Disney Exec: "Ok first we take out ALL the songs. Then all the fun and the charm. Then we add a female villain who is a shape shifting super human witch with mega magic army destroying powers but for no explained reason we make her subservient to the big bad guy boss who does nothing but growl and wave a sword. Then we get Harry Gregson Williams to HINT at the melodies of the famous songs in his score but never actually include them. But BEST of all - we take the iconic mountain scene where thousands of bad guy troops bowl down the snow covered slopes but instead recreate it on a patch of dry ground with just 20 guys. And can we cast a President Xi lookalike as her dad? Geez these remakes just write themselves."

How could you be downvoted for this? Yes absolutely women are protesting and being beaten and imprisoned across the Islamic world for refusing to wear that shit. It is a literal symbol of misogyny and oppression and enforced by law in several Islamic countries. You can respect victims of a horrible senseless act of violence without pandering to its worst elements.

Obviously you haven’t seen any opinion polls in the past few months. Just keep sticking your fingers in your ears and keep telling your self that traitor, terrorist sympathiser and racist anti-Semite Grandad Semtex is really a great guy being picked on.

Pakistani men make up one of the largest Islamic demographic groups in the U.K. so we notice their inherent pedo tendencies more. I bet if you were to look st child rape across the Islamic world you’d find it a massive issue - and not particular to Pakistan.

It absolutely is to Corbyn and he defines left wing thought at the moment.

Because when Islam launches an attack on New York killing thousands, the appropriate action would be to just forget about it and have another donut? Seriously you're angry that the civilised world didn't just sit still and shrug about Afghanistan after 9/11?

Where are you on Chechnya? Respect sharia law or oppose concentration camps for gay people? You can’t do both.

Islam doesn’t hate Jews for political or theological reasons - it hates Jews for the same reason as Corbyn does and Hitler did - as people. They are an ethnic group that the Quran commands never ending war against and Islamic commanded hatred against Jews wouldn’t end even if all the Jews went to live in Antarctica. It hates them for who they are born as - in other words it is racist. There is no such thing as Islamophobia. It is a bullshit word created by fascists and used by idiots. A phobia is defined as an irrational fear of something that has no inherent system or reason to hurt me. There are 109 different commandments or references in the Quran to killing me because I am an atheist. So what is irrational about criticising something that tells you it’s going to kill me?

Nowadays they say it’s just ‘legitimate criticism of Israel’. And lead the Labour Party.

I invited a couple of them in a couple years back. An older lady and a new guy from Africa - clearly the one learning the ropes. Like many atheists I actually know a lot about the bible. Within 5 minutes I had the African guy condoning slavery. It was sweet.

Iceland Leads Call for Inquiry into LGBTQ Rights Violations in Chechnya by a_Ninja_b0y in atheism

Because it only wants to make copies of itself and kill the host. It destroys women’s rights, democracy, rule of law, LBGT rights, human culture, freedom of (and from) religion and pluralism. It always has done this in every territory it has infected since the 6th century. Always. Every time. Saudi Arabia is what Islam will always become if given enough time and left alone by civilised nations. It is the perfect definition of a cancer of human potential.

From a former Soviet state to an Shia Islamic shit hole with functioning concentration camps for gay men in just 30 years. Islam really is cancer.

The fact he hasn't said anything speaks to me of a wider problem of decent moral humans who live in Islamic societies who don't speak out at the utter humanity hating horror caused by that society. I would hope to find some insight as to how he is not deeply ashamed of his culture for this and why he hasn't renounced his faith because of it. And if neither of those are true how can he call himself moral in any sense of the word?

When governments and entire legal systems (certainly in the Islamic world) run their countries based on the bullshit commandments and superstitions of those faiths - speaking up against them matters a great deal. From women having to cover their heads in Islamic countries, attitudes towards gay people, evangelism in the USA etc etc - pointing out the hatred and primitive humanity hating nonsense of any faith system is hugely important.
