Stupid little backwater fanatics confirming everyones prejudices that they still live in the Dark Ages (either the Afghan nutters, or the Daily Heil - your choice). Condolences to the family of Mr Hadi. - swordedge, on 05/15/2008, -6/+112Radical Islam is inhuman.
- svtspeed, on 05/15/2008, -44/+143Imagine no religion.
- socivitus, on 05/15/2008, -21/+109It has almost become a part of their culture and an outcry from one teacher will not change their mentality. You've got to love it when people kill because of statements or beliefs against their religion, God'll have to add another notch to his belt.
- blazes816, on 05/15/2008, -28/+85Thank Allah for the religion of peace.
- nblsavage, on 05/15/2008, -2/+59Terrible. Killing or advocating killing someone over political differences is stupid beyond belief.
- brjohnson789, on 05/15/2008, -8/+61Its this kind of insanity that makes people think the wars in the middle east aren't so bad.
- whathappened, on 05/15/2008, -13/+59Bombings ARE unislamic. Afghan extremists are also unislamic - they are muslim, yet unislamic. A wise man once said "if you want to learn about a religion - DO NOT look at its followers"
- FMDC, on 05/15/2008, -10/+45The one big fatal* flaw of Islam is that the Quran literally says to kill nonbelievers. Seriously, I tried reading it, but didn't even get past the first chapter because I couldn't. Just about every 3-5 lines in it say something like, "send those without faith to the fire!". Absolutely the most evil book I've ever read. I actually got farther into 180 Days of Sodom (it was less disgusting) than I got into the Quran.
- burnnation, on 07/27/2008, -11/+45Now you know why normal Muslims don't speak out more often.
- Kenzan, on 05/15/2008, -0/+33The person exemplifies the true meaning of the words "courage" and "teacher."
May his bravery be honored and remembered. - BassMastr, on 05/15/2008, -2/+34This is the definition of terrorism...bet nobody else in that town speaks up.
- ozymandias2012, on 05/15/2008, -12/+39"If God didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him." - Voltaire
- scubastza, on 05/15/2008, -5/+32_________ was shot today in Afghanistan.
Is it ever really a shocker? - inactive, on 05/15/2008, -19/+45Radical "insert religion name here" is inhuman.
Look at the torture methods of the Inquisition.
Look at some of the Mayan stuff.
Basically when religion takes over, sanity checks out. - svtspeed, on 05/15/2008, -8/+33“It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so” - Ernestine Rose
- compgeek, on 05/15/2008, -18/+42jesus these extremists are just retarded killing in the name of a God that expressly forbids killing ROFL
- 4321234, on 05/15/2008, -4/+26Actually, I would describe them as being outside of modern society.
- ozymandias2012, on 05/15/2008, -9/+30The Inquisition ended centuries ago and the Mayans are gone. Islam is growing faster than any other religion. Do you understand the concern some people have yet?
- chambana, on 05/15/2008, -4/+25No reason to show that picture of the WTC on 9/11 for this story.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+20except they kill more muslims than they do infidels.
- sb07, on 05/15/2008, -12/+30you mean radical muslims–not all muslims
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -53/+71Lol, Muslims - the most backward people in modern society.
- dunderballer, on 05/15/2008, -10/+28Those who have made anti-Islamic comments above don't seem to realize that the killing was also un-Islamic to the majority of those who practice Islam. Plenty of disgusting acts have been made in the name of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and atheism as well, but let us not be quick to let those acts define the entire group.
- SpeshulEd, on 05/15/2008, -6/+22A hypothetical state without religion doesn't have to be communist.
- Wargalas, on 05/15/2008, -2/+17Just like Digg!
- m0tbaillie, on 05/15/2008, -3/+17People who think that this type of fundamentalist ***** - this Islam that you see on TV and talked about in the people - is actually representative of Islam and Muslims as whole are just as ignorant, just a prejudice, and just as backwards as the very same fundamentalists you lament against. Time and time again I see people crying about how "average Muslims need to step up and say something about this ***** - they need to condemn it!" you think they don't? How many average Americans do we see on a daily basis shaking their heads everytime Bush gets on TV or everytime the Iraq War is mentioned on TV - it is a lot easier said than done to simply stand up and inflict change - there is plenty of outcry, you just aren't getting your news from sources that report a damn thing about it.
I am an American who grew up in Turkey - a 98% Muslim country. My mother is 100% Turkish and is also Muslim. I was in Turkey on 9/11 and I can tell you, the Turks were damn near more saddened, outraged, beguiled, and devastated by 9/11 than most Americans were from what I saw - people were crying their ***** eyes out because it was a sheer travesty. Nobody was dancing in the streets and shouting "Allahu ackbar!" where I was.
I'll say it again: if you think this kind of ***** is representative of mainstream Islam - of your average Muslim in a non-Islamic country (hint: just because the majority of a country is Muslim doesn't make it an Islamic country - google and read) then you're just as backwards, ignorant, and detrimental to the betterment of our world as these ***** are.
Digg me down all you want, but until you've lived in the Middle East first hand or have come in contact with large groups of Muslims for extended periods of time to formulate your opinion, then I highly doubt you are qualified to put forth any intelligent retort to this. - jamessavik, on 05/15/2008, -18/+32The religion of peace and tolerance strikes again.
- jemka, on 05/15/2008, -3/+17I can't believe what goes on in some of these countries. Girls being "set ablaze" for going to school? Can't we just mulch the entire country and start over again?
- soccernamlak, on 05/15/2008, -1/+15Sadly, I'm sure as humans we would find something else to bicker and kill over.
- nullx42, on 05/15/2008, -2/+15That is not far fetched. If they get all pissed about a god damn teddy bear being named after their savior then I'm open for this to be the next thing. I'm just glad radical Christians in the US are not as radical as these ***** or every Mexican named Jesus would be put do death via stoning.
- Alegoo92, on 05/15/2008, -2/+15People use things like religion as a tool for hate- if it were not to exist something would take its place.
Surely you've seen South Park? - TheXeno, on 05/15/2008, -1/+13The vocal minority, in most cases, pretty much sucks/is crazy.
- Dynamis, on 05/15/2008, -2/+13Um...I think it could be said that it's this kind of insanity yet on a much larger scale that is responsible for the wars in the Middle East.
- pauleku, on 05/15/2008, -5/+16You dont believe in what i believe - therefore, you die. Pathetic.
- Dylson, on 05/15/2008, -2/+13I buried you, then dugg you, then buried you again. Thats how little I think of you.
- mfc5200, on 05/15/2008, -2/+12So then how did religion come about?
- juniorb, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10"He spoke at a gathering of about 700 people, including the Kunduz governor."
Read the article first to sound like you know what you're talking about. And it IS a teacher's job to open students' eyes to reality. That's EXACTLY what a teacher is for. - twiztidsinz, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10So you had two accounts before?
Isn't that just kinda... lame? - teh_techie, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10147 and counting... still not on the front page. You fail in your prediction.
- crunshii, on 05/15/2008, -3/+12Funny thing is, the truth is they are killing in the name of them self and selfishness. Not in a make believe God or religion.
Someone should send them a DVD of The Crucible. - inactive, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10Sorry I've READ the Quran and its hard to follow because it's chronologically out of order!
But aside from that, yes there is instructions to kill unbelievers, and that unbelievers will suffer this and that throughout the book. Don't trust unbelievers, don't do business with unbelievers, don't trust those that trust unbelievers!
And for FMDC - the big difference between the Quran and Bible is that the Quran is direct instruction.
The bible is more a record of events to learn from! So while a prominent figure in the bible tells people to go kill the other side in a war, that is NOT direct instruction to go kill everyone.
In the Quran, it's direct instruction from Mohammad to do this, and do that. - hayzeus, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10Beware -- you're being UnDigg-lamic. We're watching you.
- dinobot, on 05/15/2008, -5/+13They as in the 3-5% of believers that are fanatics/fundamentalists that end up giving the good people a bad name.
- kinerry, on 05/15/2008, -7/+15except for the fact that mohammad cut the head off of dozens and dozens of non-muslims
- OralCavity, on 05/16/2008, -0/+8If you want to discount their entire contribution of art and music then you can thank the middle east for:
nearly all spices.
nearly all western literature from the greeks (it was preserved in middle eastern libraries during the dark ages) - dinobot, on 05/15/2008, -8/+15Makes me wonder if they're doing it on purpose to perpetuate the perception the world has about Islam.
- SwiftKick34, on 05/15/2008, -5/+12"This makes me want to kill all arabs and drink blood out of their skulls."
I'm going go out on a limb and say that you aren't a liberal. - hamobu, on 05/15/2008, -3/+10Any time any of the Billion of Muslims does something bad, it will make a front page on digg. And for some odd reason there is also a picture from 9/11. Some other articles from the same news site:
Israel at 60: It's hard to speak of celebration while so much blood is still being spilt
Iran's plan for bomb revenge on Israel
Which of these is the greater threat to Israel? -
