet it is so violent. That's why Mutt posted the two differing stories.

Gawd I hate having to explain the English language to dumb Georgia crackers.

In a male-dominated society I suppose a woman is merely a collection of body parts.

In this case the sicko made that a reality.

It's astounding your level of self hatred. You are one of the most miserable people i've ever seen on the Net. It's like you've never grew up out of your adolescent emo stage.

Now to address your fallacy: in what may be described as typical American culture, there are NO folkways that enable such abusive and murderous behaviors. None. Obviously in *any* society, there are sickos, but they do not represent a defining characteristic of Western culture. In fact, our culture (and most others) goes to great lengths to catch and punish them and to educate against such behavior.

Now, contrast that with Islamic culture. In much of Islamic culture, violence against women - and good old fashioned subjugation - tied to male and family honor is an age old and defining characteristic (one of many to be sure) of their society, supported by Islam, whether that support is twisting the religion or not. Certainly it is a minority behavior, but it is quietly accepted through custom and law. Moreover, there is not much *real* effort to reform this. There is a LOT of talk about typical Muslims looking down on all this, but there have been case after case of so called moderate muslims engaging in it. Usually the ones who are shouting "muslims are normal people" are the ones we see in the news. Over and over and over.

I know you will never read this post and even if you did, you would never allow this very real and clear distinction in culture to make it past your bias and sense of PC. But nevertheless, it is the cold hard truth.

It's paradoxical that some people who would scapegoat all the billion plus Muslims in the world for September 11th sound like John Rocker when they talk about New York City.

Then again, some people are just crazy.


The bottom line for me is this ----

One shouldn't believe all Christians are like Ted Haggard or Jerry Falwell. One shouldn't believe all Republicans are like Rush Limbaugh based on a toxic minority. It can be difficult at times, but I try not to. The ignore feature helps.

I'm realising more and more that if the nasty people turn you into one of them, then they've won. It's best not to engage them at all.

And the fallacy continues. No one is saying "all muslims." We're saying that Islamic culture tends to have deep rooted pathologies that are orders of magnitude greater than Western breakdowns of morality. And, whereas the christian wackos contribute little to that, Islam - or its mass perversion - contributes greatly to those pathologies.

You won't listen because you can't handle even considering opposing viewpoints. You're one of those people who are so emotionally delicate that *any* deviation from what you hold true would bring down the house of cards. It's pathetic.

Uh......Mutt, that is a pretty good EMO rant ya got there. You are just beside yourself about this "self hatred", as you call it.
I suppose if a muslim man were to criticize muslim male behavior it would be "self hatred" too.

This "PC" thing is like "reds under the bed" for the new age mad dog conservatives.

It's a most interesting phenomenon! It's rare (to me at least) to see it so strongly concentrated in someone over the age of 20. Tilt is something of a freak, and I enjoy pointing it out.

You guys need to lay off tilt. Heck, I am amazed that he has any time to post at all what with all his volunteering for Domestic Violence shelters and the like.

you quote his post as being ignored. Actions speak louder than words. It just shows that he gets to you. So he wins, you lose.

Wrong again, Hyway.

He taunts me and I taunt him by not taunting him thereby causing him to wet his diaper.

I win!

no matter how you respond, if you respond yopu aren't ignoring so your taunting statements aren't true. So you are taunting him with lies. No comment on wetting his diapers, I have no interest in gaining knowledge in that area.

"Wetting diapers" is a figure of speech, Hyway.
