43.5% of Indonesians Ready to go on Violent Jihad:

[Jeebus Mic]

Islamic Tolerance, and Tiny Minority of Extremists Alert lol... Gawd, I wonder what our resident Multiculturalists have to say about that?

Up to 1.3 percent of Indonesian Muslims nationwide admit using violence against people or objects they consider contradictory to their beliefs, a survey found, with more than 40 percent ready to wage war for their faith.

That means 1.3% out of the 200 Million Indonesian Muslims, that could be a staggering number, what's that a couple of million Indonesians have committed violence against others, in the name of Islam.

The survey, conducted from 2001 to March 2006, found 43.5 percent of respondents were ready to wage war on threatening non-Muslim groups, 40 percent would use violence against those blaspheming Islam and 14.7 percent would tear down churches without official permits.

LoL let's do that math, 43.5% out of 200 Million!! That's insane, how many prospective Jihadists is that? Of course we can't actually blame Islamic Ideology for this, despite the dozens upon dozens of enjoinings to commit violence found in the Quran and in the Hadiths.

The problem is not the belief in Islam - it's the belief in ideological supremacy...a trait that would pass with the individual no matter what their belief is.

Islam teaches Ideological Supremacy and enjoins followers to commit acts of violence to preserve or to "protect" that Ideological Supremacy, hence the nearly 100 Million Indonesians willing to go to Jihad. To you guys, its never Islam's fault, eventhough the overwhelming utterences of Jihad and intolerance that are present in the Quran and the Hadiths.

Hoping this will somehow past is utter nonsense, you have to challenge the difficult passages in the religion, and quit pretending it is a "religion of peace" when it is obviously not.

I don't know if you are aware of this, but almost every fucking philosophical view on life will not exist in someone's mind unless it is seen as superior to the other available options. Whether or not this is conditioned at first, it inevitably boils down to an individual's acceptance and enactment of ideological supremacy.

This can be seen amongsts atheists, agnostics, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, republicans, democrats, fascists, socialists, mysoginists, existentialists, universalists, and any other philosophy.

Mental constructs are memes - for one to accept a meme, the meme must be seen as valuable, moreso than the competition, for it to implant. Once implanted, it will be propogated further if it was arrived at through a superior attitude.

Atheism that attempts to justify itself is no less annoying or worthless than evangelistic theology.

Memes are the basis of mental disorders, and their very existence is a sign of a weak spirit: If you cannot accept that your ideas are just as much shit as another's, then you are seriously insane.

There is no justification for a single one of your ideas - they are all based upon complete nonsense! Trying to spread an idea due to its 'rightness' is akin to force-feeding those you supposedly care for (and empathize with) a giant heap of feces!

Stop twisting the statistics, it said 43.5% would defend their faith not go on a violent Jihad. How many American Christians do you think would answer the same?

Of course I'm aware, but are you aware how Islam obsessively tries to asserts its own Supremacy? Can you find an example in any other Philosophy that states believers of other Philosophies being equal to a pig, a dog, feces, semen, urine? I dare you to look up what is Pak and what is Naji, and you'll what Islam defines as "Najis". Look at Islamic Shariah, how it in court the testimony of a Christian is less that of a Muslim, a Hindu even less that of a Christian. No other philosophy even attempts to assert itself in such a supremacists manner.

so we should see 50% of Atheists willing to go on a Holy War? Agnostics willing to injure non-Agnostics for their beliefs? Surely with the Billions of Christians on this planet we should be able to recruit 100 Million Crusaders right?? We should be able to poll a result with 50% of Republicans wanting to kill Democrats, and vice versa? Right? There should be Existentialists Death Squads Running around killing people right?

you can view your particular philosophy as better than anothers, but you can't enforce it with the sword. Which Islam openly does, and supports this ideologically. Other Philosophies doesn't have text hard wired in there to kill or maim someone who doesn't believe in what they are teaching, the case is not the same for Islam.



I wonder what you consider to be nonsense, the idea that 100s of millions of extremists and Jihadists running around the world could possibly be influenced by their intolerant religion?

[Hexadecimal]

I would never claim that someone is above being influenced - this, however, is not a problem rooted in the faith of Islam, but a problem rooted in individuals that choose to take an idea so serious that they are willing to kill over it.

Stereotyping is complete bullshit: Let's say some 600 million Muslims in the world are willing to go to Holy War. Providing that the Quran doesn't entirely promote peace, you're still off if you claim the religion is violent. The religion, in fundamental extremism, is a tool of Mid-East government and organizations to rally together those that are willing to fight the developed nations of the world.

This willingness to fight does not come from Islam - it comes from opression, sanctions, and a multitude of other bullshit systems working inside and outside the nations of the Mid-East. Islam is nothing but a unifying tool to direct these willing men and women into a war that's promised to relieve the people of the West's methods. Still though, it is not Islam that is violent - it is some half billion Muslims, each deciding that there is something worth killing for, that are the basis of Mid-East violence.

And on your paragraph about other faiths and their murderous tendancies: Take a look at these philosophical groups in povert nations where oppression exists at the hands of the local government and the world governments - it is here that you have the recipe for violence, and here that you have violence regardless of the local beliefs.

The faith is not the problem.

This man speaks the truth. Listen up Jeebus Mic and stop letting yourself get sucked into the neo-cons anti Islam propoganda. The same thing happened in the cold war with Communism. We fear the enemy. Thus we fear their ideologys. Well ignoring the positive asspects because we can't see them or choose not to. Communism though flawed in action is a philosophy for a system that is essentialy benifitial to everyone in ideology. In action it ussualy didn't work so. But with Islam it's a faith. YOU think muslims are all extremists. This is where YOU are buying into the media and falling into the new red fear hype. Just take a breather. Talk to an actual moderate Muslim and educate yourself. Oh and turn the fucking t.v off.
