Honour Retards
A clip on CNN of people stoning a Kurdish girl to death in Iraq stopped me, and I couldn’t be any more horrified and disgusted by this act. I swear, even heartless monsters won’t do that.
I found this comment beside the video, which explains the reason behind the horrible, awful, nasty, repulsive, atrocious act.
“Statements on the Kurdish website jebar.info claim the incident took place in Mosul, Iraq, and that the girl was Du’a Khalil Aswad, a 17-year old Kurd who was being killed for having had a relationship with a Sunni Muslim boy in a nearby town. These same online accounts indicate that some of the same members of the crowd who were stoning her to death were simultaneously documenting the act on their mobile phone”
That makes me wonder, why is the United States trying to bring democracy to these animals! They should just nuke them. There is no way to civilize this world trash.
This what happened when people grow up in a certain religion, which based on hating other religions. They get brain washed, and it’s really hard for them to be open-minded even if they claim to be. As they grow up, they get more involved in what they believe in and at some point they get into the extremism level
Every time I get into a religious decision with a person who is kind of tight in a religion they grow up in, I find they all have the same claims about how true their religion is. I usually ask “What makes you a 100% sure that is your religion is true?” I usually get the same answer, “Because I asked myself this question before and took sometime to look at it from an outside view and read about other religions, and at the end I found my religion is perfect and I believe in all what it stands for” I think by the time the people starts to get suspicious and start looking, they have already been internally brain fixed on their religion and it’s really hard for them to except a new thoughts.
I’m not trying to give my opinion and views in religions in here, I’m just trying to show how these people grow up on wrong thoughts, and it’s really hard to change them. A serious and brave solution needs to be taken.
Ah you are going through that phase everyone goes through during their 20s ;) You will find a way to handle the confusion eventually.

Fisrt of all, it is not possible for a country to be Muslim and democratic at the same time. A country must embrace secularism first in order to live in a democracy later. Otherwise, you will live in a destructive loop; Religious people using democracy to gain legislative power in order to destroy democracy and implement Islamic sharia.
As for the second part of your post, When you are part of a Muslim society, you don’t have any choice when it comes to what religion is “true” for the following reasons:
1. If you become something other than a Muslim, you will become a social outcast.
2. You will become a “murtad” and your punishment is death.
Therefore people who found fault with Islam either become “munafaqeen” or “hypocrites” where they are not Muslims but act as they are in front of people… or they become dead.
The first choice is obviously better at the moment, until the day that we get a true secular democracy (something I don’t see happening).
As for your friends, who claim that they read about other religions and got convinced that Islam is the “true” religion, this is a standard argument used by people from all religions. What did you expect them to say? I read about other religions and got convinced by Christianity but stayed Muslim nonetheless?
If you would like to have open minded discussions about religions, you can visit the liberal forum of Kuwait (blocked by fasttelco, so try a proxy).

A religious country can never become a democratic country whether the religion was islam, christiantiy, or judaism.
people who were born in a religous country are truly brain washed. though it took me 18 years to realize that everything i learned back in school was crap, @#&*, and WRONG. i see myself as a lucky person for realizing these things in an early age :)
confusion is good it will lead to more questions and more answers. i had so many encounters with brain washed people, at the end i decided to just turn my back and never talk to them in religous discussions,trust me it’s better for both parties, but if someone asked for my opinion…
i just tell them what i believe:) i don’t care if they were convinced or not , it’s their funeral not mine

This blog started out relatively intelligent and then sort of faded into mindless babble.
All war talk aside, I simply want to respond to the religious topic, since that is clearly your underlying theme of what causes the evil in the world.
I’ll make this brief.
The foundation of religions is basically doing good and coming unto God (whatever god that may be). Simple as that.
Evil men are born to the world and sometimes use religion to carry out and excuse their crimes. Not the other way around. Religions do not produce evil men. Evil men exist and they manipulate whatever system they belong to promote their agenda. These systems may include, but are not limited to the media, the law, the consititution, religion etc.
Evil self-hating men will and do use anything to get what they want, to justify and carry out their crimes. Ignorant people will blame the faulty laws “there wouldn’t be crime if we didn’t have laws to make things illegal!”…stupid….
Don’t be an unintelligent generalizing fool. Recognize that individuals become monsters by choosing to.

Purg,
I think I found my way, but I’m not sure if that is what I wanted to do yet!
Anonymous Coward,
I agree with all what you said, democracy won’t work over there. Find them something else!
Game Over,
I couldn’t close my ears and eyes at the same time. I only have to hands.
Anonymous,
Dear, I’m so sorry to tell you that you have totally miss understood my point in this post. I pointed at the end that has not to deal in anyway with my opinion in religions. There is no way I can deny that religions all over the world is trying to behave people and make them a better human being. However, as I pointed, once a religion starts to ge extreme then people should stand up and think twice before they do what they’ve been told so. For example, let’s look at what these bur bur have done to this girl in the name of religion. It wasn’t a personal act, they have been taught and asked to do so by their religious leaders! I hope you got my point and please let me know if you need any more clarification.

No, I didn’t miss the point, you spent the better half of your blog generalizing religions, and then in the last small paragraph you threw in that you weren’t giving your opinion on religions. Well, yes you were, you just spent a WHOLE paragraph talking about your opinion on and experience with people in their religions. You QUOTED something I SAID to you in that paragraph! Don’t deny it, and don’t act all surprised that I am defending my side.

Anonymous, First of all, you might said the same thing, but that’s the answer I get from everyone, and the one I QUOTED in my post wasn’t your’s, I’ll let you meet the person who told me that if you’re intrested. I was trying to make a point that it’s hard for people to change what they believe in, and it’s a problem if they believed on hating others, don’t you agree with that? I truly believe in religions to be a good thing, it might be the best thing ever happened to the humanity. I tried my best not to generalize religions. If you looked back on the main context I mentioned the kind of relegions I was talking about. “This what happened when people grow up in a certain religion, which based on hating other religions“.

Attention readers: I DIDN’T MEAN TO GENERALIZE ON MY POST. I WAS TRYING TO TALK ABOUT THE EXTREME RELIGIONS OUT THERE. RE LEGIONS ARE WONDERFUL THING IF IT WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE AT. I’M SO SORRY IF I’VE OFFENDED ANYONE IN THIS POST.

I’m confused, were you talking about religions? or sects within the same religion (islam). I kind of understood your point but i became confused after reading your commments
Comment on July 15, 2007 @ 11:06 pm
Game Over, It doesn’t matter if I meant a sect within a specific religion or a religion itself. I wasn’t trying to talk about religions, I’m just trying to show how people who grow up in a certain thing is hard for them to except others, and that might be a problem if their religion encourage violence against the other.
