Oh man I can't watch this on my phone. No Megan Fox though

Good point. I believe the events 9/11 have forever changed the perception of Islam in the West. I hope i don't get in trouble for saying this but, one American lad on Xbox Live said something that I keep remembering; "Muslims are like the new Jews and n1**3rs". Humanity doesn't seem to have learned its lesson from the past.

I know what you are trying to say but its not as simple as that. Firstly, many normal Muslims disassociate themselves with the terrorists as much as normal non-muslims do so it would seem odd or insulting that they have to spell out to everyone that what the terrorists are doing is wrong. A basic knowledge of the Quran would confirm that Islam is a religion of peace. In regards to ratting out wannabe terrorists; I've never actually met anyone in my life that I have thought would be a potential terrorist otherwise I would have reported them or tried to educate them myself. Even the Taliban folk I mention above (the ones I came across), they just seemed to have a disdain for western culture but never anything to suggest they would commit acts of terrorism. If the people who committed the 9/11 attacks were brought before us, we Muslims would kick the living $h@7 out of them more than anyone else for all this b.s we all have had to go through. Then again, saying that, if I met George Bush or the Israeli P.M, I have a feeling my legal license would be revoked. Please just think, think and think again. Don't get swept up in mob rule and sensationalist media headlines.

It's actually so easy I reckon I could make people turn into terrorists. What many of you guys dont understand is that some of these people are not educated in the slightest. In fact, I reckon I can get any of you guys to study the Quran in one day and then compare your Islamic knowledge to a member of the Taliban eho can recite the WHOLE Quran in arabic but not know the meaning of 99% of the verses. I've encountered members of the taliban in Pakistan; many of them have no credible Islamic knowledge at all. I'll give you examples; 1) Many of them believe that a woman is inferior to a man. She should walk (figuratively speaking) 10 steps behind a man. Islam, at its inception was famed for giving equal rights to women but with varying responsibilities. 2) Women not allowed to work or study at schools; you may have seen reports/ documentaries on this about Afghanistan. This is complete nonsense. In the Quran itself it is mentioned that a woman can get a job and IN FACT, unlike the man, she can spend every single penny on herself. The husband/ father cannot do that. 3) The Taliban surrounding the area where one of our houses in Pakistan is situated (near the Afghan border) had this vendetta against people dressed in western clothing including a suit! So you couldn't wear a shirt and tie or people would stonr you etc. I mean wtf? I wish I could take some of you guys to see what things are like from the other perspective. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Unfortunately, it seems only a few hundred can single handedly tarnish all of us. The sad thing is, our Prophet predicted this would happen; from specific references to "black gold" to how there would be many of us Muslims yet we would be killing each other. What more can I say? There are going to be more threads like this whether we like it or not. All I can say is keep an open mind.

Oh just thought I might add; just today a bomb went off right next to my home in Pakistan. Luckily my family were fine but others sadly died. A few weeks ago, i was watching tv with my dad and he was watching his Asian news channel. They were showing a guy who got killed in a terrorist attack. My dad just said, "oh that was my class fellow". Extremism seems to have won by a country mile. I can't even go back to visit my relatives or do my training at this top law firm I was given an offer for. It sucks but I guess I should be grateful I'm not one of the hundreds and thousands of innocents killed or one of our soldiers who have been killed as a result of bull$4!7 wars waged where our supposed leaders enjoy their holidays and sleep comfortably whilst everyone else pays the price. Sad times indeed.

Man we Muslims are always in the firing line, literally and figuratively. Regardless of who you believe was responsible for 9/11, Muslims have suffered more than anyone as a result. There's so much propaganda, hatred and intolerence; its like we're back in 1942, we're the Jews and the West is turning into Germany. I can't even enjoy EID celebrations because I know that the Eid celebration in Pakistan is actually on September 11th and the media (especially The Sun, Daily Mail) are going to have a field day by coming up with some B.S story or focusing on some complete utter prat of a Muslim who is seen to glorify the 9/11 attacks. Sigh...

Crap I've just noticed the link I've posted is the mobile version of the url. I dunno how it will work on your computers but you can copy and paste the bit starting with 'watch'.

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=l6OI6Z48VUE I think this is the video. I'm on my HTC and no WiFi at the moment so takes ages to load the video. Anyways, there is no ground zero mosque. It's media hyperbole. Don't swallow it all wholeheartedly.

It's not actually near ground zero at all. It's a few blocks away and is actually a community centre with baskeball courts, gym etc. Only the top floor is going to be a prayer room. It doesn't even look like a mosque. I'll try and find a YouTube video on it which goes into more detail. Needless to say, its media hype just like the story in this thread.

Lol haha no my girlfriend. She HATES modded cars. She keeps telling me to "higher" my car because its too low. It is lowered by about 100mm.

You're so lucky! If only my other half was like that

No refunds though; although I doubt you will complain unless Abdul messed up the wiring.

Woah that is some serious beard action! Ever thought of joining our brotherhood? You get a free backpack with this red button.100% satisfaction guaranteed.

Yeah same here!

Oh ffs. What a bunch of cocks. This winds me right up. These guys need to get the absolute $h17 kicked out of them. It's the only way they'll learn.

I think I have some under-car neons that I bought ages ago under my bed if you want them? I er...bought them for recreational use...that's all.

Get well soon!

Haha what a great find! Showing everyone in the office now.

Yeah I made thread about the HKS HLS in the Supra technical section. The sound the kit makes when lowering/raising is quite jarring though. I still don't really know how much these kits compromise the handling though. Can't be as bad as air suspension kits mind you.

Nah I work in Harrow mate

The journey to work is usually only 15 minutes max and today it took 45 mins! I drove though but I guess the traffic on the roads is directly a result of the tube strike.

I actually don't remember. You can check the ign review section. It sounds like there is a lot of camping involved but mind you, this is a proper sniping game I assume.

And likewise. And now I shall get involved in a much-less intellectually demanding activity of shooting 12 year old american kids in the face (online of course)

Haha I know its all good. Maybe there is a version of the universe where I'm an atheist in which case, I would no doubt be riddled with multiple STDs

I guess we differ in our beliefs. I just cannot entertain the idea of everything being on giant fluke. It just doesn't fit into my perceptions of the universe and everything around us. I guess we have no choice to agree to disagree. But at least we did it peacefully! See! It can be done on the mkivsupra forums!
