When bashing islam ...Jihad means internal struggle. When bashing islam one should get their basics straight.<BR/><BR/>For instance many people assume there is a concept of holy war in Islam. There isn't. And no its not jihad either. <BR/><BR/>Ironic that almost everywhere you see muslim fundamentalists, there is an outside element powering it. Remember Osama was trained by the US to fight the Soviets. Saddam was put in power by the US. Saudi was created by the British as a group of extremists to keep muslims forever divided. etc etc etcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-46925373651799872892007-08-27T16:34:00.000-04:002007-08-27T16:34:00.000-04:00I'm dovetailing here, specifically about Mr. Zizek...I'm dovetailing here, specifically about Mr. Zizek.<BR/>Did you, by chance, rent the DVD "Children of Men"? The reason I'm asking is that in the extra features, there are two videos with Mr. Zizek. One entirely of just him commenting on the film, while the other incorporates his opinionating along with 3 other philosophers and some assorted scientists on the future of mankind. All very incisive, but specifically on target was that great Slovenian Zizek. If you haven;t seent he DVD, it's well worth it for the extras. And, hey, the movie itself is pretty damn good as well.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-89927453193057962922007-08-27T11:22:00.000-04:002007-08-27T11:22:00.000-04:00"bigger problem is the fundamentalist sense of rem..."bigger problem is the fundamentalist sense of removal from society"<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure that most killers have broad social networks.jewish philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987540457195983665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-55054721472364589672007-08-27T11:21:00.000-04:002007-08-27T11:21:00.000-04:00And what's that about "bootlegging Viagra"?

They may find financial, religious, political, sexual or any other excuse for committing violence. <BR/><BR/>Convincing people that God will punish violence is the best means of curbing violence. Judaism, for example, does that.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why so few get that.
