Blaming muslims for the statements of a lunatic is as ridiculous as blaming christians for the statements of a lunatic.

Try blaming lunatics.

What's a moslem?

LynetteScavo · 21/04/2010 19:39

But I think (presume) Icelandic woman dress quite modestly...I mean it's not the warmest of countries.

I have noticed a lot of natural disasters occur in Muslim or Catholic areas. Making me wonder if God is annoyed with Catholics and Muslims. I've never found anyone to agree with my lunatic theory, though.

@lincstash

Last time I checked the commonly used and agreed upon word for someone who follows Islam is Muslim.

I think you were just lucky that your typo is technically not wrong

onagar · 21/04/2010 19:51

So any time I think a religion is supporting/claiming something ridiculous it is because the person saying it is mentally ill?

And what is the technical term for people who follow someone who is mentally ill?

Cos it's not just muslims you know. We have CofE bishops proclaiming that gay people caused the floods a few years back. An American one claiming that Obama's health bill caused a hurricane and so on. There's not a week goes by without a really insane religous claim.

lincstash · 21/04/2010 19:51

it wasnt a typo. its a perfectly valid spelling of the word ive used since i was a child. In fact , it was the common way to spell it up until the 1980's.

What a great way to be modern and not at all stuck in the past then!

lincstash · 21/04/2010 19:53

absolutely, Onagar.

All religion is basically a human invented social prop, its just a question of degrees of bollox.

I knew that Muslim could also be spelt Moslem.

onagar · 21/04/2010 19:58

No need to fight about the moslem/muslim thing. Both are fine and I suspect moslem might be american spelling as I see it in american books.

Fight about something really important like how long your hair should be. That's a favorite with religions. I think god used to be a hair stylist in a previous life

Oh yay one crazed ignorant person said something ridiculous so lets blame all religious people and call them nutters/fanatics/lunatics etc!

And while we're at it the bnp are spouting some nonsense so lets blame all white british people yay oh and remember we must still punish the Germans because they all believe what Hitler said and don't get me started on Bush and the Americans who obviously believe and support everything he did, etc. etc. etc.

Seriously guys I guess we have some far right supporters wandering the mn boards, maybe you'll drum up a little support for the upcoming election

PussinJimmyChoos · 21/04/2010 21:00

This cleric does not know his Islam that is for sure

onagar · 22/04/2010 15:05

CagedBird, like I said further back as soon as anything is done in the name of religion that is hard to defend people say "oh but that doesn't count as he must be mad"

But this is how religion is. Not just Islam, but all of them. Not all followers, but the religions themselves.

Remember the bible is full of examples that are just like this clerics one and just like the one that the CofE bishops are saying.

Are you saying that the bible was written by mentally unstable people?
