Yes, the voice of the people sure is awful huh?
stick with your elitist article worship

Imagine that.

that nice piece at 0.25

With a down vote ratio of nearly 7:1 it would seem that consensus disagrees.
Why is it the racist democrats are always race baiting? Hmm maybe as a party dems depend on racism as political capital. Makes ya think don't it?

this is dumb, and I'm probably one of the more vocal folks on saying islam is a terrible ideology, but the idea's expressed in that vid are untenable.

It calls for the state to pick and choose religions and ban people from practicing their faith. As much as I think islam sucks, I think people are entitled to believe in whatever wacky shit floats their boat providing they are not trespassing another.
When you persecute a minorities religion it has the opposite effect of making them more reasonable, they then are justified in lashing out against this oppression, many will use violence.
It calls for the state to decide how free adults can come together into relationships of their choosing, and how many kids they can have.
If the video had what it wanted and there was no more islam, I still dont see it impacting welfare/social benefits. When you subsidize something with handouts and free-rides you get more of it, thats human nature, religion doesnt change this equation.
Some of the terrorism that has taken place isnt because of Islamic fundamentalism but rather a direct respone for some of the western worlds geopolitics and blowback for miltary actions for corporate profits and hegemony (ie the gold dinar and libya).
People would still likely be largely manipulated by fear even if Islam did not exist, that's how the sheeple are prodded, there would just be a different boogyman. "Hegelian dialectic" in action.

Halal is inhumane compared to the western method of captive bolt slaughter, at least for larger animals.

What exactly is it that you're referring to when talking about Hegel and dialectics?

The sentence on manipulation by fear tactics.

I know you're a philosophy buff so correct me if I have it wrong, but surely either creating a problem, or focusing/exaggerating the scope on it excessively to then sway public opinion for the goals of state seem pretty clear cut in my eyes. The Patriot act , the first assualt rifle ban, WMD's, tranny's in bathrooms, or mentioning terror 9/11 in every other sentence by out govt leadership to gin up support for elections and policy. (more of a post 9/11 thing then recently)
