Oh man... I hope you're doing okay though.

I'm perfectly fine.
Actually quite happy it happened now and not when the NYC marathon is due.

Ofcourse, RIP victims and it being horrible that it happened and what not.

Just making sure, but the more and more I see this happen in my current country of residence, the more I want to live somewhere else.

Well, you've got a point I guess. Down with ISIS!

Don't use Urban, use Dictionary.com. I want them disemboweled.

I will agree that radical Islam is a problem. The key word being radical. I would say the same about any religion including Christianity.

I'm not going to say much past that, but what I meant by that warning is bashing any religion as a whole.

The problem is I can't trust any western media about issues in the Middle East. About religion or anything.

Just look at this article from the nytimes. Its filled with nothing but lies.
That the family wants to perform an honor killing against the girl that was raped is a lie.

None of the news outlets in the Middle East said this. Heres the original news source in Persian (Use some translator to translate).
Many news outlets in the Middle East said the same thing. That the family took the Girl to the hospital and rape was confirmed there. The rapist (mullah) was arrested. And the Family wanted the death sentence by hanging for the rapist. The western media version of the story is a complete lie and many sources confirm this.

The Authorities of the Women's ministry also wanted the rapist to be executed.
If you don't know what a mullah is, a Mullah is a Muslim learned in Islamic theology and sacred law.

There was also another girl the was raped by a mullah a week prior to this event. The family did not wait for the law and took justice to their own hands. They cut off the mullahs ears and nose.

If you hear these 2 statements about the middle east.
  • A female is punished for being raped.
  • A rapist is marrying his victim by forced marriage.
Its probably a lie.

Its getting to the point I don't know who to believe anymore. The western media constantly lies a lot. And some of this comes from the corruption of some feminist groups. Westerners know little about the less developed nations like middle eastern ones so they can easily get away with stuff like this.

@DinohScene Heres a list of the safest places and the most dangerous places to travel to.

"The rankings take into account "the costliness of common crime and violence as well as terrorism, and the extent to which police services can be relied upon to provide protection from crime,"

This article shows 15 countries that are safer than the UK. And also show the 20 safest countries to go to.

If you look at the first source I gave, you can see that there are many middle eastern countries that are safer than the US and UK. With United Arab Emirates ranking number 2. Kuwait 43. Qatar at number 10 and so on. UK ranks 78 and US ranks lower at 84.

There are middle eastern countries though that rank lower than US and Uk. It just shows that western media makes an inaccurate picture about terrorism in the middle east.

UAE, Oman, Qatar..
Oh yeh, really safe!
Especially for a homosexual male.

"What are you going to do on holiday?"
"visiting a country where I get the death penalty for me sexuality ;')"

I don't call a country where there's a death penalty for sexuality safe.

Making an observation isn’t bashing a religion. Radical Islam is a severe problem. I’m not bashing Islam. I think we can all agree Radical Iskamists are disgusting and deserve no place on this world
Radicalization in general is a problem, and Islam is far from the only religion that's been militant lately. All religion makes people too easy to manipulate IMO.

Just the older generation/WWII vets that are bitter xenophobic douchebags who are too stubborn to forgive. Most of the rest of people treat foreigners well enough, made quite a few friends over there, actually. I'd rather live there than many other locales.

Country with the oldest population doesn't really help.

No, it doesn't, but again, only a small % of the people still hold grudges, it wasn't an issue when I lived there for a couple of years as part of an internship program. Good food, quirky culture, very helpful people actually. I was actually trying to find this old shrine, and I asked this dude where it was. He began to jog ahead and even gave a tour of it for 20 minutes. I still have pics of that somewhere. But I digress, no place is perfect, no, but then again, today's been a shitty day.:(


Edit: And I feel like throwing up

World is a shit place.
Nothing will change and with the current trend, a global war will start very soon.
I place me bets on Europe, more specifically Germany.
We already started 2, why not go for 3.
Three's a charm they say ;p
