Paris horror attack

[RED-DOG]

Reading comments on social media pages there are thousands and thousands of seemingly normal every day Muslims supporting yesterday's horrific shootings. Of course you will always get people on social media saying things but the majority really seem to think yesterday was justified.

Please tell me how you could possibly know, or even think that?

Do you know any Muslims? (Actual flesh and blood people I mean)

Have you asked even one?

I really despair when someone I consider to be above average intelligence is prepared to believe that the majority of 1.6 billion decent, ordinary men, women and children would think that murdering 12 innocent people in cold blood was justified because you read it on social media.

If you asked 100 children in England what was a Muslim how many do you think would have negative connotations? Or answer terrorist/bomber etc?
...

Similarly to Red's point I think if you asked this question the majority would actually say something about what they've learned in RE, or if they live in a more racially diverse area they'd think of their friends.

I think posts like this probably show something about a particular frame of reference rather than a more widely held generalisation.

Do you not think that there is the slightest possibility that posts like yours could cause some low IQ idiots to retaliate by taunting school kids, desecrating a Mosque, pouring petrol through some random person's letterbox, or kicking some poor bloke to death in a dark car park?

You are obviously intelligent and along with others ignore the fact that in every country where Islam is the basis of the legal system, human rights are grossly abused.

Religion is mind cancer.

In every country where Atheism has been the state religion, human rights have been grossly abused.

Would you draw the same conclusion there?

We have only ignored it because we were using this thread to discuss something different.

HTH

Atheism isn't a religion.

and I'm glad you agree with my assertion about Islamic countries and human rights abuse.

Do you not think there is a possibility that posts like yours provide some great ideas as to the preferred method......?

"Reading comments on social media pages...the majority really seem to think yesterday was justified"

From the comments he's seen on social media some appear to be from Muslims. And from those that appear to be from Muslims the majority seem to think yesterday was justified. The only thing we can really prove from that statement is a lot of people use Facebook to troll. Bit of a leap to turn 'the majority' of posts pleno has seen on Facebook into 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide.

Think you're equally jumping to conclusions itt cowboy.

I totally agree. It was obvious ( to me anyway ) that Pleno was referring to the majority of facebook posts hes seen not the majority of the worlds Muslim population. How could that have been conceived any other way . Also lol at the Woodsey bashing train some people are jumping on.

Can we name a country that isn't guilty of human rights abuse at some point in the last 150 years? Your point seems a bit moot, although I agree somewhat with the anti religion stance, the common denominator is the human race.
