Re: Watch and learn... said by jc100:Funny... We pretend to Separate church and state but somehow we FAIL.. There is a big difference between having a phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance, and having a separate legal system that has precedence over all other courts and laws. Malaysia is governed by (Islamic) Sharia Law, which among other things can sentence a person to death for the simple act of converting from Islam to another religion. No ruling, not even that of the federal court, can supercede what some whacko Mullah proclaims.
Sharia law is some truly frightening stuff, I suggest everyone educate themselves on it so we (all) can better understand the mindset of Islamic fascists.

| Our government sentences people to death on a daily basis too. What's your point? Murder is Murder whether it's for religious grounds or legal grounds. Better yet, our government is creating watch lists of people based on their name, the FBI just said its going to compile a DB of all American's so it can profile people, and we have places that lock folks up indefinitely (Guantanamo). How for one minute is what we're doing any less worse than what they're doing. Seems to me, we're guilty of the stuff, but since we're the US it's ok. Hell, some states have tried giving people the death penalty, btw, for stuff outside of murder (drugs, child molestation, etc). The supreme court has said that's not legal but states are still trying. Best yet, religion here is dictating that people of Muslims names are getting discriminated against. Religious freedom my ass. Nice try though. | | |

New York, NY | said by jc100:Our government sentences people to death on a daily basis too. What's your point? Murder is Murder whether it's for religious grounds or legal grounds. HA! Thats laughable at best, and a nice try to deflect what we are really discussing here. Regardless of how you (anyone) feels about the death penalty, no intelligent person can say that executing a child rapist and murderer is the same thing as executing someone who simply wants to change religions (or God forbid renounce it altogether!  ).
said by jc100:Better yet, our government is creating watch lists of people based on their name Collecting data about citizens, especially those suspected of a crime, is standard practice in every country on the planet.
said by jc100:The FBI just said its going to compile a DB of all American's so it can profile people A census? Social Security? I am sure we would all love to hear about this extensive database being collected on every citizen in the country, please feel free to provide a (reputable) link!
said by jc100:we have places that lock folks up indefinitely (Guantanamo). Yep, most nations call them prisons. The difference is that we openly declare we hold illegal foreign fighters (in country club conditions), who are treated better than our regular inmate population!
said by jc100:How for one minute is what we're doing any less worse than what they're doing. Lets see, to begin we dont execute people for their choice of religion. We dont relegate women to the status of slaves or livestock, and we have a proper judicial system. People in this country are free to do, say, or wear whatever they please without fear of disappearing or worse.
said by jc100:Seems to me, we're guilty of the stuff, but since we're the US it's ok. Thats not a vague comment or anything, so I am not sure how to respond.
said by jc100:Hell, some states have tried giving people the death penalty, btw, for stuff outside of murder (drugs, child molestation, etc). The supreme court has said that's not legal but states are still trying. First, tried is the key word in your argument. The amazing thing in America is that we have a judicial system that only allows the death penalty under certain circumstances. As for the death penalty for child rapists, I can assure you that most Americans fully support it for such heinous acts, especially when committed against children under the age of 12.
said by jc100:Best yet, religion here is dictating that people of Muslims names are getting discriminated against. Religious freedom my ass. Nice try though. Another humorous statement. However, let me first say that I think discrimination against any group is a terrible thing. I would also not disagree that Muslims have seen increased discrimination since 2001. Unfortunately, the reason (as we all know) that the discrimination has increased is directly due to the fact that we (all citizens of the US) were attacked, and are currently under threat of additional attack, by Muslim extremists. In reality however, only Muslims can improve how they are viewed around the world at this point in time. Where was the "Million Muslim March" to condemn terrorism after the attacks of 9/11? It might sound shocking, but if there was a worldwide network of Catholic, Buddhist, Jewish, etc. terrorists killing thousands of people there would be an uproar! The millions of peace loving devotees would unite to cast out those responsible. The terrorists would not be given refuge in ANY country, region, or area. Only by confronting the devils in their midst, will the vast majority of normal, peaceful, regular Muslims find their situation improved.

No the discussion is that people are being persecuted for their religion beliefs. It happens in the U.S. too. While not to the extent of the death penalty, we are still
A) Locking up people in Guantanamo without proof of Terrorist Connections simply based on Faith. See for example the Canadian guy that was picked up who was arrested wrongfully and kept there for years and never issued an apology. He was just let go with no mention of anything.
B) The fact that the FBI and government are racial profiling people based on faith and skin color. No fly list for example and increased security for people of Muslim faith. Funny, considering McVeigh did Oklahoma city, Anthrax Mailer, Unibomber, etc were all white and I don't recall that taking place to White people, do you?

A census? Social Security? I am sure we would all love to hear about this extensive database being collected on every citizen in the country, please feel free to provide a (reputable) link!
Creating Databases on INNOCENT people is ALSO a crime. First, we had the NSA wiretapping that monitors people's communication without court order. Ah yes, immunity was needed. No one needs immunity from anything unless they are guilty. Second, that link can be found here for the FBI building a database on every American. Conspiracy theory it is not.
"Thursday, the New York Times reported that the new FBI guidelines would allow the bureau to open up investigations without any indication of suspicious activity. Mukasey has said the guidelines are needed to facilitate the bureau's transition from a law enforcement agency to an intelligence-gathering one to combat terrorism."

So yes, there is your proof.

Nations call it VIOLATING the Geneva Convention due to torture taking place. The Supreme Court, a CONSERVATIVE ONE, has also called it a violation of due process. Bush CANNOT hold people indefinitely without giving them trials. Shame military trials right now, but trials. Unfortunately, the trials they are getting they can't hear evidence against them. Then again, Americans like Padilla were ALSO held in violation of their AMEIRCAN RIGHT to court access. Yes, AMericans were there too, NOT just foreigners.

Already answered. We persecute people and discriminate based upon religious beliefs. Up until Sexual Harassment suits, women were INFERIOR in the work place. Still, women earn 1/2 to 3/4th of what men do at the same jobs today. Best yet, we have work place discrimination of gay people that is not covered under anything still. O, lest we not forget the churches that relegate these people as burning in hell and promote harm to them. Sure, nothing like demeaning people based on race, sexual orientation, etc happens here.....

TRIED IS NOT THE KEY WORD. Up until the 1970s I think it was (maybe 60s), PEOPLE were put to death for Rape and ANY OTHER CRIME. The Supreme Court in a case earlier on had made clear murder was the ONLY reason (think treason might still be covered too) it could be used. Just recently, they reaffirmed their decision. Yet, states still have people sitting on death row for other crimes. Hate to burst your bubble, BUT LOTS of people who have been put to death and many more sitting on death row have been exonerated. Guess that doesn't do the person much good when they are say DEAD.

Bad behavior is bad behavior, there is not justifying that. However, you need a history lesson on the atrocities of Christianity.
A) Where is the Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Protestant Church Apology for aiding Hitler in exterminating 6 million Jews. You do know he used Clergy from MANY CHURCHES in selling the Holocaust and carrying it out, don't you? If not, go learn about it.
B) Where is the Christian Serbs Apology for Massacring 100s of thousands of Muslims in the Bosnian war and sticking them in Mass graves?
C) Where was Timothy McVeigh's apology for BLOWING UP Oklahoma city. Sure it was condemned by not by him or his family. I never saw anyone really say o they are sorry for his actions.
D) Where is INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATION of the Church that currently promotes HATRED of gays and also promoted discrimination of blacks up until the 1960s. You know, up until then, interracial marriage was a JAILABLE offense because the church / God said it was wrong. I don't recall any past apology for those actions.
E) Why did it take the US 50 years to apologize to locking up the Japanese in Internment camps where MANY died of disease etc?
Might want to reassess your world history. Muslims aren't the only TERRORISTS in this world.
Last but not least, why don't the ass hats at the NRA apologize to America. Seems guns do a wonderful job of protecting Americans being there are 16-22,000 murders in this country yearly. Yet, 9/11 saw 3000. So since 9/11 120-140,000 Americans have been Murdered by Americans. SO lets see, we TRUMP terrorism like its a daily occurrence. Strange, I can't name anyone that's been a victim of an attack. Yet, we forget crime kills much more (I can name someone that's been murdered as can most). I want an apology from Politicians for spotting terrorism and forgetting our REAL problems. | |
| Still going off on your BS about how Christians are the only bad religion.
Still without a clue as I see.
If this country were truly as bad as you claim it was, you would be hauled off and executed. Of course that happens all the time in Iran which is a MUSLIM country.
Keep trying little boy. | |

The Geneva Convention only applies to soldiers in uniform for a military of a nation. Terrorists do not have protection and neither do military personnel out of uniform.
Try again. | |
4 edits | Still trolling I see as Usual? Not surprised. You have YET to offer anything useful.
1) There's no BS rant on Religion. Christians are equally guilty of the same crimes. Get over it.
2) Might want to read the Geneva Convention before sounding like a Troll. Yes, I know, you like sounding smart. You AREN'T. #2 and #6 can Apply to the Taliban and People currently locked up at gitmo. #2 fits a lot of the bill but not all. However, #6 is the winner. Neither Afghanistan or Iraq were occupied and WE (US) invaded. Hence, without time to formalize an army, they have taken up arms. Lest we not forget, TORTURE is banned NO MATTER what by international agreements. So Nice try though... I love proving you wrong. I won't even afford you the right of calling you educated, because everything you state is NONSENSE. So yes, THEY ARE GUARANTEED RIGHTS under the law.
Note: In Afghanistan's case the Taliban were a FORMAL government and therefore their army can be recognized as a FORMAL line of defense and armed resistance by a government that has been toppled. Armed resistance to restore one's "rightful" power is legal.
quote:
A. Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy:
1. Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces.
2. Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:
(a) That of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) That of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) That of carrying arms openly;
(d) That of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
3. Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power.
4. Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof, such as civilian members of military aircraft crews, war correspondents, supply contractors, members of labour units or of services responsible for the welfare of the armed forces, provided that they have received authorization from the armed forces which they accompany, who shall provide them for that purpose with an identity card similar to the annexed model.
5. Members of crews, including masters, pilots and apprentices, of the merchant marine and the crews of civil aircraft of the Parties to the conflict, who do not benefit by more favourable treatment under any other provisions of international law.
6. Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs

They are out of uniform and, by their own admission, not under any command structure.
Might want to read this little tidbit too:
quote:
Article 51.3 of the Commentary: IV Geneva Convention also covers this interpretation: "Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.". In the words of the International Committee of the Red Cross, or ICRC "If civilians directly engage in hostilities, they are considered "unlawful" or "unprivileged" combatants or belligerents (the treaties of humanitarian law do not expressly contain these terms). They may be prosecuted under the domestic law of the detaining state for such action. Both lawful and unlawful combatants may be interned in wartime, may be interrogated and may be prosecuted for war crimes. Both are entitled to humane treatment in the hands of the enemy."
Try again little boy. | |

Civilians that engage in direct hostilities are not considered protected by the Geneva Convention which the Taliban themselves are NOT following and Afghanistan did sign the treaty. | |

You still didn't answer #6. Nice try pointing out evidence that doesn't refute anything though... The only little boy is you who tries to act smart, and can't. Six says if a territory is INVADED and the people don't have time to act, they can carry arms openly and respect to the law. They do carry their guns open and attack. Not to mention, Guerilla warfare is a LEGAL tactic used by many countries. It was used during vietnam war when we attacked them. Not to mention, the Japanese used it in WW2. Neither of which were enemy combatants. Once again, in Afghanistan's case, they were a FORMAL government that was INVADED. Therefore, without having time to set up an army to rebuke the attack, they have resorted to spontaneously taking up arms. Nice try though. Keep grasping for straws on your quest towards bigotry and xenophobia. Got a clan march after this discussion to attend? | |

You don't have to sign a treaty to be respected by it. Nice one though. We capture guerrilla forces and drug lords in South America who are not privvy to the treaty. It applies to everyone. It's an INTERNATIONAL agreement by ALL MAJOR countries on how to handle warfare. It applies to ALL REGARDLESS. A la we didn't take Vietnamese and lock them up as war criminals when they USED GUERILLA WARFARE to refute our attack on them. Nice one though. I like how you take a xenophobic tone.

Next thing out of your feeble mind would be to condone the action of terrorists. | |

Actually, they are a KNOWN army. The Taliban RAN the Afghanistan government. Therefore, they were a recognized body of governance. We toppled their power, similar to what we tried in Vietnam. Now, they are actively resisting us in the same Guerilla methods. Lest we not forget, since they were a recognized government, their army is too. Do you think the Vietnamese wore uniforms when they attacked? Nope. They hid out among the people. Reality cloud your judgment?

Feeble mind coming from a Xenophobic biggot. Yes, go on your Christian Crusade and spread your word of hate like a regular terrorist. I know, you don't consider Christians terrorist but history does. We know, God hates gays and blacks and everyone right. Amazing isn't it. Christianity has asshates like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson (who incited we murder a leader none the less). Lest we forget these morons incite violence against minorities and gays. The church Helped the Holocaust and the Church Helped keep discrimination alive during the Civil Rights era. These same churches today preach bigotry and intolerance. So Mr. Xenohphobe, you might wish to reconsider who is feeble minded.
As per proving anything, you have NOT. The Geneva Convention is an INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AGREEMENT in which the WORLD powers are subject to and all MANKIND. WE SIGNED IT. That's what matters. It has NO BEARING on whether or not Afghanistan did as we are taking prisoners, NOT THEM. DOH, I guess you forgot that one. So we MUST adhere to it, whether or not they choose to. That said, it governs everyone. Why the HELL do you think leaders like Milsoveic (Serb leader in Bosnian War) were taken to the Hague on War crimes? Serbia NEVER agreed to the Document. Yet, it's used against leaders ALL AROUND the world to get them on War Crimes. Hence, EVERYONE must abide by it, the U.S. included and especially being a signing member. Might want to google that one. I bet you'd learn a lot. Anyway, maybe you should face that word known as reality. Next up, the train to Delusional City. Passenger aboard, moonpuppy. | |

Which Church promoted racism? A lot of churches opposed race based slavery, and were leaders in the abolitionist movement.
Which Church promotes hatred of homosexuals? Most churches merely equate homosexual immorality with heterosexual immorality.
You know, up until then, interracial marriage was a JAILABLE offense because the church / God said it was wrong. I don't recall any past apology for those actions.

New York, NY | I think for everyones sake we need to stop replying to this troll. He clearly is of the belief that terrorists are "freedom fighters" and that Islamic facism is justified. I can assure you that everyone else who reads his outlandish claims finds them as ignorant and stupid as we do, so perhaps we should just let him continue on his path towards radicalization. People like him are dangerous and a cancer in our society. He should be ashamed to call himself an American.

Back to Google for you. Fetch little boy, fetch. | |
1 edit | A) The Taliban HAD A GOVERNMENT. Similar to Vietnam. it was TOPPLED like we tried to do to Vietnam. Both had FORMAL ARMIES. When you have a FORMAL GOVERNMENT the army used to defend it is recognized. SIMPLE.
B) The Vietnamese HAD NO UNIFORMS. They HID AMONG the people and fought Guerrilla Style and ALSO had no formal army towards wars end. The NVA and Army both were one towards the end. They used Guerrilla tactics and hid with the people. Still, WE DID NOT USE TORTURE and Secret Prisons against the NVA or Army, now did we.
C) You forget, that A and B don't matter. We're the ones who SIGNED the geneva convention. We're stuck abiding by it as WE SIGNED AND AGREED TO IT. Even if others countries did not. Still it's recognized for all. See my other post.
