The video was just a release of energy to a very long fuse that has been burning.
And those muslims with the placard are probably about 1-2% of all muslims living in Sydney, but the media strive to put them in the headlights to rally up people just like you, to make stupid comments just like yours. Actually my original post is concerned towards peoplejust like you. -

On another note Commander of hermits, just because something is happening thousands of miles away doesn't mean its not happening. People don't just take to the streets because they had nothing to do that day. I'm not condoning those grotesc placards, but the frustration expressed by the muslim world cannot be ignored. You can go back to sleep now.

MortZAA, as an American Muslim, I truly appreciate the objectivity of your point of view. As I'm sure you did, people must do their homework by means of reading/research to truly understand the underlying issues of contemporary Islam and its misinterpretation by the Media. The world needs more individuals like yourself who take initiative to ascertain the facts; rather than the media's brief, biased portrayals that everyone buys into. People like Commander Jim need to acknowledge this obligation to read between the lines, or ignorance will only continue to plague us as a society.
As for the film's portrayal, I think you have a point about the connotations that such scenarios imply, though I don't think its necessarily problematic. Directors and producers have the difficult task of portraying context in addition to the plot of the story within a 2 hour time frame. For the sake of imagery and time constraint, I feel many stereotypes are used to enable the masses to comprehend the context of the film as the plot continues to develop. -

okay that does it . I am a muslim and I live in Pakistan and don't make someone stupid .mortzaa is a muslim name and no you are not white . you are one of us . secondly drone attacks killing innocent people ? those drone strikes killed baithullah mahshud and countless other terrorists the one who is responsible for killing thousand of Pakistanis. before baithuallah mehsud was killed , we had around 10 suicide attacks per week . after that person got killed we have less suicide attacks . so if you still think innocent people die in drone attacks than shoot yourself in the head . fourthly if you are going to whine about madrassas being shown as terrorists nurseries . most of the madrassas that run on Saudi funded money are responsible for upbringing hate against humanity and not even only humanity but against muslims as a whole .

drone attacks kill more innocent people than they do terrorists.
And not only does hollywood portray the call of prayer and muslims with the bad guys in their movies so does the Bollywood in a huge number of their movies. Even though a lot of muslims live in India.

One silly amateur youtube video sent the whole muslim world into an orgy of rioting and murder.
The fact you think the whole muslim world went crazy is because that's how the media presented it. 1 million people demonstrated responded out of 1.5 billion muslims but the "whole" muslim world went into an uproar. Your the average joe who is getting persuaded by images/movies like this. -

read it all,or don't bother reading the first lines.
let say everyone in this world died .
and only you -let say your a man- and 1 man and 1 girl left on this earth.
we ask the two guys
is raping others ok?
you said no.
the other one is a Rapist and he says yes.
so
third of the world think rape is fine
do we let them do it because they think its fine?
is it ok if you tide up the Rapist?
no you cant do that
why no?
the Rapist born and lived his whole life between others just like him -Rapists- .
you think he will understand your point of view ?
to him your just an as***le who is trying to take his "freedom" away.
so, no you cant do that,just because he have a diffident lifestyle.
so what would you do?
1-tie him up.
2-let him rape the girl.
I don't know what would you do.
but even if you don't understand my point of view for the action I would do ,I'll always tie you up. -

Why don't you go and live in an Arab country then, you Arab-lover!
You call Americans "milkshake-loving"? How about you "tea-drinking" Poms!
Let's face it. The UK have never forgiven the U.S. for becoming independent from them, and becoming even more powerful than the U.K. ever was! -
MortZAA — 13 years ago(October 23, 2012 12:50 PM)
Dick Henderson - you make no sense.
Arab Lover? well yeh, Arab / Anglo / Persian .Humanity. Apart from mongloids like you.
You sound too stupid to reply back too but Ill give it a go. My point about the milkshake loving America was in reference to the end scene where Liam Neeson and his family are drinking milkshake, portraying life back in the civilised word after killing a bunch of pesky Muslims. Didnt that scene make you want to Vomit? Or were you too busy tugging one off over Liam Neeson and his 9mm.
I just wrote all that while drinking some fine Yorkshire tea (of the gold variety) do you even know what POM stands for? I hope I made you google that.
Thanks to ignorant morons like you it only emboldens my argument.
But no you're right, all this stems from the American war for independence. I definitely sound like an imperialistic pig still living in the past. Man i wish i could decide who i vote in as president by watching t.v commercials.
P.S. The U.K's doing just fine without you. -
d_henderson1810 — 13 years ago(October 25, 2012 12:51 AM)
First of all, my name's not Dick, but you obviously like acting like one!
As for the end scene, I think the movie should have ended with Neeson holding Lennie after he had just killed the bad guy. I did actually feel that the final scene was necessary (unless the boyfriend turns out to be another son of the baddie in Taken 3).
Also, I was not tugging one off over Liam Neeson, rather the daughter, who cut a fine figure in the bikini she wore for half the movie.
You are one angry Pom, aren't you!
The fact that you Poms bash America all the time makes me think that, yes, you are pissed off about the American war of independence. Why else would it be?
Look, you come across like a loser, putting down people who don't agree with you. You come across as a mean person in your comments. -

Why the anti-British rhetoric? You think this person speaks for the entire UK? He/she clearly has some warped left wing agenda that almost nobody I know in the UK believes in.
As of today, 435 British soldiers have so far been killed in operations in Afghanistan fighting a war against Islamic fundamentalists. Do you think the friends and families of those troops are all sitting here shouting abuse at Americans? Of course not, we're on your side. Oh, and the war if independence, nobody cares. Honestly.
As for crying about being cast as the villain in Hollywood movies (to the OP), well for years the bad guy would almost always be British. Why? Partly down to colonial history, but largely because we were the only ones who didn't seem to mind. It's a movie. Get over it. -
MortZAA — 13 years ago(October 27, 2012 06:28 AM)
Yes but Hollywoods portrayal of a British Villain was pretty comical. You could quite easily take it with a pinch of salt. There weren't exactly mindless groups going around burning down tea-shops.
What we have is the constant anti Islamic demonstrations by people who are obviously confused and don't have a grasp on the real world. To say this isn't a growing problems you would be delusional, believe me I'm currently experiencing it. These idiotic movies DO NOT HELP. This is a growing problem and its not being addressed. beep going to go down and this isn't about taking sides - but having respect and a better understanding for a people and faith with which the majority know nothing about. Only the constant negativity in which we're spoon fed.
Can we also please move off the history lesson of war. Thats not what this discussion is about. If your still confused then please refer to original post. -

Something I've noticed about decent people is that faith has little to do with their life, they expect no one else to accept their primitive beliefs and just move about this world in search of some form a fulfillment. Knowledge is pretty easy to obtain these day so if you actually start up a chat with someone from the middle east you'll find that they are fed a similar garbage as us in the U.S. Their T.V. says we hate them and mine tells me that I am supposed to dislike them because of it. Of course authentic, yet ignorant forms of hate spawn from this trickery and that is where we see bloodshed. Trust me, any Middle Easterner would be overjoyed to sit, play video games,go to the cine and not drink irradiated water. The sad thing is that quality does not yet exist there. Remember, mankind was a violent, horrible creature until we created a comfortable life for ourselves. You will note that the entire world is mocking both Islam and Christianity; this is because the intelligent are fed up with both. We have either dismissed out belief in Galactic Giants or settled on the idea that if a GOD does exist, he wants not a groveler but a creature who used all those glorious assets at its disposal such as its brain, eyes and what not to decipher what good and evil is. Quick experiment, stab yourself in you arm with a nearby pen. Did it hurt? Yes? Well you just learned why stabbing a man is wrong. Now did you need a God for that? No? Now grab a 20 dollar bill and torch it. Do you now see why stealing is wrong? You should, it is that easy. Anyone who defies this concept is an animal.
I do not want to regard or respect neither Christians or Muslims (maybe those beyond the age of 60, so they may die in peace), as I do not want to humor a child about the Tooth Fairy. It is time to turn to something a little more human, like the simple want to not see a person suffer. -
