    Default What do we do about a people so sick that they celebrate a massacre in the name of their religion?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/685792.stm

    Militant Jews have gathered at the grave of Baruch Goldstein to celebrate the sixth anniversary of his massacre of Muslim worshippers in Hebron.
    It's really sad what religion can do.

    Please provide some information from the source. A brief summary would be great! - imb39

    Yes, could you please find me another site that has these news? As frankly, i've searched and the news are only at BBC. Kinda strange, no?

    Not really. It's ten years old. But the BBC is reliable, and no unreliable article would stay up for a decade.

    It's a known fact that the BBC has been posting arcticles about Israel that are edited extremely to the side of what they think and not what they heard. A lot of articles about Israel in the BBC were heard ONLY in the BBC, and not even in Israel itself.

    Same thing we do with radical muslims. (in reguard to the thread title)

    But seriously, religion is the weak link of humanity.

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    Okay Captain Conspiracy, whatever you say.

    Israel had to tear down a shrine that had been built around this murderer's grave. No point in pretending this is the invention of some dark plot.

    Goldshtein may have massacred the worshippers, but made up stories that people in Israel are dancing around the graves of the worshipers is simply...extreme. I return to my first question, can someone give me a link to another site other then the BBC that has these news on it? I bet no one can.

    That's not even what the article says. I don't think there's much point in debating its veracity if you don't even take the time to read it.

    I've read it, I'm giving an example of what this usualy wents to. At first, it's a person coming to Goldshtein's grave to just visit it, and the next moment there's an article on BBC that jews are celebrating on the blood of dead muslim worshippers. That's the way the BBC writes on Israeli actions.

    Altho I believe in a higher being, it is more along the lines of a higher intellect from space (heaven?).

    About the time I got to college I came to the conclusion that there had been more death and misery inflicted in the name of "God" by mankind than any other reason. So I swore off organized religeon.

    Events since then have done nothing but confirm my original thoughts....that ANY man (yes, even Muhammid or Jesus) will interpret God's will in ways that are favorable to his own agenda, compromised by all the basic foibles of humanity....greed, hate, lust.

    Since this isn't current news, this is better off in the Academy.

    Oh no! Jewish hate!
    Please tell me when was the last time there was a Jewish hate-crime outside of Israel? Never?
    I cant say the same thing about Muslims. Even in Israel, the worst fanatic's (the settlers) don't even come close to Muslim extremists. So please stop this foolishness.

    All religions are bad, no need to concentrate on just one.

    What did I say about random videos? You must expand when posting things.

    Edit: That's better.

    Um, you'll find that they do come close to the Muslims, given their history of shooting random Palestinians and violently hounding them out of areas...

    But it isn't just Judaism or just Islam or just Buddhism or just Hinduism or just Sikhism et cetera. Every religion has a dark side.
