As someone who went to church every morning before church and felt the wrath of the nuns and fortunately not the attention of a father, I now see the symbol Jesus being systematically removed from our society while we seem to be embracing islam. Fear and intimidation are radical islams weapons and they have a long range plan to take over the world. They have a strong presence in many countries and if we don't watch ourselves we will find ourselves in the same predicament as Europe. Were is the outcry and condemnation that I wait to her from the muslim community as a whole. I won't be holding my breath. Just my opinion, you are welcome to yours.
Their 'Prophet' wasn't a 100%, 24/7, 'warm/fuzzy' kind of guy,,,
And their book of their 'Prophet' is held in such high regard that to challenge anything that is written about their 'Prophet' is in direct conflict with their faith,,, (The same 'Blasphemy' that folks we're sent to the gallows over back in the Medieval/Crusade era.)
As with any Religion, interpretation and application is key,,, Better off to stand back, soak it all in, and look at 'the big picture/overall direction' than to bury your head so far up in it you can't see around you,,,
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
I was surprised to find a comment on this matter here. That proves once again that this community is great, let's keep it this way...
As a born french, asia lover, new zealand citizen, now living in canada I thought I'd share a bit. shortly though...
We hear every day about massacre around the world, these massacres only resonates when you feel concerned... I grew up in the Charlie Hebdo generation with their sense of humor, disrespect but most importantly their freedom of expression... I feel so sad that guys like Wolinsky Cabus end their lives like this...
It's about time for the highest ranking officials of Islam to send a clear message to everyone which should be relayed in any mosque, Islam isn't terrorism! otherwise soon ... any jobless kid unhappy with his life, having no future or passion whatsoever will turn to this new found way of life: anger. That is so easy to promote by Djihad's recruiters... if the message isn't relayed strongly, soon the confusion will increase and people will soon think that terrorism=islam=arabic ...
I understand how easy it can be to become upset with any government... terrorism doesn't make history ! otherwise native indians should kill all americans and canadians, mexicans should kill spanishs...
What courage does it take to dress with a bullet proof jacket and kill unarmed people... ?? So to all potential Djiadists: be a man, be courageous, strong, refuse violence, study and act to make a difference in other people's life. Follow the exemple of Madiba and Gandhi, forgive and bring people together instead of using your anger to solve your directionless pathetic lives.
Not sure this is the place to express ideas here ... but for once... I did.
Take care buddies riders! Can't wait for spring, I miss the sound of my bike....
This is not about radical Islam only . The all world is messed up and global anger is growing . We live in reality , where children are killing own parents ( and vice versa ) , spouses mis-distrust turns love into mutual hate followed by dramatic events , disrespect for authorities is a norm , abuse of minorities , or ethnic cleansing is a daily fact , unjust wars destroys all cultures , political hypocrisy became "the law" , power of few serves them for the mega profit only and inequality of wealth distribution ( usually national treasuries ) diminish morality for the rest . Values of ethics disappear forever. I'm always trying to find the cause of all of it and ask the question : "Who Start the Fire" and "Are We really so Human" ( as we claim for Superiority Purpose ) ... and what is that anyway ?
Brainwashing....it is seen through out history. The crusades, Hitler, etc. Once the powers to be get a large segment of the population to buy into their BS bad things can happen.
It is truly a sad event.
Religious freedom should only be allowed where it does not forcibly impact the freedom of others.
