Radical Islam spreads to the Balkans

[QUOTE="MrPraline"][QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]I think it's OK. Probably 'its own' would be less clumsy, but idk. I can very reliably tell when a sentence is ungrammatical, but I can never really explain why.Funky_Llama

It should end their really. sayyy-gaa

Why do people call that area the Balkans. Why give them a collective term, they're all very different. Slavs, Greeks and Albanians shouldn't be grouped into one collective noun.BigBoss255

"Men are in charge of women, as Allah has given them more (strength) than the other, and because they spend of their wealth (to provide for them). Therefore women who are virtuous are obedient to God, and guard in (the husbands) absence what God would have them guard. As for those women on whose part you fear rebellion (nushuz), admonish them and banish them to beds apart, (and last) beat them. Then, if they obey you, seek not a way against them. For God is Most High, Great (above you all)." - Qur'an 4:34

Muhammad was such a feminist, guys. Clearly Islam is a good religion.

Why do they need a collective identity?. They're not the same people. Do Mexicans and Americans have a collective identity?. BigBoss255

...including atheism. Oh, "atheism isn't a religion"...well then tell your people to stop treating it like one, and keep it to themselves.the_plan_man

Reading those comments makes me wonder who the real bloodthirsty people are.NoSpeakyEnglish

Banning the building of minarets is stupid and something I would expect from Southern parts of the U.S. to do. NoSpeakyEnglish

Yeah, so people need to stop treating it like one. It's kind of ridiculous how pre-occupied people are with their disbelief, and how hell-bent they are about shoving it down our throats.the_plan_man

[QUOTE="Zeviander"][QUOTE="themajormayor"]Is long hair a hair color?themajormayor

Your analogy doesn't make sense. If bald, absence of hair, is equivalent to atheism then the presence of hair should be equivalent to theism. Neither of which are hair colors, but both are hair styles yes.themajormayor

[QUOTE="themajormayor"]

[QUOTE="Zeviander"] Obviously not. But I'm not grasping the complexity of your analogy.alexside1

What would hair color beequivalent to in his analogy?

Bald is a hair color like atheism is a belief. One does not "have" a hair color when bald, much like they do not "have" a belief when atheist.

ok so you don't believe there is no God?
