#1 What is this "our" he's referring to?

#2 The Taliban, like the vast majority of Muslims, assert that believers in Allah are superior to infidels, that men must have supreme authority over women, and leaders over people.

I managed to read 24 pages of that piece of shit book called the Quran. I got real sick real fast of being called kufr, which is NOT an unbeliever but a 'denier of truth'. That's world class fucking arrogance right there and they can eat a bag of dicks for all I care.

Badanov, feel free to ban this comment for its offensive comment. Or does that depend on whose direction it's pointed at?

#3 ^Trust me that shit called Quran seems to be a personal diary written by a teenage boy who was high on meth, failed his math test, scolded by his mom and rejected by his crush; all in one day.

#4 I'll believe that the left is concerned about "human rights" the moment they begin to display kindness and respect to Christians and conservatives.

Until then, just "no" to anything they propose. You can't negotiate with enemies.

#6 Violence is the only 'self evident' truth of the cosmos. The lofty things firmament, the mountains and rivers and even intelligent life... all are gifts of epic violence.

And violence alone can keep chaos at bay, if we wish to keep these things. Making up your own truths, thought up by self-righteous types is in-conducive to survival. At best, such words should be used to keep the rubes in line and the sentimental ones singing.

But one shuns the language of violence to his detriment.

#7 keep the rubes in line and the sentimental ones singing.
