"Islam is like a drug"

[Gerald]

Islam is not a drug, one more to what other religions are, but rather a request that generations have built up over a very long time.

I knew you would be around the way. Have fun!

So believing in a large religious phisoophy is seen as dangerous, but believing in a lagre government is not seen as dangerous?

Both require a narrative and belief to survive.

We shall know that when the lagre nation with its lagrenese government comes to conquer the world.
after of course the jews muslims papacy liberals communists media illegal aliens genuine aliens and the official government have all had their turn at threatening the foundations of society.
Oh yeah thats now isn't it, run and hide the lagres are on the march in september

As much as your post shows the difference between those who believe in individual liberties and your stance that government can resolves all evils and make things better, it requires a government to grow and individuals to decrease.

This nation by idea and Constitution is based on the power/freedom of the individual. To move away from those ideas allows others to place themselves as monarchs/dictators. Those who do not see that are often known as Imperialists.

The rest of your post makes little sense.

For those getting late out of their beds today, just a hint. "Islam is like a drug" is not by me, but it is a quote from the essay and also it's published headline (-> "In a sense, Islam is like a drug, like alcohol. A small amount can have a healing and inspiring effect, but when the believer reaches for the bottle of dogmatic faith in every situation, it gets dangerous." ) . I assume it was too much asked of some smartheads here to at least read that interview before the usual anti-Skybird rants got started. Well, everyone according to his intellectual capacity. I got news for some of you. The interview is not about Skybird at all.

Don't deal with me, but deal with that man and what he says. He knows Islam better than probably you all together. He is Egypt, is Muslim, was raised as a Muslim by a father being a Muslim teacher who wanted him to become a Muslim scholar, lived in a Muslim country before he came to Germany, is educated in Islam, got academic education in the West in politology and other branches - and Skybird has relatively little (nothing to be precise) to do with his statements. Skybird gave some lines on why he disagrees with him and on what, and that he nevertheless can get along with that guy for certain reasons.

Running computers by your own since long, I assume you know what to do with a link and how to click on it, yes...!?

Possible, but you started the thread,

[antikristuseke]

Yes, but that applies to every religion equaly, it even applies to new age pseudo religious crap.

I do not believe in religious pseudofact, nor do I believe anything that a member of a government tells me. In that sense they are similar I guess, they both talk a lot of talk about nothing in particular and avoid answering simple questions in a straight-forward manner.

To correct your spelling though (sorry), Lager has a druglike soporific power that cannot be denied, I do believe in the power (and the danger) of Lager, especially those strong foreign ones. If Carlsberg ran the government... Who knows?

Belittling others doesn't raise yourself. It is too bad you cannot develope an argument.

I am sorry Third Man, I did not mean to belittle you, It was meant as a joke truthfully. I did read the linked interview and found it mildy interesting although I'm sceptical by nature. This man is gaining popularity in high circles, by saying all the right things and I can't help but think maybe he has his own agenda. Like I said, I can't help being suspicious, living in Britain with a British government you know? anyway don't you believe in the power of Lager?

I'd have used the term virus myself, like most religions. One is converted and then tries to convert others, and so forth...
