    One could be a communist and worship the lucky charms leprechaun or the tooth fairy.
    The point is that we have a poster on here that has declared this to be a Christian fire bomb with absolutely no evidence to back their claim.

    Fair chance of it being anti-Israel too. I mentioned Charlie Hebdo earlier, no way will Netflix go near saying ANYTHING bad about Islam. Best case scenario would be Illhan Omar howling at the moon about them, worst case is Netflix HQ becomes a smoking crater. But Christian and Israel bashing is pretty much fair game. It's why I'm wondering if this petition is actually real; possibly some kind of Bizarro PR stunt Netflix itself started up? We know what happened with Salman Rushdie.

    But I'm on Christmas Break, I have the time to give it a spin, see if it's any good.

    Your support of executing innocent babies who played no part in holding on the Jewish population in Egypt only because of their ethnic background is duly noted. On the bright side... if there is a God, and it's a Jewish one, you would be on his good side.

    The motives behind 911 is not Islam. It was about the unwanted western influence in the ME. And there was no Muslim support for Charlie Hebdo. So you know... it probably will disappoint the west too much to make it interesting.

    You mean BESIDES the Muslims who participated in the attack on Hebdo?

    And while there were Muslims condemning it after the fact - there were also some praising it. Because I'm lazy, I'll just post THIS and let you have a once-over on it. Basically, saying there was NO Muslim support of the attack is - well, wrong. There was.

    Bottom line though, is that I doubt Netflix will say anything seriously disparaging about Muslims or Islam. I could be wrong though. As I said, I'll give it a look.

    For the record:

    My Dearborn Girls are looking forward to watching it, and aren't buying into the Anti-Netflix Hype.

    My position is that God is the onevand only judge of what is good or bad. I trust that God has the big picture in mind and is doing what is right. If God says I'm killing all the first born men of Egypt i trust that He is doing the right thing even if my human pea brain doesn't understand how that could possibly be.
    God is infinitely wiser than the wisest human in history. No human has the legitimate right to question what God does.

    that "besides" is like 0,001% of the Muslim population.

    There is also support for the deaths of US soldiers in the US by Christians because of the gay rights.

    Sounds more like you're disappointed that 99.999% of the Muslims got a different view, than the view you are focusing on.

    Look HERE to see where terrorist support appears among countries with large amounts of Muslims. Fourteen years ago, I know. Maybe some of them have smartened up. Probably not enough though.

    Citation needed. Also, I'm not seeing large swaths of said Christians actually DOING anything about it, not to the degree that we've seen Muslims strapping on suicide vests and all.

    Well, I see the number as a lot lower per the link above. But I'd be gratified if they'd join us in the 21st century. My disappointment is with the large numbers that still feel violence is necessary when the prophet is even marginally mocked. You didn't see mass destruction by Christians when some slacker put a crucifix in a jar of urine and passed that off as art decades ago.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church
    Westboro picketed with banners saying "God hates ****" and "Thank God for dead soldiers" at the Westminster, Maryland, funeral of Matthew Snyder, a U.S. Marine who was also killed in Iraq

    And you're totally over exaggerating the amount of Muslims strapping on a suicide vest in order to make that argument of your happen. It's fake. We all know it.
    Christian/Jewish America still widely support violence against civilians themselves.
    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...-opinions-have-shifted-on-use-of-atomic-bomb/

    There is also a wide support for Israel violently oppressing and ethnic cleansing the Palestinians.
    That has a direct link to hard core Christian religious believes in who should get what land.

    The Jew God is fake as well. Congrats of having even more things in common.

    Ah, WBC - I'd totally forgotten about that group of wierdos. One of the few threads I ever started here was on them. Yeah, you won't find me defending that group save to say that as offensive as they are - and they are offensive at just about any level - AFAIK they haven't started blowing up buses. If Netflix did a show on them, they'd send protestders, sure - but as a physical threat, not so much.

    I'll say it again: Charlie Hebdo. The threat ain't fake at all. And there's plenty of Muslim fanatics out there willing to make it happen. Now, most of them won't be in the US - but you never know. I mean, isn't it funny how you can criticize Christians and Jews here (and many times that mockery is deserved BTW) but Muslims - wow, no one seems to do it much? You';d almost think that two of the three religions I just listed don't have a history of retributive violence in recent history when it comes to mocking their religion.

    I think ending a war with the US that Japan started is not exactly equivalent to terrorism. Apples =/= oranges.

    I started typing a response to this then realized I would be going over a page and doing several walls of text. I think I'll pass on answering this one for everyone's benefit.

    In any event, I'll stand by my assertion that Netflix will likely NOT do anything that will offend Muslims - if only because they like breathing. But hey - I could be wrong.

    There is wild support for Israel, military, to violently oppress Palestinians. It has everything to do with firm conservative Christian believe that the Jew must get the land that God has promised them. The amount of civilians killed by that aid is staggering.


    There are like 1.5 or 1.7 billion Muslims in the world. And in no way at all is there some massive % of them trying to kill people over that.

    Getting civilians killed on purpose is getting civilians killed on purpose. Do note. The US also build Japanese towns in the US to experiment how to firebomb them as efficient as possible. And so the Americans did that to the Japanese civilians... in about 80 cities. And than they started nuking entire civilian cities. That's indeed not really comparable to a suicide vest being used on a market,... which is just a tiny place compared to a city. The comparison is just though. The US is simply far worse. American civilians still support massacring civilians, fast majority do.

    Far more likely that they don't want to be known as a white nationalist network.

    1) There's also wild support amongst Muslims to help drive Israel and the Jews into the sea. Works both ways there.

    2) The thing is, given the numbers I gave you, even assume the lowball number of 10% amongst all those Muslims that approve of terrorism as an acceptable way of dealing with other nations, you got 150 - 70 million people out there that can be pretty dangerous, and they're everywhere. And that's a lowball number.

    3) There's still differing circumstances between terrorists going OUT of their way to target civilians in an undeclared war and a situation where the military feared massive kamikaze runs against their own forces much less the huge casualities facing them if they stormed Japan itself - PLUS the fact that Hiroshima was a real military target. There were factories and other facilities there. Nagasaki was hit only because the target that time, Kokura which did have a pretty big arms and chemical weapons presence, was covered with clouds and so Nagasaki - which also was a major shipbuilding city and had a large military port - was chosen.

    4) I rather doubt that will ever happen.

    If you're going to claim it was divine justice that 6 million Jews had to be starved/gassed to death by their own God, than you go boy.

    There was never such a support until the Christians west pushed mass immigration of millions of foreign Jewish immigrants on the lands of Arabs and take over control. It would be the equivalent of the US being made to accept 1 billion Chinese and them taking over the country and blame any resistance on white nationalism.

    That doesn't come close to 56% of the US still supporting massacring civilians through nuclear bombing. Weren't Americans called baby killers some decades later?

    There are no different circumstances when you're aiming to kill as many civilians as possible.

    Because they don't want to be a white nationalist network.
    No doubt that will kind of make way too people go to Disney+

    So where was the Jew god when his Jews were being massacred by the millions? Total joke to still think it's real.
