Mods ... Action Requested

certain members are posting BLATANT lies about certain religions that are SO ABSURD and STUPID .... that they are an INSUKT TO THE MIND OF THOSE THAT BELIEVE THOSE LIES ...

as well as being hurtfl to others ...

I request that such topics NOT be allowed ...

OR IF THEY ARE ALLOWED .... THEN PLEASE ALLOW US TO POST SIMILAR ARTICLES FOR OTHER RELIGIONS ...

WHY ARE THINGS BEING POSTED AGAINST

SHIA ISLAM .. ???

I request I be allowed to post SIMILAR LIES

about

CATHOLICISM ..

THE POPE

CHRISTIANITY IN GENERAL

HINDUISM

AND ALL OTHERS WHO MAKE POSTS ABOUT SHIA ISLAM ...

why are certain people allowed to post lies about one religion .... BUT NOT OTHERS???


This is NOT fair play ...


ON THE OTHER HAND ... IT WOULD BE MORE SENSIBLE FOR THE BOEARD TO NOT ALLOW SUCH POSTS ON THE FIRST PLACE ...


THAT WOULD BE BETTER ...


I AM REFERING TO THE FOLLOWING THREAD :


Words of Wisdom from Grand Ayatollah Khomeini

I googled some of those quotes and a lot sites accredited those quotes to him. That doesn't make it true however because there is a lot of BS on the net. The matter will be investigated and the appropriate action will be taken. And rest assured, no matter what the Ayatollah did or didn't say, we will not tolerate hatred and bigotry against Shia Islam. From what I read, no body said anything about the religion itself, just the Ayatollah. But I repeat, the quotes will be investigated and any sources you can provide disproving them would be appreciated. My first impression was that they were made up because even if he was crazy enough to believe that stuff I wouldn't think he would let it go on record, let alone in his book. But a lot of sites seem to confirm it.

People post lies about whatever, on here all the time. It's your chance, and right, to prove them wrong.

I never posted ANYTHING against Shia Islam. I posted a topic against AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI. Criticizing the sins of past popes is not the same thing as criticizing catholicism, and in the same way, criticizing past ayatollahs is not the same as criticizing Shia Islam.

The quotes I posted a widely known and are attributed to the Ayatollah, and are confirmed by hudnreds of websites on the Internet. Instead of simply calling me names, why dont you check the book out and see for yourself?

BTW censorship of ideas is only promoted by people who are afraid of or in denial of the truth.

Dude its as moronic as those series of threads on PDF a while ago about Brahma and his incest stories. I protested there and I would protest the same idiocy here. Your claim is like saying all Pandits say x (something really embarrassing) but I'm not saying anything against Hinduism. Khomeini was like the pope for the Shias. Mind you I'm a Sunni. Or a Muslim fed up of these people promoting Sectarianism thats claimed a gazillion innocent lives.

With that said Vision, one Man's crusade to promote BS doesn't make his BS the truth or make him a Prophet - Just a mayor of Shitville. Personally I think such people feed off the anger that you vent off over here. That's their strength. Personally the person can post stuff about the Prophet, I can't be bothered, just shows that person's moronicness nothing else.

It's your God given right to hate anything you want, just don't hurt anyone. (Sorry about the God given part, but I had to say it.)

Would you like to be?

Not believing in religion is not the same thing as hating it. Why do you hate it?

PS. You know what I meant Praxus, I didn't mean literally just hating it, I meant spewing forth made up ******** that discriminates against a particular religion. As an athiest its part of YOUR belief system to despise all religions which is fine.

ofcourse NOT ...

hating is within your rights ...

however ... posting stuff that is obviously against COMMON SENSE ... and against TARGETING A RELIGION BY POSTING .... lemme use the polite word ... MISLEADING POSTS ... is NOT within your rights ...


CRITISIZE ALL YOU WISH ... but DON'T MISLEAD OR POST STUFF THAT IS OBVIOUSLY FALSE ...

your freedom ends where my nose begins ... remember??


WHY DON'T WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT ALL FORMS OF RELIGION ... AND I MEAN ALL RELIGION ... actually prpagate some very basic principles which are common ...

Nobody said squat about a religion, just one guy. I couldn't find anything claiming it was false.

Nobody has any right to do anything on this board except for the owners of the board. We post because the owners allow us too, not by right.
