21st-century-classical-liberal:
A French Muslim woman who continued to wear the full-face veil in defiance of a new law banning it in France have been issued fines by a court.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to France.
France is becoming Communist Russia, Greece is becoming Fascist Germany and America is becoming Totalitarian, well, America. The world is on the brink.
“Freedom of speech means you have to allow idiots to speak, and that’s the unfortunate thing. This guy clearly wanted to create problems,” he continued referring to Nakoula Basseley, the Egyptian immigrant who appears to have masterminded the making of Innocence of Muslims. Clooney added that he saw part of the YouTube video: “It made me mad and I’m not Muslim. It made me mad for the quality of film that it was, more than anything. But the simple truth is that in order to make [democracy] work, the idiots get to have their say, too. And that’s unfortunate.”
Freedom of speech is “unfortunate?”
The First Amendment is “unfortunate?”
No, George.
What is truly “unfortunate” is the number of American citizens who think exactly like you do regarding the topic of Islamic terrorism.
That if we as a country don’t anger or provoke the average Muslim living in the Middle East, if we apologize for all the injustices the West in general but the U.S. specifically has committed against their prophet and their people, if we send these theocratic governments billions of dollars in aid money, if we pass anti-blasphemy laws criminalizing the defamation of Islam then maybe our troops and diplomats and innocent civilians not only around the world but on American soil will not be murdered in cold blood while the perpetrator shouts “Allahu Akbar.”
Freedom of speech is very unfortunate
But the most unfortunate is to call it unfortunate in a country of which it is a primary constitutional rightWhy do you call freedom of speech “unfortunate?”
I’m genuinely curious.
I really dislike when celebrities get involved in politics. It just ridiculous, you are in movies, you are not here so the masses can base their political ideology on you. But freedom of speech :)
George, come on…
George is a hypocritical idiot. He protests injustice and then has a $40,000 a plate (!!!) fundraiser for a President who drones innocent civilians.
I wonder if Clooney also gets mad when the President kills innocent Muslims…

Brags about killing Osama Bin Laden. Blames Muslim outrage on movie.

Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?
Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:
- Coffee
Cameras
Experimental Physics
Chess
Soap
Shampoo
Perfume/spirits
Irrigation
Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
Combination locks
Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
Surgical instruments
Anesthesia
Windmill
Treatment of Cowpox
Fountain pen
Numbering system
Algebra/Trigonometry
Modern Cryptology
3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)
Crystal glasses
Carpets
Checks
Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.
- University
- Optics
- Music
- Toothbrush
- Hospitals
- Bathing
- Quilting
- Mariner’s Compass
- Soft drinks

It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

I don’t know what these have anything to do with the religion. I think the proper word should arab, since it was arabic people who invented all this. Muslim encompasses so many races and its mostly a religion, not a race, unlike Middle Eastern or Arabic, which is the proper term
Technically, you can’t just caulk it up as “Arabs”, since some of these things were invented by Persians or Turks, who don’t consider themselves Arabs. But all of these inventors had one thing in common, they were Muslim.
But you are right, religion has little to do with all of these milestones. Most of these people would have contributed to society regardless of what religion they practiced.
