Firstly Aceh(the region hardest hit) has a lot of Christians(who were fighting a civil war) & sprinkling of Buddhists.Secondly,the architecture in Indonesia & Malaysia is a mixture of Buddhist,Hindu & Islamic styles due to their diverse religious history.Many mosques in the region resemble Hindu or Buddhist shrines.

Things suck... they'll always hate us. We'll always step in the save the world. It's the way it is.

[pageonetoo]

But still, my point stands.

You had a point?

[I Gig Gar]

Incorrect.

I asked you questions based on your comments/responses.

Either you cheer for the death of all muslims in this tragedy, including newborns, or you don't.

You did.

All I did was post agreement to his posts accuracy. The company I keep has nothing to do with you, and I do not seek your approval either. Our beliefs may have no common ground what so ever, but ever since that "minor" event several years back, in several areas within the USA, I have become painfully aware of just how vile those people who attacked us really are. With that in mind, good day.

"No one's advocating becoming a Muslim out of sympathy for these people. But suffering is suffering, and the people of Indonesia have been suffering at the hands of radical Islamists (by the way) perhaps more than any other nation on earth."

Years of totalitarianism didn't help, either. That's still no reason for the droolbabies on this thread doing their little "intolerant, lowbrowed, angry, white, bible-thumping male red zoner" routine for their DU friends (obviously I'm not including you among that number)

[I Gig Gar]

Yes, of course. Post 29.

Did you miss that? Or you knew I had a point and just decided to post anyway?

[BayouCoyote]

And shame on you as well.

A Garth Brooks sings a song comes to mind.

"I believe what we're seeing lately are simply DU trolls signing up here, posting some sort of hateful rhetoric only so that they can run back to DU and link to it to 'prove' what a bunch of knuckledraggers we are."

Not only did you beat me to it, you said it MUCH better,

[Bogey78O]

Yup, we may kill innocents in our quest to get the guilty but we should never ever be callous to it or accept it as a necessary evil. Nor should we ever take joy in a tragedy that kills good and evil alike.

I'll joke about bombing Mecca and nuking parts of the Arabian peninsula but that's just talk. This tsunami is serious.

[sweetiepiezer]

My prayers offered for you and you friends.

[nuconvert]

Exactly

[Rutles4Ever]

I understand completely.

[pageonetoo]

I can't even think about the lost tribes.

You don't think about masses. You think of individuals... and ask God for His mercy...and include, in your prayers, His help in forming your prayers!

Jehovah Jireh!

[AirForceMom]

Your fixation on nukes...death...mayhem.
You're also pretty rude.

[Bogey78O]

The only disaster I can remember before this one where millions were killed was Communism.

[pageonetoo]

DU must be too slow these days!

[agrace]

This disaster kinda put into perspective the efficiency of Hitler offing a few million Jews in a few years; or Stalin with his few million; or a Saddam, offing what 500,000; or the various African countries/tribes who are hacking off the heads of as many they can find as we speak.

Not really. The depravity of man that deliberately commits such heinous acts can't be directly compared to a horrible natural disaster such as this. It's apples and oranges, imo.

I truly can't believe how disgusting DU is. The crassness and vulgarity would make Clinton blush.

WHY are you posting this to me?? I posted nothing but a statistical fact, that Indonesia is overwhelingly Muslim. I made no derogatory remarks about ANY Indonesian citizen, alice or dead, on this thread.

Dead is dead, suffering is suffewring to me, I don't care WHAT religion the dead and suffering follow. Go flame someone else.
