The beheading of the american

no...but he asked me to name something theycve done... so i did...

They do salads too! McDonalds are healthy now..

i wasnt reading properly, sorry..

what an insightful post....

What a pretentious capitalist western comment... As capitalists we are born with nothing, spend our entire life greedly trying to live a luxurious lifestyle and die with nothing... We are never content and always envious of the next man, wanting a bigger house or better job...

An alternative would be say becoming hare krishna, your born with nothing, live a content life banging drums and getting spirritual kicks, you die with nothing... but at least you lead a content life.

Now who has lived the richer life - jealous capitalist or the hare krishna... So don't give me that bullshit about evolving as a species...

Christians slated jews, jews slated muslims, muslims slated sikhs... This has happened since the beginning of time - do you think capitalist arrogance is any different to religious arrogance... Its easy to blame a religion, its harder to blame humans.

The reality is you can't get more admirable than most religious teaching, they have provided the moral fibre of society for centures.... To blame something so respectable for their own manipulation is retarded... You find me one mainstream evil religion and I'll eat humble pie.

Its cultural arrogance that leads to the dismissal of cultural groups like religion. We pressume we have evolved further/are doing the right thing/etc. when in reality its just an alternative lifestyle... Religion isn't the cause of wars - humans are... if it wasn't religion it would be whatever replaced it (the cold war for example).

Religion is an easy scapegoat - fact.

Not to mention that:

Most of the countries in question here have:

Economies dependent on one or two industries due to past colonialism
No chance of modernising and escaping them due to IMF, World Bank, WTO and Western govenments forcing them to open their markets to competition but keeping trade barriers up in the west
An AIDS pandemic that could be controlled if GlaxoSmithKline and others sold their drugs at fair prices. Not too much to ask when you take in to consideration that Glaxo did NOT ONE SECOND of research in to discovering that they had an anti-retroviral drug that could alleviate AIDS suffering. The US government discovered it for them and asked them to test it on humans, at which Glaxo patented the drug and left 5 people a minute to die of AIDS in Africa.

On the other hand, countries such as Chille, Botswana, South East Asian countries and even to an extent Ethiopia have done very well by resisting the immense pressure to be further raped and pillaged from the western powers to

Nobody can deny that some, indeed many governments and leaders have been corrupt and harmed their own countries. But to say they are the main cause is utter right-wing rhetoric of the tallest order.

I've just saw the video and that was fucking disgusting.

If our media report on iraqi's being tortured was fake, the media buildings involved in making it public should be fucking torched with the bastards that spread it burning in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, and the tortures did actually happen.

actually most of the curries you find in a western indian restaurant originate from the far north of India but mainly pakistan, and they are "muslim dishes" (my source was an Indian christian historian who taught me Indian history while i was living there....incase you wondered)

or Bradford

10 pages of posts...and that's the best one

just seen the vid...its pretty awful, but not as bad as i was expecting, probs coz it isnt good quality....which im glad!!

pretty sick non the less though

I'm not gonna watch it cos I'm a wuss

These two sentences have come from different parts of your post. The reason being... that not all Arabs are muslim. At least 5% of the Arabs living in Israel/occupied Palestine (depending on your views but I subscribe to the latter) are Christian, for example.

It isn't? Again? When were we last attacked by Iraq? We colonized it once, and now we have again. How come the US administration in Iraq has sold off over 200 Iraqi sate owned industries to foreign investors, who have shed hundreds of thousands of jobs from these companies. This is a practice which is illegal under international law.

It's a sad state of affairs, but I believe that what the Muslim world has started the west will finish in one way or another. [/B][/QUOTE]

In addition, Arabs have made an enormous contribution to culture. Do you read Arab literature? Do you listen to Arab music, which would clearly be extremely diverse? Probably not. Just because you do not like what music you have heard from the East, does not make it any less good than our taste.

Just seen the video...

Sick.

Couldnt they have found a bigger fuking knife?

That video is extremely fucking disturbing....

...the fact that its real really makes it a hell of a lot worse.

fucking sick, definatley will not be watching that again

Thats all they could afford off the western countries company who supplied it.
