Muslims themselves have done so many translations of Quran that they have divisions among them becuase of the translations. Showing particular islamic verses, by pikcing up literal meaning, not considering the circumtances, the environment and era, is not helping anyone, rather creating more problems. I agree the vedios shouldnt be removed or account shouldn’t be suspended by you tube but i wonder what purpose these things serve, when they are not authentic?

Thanks

Rooth says "Am I missing something or do all sacred texts get used as excuses for all kinds of bad behavior?"

All organized societies based on a concept of any kind of unity tend to have extremist within them. Do religious text primarily get abused by fascists/extremists/nihilists? No, because the moral fulcrum of any society requires that these above mentioned folk not get the respect that is accorded to the productive members of society. I think, the arguments that religion is evil is specious at best. Of course, no personal disrespect is intended for your opinion.

"Your boy's a war criminal and a mass murderer."

Suggested reading, "The Looking Tower" by Lawrence Wright.

The enemy is concentrating it's forces in Iraq and our bravest are taking the brunt for us. Author Wright points out quite nicely how embeded cells here are stalled while the war is taken to Arab ground. Obviously this war effort is lost on the majority of the "vocal" community.

In the alternative, Rooth maybe you will look good in a Burka, don't know.

the youtube blog may be talking political youtube accounts getting banned, which are probably repeat offenders.

In fact, Youtube DOES contain some seriously antisemitic material – and some of it is objectively far worse than what has been described, because it is demonstrably false. Not /misleading/ but /false/.

Mike said: "Google's sensitivities towards China and Muslims would be commendable if they applied the same censorship criteria to the way President Bush and our own government is characterized on the sites.
Don't offend the Chinese and Islamic extemists but go ahead and blast our own President in a time of war?"

Mike, I know it's hard for some Bush Cultists to understand this, but really, insulting Bush - even ripping him a new one - does not equal insulting someone's religion.

I know there are a lot of Bush Cultists who want to equate criticism of Bush with sacrilege, but it's not. Bush isn't the Second or any other Coming, he is not here because a wrathful Old Testament God wants him to start WWIII, or bring on Armegeddon. He's the worst, most dangerous president we've ever had. He deserves more criticism than he gets. He deserves a trial in the Hague.

It's also a favorite Catch 22 from the extreme right-wing to say we shouldn't "blast" Bush because we're in a war. How convenient, since Bush is the only reason we're involved in this illegal war against a country which did not and could not attack us, saying that the war he started is reason for squelching all criticism of him works only to benefit - Bush! My, isn't that just about as handy as a pocket on a shirt.

We're in this war for one reason and one reason only; because the Bush Administration wanted it. They lied to get their way and hundreds of thousands are dead because of it. The people behind 9/11 are still free and Bush isn't even trying to catch them. And now he wants another war in Iran.

Support him until he ruins this country, that's your right. But don't expect silence from the rest of us. Your boy's a war criminal and a mass murderer.
