Elerond Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I would guess it because that is how right-wing media in USA has pictured Sweden and some people in EU use that is as joke or ammunition depending on their political views. Like for example http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/04/20/self-loathing-sweden-should-only-welcome-persecuted-immigrants-not-the-persecuting/ In Finland I haven't seen such behavior, but Finland has long standing tradition to tease and mock Sweden for everything so we aren't influenced by others in that sector that much because they are usually far behind us anyway with their jokes and teases. But to actually answer your question I don't know and I am not sure if they even say such thing in any meaningful amounts outside of internet forums where it can be used to strengthen some individuals own political views. I read that link about Sweden, surly that can't be right....it makes it out like Sweden is some barbaric land? It looks thing from very single minded perspective that cause it to interpret things so that they fit article's writers and publication's political views. Meaning that it is very typical Breitbart article and you should not believe anything that you can#t confirm from other sources. But Sweden is barbaric land, every Finn will tell you that is the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qistina Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) But like i mentioned, the media refuse to call them HERETIC but instead "extremist Islam", "fundementalist Islam", while actually they really is HERETIC. Don't you guys see the hidden agenda here? Even Arabs 1437 years ago didn't look like that. You know how Arabs look like 1437 years ago? They look like mix Roman and Persian. They are NOTHING like those pictures above. They are nothing like this...WTF is this? Now this is Palestinian Arab woman in 1930 BEFORE the creation of Saudi Arabia, so we can guess how Arabs look like back then at least...

Elerond Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Calling religions or things related to religions heretic or heresy is thing that has become socially unacceptable in many western countries, because of long history of burning and other wise killing people that had different view on some religious matters. Also there have been lots of wars and massacres that were justified by other side's claimed heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qistina Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I see, that is because you western people generalize everything is the same like you. Atheists especially, your measuring stick is Christianity, your view about all religions based on your view about Christianity That's how you set values, you compared all things with your western measuring stick.

Qistina Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Now i understand, that's what really happen, you see all religions as you see Christianity in Europe/West...that's how you judge everything, you are the center of the world, everything must be as according to your own values and views You see Christian Europe is like this and like that, and so all religion in all other places in the world are like Christianity in Europe. You see your own history is like this and like that, so history of all other races in the world must be compared with your own, and all must follow or as according to your values You see your own nation is like this and like that, so all other nations is compared as according to your understanding about how a nation should be based on your own nation. I see that now....and see, knowing languages make us understand our "enemy"..... Edited November 24, 2015 by Qistina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 What i am trying to say is, just because there are many Syrian refugees in Europe now, doesn't mean they are like those hooligans, there are many Christian Syrians too, they are orthodox mind you. But western media play fear mongering. When Muslims do bad things, the media will attribute it to Islam and all Muslims. let say there are bombings in Europe, the first thing that come out is "Islam" and Syrian refugees will be blamed. Syrian and Saudi are two dfferent race anyway, not the same stock of people. Muslims are of different races, we have different values, we have different agendas. Just because those heretics doing whatever they are doing, doesn't mean they represent Islam. And there is no such thing as liberal, moderate and extremist Islam. There is only Islam. It just non-heretic and heretical Islam. Okay now you have made me remember a real criticism I have of the Muslim world ...I hope you can answer Why is the Muslim world fine with the fact that the EU is taking in about 2 million Syrian Muslims. Why should the EU be taking in any Syrians? How many refugees is Malaysia taking in? Countries like Saudi Arabia are taking in none ...none. Yet the Muslim world is fine with these Syrians going to leave there home in the ME and going to a Christian country?And we know that many Muslims have issues with the EU ....yet obviously these issues aren't enough to want to help the Syrians I explained earlier that one of the reasons that makes the West the most dominant ideology in the world is it believes in human rights...this a good example of that @ Qistina We appreciate you telling us how we feel about things but can you answer this post?

Atheists especially, your measuring stick is Christianity, your view about all religions based on your view about Christianity That's how you set values, you compared all things with your western measuring stick. In this case it isn't Christianity precisely but history of our cultures and laws and social changes that are happened and attitude change where people have stopped to care specifics of other people's religious views and grown attitude that asking specifics of other people's religious views is impolite. This is created culture where quite few people care what are religious views of others in our countries let alone religious views of outsiders. Usually only times when people start to care religious views are when somebody tries to force their religious views to others. This is attitude that is common withing everybody regardless of their religious background. I personally had partial religious upbringing where everybody that didn't believe as those that taught me were heretics, although at that time worst offenders of heresy were those in other Christian religions especially Catholicism and religions with Christian origins like Jehovah's Witnesses and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), because they should have know better and Muslims for example were seen as people that just didn't know better and should be saved to mercy of the Christ. But anyway everybody measures things by their own background because that is only thing that people can use as measure stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
