Yeah, that or he realized no one cared about his opinions.

 

That isn't a reason for one to end displaying his own opinion.

[samm]

I think he realized that we already are enlightened, thus his deed was done and all was good

[Guard Dog]

Yeah, the American Government probably silenced him because of the truth that he taught.

I think this is the correct answer. And what opinions they were too. The USA is the source of all evil in the world, George Bush masterminded 9-11, there is no such thing as radical islam, Americans are all evil and the world would be a much better place if we all just went out and shot ourselves. Actually I thought he as an alt for Nur Ab Sal who seemed to believe a lot of the same things.

[samm]

Whose alt is Random Noob again?

[Hurlshort]

Yuusha surprised me in that he really refused to answer any of the questions we posed to him. Also, most of us were willing to agree that Israel and the US deserve a chunk of blame for the problems that plague the Middle East, but he was die hard about putting the entire blame on the Western devils. I'm still waiting for an answer to why more Muslims don't take a stand against suicide bombings and the targeting of civilians.

[Gfted1]

I wouldnt mind knowing the answer to Hurlshot's question.

[Hurlshort]

I wouldnt mind knowing the answer to Hurlshot's question.

 

I don't mean to imply that there aren't plenty of Muslims working to stop terrorism and making it clear that these fundamentalists aren't true Muslims, I'm just surprised that there isn't a widespread movement to end civilian targeting.

[Gfted1]

I got what you meant and Im curious too.

Did you see any widespread movements speaking out against Protestant or Catholic violence in Northern Ireland? I don't think that meant catholics or protestants are terrorists.

 

EDIT: Of course there were anti-terrorism groups on all sides. Just one which campaigns against muslim extremism in the UK is the Quilliam Foundation.

[Guest The Architect]

My answer would be fear. Even though the non terrorist Muslims are in the majority, maybe many of them are afraid that if they spoke out against the terrorists the terrorists would target them and their families, too, because they'd be considered "traitors".

 

And yes, I know this is what I should've said earlier. Even if I hadn't of taken out the joke at least you would've known that it was.

It's certainly true that in general the terrorists spend most of their time terrorising 'their own' people. Compare the figures of US casualties with those for Iraqis or Afghans. Disappearances, 'example' killings, kangaroo courts... similar stuff was done by the IRA. A friend's father had his legs shattered by terrorists for not paying 'the proper respect'. W***ers.

[kirottu]

I will miss Nick I am and Llyranor after they get banned, which should be soon enough.

[taks]

LOL!

 

those two seem to show up in pairs, don't they...

I can vouch that they are in fact two different people though.

Yeah, but they share each others login info so I think Llyr (the more insane of the two) likes to post, then login with Nick's ID and second whatver he wrote originally. Or he argues with himself.

[taks]

oooookkkkkaaaaay. ahem.

 

i could never be accused of seconding my own posts. rarely does anyone agree with me, or vice versa.

 

i would probably be too obvious if i argued with myself, too.

 

taks

[alanschu]

I'm not sure, I think the two of them just like to antagonize each other.

 

Frequently they are both online at the same time (and I'm not talking in Obsidian either)

[Llyranor]

AHAHHA im drunk again, I think. I had some Guiness still at home and decidedto finish it off.

[Nick_i_am]

We're seperate and unique individuals, shut up.

 

p.s. if I actually let Llyranor use my account you'd have all been goatsed a long time ago.

[Tigranes]

They have Internet Forum LAN Parties with eacho ther.

[Rosbjerg]

I'm guessing you guys are twins or something..

 

Evil twins!

[Guest The Architect]

They should stop arguing with each other.

 

Hades chooses you both!

Whose alt is Random Noob again?

 

He's not an alt so much as an account swap.

 

Re Yuusha: I did not like him. He was an extremist.

The frightening thing is that in fact Yuusha was not an extremist.

[random n00b]

Heh, agreed. He was at least willing to discuss his ideas, even if he refused to consider that things may not be as clear cut. That probably makes him a moderate among some of his peers... I think it's sad he quit posting.
