Thunderf00t: BURN MUHAMMAD BURN!!!!

From YT:It's a ritual whenever the Islamic world has a grudge that they get out a flag and burn it.

They do this intentionally to cause offense. As a protest.

Well that can cut both ways... if they expect carte blanche to cause as much offense as possible by burning flags, do they really have a leg to stand on in complaining about a Muhammad burning protest?

I'm really sick of this guy. I have no problem with 'Draw Muhammad Day,' or even burning an image of Muhammad. It's all free speech, just like flag burning. However I hate the way he insults ALL Muslims. And let there be no doubt, he is insulting ALL Muslims when he says that they're too stupid to even start a fire. He's just as guilty of promoting hate and ignorance of an entire group of people (Muslims) as al Qaeda or the Taliban is of promoting hate of an entire group of people (America, or the entire 'West').

Free speech is great, and I defend thunderf00t's right to make these statements. But people who employ tactics like him just make the world worse. Promoting hatred and ignorance aren't things to be celebrated.

I do agree indeed with what you say, the petty pissing back is hardly the right way to treat this whole thing, and absolutely lumping everyone who is Muslim into the same dirty little basket is wrong.

However, there is also something to be said for making your enemies a laughing stock for reducing the fear they can inflict. Once you're laughing at your enemy they seem a lot less threatening.

MilkmanDansays...

I tend to think his "so stupid they can't even light a fire" was directed more specifically at the flag-burners themselves, and less at Muslims in general. He referred to the group as an "angry Islamic mob"; presumably he would take less issue with a "peaceful Islamic mob", or a "collection of average Muslims". "Maybe the Koran would burn better" could be offensive to Muslims in general, but I would assume particularly so to the flag-burning extremists.

kronosposeidonsays...

At 0:31 he says, "Although many* Muslims struggle, I mean really struggle with this new-fangled technology of making fire." It doesn't sound like he's differentiating between flag-burning Muslims and the rest of them. He's casting a blanket assertion that most Muslims are so retarded that they can't even make fire.

But it's more than just that. He's constantly sarcastically labeling Islam as the "religion of peace." And you know what? It ain't a religion of peace. (GASP!) But neither is Christianity. Nor Judaism. Nor Hinduism. Nor even freaking Buddhism, if you can believe that. They all have lovey-dovey peacey-huggy teachings, but they also aren't afraid to pick up the sword whenever they deem it necessary for whatever god-awful reason. So why is he singling out Islam? Because he's a bigot? Yes, most definitely.

And that's why I'm sick of this guy. Fuck him. He's the West's counterpart to Ahmadinejad or bin Laden. Put them in Thunderdome. Except let no one come out.

Maybe you should watch his other videos. He is singling out Islam lately because of the Southpark vs Islam thing but historically he has been a lot more anti-religion in general and more specifically anti-fundamentalist Christian.

Maybe hold back on those attacks until you've done some research.

But people who employ tactics like him just make the world worse.

Why are you lumping all atheists into the same.. oh nevermind. You werent. And he wasnt.

I'm so sick of this "dont use the broad brush" nonsense. He is clearly talking about those specific protesters and the muslims all over the world handing out deaththreats and getting offended left and right, and not everyone else, muslim or non-muslim.

What is he supposed to say?
"these muslims people-who-happen-to-be-muslim-but-is-completely-unrelated-to-islam-but-seems-to-care-a-hell-of-a-lot-about-it really suck at burning flags"

I think we all understand the difference between individual nutters (or small isolated fringe groups) and a symptomatic problem on the other hand. And while any idiot understands that you dont need to be a child rapist to be a catholic, or even to be a priest, we can still see that the abuse scandal in that particular case goes far beyond a few rouge priests misusing the church's trust in them.

When the followers of that church then flock in the thousands to show support for the people covering up and facilitating these crimes, you know that something is wrong, not just with a few catholics, but LOTS of catholics, and even with Catholicism itself. Again, that does not implicate every catholic in pedo-scandals, but is an honest assessment of a larger problem.

The same thing can be said of Islam and muslims. Something is deeply wrong when large groups go mental over a couple of fucking cartoons. And no, we are not talking about a small, isolated band of islamists here, we are talking about state-level paranoia and hysteria. Millions of Muslims were FURIOUS at Denmark (and other countries) over this nonsense, islamic countries and companies theatened boycotts and expressed outrage left and right and people rioted en-masse. Over a fucking cartoon. It even went so far that some of our more spineless politicians basically caved to demands of apologies to the Muslim haters who were issuing deaththreats.

Whenever Saudi-Arabia, or any other largely islamic country is ready to come out and condemn, (with strong support from their muslim population) the deathtreats, violence and intolerance (of presumably a few borderline, non-representative islamists), and explain that its perfectly within our rights to draw whoever we want, whenever we want and depict them attempting fornication with a farm animal of our choosing, I'll be right here listening.

The point kronos was trying to make which seemed to not quite land home with you - muslims aren't our enemies. SOME muslims are, not all. He's making a laughing stock of them all, and that's as bad as they are.

I agree with kronos on this one. As violent as he THINKS islam may be, christianity has done the same. Yet we have millions upon millions of people practising christianity without the violence, it's been edited out of the religion. Who is to say that's not the same way average muslims behave?

They have their nutcases who take everything literally and want to see terrible things happen and are willing to take steps to see it happen. And so do muslims.

(Do you c wot i did thar?)

Edit:
BTW bicycle dude above me - it may be obvious to YOU that he means those people, but it isn't "obvious". And you shouldn't let things like that rely on intuition, because you're trying to make a statement and reduce the ignorance.

BicycleRepairMansays...

Uh oh, whose "they" here then? all muslims? or are we just talking about the bad guys. Right. I'll let that one pass. Bad guys only. Get it. aah.. but.. wait WHAT??.. Thunderf00t is as bad as those people for failing to specify the exact group he's making fun of? he is as bad as the people who slaughtered Van Gogh in the street, who threatened others with the same fate for expressing their opinion, the people who scream "death over denmark" because a newspaper that happened to be Danish published cartoons they didnt like?, Thunderf00t is as bad as those people??!

Again I'll try with a Catholic comparison, do we all agree that atleast 95% of Catholics are NOT child-molesters? sure we do. Can we at the same time admit that child-milestation is a major problem in the institution that is the catholic church, and that it is a HUGE problem even explaining why so few Catholics see a major problem with their leader (read:appointed half-god) has facilitated in these crimes?, and why so many Catholics rush in to support him?

I implore you to be realistic here: I and Thunderf00t know full well that most Muslims are not violent maniacs, I happen to live in a neighborhood with a large Muslim population, for instance, and can easily testify that most Muslims are easygoing people who just get on with their life. However, I think there are some serious problems with the way Islam makes people think (or rather not think). And as mentioned above, we know from experience that this isn't a matter of a few angry isolated mobs burning flags. Muslims all over the world are simply at odds with the basic democratic rights of other people( both Muslims and non-Muslims.), and trying to pretend otherwise is just silly.

You banned choggie because some faggot got all butt hurt over taking some "come down out of trees" joke as meaning gays are like monkeys....

But then you allow this bullshit nonsense spurred on by ignorant Thunderf00t spreading racism and hate based on painting a billion people with one brush.


"Fuck islam. Fuck their pedoprophet."

No, fuck queers, fuck jesus lovers, fuck creationists.
How about fuck black people? How about fuck towelheads? Fuck tribal africans.
Fuck jews. We should burn them.


You same assholes would be offended if there was a video about how jews should all burn. This isn't much different.

Again with the defending of Islam by classifying it as a race. Its not a fucking race, its a fucking religion. And yeah, fuck it. And fuck Christianity and fuck judaism too. these are medieval, patriarcal, racist, sexist, inhumane and inhuman ideologies with "values" that belongs NOWHERE in the 21st century.

And yeah, the Prophet Mohammed was a kiddyfiddler. fuck kiddyfiddlers. Religion, or the number of people following it, is no excuse to leave the subject alone, infact it makes it even more important to point out how wrong childrape is, because apparently, when the rapists are devout, people seem to have trouble seeing whats wrong with it.

As Tim Minchin put it: if you protect a single kiddy fucker, then pope or prince or plumber, you're a fucking motherfucker.

spoco2says...

Yeah, no, I got that, I was just noting during the video that he was probably trying to employ the tactic of making a fool of the enemy to diffuse their power, rather than shooting back more hateful words.

And I do absolutely agree that the vid far too easily lumps all Muslims into the same basket as the nutjobs who are depicted in it, and I do disagree with that.

I disagree with the video for the most part, hence I haven't upvoted it.

But I do also disagree with organized religion as a whole anyway... although not people's right to follow whatever beliefs they chose AS LONG AS THEY DON'T HARM OR PREJUDICE OTHER BECAUSE OF THEM.

What ignorance...

You can look from a modern perspective about what is morally appropriate age of consent but you are a fucking absolute idiot if you pretend that 18 years is ok, and say 13 isn't. It all depends on historical context. You have to look at the society at the time.

Go back to Jesus's time. How old was Mary? What was age of marriage in Moses day? How about what would be ok in the US in 1910? What about in the 50s? Hate to tell you this, but for probably hundreds of millions of years, when a female reaches puberty that is when they begin to copulate.

You are fucking idiot if you think it's wrong to breed dogs that under the age of 5 but somehow humans are so different. It's all cultural morals and depends on the society. Do you know what was "normal" in the 700s before you start throwing around kiddie fucker.

You do realize your own great great grandfather was probably also a kiddie fucker, ever think about that?

Ignorance? Historical context? You're kidding right? Shariah permits child brides. Shariah is followed today. Prepubescent children are being married off right now.
If you really think this is ok because it was culturally acceptable historically speaking, then you sir, are full of shit.

BicycleRepairMansays...

Aisha was 7 when Mohammed "married" her, and 9 when he first raped her. I'm sure it was , like slavery, deemed more acceptable at the time it was done, so in this respect I should probably allow for the fact that Mohammed was like everyone in his own time a victim of the prevailing ignorance at the time.

The important point about Mohammed, however, isnt that he married children. After all, he's long dead, and the child is long dead. too late for apologies or restitution or penalties. The point about it is that Mohammed is presented as a role model for todays society and forever into the future. His words are read as if they were Gods word, and his actions are deemed worthy of gods.

This is why just about anything Mohammed ever did (like marrying 7-year olds) is common practice to this day, which is why blasphemy is such a blessed thing. its all about dragging these over-glorified, patriarchal, totalitarian assholes down to our level and telling it like it is: they dont know shit better than any of us, and following their examples will hold the world back. We need to strive to become better, to evolve our society and our morality anddo the very best we can to improve the world. You wouldnt send your broken iPhone back to the 7th century for repairs, so don't do it with your morality either.

Unaccommodatedsays...

Wrong, this is the youngest in WORLD HISTORY where girls are reaching menarche. It has to do with the amount of food a girl consistently gets. Often hunter-gather women even after they hit puberty will be sub-fecund, can't get pregnant, until 18, 19 or 20 years old. Your position is completely wrong. It wouldn't serve a purpose, even then, to marry a girl so young, except that she had a tight hairless vagina that would bleed. It really is as disgusting as it seems. Please stay on your high-horse, don't let biology get in the way.
