which, i'd say is a sign that contraception needs to be discussed more, and they should be told of the consequences of it....so that girls aren't having sex thinking that they can't get pregnant, or getting pregnant because they're using contraceptives wrong. my point is just, the arguement...

when you mention social justice, do you mean the use of a particular relgions views to create a code of laws, or in the sense that it would instill in people the belief that they have to follow a given set of laws of a region/country/etc but not neccessarily just their religious beliefs? or did...

american ships were attacked while the u.s. was neutral. so the u.s. joined the war. that was 3 YEARS after the start of the war that the u.s. became involved. so how is that warmongering? and any links to this claim of raping in the prisons? there's been some isolated incidents of people...

why is that a difference that matters? what is the difference between a newspaper printing something or any other printing entity, such as those that print the quran? they're both private companies.

and actually, forgot to mention that American ships were being sunk by the Germans in WWI

so, you're saying germany should've won WWI? and what the HECK do you think you're doing listing WWII with other wars that the U.S. was involved in that didn't lead to provocation? The U.S. was attacked by Japan, hense, the U.S. fought Japan. Or are you just saying that the U.S. shouldn't have...

no, because offensive is subjective. what is offensive to one person is not neccessarily offensive to someone else. all you're doing at this point is trying to say that what you feel or believe has superiority over waht i would feel or believe.

ah, but you bring up social justice. thats a very grey area.

back on topic....generally, does religion provide a greater social good or a social evil?

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper yeah...now that i think about it, i don't think i've used an encyclopedia as a source for anything i've written in YEARS...its not detailed enough of a source for higher level work.

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper no, the COMMUNITY is self policing. in other words, if someone puts something inappropriate, other people fix it, and articles lacking sufficicent sources or containing biases not yet fixed are labeled as such

i'll generally agree with soha here on the word itself, though i will add that infidel does have a negative connotation, so its not exactly a term used with tolerance in mind.

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper oh, i didn't mean to imply he was faultless...morally, don't think its right to put out false info like that...but it does seem fairly blatant my point was more that you started to argue that wikipedia in general is an invalid source based on something that...

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper the point is, before you attack a source, check that it came from said source

the point is, they portrayed him. your statement was which is an absolute statement, and is also not true. Though yes, many portrayals of him do not show the face. Just, not all of them. You're the one that tried to use absolutes.

well, first of all...that bit he said isnt' even FROM wikipedia. so i'm not sure how ti can be used in an arguement against it. and CNN being on tv doesn't make it reputable. wikipedia i would consider more reliable than a media source, less reliable than an expert in a given field.

a question, if i found the Quran offensive, does that give me the right to say taht it can no longer be printed so that i don't have to feel 'offended'?

take a look at the link of additional images. to give a more direct link, its http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/isla/hob_57.51.9.htm its circa 1425, and shows his face.

Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper what was he quoting? plenty of those things are sourced so that you can check the accuracy. not to mention the media has been very lacking in this case...BBC incorrectly reported what cartoons there was, and few media outlets will show what the pictures are...

yes, america is a warmonger. which is why the u.s. was attacked for YEARS before striking back against the taliban in afghanistan. and this doesn't help the economic position of the u.s, either
