Accidental or not?

Have a look at today's TV guide for Sydney (Bear in mind today is Sep 11th):

sooo, accidental programming Oops, or not? (SBS is our Multicultural Channel)

I'd say probably very intentional.

Moonliner · 09-11-2009, 04:31 AM

Probably intentional. Hopefully It's a good reminder that Islam/Muslim's are not the enemy.

They are if you're gay.

Not all of them.

Not all Christians/Catholics/Jews/whoever whose Bible/Torah/Religious teachings say homosexuality is wrong are the enemy either.

It's those who choose to act on it who are the enemy.

A recent poll in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has it that the only group thought to be more discriminated against in America than Muslims are da gays.

And nothing helps the problem of discrimination quite like singling a group of people out and calling them the enemy!

Be that as it may GD, can you point out to me a non-MusIslamic nation that punishes homosexuality by death?

Seems to me, SzcerbiakManiac is directing some ire at the general Muslim / Islamic population for the actions of their governments. Governments that are not even representative, as our government purportedly is.

So are we to blame as a people for the horrible actions of our government? Some might say, yes, since ultimate power in the U.S. is supposedly vested in the people. I'm being a bit sarcastic, but I'm asking SM his opinion on collective responsibility for government actions. Because unless all Muslims are responsible for the policies of their governments when it comes to executing gays, then Muslim people should not be considered his enemy.

IMO.

So does that make you the enemy, SM, to everyone whom the U.S. government defiles and kills and slights and maims and targets?
