I made a joke about the koran on FB and some guy from Libya posted that they "would hang me from a tree in front of my house". I reported the post to FB and received a reply that "the post does not violate their community standards".

Apparently death threats from muslims are part of their community standards.

I figured all gloves are off, so I returned a post to that ahole about dipping my bullets in pig fat so to protect the virginity of all the little girls stuck in their version of heaven waiting to be raped by fallen muslim fighters.

I can't wait to see if that meets FB community standards. LOL

BH63

Charming.

dumb assed exchange to get involved in.

Most of the civilized world has been kissing muslim ass for 20 years. Now it is time to stand up and let them know you will not be bullied or cowed by their cowardly acts of terrorism.

BH63

By rattling your keyboard? Was prob some 15 yo.

Nope it was a US University trained geologist in Tripoli.

Actually I have friends that are Muslim, but they are moderates that are worldly enough to know that you don't issue death threats for people who make jokes or criticize certain aspects of their religion.

People have been publicly criticizing Catholic priests (deservedly so in my opinion) for all of the stories of pedophilia and subsequent cover ups, yet no one has received any death threats from Catholics (ar least to my knowledge LOL)

This makes me question your judgement if you want to get in a pissing match with someone in Libya on facebook.

But to each their own.

Are you sure it was a death threat if facebook didn't remove it?

they are pretty hot on these things.

What did he say verbatim?

Buff, you f*cked up. Don't joke about a culture or a religion you don't understand. Facebook wasn't the problem. Your freedom of speech here doesn't mean shit in other countries.

If you have a passport, I would say, burn it. You are a danger to yourself.

For Libya, I would say he was just stating the truth.

I would not insult the royal family in Thailand, Autark in Turkey, show buffalo hunting pictures in the Hindu belt in India, insult mao in china, argue that Jinnah was not a religious Muslim in Pakistan and so on.

The world does not revolve around the US.

Yet you can say whatever you want about any religion here without fear of being hung from a tree. But you already knew that so let’s be careful with that last sentiment.

Mike is right. Hard as it is for some to understand, the world does NOT revolve around the US. Your rights here mean exactly squat elsewhere.

Cause Saeed let’s you say that. He does not let you post pornography on ar. The freedom of speech on ar is Saeed’s doing not the us constitutions.

We do have community standards.


If you go to Walmart - log into their free WiFi and try and get on AR you will not have access. Same at few airports. Emirates airlines used to ban AR.

People have started to view internet access and right to free speech as the same. It’s not. When one is posting stuff on ar twitter Facebook ect one is using borrowed electronic pen and paper.

Mike

I have visited over 43 countries and have lived in 4. When in Rome do as the Romans.

When in the US I celebrate our "freedoms" without trepidation. I poke fun at any and all.

To do otherwise means the muslim terrorists have won.

From some of the responses, it would appear some posters have capitulated (at least psychologically) to the terrorists acts.

And to paraphrase "Muslims need to learn that the world does not revolve around their beliefs".

By here I meant the US not this or any other forum.

Common sense dictates "When in Rome....." but fewer and fewer people have it. And remember, when some third world shithole needs our help they damn sure believe the world revolves around the US.

Oh,I agree. If I were king,all foreign aid would be null + void until there was something in it for ourselves. I do agree to any cultural manners being observed wherever you travel;its a secret to a long life.Keep us informed about the status of Facebook and + the "potential muslim killers".

quote:

"Foreign Aid" is an oft kicked around target by those who don't know the particulars of it, or how much we actually "spend". Most Americans vastly overestimate the amount of foreign aid the US provides to other nations? Care to guess? Less than 1% or our budget, even pr-Trump. Most people lean towards 25%.

I know this isn't the PF, although with some posts lately it's becoming harder to distinguish the two, but cutting foreign aid is probably not a good thing, and many people will likely die as a result of the "savings".

In addition, almost all of the "security" tied foreign aid we "spend" is used by design and requirement for the recipients to buy US made arms and armament. So, in effect, we are supporting US manufacturers with our FA. So, there is something in it "for ourselves" And, it goes further, if you're a FA recipient and almost your total defense system is based on US goods, you're not likely to take a position which would endanger the continued flow of replacement parts, muntions, etc.

Much of US FA, approximately 2/3, is used for humanitarian support, such as responses to famines, floods, and other disasters. I'm as tight as the next person, or tighter, but saving people and children's lives gives me the "something for ourselves".

I wonder how many millions (probably billions) of US foreign aid has wound up in Swiss bank accounts owned by the rulers of those countries that are so desperately in need?

BH63

Hey, Swiss bankers need money, too.

You are right about that. We can be as mean and deranged as anyone else.

I disagree with CHC's comment about America dropping in influence during Obama's regime. Obama was well thought of elsewhere in the world. Trump in one year has managed to piss off a good number of our friends around the world. How has that enhanced our influence?

I repeat, DAMN FEW. That list goes back well over 40 years and the total killed would be nothing compared to the muslim true believers who blow themselves and others up. Of course, if I or one of my family was one of the victims, I would have a different viewpoint.

Merely a difference in opinions Kensco. If you will notice I didn't make any claims any the effects Trump is or may be having.

However in looking back at other Presidents, Obama all too often presented hisself, in my opinion, as less than an equal to foriegn leaders.

There is a way to carry one's self in a humble manner when meeting another person or in our President's case, the leader of another country, whereas Obama seemed to present himself as being subservient or apologetic.

To me, Obama simply never seemed to present himself when visiting or entertaining foriegn leaders, as being proud to be an American.

~$50 billion per year in foreign aid is chump change to keep the animals at bay. One of the untoward byproducts of globalization is the ease with which the animals have dragged the third world into civilized countries.

True Muslims do suicide bombings, True Americans do suicide by cop shootings?

Certainly true and more's the pity that "jihadized" Muslims don't follow their example.

So what you are saying, in summary, is that no one group is immune from murderous craziness?

No, what I am saying is that Muslims, being born religious fanatics, can relatively easily be convinced by their Imams to strap on explosives and blow up innocent people. Most of the other examples are products of depression, insanity, or other mental illnesses. I'm not sure what "death by cop" means to you, but to me, it's simply a coward's way out.

Muslims are "born religious fanatics"?

That's an interesting assertion.

Given that the rest follows on from that first assertion, would you mind establishing it with some sort of evidence or something?

Honestly Ghubert, during the past 10 years what one group has been tied to terrorist attacks around the globe most often?

I personally don't view ALL Muslims as a threat to society in general, but it is damn hard to deny that a certain segment of the Muslim population does seem to be more easily lured into acts of violence than Muslims in general.

When was the last time you heard of someone being killed for denigrating the Christian Bible? OTOH, people are regularly killed by those born religious fanatics, Muslims, because someone POSSIBLY or even did do something they viewed as sacreligious to a Koran or Mohammed. "Born" refers to being born as a member of a religion which, by modern standards, is fanatic.

People who are afraid to speak their minds because of what some fanatic might do, are an embarrassment to all the people who have died to help preserve "freedom of speech" in the USA.

The joke I made was in reference to a news report where a man place a package of bacon on the front step of a mosque in FL and received something like 10 or 15 years in prison.

I stated that "perhaps, we should place copies of the Koran in public restrooms for reading or other purposes."

Now any group of idiots that think a person needs "to be hanged from a tree in front of his house" for making a statement like that is a psycho that needs to be locked up or put out of their misery IMO.

The fact that FB thinks "hanging someone in a tree in front of their house" does not violate their community standards, tells me they are just a bunch of wimped out muslim apologists.

Better to live bravely and die young, then live a life of quiet fear. Giving into bullies is never the answer.

BTW I do have CCW permit. LOL

My dear fellow, where have you been?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism

The IRA would kill other Christians for belonging to the "wrong" sect too, they got a lot of support from the US over the years until 9/11 seemed to convince their donors and supporters that terrorism is a bad thing no matter who does it.

The idea that a Islam as a religion is "fanatic" by modern standards is also untenable, are you sure that's what you meant?

I find it very sad that anyone would actually make fun of other religions, especially on a silly place as Facebook.

Another sad thing is that Muslims are blamed for the crimes of a small minority.

I have lived in several countries, for extended periods of time, seeing hardly any Muslims, never felt I was different nor was I made to feel different from those around me.

How come no one blames Christians for the Nazi crimes??

Don’t tell me that you think the Nazis were not Christians, because if you do, I will tell you the likes of ISIS are not Muslims.

Ah, but "envisage" is not reality. Do you really believe that someone deserves to be killed because they thew away or burned a copy of the Koran?
