That's the thing though, this shit is going on in 2014. It's embarrassing to the human race.
And? Less developed regions of the world are going to be slower at hitting this reformations/revolutions/whatever you want to call them than areas like Europe/America/etc.
Everything ties together. Wealth and prosperity of a nation, religious beliefs, political strife, social conditions, historical problems.
Yet Islamic nations are some of the only nations with this problem.
Not quite. It's the most noticeable because it's spread over such a vast region - from Morocco to Pakistan, but plenty of other nations are having their own problems. Sri Lanka, recently, had it's civil war over ethnic problems and is still facing tensions. There's still plenty of ethnic problems in sub-Saharan Africa, along with political corruption, strife, and borderline genocide in places. Latin America is also facing problems, again - not religious. There are dozens of countries facing problems with extremists - they just aren't all Islamic. Hell, even Eastern Europe is still having growing pains following the Soviet Union dismantling twenty years ago. Less developed countries, countries that have been marginalized, ignored, or used negatively - they ARE going to be slower at having these changes. Of course, that doesn't show why Euro Muslims are so odd, but it helps display the constant problems in countries like Pakistan.

There are a number of peaceful Muslims,
Not enough.
There are an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. How many of those do you honestly believe are terroristic/extremists?

I simply cannot find enjoyment in such a place where there is so much fecal-slinging, anarchic views, and a lack of booty. Spoiler I'll be gone for most of the afternoon while I take a train home.
Don't fuck shit up.

Plenty of Christians think that as well, with some pastors also saying I should be killed.
Doesn't mean I'm going to condemn every last Christian and say it needs to be wiped out. And I'm not going to simply stand by and let bullheaded comments regarding that same idea for Islam and Muslims go through.
Nobody here is condemning every last Muslim.
You certainly make it out to seem that way, based on your experience with "British Muslims"

Also, I'm going to post a reminder from the entire staff to keep the debate civil and remember that there are new rules in place for Serious, including new, harsher penalties.
I'll be gone for a good chunk of the afternoon, but I'm sure some of the others won't mind stepping in if needed.

I disagree.
Then you're wrong.
You simply can't believe that Islamism isn't prevalent when 68pc of British Muslims quite seriously oppose freedom of speech. That perspective and that fact can't coalesce in any way.
> British Muslims.
Your point? They're Muslims living in a 1st world country. They don't live in the poverty people in the Middle East or Africa do, yet they're radical.
It's hilarious to me that a homosexual man is sitting here debating me on how the majority of Muslims are good. Most every single one thinks you're a disgusting excuse of a human being simply because you're homosexual. You know that right? They don't even consider you human. I'm not saying you should think the same of them, I'm just saying you might want to rethink your stance on apologizing for people who would kill you in the street.

The preliminary move gives Bush the ability to raise money to dole out to other candidates, although it doesn't herald a formal candidacy just yet. In past cycles, a handful of candidates - like Republican Haley Barbour and Democrat Evan Bayh -- have made similar moves but ultimately decided not to mount a full-blown bid.
But the announcement will signal to donors that he's getting more serious about a run, which is likely to put pressure on other Republicans jockeying for position.
Just reading this and being reminded of how US elections and politics are basically bought is pretty disgusting.
Oh you don't believe it. Considering we haven't even hit 2015 and there's already people beginning the steps to fundraise for an election two years away is a joke.

Essentially say he is in to kick off the Invisible 2016 PrimaryFormer Florida Gov. Jeb Bush announced Tuesday that he will "actively explore" the possibility of a presidential run in 2016.
Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush and the son of President George H.W. Bush, announced in a Facebook post that he decided to take the step after spending Thanksgiving with his family.
"As a result of these conversations and thoughtful consideration of the kind of strong leadership I think America needs, I have decided to actively explore the possibility of running for President of the United States," he wrote.
Bush also said that he will establish a leadership PAC -- a political fundraising organization -- in January.
"The PAC's purpose will be to support leaders, ideas and policies that will expand opportunity and prosperity for all Americans," he said.

But the announcement will signal to donors that he's getting more serious about a run, which is likely to put pressure on other Republicans jockeying for position.
His presidential pedigree and experience leading a large and diverse state has made him a favorite of GOP establishment heavyweights. But some conservatives take issue with Bush's previous positions on immigration policy and the Common Core education standards.
A November NBC/WSJ poll found that Bush is viewed positively by 26 percent of those surveyed, while 33 percent view him negatively.
Bush has kicked off the training wheels - expect more people to begin announcing before January.

> British Muslims. A majority of Christian denominations (If I recall correctly, namely Protestants, Baptists, Mormons, etc.) oppose any sort of same-sex unions, same-sex adoptions, etc. Therefore, most Christians around the world must also do so, based on my personal experience with a set of religious folk in my country alone.

Just so you guys know, Isara gave up on this idea. The chances of the idea ever coming to light again are slim to none.
Wouldn't say given up. It's just been shelved until the New Year, after the forum upgrades, to be examined along with other ideas suggested >.>

only reason it seems SO more prevalent now is because we have a 24 hour news media to report on this shit at any hour of the day.
No.
It's because it's prevalent.

inb4 people blame Is-
Oh, I see Meta is already here.
What the fuck are we supposed to blame? Poverty? No criminal has ever murdered children for money.
In Islam? Possibly. Here? Sure
Mom in North Carolina Kills 2 Sons for Insurance Money
Mom shoots Child in Stroller, had a "financial interest in his death"
Meanwhile, a Dad kills his son to play a video game
Crazy people are going to do crazy shit - no matter their religion, political beliefs, etc.
I meant a massacre. Of course people kill each other and kids over nothing.
But nobody has killed a group of children over poverty. They do it because they're deranged or over their beliefs.
Exactly. They do it because they are crazy and believe they need to take their beliefs to the furthest most point. You have seen it in every religion throughout history - only reason it seems SO more prevalent now is because we have a 24 hour news media to report on this shit at any hour of the day. Not diminishing the tragedy, but to solely blame a belief without examining the psyche of the perpetuator is just as bad.

Kinder, don't report the same thing three times in a row in a span of a couple minutes. Doesn't win you any points.

CNN is reporting two deaths based on ABC News, but ABC News has not reported any deaths.
The entire thing is unprofessional I'm sorry for families that are worrying about the current status of their loved ones and can't get good news.
> American News Sources That's the problem.

Only hope this doesn't hinder the alternative energy automobile industry that bad.
Then make alt. energy cheaper than gas
Would love to - let the oil companies know that we should start doing so for me, will ya?
That's the great thing about Capitalism, people will learn on their own that in order to make money, they have to offer competitive prices
And that's the thing about new inventions - they are never cheap to mass produce and offer to the general population, at least right away.
