Another kind of activism

[Anthropos]

In another thread it was suggest by someone that ......... oh dear......... how shall I put it .........

I abhor it, personally ......... I condemn the thought of it and I would condemn the act too.



Anyway,

he proclaimed that he would rather fancy burning down a Mosque.

As I said, I abhor it. I think it's a hideous crime.



Do you have a Muslim community in your country?

What do you think the effects would be if it was to surface that a preservationist had burned down a Mosque?

Please reason a bit about it.

There is a small Tatar minority in Finland, who adhere to a more dignified, quiet and civilized form of Islam than the mainstream (unfortunately) does.

The mass media would have a collective multiple orgasm and we would never hear the end of it. Needless to say, I would never support anything like that, even if it did any good, which it would not.

I abhor Mosques being burnt down too. It requires a lot of urine to put the fucking things out.

What if it was made to look like an accident?

lol

But Anthropos question was serious-no I am strongly against such behaving.
We could be enemies as much as we want, but some universal moral ideas and humans values, which are presented in all religion temples should be for respect.

Personally, whilst I very much understand and sympathise with the reasons why people would want to do so, seeing their country swamped and taken over, I think peaceful protest would be more effective - at least on the crucially important propaganda front. A mass sit-in outside a mosque, for example.

I agree that burning them down is not the appropriate way to go.

Spoiler!

Besides, that's what we have wrecking balls for.

Agreed. We can have differences but without respect for one another as fellw human beings who share this planet despite our ideological differences, there is no value left to being in this world.

Places of spiritual significance, be they naturally-occurring or man-made should be respected by all. There used to be a greater modicum of respect in society for certain symbols we all as human beings used to recognise as important, places of spiritual significance used to be one of them....Pity it's all but gone now.
