Lol, you got on with Savage?  Did he blow up on you?

Everyone complains that no Muslims stand up to denounce terrorism yet when one shows up and does just that, we denounce their religion anyway.

this also

This.

And that being said,
Peace be upon you, op.

This.  How about we talk about guns with him?

Very nice collection and kudos to you for sticking around despite the misinformation, haters, bad-taste jokers, etc around here.

ETA: Love the Reagan pic too. He wasn't perfect, but he was definitely the best one we've had in my lifetime.

You're confusing Bosnian muslims with Arabs.  Bosnians are muslim like most people are Catholic.  They make good neighbors, there are a shitload of them in South St. Louis.  Lots of smokehouses, kebab, and soccer.  They like their crime organized and their soccer hooligans drunk.  I was about to type "hood honest folks" but what the hell, I'll say it, some of them are a little shady in a "Eeeh my cousin Mustafa knows a guy who could help you get rid of that car payment you're always bitching about.  You do have gap coverage, right?" kind of way.

Well, this is GD

You gotta have thick skin in GD, regardless of religion

 

Bingo.  But knowing that would you believe him if he told you that he wouldn't lie to you?

CZs, mmmmm….

You, I like you.

Yep, I see it all the time. I've provided examples but they always move the goal line. "Aright, that's a few, but there's still a billion to go" as if there is a poll of all of them out there.

He phrased it poorly. Don't be a dick about it.

When I see the heads of people cut off and  even children being taught that this is ok, leaves me only one option.

"fellow Muslim"

I see what you did there

To assume that everyone believes the same thing contrary to evidence otherwise?

He's Bosnian. He probably eats more pork and drinks more alcohol than the average American.

Lol

The OP brought religion into this. You people act shocked that some people would grow a hatred for a religion that we've been fighting against for the past 13 years.

Very nice pictures.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't eat bacon.

AG42 in 6.5x55 - DO WANT!!!
(unless its the 8mm Egyption copy)

This is where I have issue, correct me if my understanding is wrong...

Muslims follow Mohammed, the Koran is the teachings of Mohammed.  The Koran, being the teachings of Mohammed, calls for it's followers to kill the non-believers.  So, a Muslim who does not follow that, is not following the teaching of their prophet. Would that not make them a "bad" Muslim?  

As a Muslim, how can one claim that faith and live their life accordingly with the mindset of, "Well, I'll follow this faith with the mindset that the whole jihad and beheading this is bad, so I'll just leave that out of my practice".  This is something that their prophet has called them to do.  I can not see following a religion/belief/teaching that calls for the killing of those who do not share your belief.

Holy shit my brother......that's a nice collection

 

But some of you seem to expect him to answer for what some other dudes he never met are doing. Any Christians here planing on heading over to Africa and putting a stop to Christian extremism?

Here we have what appears to be a good dude who loves freedom and guns and some can't help but agitate him.

You're damn right.  Denounce the religion.  That's not saying OP isn't a good person, and we're denouncing him.  Just his religion.

double tap

Do you ever hear or observe anti-american sentiment at your mosque?

That "Christian extremism" is not the teaching of Jesus.  That is not Christianity.  Killing non-believers IS the teaching of Mohammed/Islam.

I would doubt that the Muslims who are not for killing you (the majority) interpret the Koran the same way you do. Similarly, I bet you can safely walk down the streets of Tel Aviv wearing cotton shorts and synthetic shirt. I am not denying that Islam has major issues with radicals and terrorism. But I do believe that it's something cultural that can be overcome.

Probably closer to 1,400 years.

People tend to be ok to each other face to face despite certain differences in cultures and values. Not all muslims are bad people. But, when you have radicals citing islam as the reason for their atrocities it becomes hard to keep the two separate, even if it is not representative of all followers. The islamic world has done an abysmal job of policing their own and it has become the problem of the entire world. These countries also have a long history of oppressing their own people and having other attributes that are in direct conflict with American ideals. We cannot in good conscience support a dictator that oppresses his people, nor support the people that will rise against him only to become more brutal to the masses.

TLDR: It is a giant shit sandwich.

Bosnia must have some decent gun laws.

Good on you, OP. Sorry for the other guys.

What's with the "Armed Liberal" and "Obama/Biden" window sticker?

I recall the origional teachings were to protect people of the book? that would be Jews and Christians. Also during the Crusades, many of the Europeans were killing Jews and destroying their Temples. They did this because the Jews killed Jesus. The Muslims punished the Europeans.  It was the Hussein family that really pushed this haterd

OP, are you a devout muslim?  Do you eat bacon, drink beer, not pray 5 times a day, etc?

I know a lot of Bonian Muslims were like most of the Catholics and religion wasn't a huge part of their life until the other side decided you lived or died by it.

Also, are you the guy from AZ?

Do you wear flip flops or have tattoos?

This, and nice collection OP.

Good for you!

I have an issue with "cultural" part as well.  I understand that different, for lack of better term "Muslim cultures" have more or a lax following, but why follow in the first place?  I am a Christian, if Jesus called for me to be kill those who would not convert, I wouldn't be one in the first place.

Trust but verify...

English is probably his second language.  Thanks for trying though Jack Bauer.


Some of you guys need to meet more Bosnians.  Just go up and start talking soccer to the next person you see with a sort of square shaped, enormous forehead.  They're fun people who love this country, although they do think we work too hard.  I know some of them are planning to retire back to Bosnia, a dollar goes a lot farther there than it does here.  Decent folks.  Hate Gypsies.  Call one a Gypsy sometime if you wanna have some fun.

This.

Try to convert me, especially by force, and see just how little I think of your religion....

It's in our holy book, why should non-Christians make a distinction between new and old testaments?

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the LORD your God is to be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.  Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.  You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.  And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.

Still curious about that Obama/Biden bumper sticker.

It is a Hakim 8mm. Something about a semi auto 8mm. I did end up selling it to IraqVeteran8888. Yes. That guy.

Lighten up...

OP's trying to be a nice guy, not force you to be a muslim.

By paying the family $25k? Bombing the WTC? Abdul Rahman Yasin?  Carlos the Jackal, Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas? Training camps Salman Pak? Abu Nidal? PLF? Khala Khadr al-Salahat? IIS logistic support? Emad al-Ani? Ansar al-Islam? Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? much more but drink the koolaid

Savage is an idiot. Does he get interesting once in a while? Sure. But the man has so much anger in his heart it's unbelievable. He's also annoying to listen to. I rather listen to Neal Boots.

This thread is most halal.

LOL Love the arc!
