ranting about ignorant uneducated americans
a few days ago i saw on the news something so incredibly idiotic that it proved in a mere 4 minutes that americans know NOTHING about the Islam religion.
there was a report that said muslims are now accepting jesus as their lord and savior.... now i dont know if im alone in saying "are you kidding me?" it may come as news to some people but the Islam religion is basically the Christian religion "updated". just like Christianity is the Jewish religion "updated". Muslims believe in the new testemate, some of the old testemate and then their newer bible the koran. they dont beleive that moses, jesus, or muhammed were godly or anything like that, they classify them as prophets or at one point in time the voice of god.
in my opinion, not being religious but being agnostic (since i cannot know the truth i classify it as a possibility that there is 1 or many gods), i think, yes those people were great personages of historical significance and did great things (well, except for muhammeds whole rolling with a gang of thugs who would pillage and steal all the time) but what they may have just been trying to tell us is morals to live by and possibly even using god as a father figure that would punish you if you did wrong to convince people to abide by certain rules that would be for the better good of the community.
but another thing, people always hate on jews because "they killed jesus" oh come on, historical fact shows that ponchus pilot handed jesus over to the romans who crucified him (and another thing, crucification wasnt even a big deal back then, that was the normal for of execution back then so jesus suffered just as much as the other 100,000+ people who were crucified back then so the symbol of the cross doesnt make much sense, if jesus was killed by guillotine would jesus lying down on a guillotine with his head lying a few feet away in a basket be the symbol of christians dead savoir?) anyways, i argue that it was a very smart idea by king herod II to hand over jesus to the romans by the basic rules of maximum happiness utilitarianism. by killing one person, he saved his entire kingdom from destruction. back in the time of jesus (many people sadly dont know this) king herod II was the king of Israel and the roman rule over them had just about enough of their jewish religious exploits and the worst thing that could happen would be talk of a new messiah. so what happened? jesus, a fair carpenter with a wife and a few kids started preaching new principals such as "turn the other shoulder" and the people proclaimed him a messiah. people then got carried away and started calling him the son of god. now king herod II was trying to be very careful not to get his whole kingdom slaughter by the romans so he did what any reasonable person would do, he sacrificed 1 man to the romans, in exchange for the safety of his people. eventually in the following years, the proclaimed "christians" started a revolution and fled to convert as many people as they could. the romans heard about this and were outraged as well so they decided to kill all of king herod II's kingdom, jews fled and Israel was deserted. (this is why there wasnt an established Israel until after WWII where the UN basically gave palestine to the jews and re-named it Israel)
now over 50% of the US voted for george bush on "moral" things, such as abortion, gay marriage(wtf?), and other things under that criterea. what about the war in Iraq? what about the innocent people we're killing?
not many people can even put together the facts and figure out why Iraq hated the US so much in the first place. during the bush senior presidency, there was a war called the Iran-Iraq war, which the US sponsored..... both sides. we gave weapons to Iran, and we gave weapons to Iraq, Bush senior thought that if we gave them weapons and training, they'd eventually have a stand off and kill eachother until neither of them had an army left. well, Iraq, being the smarter of the two, or maybe just being the more ruthless of the two, bought chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction after finding out that the US was giving both sides weapons and being both of their allies (yes, they actually DID have WMD's, but that was way back in the late 80's early 90's) so they used them and finally ended the war between Iraq and Iran (which has proved to have saved a lot of Iraqi and Iranian lives). but then sadly enough Iraq got carried away and the Sunni's who were politically in power used the WMD's to slaughter a group who was fighting to survive and being oppressed by the sunni's called the kurds (another sect of Islam). Basically, it was our own fault that we were paranoid of Iraq using WMD's against us. during the persian gulf war the supply of oil that we could get was running low because Iraq basically hated the US and we kept trying to get oil by force from them. eventually the 9/11 attack (which we even trained Al-Queda in the Afghani-Russian war, when Russia tried to invade Afghanistan) was a reason for george bush junior to attack Iraq, since to the average ignorant american, Iraq? Afghanistan? meh, same thing right? they're both in the middle east, they both are countries that we trained militarily. so then we had the war in Iraq which gave us an excuse to get cheap oil at the expense of thousands of american soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.
