I find Islamic site offensive. I find Islam offensive. Fuck off, true believers.

It seemed to me that it might be an idea to check out the source of this story, which turns out to be The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Wiki's entry on MEMRI begins with a long and garbled discussion of its alleged bias. There are also a number of complaints about the quality of its translations. According to UK paper the Guardian, MEMRI's website has recently deleted the announcement that MEMRI emphasises "the continuing relevance of Zionism to the Jewish people and to the state of Israel". I do recommend you read the full Guardian article at the link provided. It's most revealing.

Further along the Guardian reveals that a number of MEMRI's Directors have had enduring links with Israeli Intelligence. For example the President of MEMRI, a Mr Carmon:
"Mr - or rather, Colonel - Carmon spent 22 years in Israeli military intelligence and later served as counter-terrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin."

So it does seem reasonable to query whether the unidentified "Islamic web site" MEMRI quotes as its original source for the story in fact exists.

And it does seem reasonable to suggest that people seek some independent confirmation before accepting the accuracy of MEMRI's "translations". It might just be a legitimate translation service. It does have many of the signs one would normally associate with a black propaganda operation. And its objectivity and impartiality is certainly open to question.

I didn't read it because it loaded too slow, fuckum anyway. And HK fuck your beloved Jews too. These Islamics are no better or worse than them with their ADL and JDL and shit. The common Semite is not the problem, I bet Saheed is saying "So what", but the "leaders" take it to the pollitical. They get up in arms about burning a book, and the ADL WANTS to burn books here.

MUTHERFUCK everyone like them and the horses they rode in on. Love your Jews and hate your Moslems. You are then an Anti-Semite, because they are the most closely related people on this planet and you know what ? My racist ass detects something. They are all about image. You burn our book, you do this, you do that, we get pissed off. Salmon Rushdie, a death warrant worldwiide ? And then there are the other things commited by their brothers, like intentionally sinking our USS Liberty. These people consider themselves separate. That was not my fucking decision. They think they are better than the rest of us. Jews and Moslems alike, that is the same trait, among brothers who CLAIM to be emenies.

I bet if we went in there and stomped their fuckin asses they would get together against us. Wanna bet ? They would find a way, there is a passage in the Talmud and the Koran probably that takes care of the problem right away. The deadliest brother enemies can be bosom buddies if the time is right.

Anti Semite, me ? Yup, but only the ones that piss me off. Fuck them and their stupid books. Fuck their oil too, fuck it all.

See you in Idaho, Lon Horiuchi is invited as well.

why dont you get out all your hate on muslims by opening your own site and let everyone know just how ugly you can be too?
I really do not want to be tainted as "like you" because Im living in canada  and for sure not  all canadians agree with you.
But you dont see that do you
the last site that complained about something was run by a 12 year old boy
whats your excuse
Take your hate elsewhere

"Take your hate elsewhere "

NO, bring it on. We can't bury our heads in the sand forever. Derision is death. We need to get this out in the open. I will explain my point, let others. Maybe they have not given up hate. I get pissed off but I don't hate, there is a difference. Bring it on, and don't flame when they do. Let's hear what EVERYONE has to say unless it is totally well, you know. .....

Bring it on.

That story was dated October 2006, why bring it up now?

That Apple Store has been there without controversy since then.

I wonder if the Egyptians are offended by the glass pyramid outside the Louvre in Paris...

I do hope this website has a bit more credibility than your previous offering. Have you done anything to confirm its credibility or credentials?

After your last effort, it would seem prudent for you to do so. I'm sure you wouldn't like to embarrass yourself so thoroughly again. OTOH, people who really hate don't really care too much about little details like checking the source or being sceptical do they? They tend to swallow whatever ridiculous recycled gibberish they're offered and then repeat it verbatim. Just like you did above.

So please persuade us you aren't motivated by hate - one way to begin to do that would be to outline the steps you have taken to establish the credentials of this site.

"Other things that offends them... WFT!!!!! "

How did they find out about these things ?

What pisses "us" off about them ?

How did WE find out about it ?

They got something we want.

You wanna argue about FGM ? What about other countries that practice it and don't seem to be getting bombed. Get off the horse, it is not high enough. Our morality has no buisiness there just like their's has no business here. All we want is the oil, and a couple of strategic bases to fulfill our role as the world's policemen. Why not be like Cuba and put up with it, but other than that fuck you ? Then buying the oil, what do we care as long as we get the oil.

When we couldn't get butter we used lard. They crank the price up too high, fuck you - starve. People said "Well if a barrell of oil costs that much then a bushel of wheat costs that much". Simplistic, but at one time the whole problem could've been dealt with that way, without trillions of dollars going down the fucking drain.

But, as John Belushi said "But NOOOOOOOOOOO". No, we couldn't do that.

I'll bitch about all of them, and rightly so, but I must admit that the actions of our "leaders" have been just as stupid and detrimental. Perhaps more because of our military might. Anyone want to take a poll, per capita in the entire world as to who is pissed off at the US ? I bet the numbers would surprise you. Over half of the people on this planet wish we would contract some strange disease or be lofted off to the heavens by some aliens or WHOEVER was willing to take us. Nobody is willing to take us.

You don't even want to know what I heard. at work. I heard that Moslems/Arabs or whatever, when they wipe their ass they don't put the TP in the toilet, they put it in the wastebasket and it stanks like hell. Should I fucking believe that ?

First of all, what if it was made up ? OK, who made it up ? Obviously someone who percieves them as an enemy. Underhanded and dirty, but how did they get that way ?

Now what if it is true ? Perhaps their bathrooms are outdoors and their sewer system can't handle the paper because we bombed the fuck out of their ifrastructure.

But see you don't care and don't even pretend to with me. They are the current enemy, and even though CM doesn't take well to derogatory Moslem or Arab jokes, alot of sites do. You can't tell a N_____ joke, or certain other jokes, but the Moslems are fair game in most of the US. Why ?

Conditioning. You have been conditioned to choose your enemies in alignment with those who present you your education and environment, as well as your "news" when you think you have grown up.

I say fuck this whole game. If something is offensive in Bumfukeria, they should just ban it. Like we ban videos of little kids getting raped and killed, or horses being ground up for dogfood. It is offensive, ban it. Why is there an Apple store in "where now ? ", why did they allow it. It is the devil to them. This proves that they are just as much a bunch of assholes as we are. Allow it and then be offended.

Know what, let's support the WBC,  give them weapons and shit and send them on over there. One way or another it won't hurt. Nothing can hurt us as we are invincinble, and we get rid of some people, undesirables either way.

Play that. Why not play it like it was played at the onset of this country then ?

But then if the makers of IMACs have enough lobbying money they can get those nasty countries bombed, and dupe you into believing it is justified. Killing and bombing is justifiable if there is enough money involved. We must get that market open. We must reeducate their kids to play ipods all day instead of studying, so our elite can make more money.

This whole thing is too much for now. More later. Just try to see things objectively, please, for the sake of mankind. Because if somebody doesn't it won't just be the middle east that will be a glass parking lot, it will be the whole world. We either figure out how to coexist or we will cease to coexist. Got it ? They did not invade our world, we invaded their's.

Some shit just zips right over your head, doesn't it?

How many times have I asserted that the whole problem is Faith itself?
(Tweaky: There's a good thread on the "Atheist vs. Theist" group over there. Read what MasterGeorge has to say; he is much more eloquent than I could ever hope to be)

As simple as I can make it: The problem isn't Jew vs Moslem vs Catholic vs Zoroasterist vs Flying SPaghetti Monsterism.

The problem is the abdication of reason for irrationality; i.e. FAITH. It cannot be stated any more simply than that.

Judaism offends me. Islam offends me. Christianity offends me. Hinduism is less offensive to me, and Buddhism doesn't offend me at all, since Buddhism is the investigation of reality, rather than the surrender of rational thought to some mystical foolishness revolving around some cosmic omnipotent "god".

I acknowledge that there are people who believe some incredibly stupid shit, but I do not have to respect those beliefs, any more than I have to respect a 5 year old's belief in Santa Claus.

If you all want to pretend that the mass hysteria we call religion has some basis in the real universe, have at it. Leave me out. I prefer a rationalist approach.

If that store offends them, they can just go someplace else, hopefully to their homeland.

The story doesn’t surprise me as Muslims strike me as particularly sensitive group and there are a few apparent reasons why some would have reacted as they did. Just cause it comes from a pro Israel source doesn’t make it untrue and it is also reported on CNET: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-6061531-7.html which is a more mainstream source. A quick Google search indicates it spread over the “Interweb” so I’m sure some would have taken an interest in debunking it by now if it were false.
