Neutrinos, Fox News Victim Card and Some Religion

Neutrinos: no, they don’t move faster than the speed of light. New experimental evidence is in.

Remember the FFF “hey lapsed or liberal Catholic: why don’t you leave the Church” ad that appeared in the New York Times? A similar “why don’t you leave Islam” ad was rejected by the Times.

Will it be religious freedom, freedom of speech, or back to the Dark Ages? Do you choose women and their rights, or imams and their wrongs? Whose side are you on?

In light of the ongoing, ruthless, international jihad against non-Muslims, the 1,400-year record of institutionalized oppression of women, the 18,560 Islamic attacks across the world since 9/11, and the endangering of free peoples across the world, if you’re part of the Islamic jihad, you’re part of the problem.

Why are you aiding and abetting Islamic leaders who have repeatedly and publicly announced a jihad to subjugate Christians, Jews, Hindus, and all non-Muslims, and to deny the rights of all women everywhere, Muslim or not?

Think of the acute misery, poverty, needless suffering, social evils and deaths that can be laid directly at the door of the Islam’s antiquated doctrine that commands jihad and genocide.

If you imagine you can change the mosque from within — get it to lighten up on Jew-hatred, hatred of women, hatred of non-Muslims, hatred of gays — you are deluding yourself. If you remain a “good Muslim,” you are doing “bad” to the rights of women and non-Muslims everywhere. You’re kidding yourself if you think the mosque is ever going to expunge the Qur’an of its violent texts that inspire jihad, or interpret them out of existence.

Your mosque hysterically claims that freedom of speech and the truth about jihad and Islamic supremacism are “an assault against Islam.” You are savvy enough to realize that the real assault is by the mosque against human rights. A captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood declares that its goal in the U.S. is “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house.” Is that an agenda you endorse?

Obama has compromised, but Islam never budges. Instead, it is fully embarked upon a stealth jihad, using the Justice Department to force businesses and educational institutions to accommodate Islamic law — the same Islamic law that denies the freedom of speech, mandates death for apostates, and oppresses women and non-Muslims.

Why put up with an institution that dehumanizes women and non-Muslims — fully 9/10ths of humanity? Ask your imam: Does he support Hamas? Hizb’Allah? The destruction of Israel? Does he condemn the slaughter of Christians in Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq, etc. Does he vocally denounce Islamic honor killings, FGM, forced marriages, child marriage, polygamy? As a “moderate” Muslim, you tell yourself and the world that you have chucked out the violent doctrine and hateful, oppressive decrees of your religion, and yet you keep identifying with the ideology that threatens liberty for women and menaces freedom by slaughtering, oppressing and subjugating non-Muslims.

There is a more welcoming home for you!

Join those of us who put humanity above the vengeful, hateful and violent teachings of Islam’s “prophet.”

As a member of the “umma,” of an avowedly hateful, supremacist, and antidemocratic club, isn’t it time you vote with your feet? Please, exit en mosque.

The reason given: the ad, according to the Times, might put our troops in danger. In other words, backwards people who will riot when the hear stuff that they don’t like in effect have a veto over what we say?

Also from Friendly Atheist: a collection of various atheist posters and billboards.

Personally, I prefer the ones aimed at those who are already skeptical: “have doubts? You aren’t alone”, etc.

But one thing to consider: yes, young people are leaving churches. But the primary reason is NOT atheists (“New Atheists” or otherwise). Here is a blog post from a Christian blog on this topic.

My whole point of talking about these topics: I am not really out to convert anyone, per se. What I want is: I’d like to see religious myths taken out of public policy and science! I don’t want people thinking that some deity will protect us from the consequences of climate change or driving public policy decisions.

I sometimes talk about the intellectual aspects and what makes sense to me…and about what doesn’t make sense to me. But that isn’t about converting anyone else.

Fox News: victims. Jon Stewart says STFU.
