People Afraid to Criticize Islam

Islam is unlike any other religion in that it will KILL you if you criticize it, or any aspect of it. They want to kill you if you so much as MENTION their prophet, Mohammed, or publish his picture (without even accompanying words). That’s a good way to keep the criticism down, but it’s not perfect. For instance, I’m old enough I don’t giver a damn about that and I resent being told what I can, and cannot say, by ANYBODY. And it doesn’t consider others who feel the same way I do. As one former Surgeon General once said, “We all gotta die of somethin’ ” I’m not going to be around much longer anyway. So who cares? (Austin Cline)

"I’m not going to be around much longer anyway. So who cares?"

Why do you say this? Are you critically ill? Or are you just saying this because you think you are old?

I'm 73 and I have heart problems. I can barely walk. Does that answer your question? I see disaster coming and I want no part of it.

I'm sorry to hear that. 73 is not that old so I am sorry you have such health issues and hope you are getting adequate care. Do you have children helping you?

There does seem to be a lot of disaster headed our way, especially if obama gets re-elected. I don't think I can bear that. That would be the end of this country.

And did you see what the extremist dork-wads are doing? (See below.)

Mali Islamists destroy tombs at famous Timbuktu mosque
BAMAKO | Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:09am EDT
(Reuters) - Islamist militants destroyed two tombs on Tuesday at the famous 14th century Djingareyber mosque in Timbuktu, classified by UNESCO as a world heritage site, residents said.
About a dozen militants arrived in an armored four-wheel drive truck, armed with pickaxes and hoes. They fired in the air to intimidate people and started smashing the tombs, said Ibrahim Cisse, who witnessed the scene.

"They blocked the two main roads leading to the mausoleums. When they saw people gathering for a ceremony nearby, they began firing shots in the air," said another resident, Mahamad ould Ibrahim.
The new destruction comes after attacks last week on other historic and religious landmarks in Timbuktu that UNESCO called "wanton destruction".

Islamists of the Ansar Dine group say the centuries-old shrines of the local Sufi version of Islam are idolatrous.

Ansar Dine and well-armed allies, including al Qaeda splinter group MUJWA, have hijacked a separatist uprising by local Tuareg MNLA rebels and now control two-thirds of Mali's desert north, territory that includes the regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.

They have destroyed at least eight of 16 listed mausoleums in the city, together with a number of tombs and a sacred door at Sidi Yahya mosque, in their campaign to erase traces of what they regard as un-Islamic idolatry.

According to UNESCO, Djingareyber, together with the Sankore and Sidi Yahia mosques, are known as the three great mosques of the city. Djingareyber was built by the sultan Kankan Moussa after his return in 1325 from a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Ignorant dork-wads!

Anon: I've already had one quadruple bypass and if I ever need another, I probably won't get it because Obama's "death panels" will say I;m too old for it to be "economically feasible." (As if they cared about that) No, no children helping. They don't have any money to help so I have to depend on that insipid Social Security I paid into at the point of a gun for many years.

Well that sucks! Can't your children at least help you with things like grocery shopping, picking up meds, cleaning the house, laundry, etc? Children should help their parents. Yeah, I hear you on the death panels. Dems scoff at that, but wait until they are the ones for whom the government decides treating them is "economically UNfeasible". Too late then. And don't get me started on Social Security. We are forced to pay into it all of our lives and when we get there we cannot even live on it.

Anon" Not as long as I'm able to do it. Yes, money is short. But it always has been. I'm still able to get around, if slowly. But that's my choice.

I can understand wanting to retain your independence. Hang in there.
