ALRIGHT, DAMMIT

I have kept myself reasonably quiet about this, but no more. I try not to post about politics and controversial crap because it brings up a sh*tstorm of emotion in me, but I have hit a wall

Oh, man... honey, who sent you that ultra-Conservative shite? It's scary what goes around out there on the Internet. *hugs*

(And ol' Mel... well, he fell off the edge of the edge of the map a long time ago...)

a friend who was upset about the lying but didn't agree with the Muslim-bashing angle sent it me - and yeah maybe he did, but The Passion of the Christ was a load of bollocks that still pisses me off to this day

I haven't seen that film, so I don't feel qualified to comment. Mind, I don't want to see it. Kinda like not wanting to read The DaVinci Code.

I can understand now why your friend sent the email to you. But it's still fricking scary what's out there, what people can just make up and what people will accept as truth. *shakes head*

As for the Spanish Inquisition, well... no one expects the Spanish Inquisition... ;-)

[syldath]

*I* didn't want to see it either, and was, in fact, tricked into it after already being emotionally pummelled by "Man On Fire"

and as for you...the Spanish Inquisition quote = WIN

People are just stupid and frigthened of what they don't understand. Islam is a beautiful religion and people distort it to meet their goals.

thanks...and it's not just Islam I am defending here, really...it's ALL religions that can be inexplicably and transcendently beautiful when not twisted to fit someone's agenda

AMEN.

Stuff like this just makes me see red.

And I'm sure this is part of the reason that Obama already has Secret Service protection. Black AND with Muslim heritage? Paint a target on his back right now.

So-called "religious" people who use another's religion (or even religious heritage) to demonize them have no right to claim to be people of God. Not a God that I would believe in anyway.

AMEN
