Santa banned from school because of Muslims

[QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

Seriously dude, read the Old Testament. Some of those books do nothing more than justify ethnic cleansing.

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"] .... .... yay for thinking that a whole religion is evil! :| It's people like you that stir hate crimes. Honestly. That verse was totally cherry picked. Admit it.dromiceiomimus

Evil according to what? You?

Santa doesn't really have anything to do with any particular religion; he's just a symbol of joy and generosity.UT_Wrestler

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]I'm well aware of the vileness of the Old Testament. What, may I ask, is your point?surrealnumber5

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]The whole religion IS evil. Misogyny is evil. Flogging people for sex outside of marriage is evil. Homophobia is evil. Slavery is evil, antisemitism is evil, and the idea of hell is evil. And, oh look, the Quran condones every ****ing one of those. And here you are, having the arrogance to accuse me of stirring hate crimes purely for pointing out the barbarism of the Quran.dromiceiomimus

[QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]How does that context make any difference? It's still a general statement demanding tribute from non-Muslims and the context provides no evidence that it is anything other.Ninja-Hippo

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Yes, and the bible is also an evil book. What's your point?alexside1

Part of growing up is learning to function where you are uncomfortable. This nation is growing babies by the hundreds with crap like this.

Arabs, not Muslims, are Semites. Not all Arabs are Muslim. Not all Muslims are Arabs.

[QUOTE="alexside1"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Hah - alright, so I'm fanatically opposed to misogyny and homophobia and antisemitism and slavery. Is that bad? I think it's something to be proud of.dromiceiomimus

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Yes, and the bible is also an evil book. What's your point?dromiceiomimus

... Pretty silly when Santa is a commercial holiday figure, a myth.. It really doesn't hold any relationship with Christianity now.. That being said, I am willing to bet we would hear much GREATER out roar if a Islamic myth figure came to there to give the kids gifts and what not.sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="Asim90"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"] antisemitism is evil, worlock77

Ohh Just to had Honour Killings are actually semi common in the Uk not alone somewhere else in the world so again i stand by and say its an in general intolerant religion.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="Asim90"] Arabic is a Semitic language and Muslims are Semites also, so by the real definition of antisemitism, you are antisemitic yourself. Talked yourself into a right one there didn't you.Asim90

Arabs, not Muslims, are Semites. Not all Arabs are Muslim. Not all Muslims are Arabs.

Actually I believe that only around 20% of the world's Muslims are Arabic.

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]You're damn right it was done in the 'old-fashioned way of thinking' - it's barbarianism, and the very idea that it should be a model for modern society is ethically repugnant.alexside1

[QUOTE="alexside1"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Try again. I was referring to the Jewish race, not the Jewish religion - I must say, I've never seen 'antisemitism' used to simply mean dislike of the Jewish religion.dromiceiomimus

I am not thinking of the specific figure at all.. I am just pointing out YES its a over-reaction thats quite ridiculous.. But if Santa were a Islamic figure coming to these kids giving the gifts, I honestly believe we would see a massive outrage.. Especially with the past few years of people wanting Islam to be expelled from the United States.

[QUOTE="Cheesehead9099"] Yes, that's why not many Muslims/Christians FOLLOW those writings anymore. Because they are not fit for modern day society. IT DOES NOT MEAN, in ANY way, that the religion is EVIL. dromiceiomimus

On the same basis that Christians and Jews adjust their religion to fit the society they live in.

We do know better today then we did centuries ago where will killed people for being heretics, witches or other such things.. People can choose what they want to believe in.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Except that Christians and Jews aren't obliged by their religion to believe that their holy books are the word of God. Try again.dromiceiomimus

Uhhh, yeah, they are.

[QUOTE="Asim90"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]I and almost everyone else use it to mean dislike of the Jewish race. dromiceiomimus

I find it hilarious that you are trying to dismiss me like I haven't thrown you off your pedestal, maybe because you didn't expect your ignorance to blow up in your own face? The point is, not all semites are jews, so to say that antisemitism is anti-jewish is wrong. Many muslims are semites and you are clearly anti-muslim, so by definition you are a anti-semitic hypocrite. Now off you go.

Dude, you're just being damned ignorant now.

[QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"][QUOTE="Asim90"] Which is completely wrong. Why can't you comprehend that? Stop being ignorant and just accept it. Antisemitism isn't just antijewish. That's a fallacy created by the media and is constantly used by hypocrites like yourself, and it's incredibly frustrating.Asim90

[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Except that that verse is only God-breathed if it's true, and thus if a Christian does not believe that the verse is true, then they are not obliged to believe that the Bible is God-breathed.dromiceiomimus

Also to note.. Semitic is a definition of their language group.. Hebrew and Arabic are in the semitic language tree... Though it could be argued that antisemitism was directed towards Jews.. It was coined based upon the Nazi Regime's hatred.. Because if we were take it literally it could mean that you do not favor those languages, not necessarly the people that speak them.
