Yeah! Who needs all that modernization when it’s nice and comfortable here in the Bronze Age. No booze! No bacon! No music! Now no women on the TV! Must be boring….

Never fear, all you haters out there. These people only ensure that they and theirs remain in the dark ages and that their brains never develop properly. If that is what they think their religion wants, let them do it and be forever dominated by the west. Let them walk the path of idiocy, that way, we never have to deal with them on even footing.

"why this people hate women that much? their mommy isn't a woman?"

Latent Homosexuality IMO.

Their counter-parts in the slightly more modern world of the christian fundamentaists act in a similar manner.

What I think the fundamentalist really need is to be given a small comfortable part of the country closed off from the rest of the country & be supported financially. Without the dangerous corrupting influence of women. Eventually they will all get very old & die & their stupid ideas can die with them.

Eventually they will all get very old & die & their stupid ideas can die with them." No, there will just spring up all over Europe and the US.

Why doesn't JT like putting up more articles about stuff like this, like the case in upstate NY and the push for similar measures in London?

"and the push for similar measures in London?"

They're laughed at in NYC as in London. Only a small minority of hate blogs spew the conspiracy theories, and cherished by a few radical Americans incessantly jealous of the European way of life. As I've said a million times, the muslims can't even live together without killing each other, let alone imposing their demented flat-earth mentality on us...

The ones that don't drink, dance or have pre-martial sex (with a women or thier hand) because of a single sentence in the bible.

"To engage in any activity which produces lewd emotions or excites unlawful sexual desire is "lasciviousness" and stands condemned by God. (Galatians 5:19-21)."

Could you imagine a having a party with the Saudi clerics and Christian fundamentalist, fun times all around. Makes me glad to live in the country that I do.

Hardline clerics are a lot like Malachai from the movie Children of the Corn... "but they had the games and the music" Religeon can be an ok thing if it gets you through the day but when religeon's purpose is to suck the joy out of life we have a problem. Personally, I'm gonna have another drink and put on a little Lou Reed. Remember if these guys are going to heaven than hell is gonna be where the party's at.

Whatever the religion the extremists more or less amount to the same thing, damaged people & damaged people see the world through a damaged mind, we should pity them or shoot them, putting them out of our misery.

I wonder to what degree any of us would be in the least bit interested in these people if their country didn’t have oil? But then they know that & knowing that they feel that they do some power.
