Moral of the story, don’t put machine guns in the hands of 14-year-olds. Even better, don’t put machine guns in civilian hands of any age. Unless you cherish martyrdom, in which case don’t be upset when it comes to you. Can’t celebrate AND mourn the same thing at the same time.

Harm comes your way when you harm others. If you’re a man, you face it alone. If a Palestinian, you put your family in the way for protection.

Yes. And that’s why all anti-rape campaigns are geared toward MEN. That’s why it’s MEN who are seen with greatest suspicion even on the slightest allegation of rape. Prejudice comes from precedent. And yet, dear sir, here’s a bomb-sized hole in the parallel you just drew: A

Non-Muslim Bimbo: Happy Birthday, Sufi! Sufi: Fires of hell to non-Muslims. Human: 👆🏽 Non-Muslim Bimbo: You sanghi, you bigot, you fascist, you… I used to call rightwingers Bholus for being dumb. They still exist, but boy did I miss a whole world of Bholus on the other side!

Utsab Mondal was an idiot. Dude you live in Bangladesh, what were you expecting? They got Rushdie in fuckin’ New York and Kanhaiyalal in India. What made you think Bangladesh, of all places, would be safe from these rats?

“Islam is in its origins an Arab religion. Everyone not an Arab who is a Muslim is a convert. Islam is not simply a matter of conscience or private belief. It makes imperial demands. A convert’s worldview alters. His holy places are in Arab lands; his sacred language is Arabic.

Terrorism because destabilized by America. Yet no Latino suicide bombers. Terrorism because oil. Yet no Venezuelan flying airplanes into buildings. Terrorism because impoverished by Europeans. Yet no African going around killing heathens in other countries. Terrorism because

Try “deal with it” when the world actually deals with it. Rather than groveling for sympathy like the unprincipled ferals that you fucks are regardless of your privilege.

I have read the Quran but not the Vachanas, so can’t comment, but could anyone who has, fact-check this strange take please? I think am a wee bit suspicious. Does Basavanna too ask you to kill non-Lingayats wherever they are, cover your women completely except their eyes, and

Too many Indians seem confidently under the impression that the Baluchistan issue is of a Hindu minority seeking independence from a Muslim majority. 🤦🏽‍♂️

True. What a Hindu does to Hindu sentiments is for Hindus to worry about, just make sure YOU don’t do it? I mean, we don’t give a fuck about what you do to fellow Muslims who hurt Muslim sentiments, do we?

This is exactly the justification they still give for Nadir Shah’s sack of Delhi and Aurangzeb’s massacre of Hindus. It’s political, it’s economic, it’s climate…it’s everything but religion. And since it’s not religion, it’s okay.

Good you regurgitate that tiresome medieval lie again. I dedicated thousands of words to busting this exact nonsense long ago. Read it if facts matter. schandillia.com/p/the-birth-of…
