    Islam is just surreal. It seems like it's a salvia/acid trip that you don't want to experience but you know deep down that all of us eventually have to submit sooner or later.

    Don't limit yourself to film and/or even religious insults - they are probably not strong enough in the West.
    As long as we understand the reason of their "stupidity" we can handle/address it. A smarter handling is a cheaper and safer solution for us than what some of the people here (and over there) are proposing. If we are so much smarter and more evolved - let's behave as such.

    We have so much knowledge and technology that we share with them. It's not our fault that they wont use it for something good like better educating their citizens. They use our technologies against us to spread hate and misinformation.

    The problem is because the middle east restricted freedom from the beginnings. It prevents opinions and progress to develop. See America was born for freedom, to be free from British rule and established laws to keep freedom reign, such as free speech, religion and whatnot. Imagine if the American government made it illegal to speak against slavery, that it can bring death upon you.I seriously seriously doubt we'd have a black president today.

    The answer is simple, the middle eastern countries need to tear down everything and let freedom ring. This will be difficult because they see in America that same sex people are now fighting to get married. I bet that is horrifying to them.
    America is free is a load of bull . It is basically a police state with all sorts of laws you can spend time in jail and or fined for.

    Truth is, and no one wants to admit it, secular dictators like Hussein and Quadaffi are the best thing we can hope for in the middle east. They both modernized their countries more than anyone else ever has, and their brutal methods were the only way to prevent total anarchy erupting in a region dominated by a religion with millennium-old beliefs. Removing those two was the most idiotic thing America could have possibly done in its "War on Terror". The day when every country in the middle east is controlled by a Hussein or Quadaffi should be a day America longs for. They both did more "nation building" than we ever will in the region.
    The Motha in troof, but where we disagree is that I say hey knew exactly what they were doing when they removed those two all along.

    US may have the highest incarceration rate, but your average American is much more "free" than many in third world countries, simply due to higher quality of life.

    Fair point, but the other day I read that only 7% of those in prison are in prison for violent crimes. That's in ridiculous. This country's bull "War on Drugs" is really nothing more than a huge revenue source for Big Pharma and the growing Privatized Prison industry.

    Standard of living (quality of life)
    The US ranks around 9th
    1. Norway
    2. Australia
    3. Sweden
    4. Netherlands
    5. Germany
    6. Switzerland
    7. Ireland
    8. Canada
    9. United states

    Freedom doesn't have anything to do with standard of living (quality of life) of third world countries. Nice job moving the goal posts.

    Police hunting down 'extremist criminals' after protest

    Police have vowed to crack down on "extremist criminals" in the wake of yesterday's violent protest in Sydney's CBD in which six officers were injured.

    Six people have been charged after hundreds of Muslims descended on central Sydney to voice their anger over an anti-Islamic film published on the internet.

    The protest in Sydney followed similar action in the Middle East and North Africa which has left at least nine people dead in the past few days.

    New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione says he was shocked by yesterday's violent scenes where offices were reportedly pelted with glass bottles and police cars damaged.

    "Some of the behaviour, it has absolutely floored me. To see a young child with a placard thrust in his hand, calling for the beheading of a person is simply something I cannot comprehend," he said.

    "It's not what we teach our children. I was particularly affronted by that scene."

    Police today set up strike force McAlister to deal with the violent protesters and Commissioner Scipione says police will do everything they can to keep the city safe.

    "You can be assured, we are waiting. We will deal with you. This is a no-nonsense engagement. If you want to act like you are extremist criminals, we will treat you like you are extremist criminals," he said.

    "This is not Libya. This is not the country where you come to do what we saw yesterday."

    You don't think increased wealth provides additional freedom? If you have more money, you have more freedom to choose.

    I think a lot of the Americans are jailed for is bull too. But jail is better than having your hand cut off, or just being killed out right.

    It's amazing how a few days' worth of media reports on the actions a few thousand radicals can make genocide seem like a reasonable idea to people.

    Is this what "moderate" Islam looks like?

    Malaysia holds seminars to help teachers spot 'gay children'


    Malaysia's government said in March that it is working to curb the 'problem' of sexuality, especially among Muslims.

    Light-coloured clothes and large handbags for boys listed as signs, as government forges ahead with anti-gay agenda

    The Malaysian government has begun holding seminars aiming to help teachers and parents spot signs of sexuality in children, underscoring a rise in religious conservatism in the country.

    So far, the Teachers Foundation of Malaysia has organised 10 seminars across the country. Attendance at the last event on Wednesday reached 1,500 people, a spokesman for the organisation said.

    The federal government said in March that it is working to curb the "problem" of sexuality, especially among Muslims who make up over 60% of Malaysia's population of 29 million people.

    Malaysia frowns on oral and gay sex, describing them as against the order of nature. Under civil law, 'offenders', both male and female, can be jailed for up to 20 years, caned or fined.

    Yeah, but if the Fed continues to ruin our dollar and get us downgraded, that quality of life might not be so high for much longer, tbh.....

    No, moderate Muslims probably don't agree with the actions of the Malasyan government here.

    That was a really easy question! Let's have another!
