I'm working on a project looking at how Islam is portrayed in the media, the internet included. I am going to use this thread as one of my sources.

ITT, post your personal feelings about Islam, and/or how you receive Islam through the media.

dirka dirka, bunch of fucked up sand nansies that need to get some serious sand out of their vaginas

12/1/2009 1:33:40 AM

I don't think TWW counts as "the media"

12/1/2009 1:34:35 AM

in all seriousness, the word "zionist" is awesome

[Edited on December 1, 2009 at 1:39 AM. Reason : that is all]

12/1/2009 1:34:36 AM

^since your so free to give up other peoples land why dont you donate your abode to the zionists

12/1/2009 1:35:58 AM

i think your average christian is worse than your average muslim.
A) like 5/3rds of the human population is muslim and of those 10.2 billion people only about 1200 are extremists.
B) your average christian knows basically nothing about christianity outside of the myth which encompasses basically every religion.
C) i don't think its sand nansies

Media is means of communication that reaches or influences people widely.

IMO, internet message boards fall under that category. I have to get seven specific media types, and then three that are up to me. The prof said be creative, and I feel like this is something nobody else in the class will think of.

12/1/2009 1:40:11 AM

BTW Ben you probably should have posted this in the Lounge or Soap Box if you wanted serious answers

12/1/2009 1:40:51 AM

i think they're just peachy! I know they sent us to war and all but thats only because we were mean to them in egypt i think. It gave us a chance to open our arms as wide as possible to accommodate them so they dont have to adapt to us but we to them. how else are going to get culture in this country? we have slavery and believe in made-in-china here in the south. i think ny was probably the best place for them to land on earth because those people have so much kindness they're like the most diverse place in the world right. They are a religion peace and acceptance mostly, because you can tell by how much outcry against the actions on 911 there was from the muslim community. The more the better I say. Christians are always telling us when to eat dinner and when bedtime is and not paying our xbox live fees on time plus college says they're bad too so we need more diversity and all. Anything to pay for what we did to them on 911

12/1/2009 1:41:12 AM

What do you mean by you muslims

12/1/2009 1:42:30 AM

I'll go to CNN for serious answers. What I'm looking for will come from this thread, I'm certain of it.

(Soap Box isn't as relevant anyway, Religion and Politics aren't always the same thing)

pretty sure he's looking for the type of non-serious responses in this thread that he can then quote out of chit-chat context as though they are serious, in his paper.

pretty genius - i tip my hat to thee, and bid you good luck.

12/1/2009 1:43:56 AM

that 21 virgins thing is pretty cool

12/1/2009 1:44:14 AM

[Edited on December 1, 2009 at 1:44 AM. Reason : ^]

Feel free to post serious answers though...a combination of intellectual thought and racist banter wouldn't be such a bad thing

Talking to some buddies who just got back for Afganistan. Appearently its cool to do gay shit when you are younger. Apparently they view "young men" as for pleasure though prematerial sex with a women is a huge no no.


Thats really fucking gay if you ask me. And you wonder why they are so fucked up

12/1/2009 1:52:34 AM

there should be highly relevant pictures to demonstrate this interesting point... a picture is worth a thousand words.

12/1/2009 1:54:06 AM

like any religion, the extremists ruin it for everyone else. they blow people up with suicide attacks. the jews elect prime ministers. the americans elect presidents. different strokes for different folks.

12/1/2009 1:54:23 AM

I think that terrorist and extremist muslim are synonymous.

Let it be known that any extremist from any religion is dangerous

12/1/2009 1:54:27 AM

The religion itself preaches basically the same thing as other religions, love, peace, unity etc. but it's unfortunate that many of the followers of Muhammad have misconstrued His teachings.

12/1/2009 1:54:52 AM

unless they're not muslim. but thats just a roll of the dice right
way to stand up tall and sit directly on the fence on this guys

^like you fucking know what the teachings are better than the clerics because you read the wikipedia on it? college has fucked you my friend

i heard christians only like jews because jews have to be in control of jerusalem for jesus to appear

12/1/2009 1:58:06 AM

im just gonna go ahead let you guys inform each other with these facts

12/1/2009 1:59:13 AM

^^George W. Bush believes this way (no joke)

12/1/2009 2:28:25 AM

yeah i saw that on a photoshopped image of W holding a bong (i think it was real) it was a direct quote

12/1/2009 2:29:45 AM

Brown people religion.

12/1/2009 2:30:33 AM

I don't have a problem with it. Let the Muslims believe what they believe just like the Christians believe what they believe.

12/1/2009 2:31:36 AM

bingo

toss in a little "putting some thought into where and how to enforce existing laws" and we got a great party time happening. but thats old hat, now our marine corp's primary objective is diversity and our police forces are rolling in m1-a2 abrams to the beat of whatever mayor's got the magic "dont sue me" sign on his chest

12/1/2009 2:37:41 AM

keep it coming guys, thanks for the help, this is great

12/1/2009 3:43:58 AM

terrorist/ wmd proliferators

bitchy professors

12/1/2009 3:50:56 AM

^you never cease to amaze me

If you would like to study a sect that both transcends Islam and is at its very mystical center, look into Sufism. You will find that it is much different than the more orthodox Islamic sects.

And at the other end of the Islamic spectrum, you should look into the dangers of sharia. The following is an informative article about this:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2005/08/top_ten_reasons_why_sharia_is.html

NB: Be careful with the word "sect" as it relates to Islam, though. The Quran states that creating sects in Islam is forbidden--but these divisions of belief obviously exist.
