Let's break it down and see what you just said:

your disgusting conduct

To what disgusting conduct are you referring?


Well its complicated isn’t it.

This particular instance involves an article published to mock some extreme group of religious authorities who ordered something …. ‘Extreme’ in their part of the world. This article, referencing this relatively obscure, over reactive and extreme position of some self righteous sheik has been bolstered repeatedly by your little band. We could ask why but we don’t really need to do we now.

Could it be so that the information about the 10 million estimated Muslim neighbors in North America gets out, so PETA can run a campaign to protect North American goats? Well, I wouldn’t be shocked to see you all promoting such ludicrousness. But it wouldn’t be out of your concern for animal rights would it. Nahhh, It’d be another disingenuous ploy to incite hatred toward your Muslim neighbors. That is all this goat thing amounts to and you know it. Its where most of your efforts on the cult thread are focused … and this is no different.

Being informed is disgusting? Absolutely not. What you all are doing is different, even the opposite of informing. You are taking information that may be founded on a grain of truth and twisting it into falsehood with the goal of persecuting millions of innocent people, some of them your neighbors.

Do you have an issue with reliable news reports? Why would such news reports be so troubling for you?

News of horrific or unjust circumstances in the world always troubles me. It seems to titillate you all in your zeal for persecution.

Would you prefer censorship?

Of course not. I would, however, prefer rational discourse with considerate persons, over the wallowing in extremist propaganda that I see on your cult thread.

Maybe so...

You are wrong and you probably know it.

”and considering the content of those news reports, I can understand why you find them "disgusting" and would prefer to hide from them...

The content of articles on the cult thread are sometimes very revealing of events or circumstances in the world... events and circumstances that I find totally unacceptable. With regards to most of it, I have been a staunch and outspoken critic of those types of events and circumstances for many years. In three D life as well as here.

” we haven't invented a label

We? Are you more than one person? Or do you refer to yourself in the plural? Who is WE? Are you identifying yourself as a part of a group? Now, this would make sense, but what group are you? Considering your repulsed reaction to those reports, are you speaking on behalf of moslums, perhaps?


I am a member of humanity. Unlike you biased extremists I don’t need an artificial exclusive identity for confidence. I merely base my perspectives on the principles of common human decency. We, in this case being a reference to decent human beings.

Inquiring minds want to know...

That pretty much fits my view or your group. A sensationalistic cult that thrives on twisting facts to incite some sort of bizarre emotional reaction in one another.

A Paranoid Schizophrenic phsyco (sic) who wallows in perversity

Hmmm, interesting, a clinical term... are you describing yourself here? Frankly, by your own response to those news reports, ….


You are mistaken … again. I’ve not responded to the post in question at all. I have responded to the conduct of those who are promoting the behavior of beastiality as being representative of Muslims. I find the information in the reports to be somewhat revealing of how extreme and odd religious authority can get. Somewhat reminiscent of the dark ages mentality. You might want to check out a history of shepherding. I did a report on it for high school many decades ago. As a teen I was shocked by this particular wrinkle. The references I had access to at the time were written by western historians, who were documenting western practices. The basic facts of the story are probably true. That is not shocking to me,I see extremely odd behavior from those who think they represent extremist authority almost daily … yours for example.

Well, anyway, nice chatting with you, but I have more important things to do now right now... hopefully, later on we could continue...

You are welcome.
