Tweets From A "Religion Of Peace"er
A Muslim woman tossed out a bunch of violent tweets to me and then disappeared from Twitter when I retweeted them to expose them to sunlight. Here they are:
@extremeind we really love to kill people who belive in another god and happy that i belive in one god@extremeind i really wish to kill people who dont belive in any god
@extremeind we are so happy with jihad so happy that we are planing to start it in america europe and all over world
You know, I'm an atheist, not a Christian, but I can get right behind all that Jesus stuff of "feed the poor" and "turn the other cheek," and in Judaism, one of the highest forms of righteousness is helping somebody learn to help himself. Nice stuff.
And then, there was this quote Rob Brezny posted on Facebook from the Dalai Lama:
"If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change."
I don't know if they actually practice that, but I sure like the sentiment.
Here are "Ten Obvious Reasons Why Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace" from thereligionofpeace.com:
#1 18,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last ten years. (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so). #2 Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad....#7 Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.
#8 Islam teaches that non-Muslims are less than fully human. Muhammad said that Muslims can be put to death for murder, but that a Muslim could never be put to death for killing a non-Muslim.
#9 The Qur'an never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.
#10 "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!" (The last words from the cockpit of Flight 93)
Amy, without commenting on the substance regarding Islam: whenever an anonymous person emails or comments or tweets stuff that makes group X sound terrible, I always wonder whether it's an actual member of that group, or a troll causing drama, or a false flag out to make that group look terrible. This one smells a little trollish to me.
(That's not to say that there aren't people out there who think exactly what she said.)

She started following me a few weeks or so ago and tweeting to me. She surely deleted her account after posting those tweets to me, after I finished my deadline and called her on them.

She doesn't know you very well, does she?
