Watching some weird shit on National Geographic this morning about some religious wackos in the Muslim world.
These Sharia courts are out of fucking control. I know our 'justice system' in the U.S. is bullshit for the most part, but damn, these Sharia bitches are even worse!
If a guy is supposed to be a virgin before he marries, how the fuck could he know he was infertile?? The grand ayatollah, however, argues that this guy was deceptive and therefore the wife should be able to annul the marriage. I have no problem with the girl getting a divorce, but it's crap to say that the guy was deliberately deceptive.
Fucking Muslims. You idiots and Christians deserve one another.
Leave me the Buddhists and the Jews.

These guys don't have sectarian nonsense going on!? Fark religion. Period.

Religion = farcical joke which doesn't belong in the 21st century.
-
I was born a muslim but I can't handle them. The same for christians, at least catholics, biggotry is strong with them also. There's a very thin line between faith and stupidity.

Yo Tre? You have a HP computer? Computers keeping a brother down. >:(
-
The Jews! Oh yeah, they're peaceful people ::) Some of the worst kind in the world.
-
yeah these religious jews are fucking idiots as well.
-
that court ruling sounds reasonable enough (not that it really has anything to do Sunni v Shiite, unless that was the case name . . .)
seems like you're reaching for something to slam, Tre
-
Shiites like to torture Sunnis to death.
Sunnis like to blow themselves up and take as many men, women and children with them as possible.
These are the subtle fractions in the religion of peace.
-
Catholics vs Lutheran in northern Ireland .. why?
It religion which mostly blinds people.
-
Religous problems can be solved easily; just do the following
-
In Sharia courts, womens' testimony is 1/2 that of a man's. Men are allowed up to 4 wives. For a man to be convicted of rape, 6 other eye-witness men have to testify against him.LOL...This culture is 1000's of years behind.

One's conscience should apply. Even wild animals inherently know the diff btwn basic right and wrong. This culture chooses to live centuries in the past. It's causing a lot of troubles all over the world. Have'nt you noticed?

yeah these religious jews are fucking idiots as well.

Not only do you have to be Muslim in order to avoid having your head cut off but you also have to be a certain type of Muslim. Hilarious.
Then again, these are the same people who think that a group of "hetero" men gang raping a homosexual man is adequate punishment for being homosexual.

Hmm I see, so let me get this straight, only Muslims believe in backwards things? So the Christian Idea of Jesus coming down and lifting the true believers to heaven in a rapture and then waging a 7 year war against Satan's son is a very progressive idea ::)
Or did you forget that the Mormans believe in some pretty backwards things as well.
Point is all religion is fucked.
-
there is nothing wrong with religion, only the people who claim to follow them yet ignore any teachings that conflict with their lifestyles

HAHA!
Now, where did you get this from ?
-
Tre- with all do respect, how can you catagorize these animals with Christians?
I know that it's en vouge to not single out certain religions for their misdeeds, and it's easy to make blanket statements, but nothing on planet earth today comes remotely close to the mindless savagery of the so called muslim "religion".
I have never heard of a Christian suicide bomber in my lifetime. Christians do not abide by honor killings. Christians do not engage in female circumsiscion. Christians do not openly call for the extermination of other religions. Christians do not kidnap people and cut their heads off. And so forth and so on.
Also, do you find it a coincidence that every single religion on earth without exception cannot live peacefully with muslims and that every reigion on earth with a sizable muslim population is at "war" with Islam? India, Russia, Israel, America, Europe, Spain, England, the whole African continent, China and on and on has a constant threat of muslim terrorism. Last I checked, governments across the globe don't raise the terror threat level when the Pope issues a statement from the Vatican.
Now, please do not take the bait and begin your next statement with some obtuse comparison of Christianity to the Nazi's ( Utter and complete nonsense for anyone that isn't lazy or brain dead, pick up a book, do a google search or watch the history channel), or some ill concieved reference to bad things Christians did centuries ago ( it's 2009).
Also, why do jews get a pass in your book? Christians and jews are inevitably locked together as mortal enemies of the "religion" of peace.

Relax and Get Buff?
Ever wonder about what meditation is all about? Ever wonder what it can do for you but didn’t know who to ask? Me too.
After posting a blog entry regarding my personal forays into meditation, I was stunned to instantly receive over 30 private messages. It seems that many T-Nation readers are as interested in this stuff as I am. But I'm no expert. Unlike my usual position of authority when I write on sports nutrition topics, I'm going to preface this article by saying that I'm a meditative intermediate at best.
So, rather than act like a psychologist or Buddhist monk, I’m going to focus on the areas of behavior modification in which I'm actually trained (nutrition and fitness) while simply offering a number of personal observations that you might find helpful. "Helpful in what way?" you may ask. Good question.
You should first decide why you're even looking into meditation, because it takes time and practice. Aside from the pursuit of an abstract goal like "enlightenment," there appear to be real benefits to be had, especially for Type A driven individuals, worriers, sleep-deprived persons, evening overeaters, and even hyped-up guys who frequently go off in the gym. (At times I'm all of the above!) Here are some potential rewards of daily practice:
1. Lowered risk of overtraining (8)
2. Reduced stress hormone concentrations like cortisol and aldosterone (5, 7, 12, 15, 16, 22)
3. Higher DHEA-Sulfate as well as increased Testosterone and growth hormone response to stress (3, 12, 22)
4. Improved kidney function, lower sodium-potassium ratio and reduced urinary loss of calcium and zinc (22)
5. Remarkable success getting off drugs, even after being dependent (13)
6. Enhanced immune function (7, 16)
7. A shift toward fat oxidation ("fat burning") (6, 9)
8. Improved focus and sports performance (11)
9. Enhanced reaction time (19)
10. Improved carbohydrate metabolism (data is mixed, however) (1)
11. Reduced evening-time overeating (15) and better chance for long term weight loss (4)
12. Slowed biological aging (according to biomarkers) up to 5-12 years (21)
13. Improved antioxidant effects indicated by 15% lower lipid peroxides (18)
14. Ability to levitate and snatch flies with chopsticks

Beliefs aren't the issue-- it's the practices. I could care less if a religion believed that God was a Unicorn and that heaven was made out of ice cream; Being backward stems from what the followers of the religion do.
Your example with Christianity is completely inappropriate to apply in this situation. However, while we are discussing beliefs I dont believe that Christians and Mormons believe that killing non believers while killing yourself grants you 72 virgins.

And what a noble religion it is ::)
Kill yourself, and some innocent people....and you get to fuck little girls for all eternity...what a high-minded concept....really ::) ::)

Again people blame Islam for suicide bombings when the teachings condemn and puts them in the category of murderers. No one seems to understand that those suicide bombers are doing this under their own principles. Arabs do/did crazy things since the beginning of time, in fact, Islam is the religion which tamed them to become a 1 Billion nation with a couple of hundred exceptions.
And again, what I say won't matter as long as people insist to believe in generalizing, and never put the effort to read or inspect what is really going on.

Are you being serious?
-
LOL that post doesn't even warrant a response but I will any way because its hysterical---
A couple of hundred exceptions?
And tamed them into a nation of 1 billion? Tamed them? ::)
Your post is evidence in itself that Islam is a horror show of a religion.
-
Fark religion. Period.
:o :o :o
-
::)
Care to tell me how many suicide bombers there was? Are you saying they're in millions or am i just so far away from the truth. You do realize that a very large number will result in the human population to go down drastically.
Do you know that people do things based on their own way of thinking. Taliban scream Allahu-Akbar all day and harvest cocaine in the night. Cocaine dealers are beheaded in Islam?!.... Some people do whacky things and just happen to be Muslim. Two entirely different things.
Terrorists are hunted and killed on sight, at the strictest Islamic-wahhaby nation on earth (Saudi Arabia). How does that make sense to you?
I see the hundred thing hurt your feelings? If you are smart enough to understand the fact that what the terrorist are doing can not be linked to Islam by any way or manner, then you'd realize that that number goes down to ZERO. How's that?

most of the US troops are christians and they killed millions of innocent koreans, vietnamese, afghanistanis, iraqis and more!!..
can i use your words and say in a mocking tone what a noble religion? ::).. of course not because i know well that beside those heartless killers there are a lot of great christians!!..
PS: for nasser you are "gronk who??".. ;D

Do you really believe that a sky god gave his instructions to a man in a cave 1400 years ago and that civilization should be based upon this? In your heart of hearts, and in your moments most alone, do you really believe this is what happened?
Or are you just responding to the pressure of those around you?
-
,,,,
Fucking Muslims. You idiots and Christians deserve one another.
Leave me the Buddhists and the Jews.
Be careful what you wish for

believe it or not i believe in ALLAH 100% with a ZERO doubt.. you may see me stupid but i dont think this is a reason to hate me as long as i am good and respectful with you!..

To our enlightened members of the "religion" of peace-- I ask this
If as you claim, there are "hundreds" of radical Muslims only -- Can you explain the world wide rioting and blood shed when a News Paper in Denmark showed an image of Mohammad?
Were a few hundred people flying across the western hemisphere blowing shit up and rioting?
Say whatever you want about other religions-- There is no other religion on earth today that is more violent, primitive or resistant to progress than Islam.
-
there is no moderate muslim movement to speak of.

this tells you that most of muslims love their relegion and dont accept to see it attacked or mocked!!.. dont hurt my feelings then ask why i show you hatred!!.. yes if you and i were in the same place and you said shit about my religion i am sure you would not like my reaction!!..

There may be unhapiness, but there won't be nearly the violence.
When Van Gogh made a film depicting the brutal treatment of women under Islam, he was stabbed and shot. A knife was stuck in his chest with a note threatening a woman working with him.
Listen, these are just facts.
How many Christians and Jews and Buddhists make videos of cutting people's heads off? How many are car bombers? How many wear suicide vests into crowded markets full of women?
We are watching the actions of Islam and we know. You can dress it up all you want, we have seen and we know.

van gogh showed words of quran on naked bodies which is very insulting.. why didnt he say his idea in a more respectful way??.. for every action there is a reaction..
how many christians killed millions of innocent vietnamis and iraqis??.. how many jews killed millions of palastenians children??..
how many christians converted to islam and how many muslims converted to christianity??.. why do you think thousands of ppl (may be millions) convert to islam every year?..

So what if it's insulting?
If someone insults you, do you have the right to murder them, or better yet, innocent people as a result?
People have the right to express their opinions and should be able to do so without the fear of being butchered.
Only in barbaric, backward societies is this kind of criminality tolerated.
Christians and Jews are mocked, demonzied, and humiliated on a daily basis-- The media, politicians, hollywood, etc. have been doing this for years. What is the reaction-- anger of course, but no innocent people are murdered as a result.
It's almost as if muslims as a group are less than human-- Ignorant, immature children incapable of taking criticism or insults without resorting to mindless violent behavior.
The rest of the world seems able to control themselves. I hate to break the news to you-- You are not special. You have to follow the rules and take the bad with the good like everyone else.
And PS-- Just to show how moronic muslims across the globe are, if I am not mistaken ONLY MUSLIMS cannot show an image of Muhammhad. Therefore, the rioting over the cartoons in Denmark was not only inappropriate, but totally WRONG from a religious point of view.

i am not saying i agree with the guy who killed van gogh but i understand why he did so!!..
great you didnt comment with a single word about christains and jews who killed millions of innocent ppl around the world for no good reason ::)

I was raised in a muslim household, and for the longest time I really practiced the religion, regular prayers, fasting during ramadan, attending mosque, etc.
But my views about islam (and all organized religions in general) has really changed in the last 3 years. The more and more I read, the more contradicting and fucked up shit seemed, so I stopped practicing everything all together, and really just don't believe in it anymore. I'm not so sure if I even believe god really exists or not,
and to be honest ever since I stopped practicing I feel SOOO MUCH BETTER about myself and my life, and I believe I'm actually a BETTER person since I've stopped, (less judgemental, etc)
So many wars, fights, arguments, battles, have been caused by religion, even by the same religions such as islam with the Sunnis VS Shiite, - it all just doesn't seem right, and I'm very glad I don't associate myself with it anymore. Maybe I'm still a muslim by tradition, and the way I was raised, but it stops there and I just don't believe in it anymore!

all religions are paths to God - some are just more direct than others
I am a proud Catholic and everyday my faith challenges me to be a better person

Thats an interesting quote, never heard it before :)
I'm glad you are happy with your faith and what it brings into your life, to each his own. Some people will say this is the faith to go with, or that is, or none at all, but I truly believe what makes you the best person you can be is whats right for you. As long as you lead a long and fullfilling life, thats all that matters!

So if people pass on naked cartoons of your family doing indecent actions that would be considered "ok" if they don't know how your family looks like? You'd say bring it on folks, you have no idea how they look like? Afterall, it's moronic to think otherwise??
And when Muslims respect and consider Jesus as a prophet, and have never said anything that would be considered an insult for 1400 years. Same goes for every other religion. Why would anyone even think of insulting the prophet and the number one symbol of the Islamic nation. People know what the reaction would be, a newspaper cartoonist becomes famous and well known. Great!
Freedom of speech?? You must be a genius if you believe it exists. Holocaust "cough".

but bro. if there is no religion what is the source to tell you this thing is right or wrong!!.. this source cant be yourself, you cant be your own judge, right?.. we are not the same so what your see right may be wrong according to others.. if there is no religion what is the problem to do all bad things to achieve your goals, to lie, to steal or even to kill!!.. you may cheat on your wife and see it ok and just a moment for change!..
sure a good man knows what is right and what is wrong without religion but unfortunately we are not all good ;)

Sherif I personally do not believe that one needs religion to know what right or wrong is. It doesn't take religion to explain that, right or wrong is a matter of human interactions between one person and another, its dependent on rules, reactions, and interctions. Plus there are somethings in the religion (and other religions) that is wrong in some cultures!
