What Was She Thinking?!

Someone hold my drink while I climb down off my soapbox.

All Fired Up

, , , ,

I'm not a religious person, but I believe in YOUR right to worship as you choose. To destroy a building like this, in the name of God, Allah, Mickey Mouse or George Bush, is just incredible to me. This is the kind of animalistic behavior that should be stopped. And these people want that land for themselves? For what? So they can burn it to the fricking ground?

More puzzling is the light sentences that several young men were given for the burning of a MOSQUE in Nis that same year (2004). The Muslim community was outraged over that. Let's review: Burning a MOSQUE? Bad. Burning a CHURCH? Hunky-fucking dory.



Just to show you the beauty of these sacred buildings, here are some photographs of various churches, mosques and temples around the world.

It's not just the mosque. When the whole dispute about Kosovo began, people destroyed a bakery which was a property of an Albanian. And that wasn’t a single act of hate...It happened all over the country. You live with a person for years, and one day you decide to ruin everything he has built throughout the years just because he’s a Moslem and you don’t want him here anymore. It made me sad to see that people can be like that.
