No obviously I need to get personal, because you know what I lost my best friend growing up. Who was bombed to smithereens. Not by ultraliberals, but by followers of extremist Islam. Because as if ultraliberalism is taking away anyone's rights. Islam ensures today in Saudi Arabia women don't...

Name me one ultraliberal terrorist. You should start by taking that IQ test yourself.

The world is changing very, very rapidly. Simply put, advances in robotics, nanomedicine or quantum computingwould mean that the way of life that we know currently will not be there in the twenty-second century. Being hated by the world would also mean losing out on that technological highway...

No no no. You guys are not rotten apples. At all. But Islam is a part of your identity. And there are Muslims, who seek to hijack that identity, and remake it in a terribly violent fashion. People like Zarvan for example. Your silence is then a tacit approval for that change in that identity in...

Bulls eye on the machoness and chest-thumping mard-e-momins. But to be entirely fair, it is present to an equal extent among American rednecks.

Tried in the sense? People are senselessly arrested under the law all the time. India definitely is not a free speech country - rather the opposite.

@Gufi you know what is the problem. This is the problem. Unless you confront it, this monster will destroy you. You want to stop apologizing for Muslims? Well here is where you should start.

And that is a terrible thing, which has been misused repeatedly. I absolutely do not support it. It is the legacy of the Emergency, when Indira Gandhi used it to silence opponents. Mamata Banerjee (the chief minister of West Bengal) used it to send to jail a professor in Calcutta for sharing...

Speech is free. So the issue should not be with the hashtag. The issue is with actions. Years ago, the ACLU fought for the right of the KKK to march through a city. So, the hashtag isn't the problem. The problem is with the attempt to restrict speech, however hateful might that be.

Have you ever thought of stopping being a victim, and be a real mard for once. It is much braver to acknowledge problems, and to solve them, than just point fingers at others 24/7 and burying your head in the sands of conspiracy theories. As someone up this thread commented, PK showed a...

I would have said ignore Zarvan. But @TankMan when you mentioned about confronting extremism why don't you kick guys like @Zarvan out of this forum?

As I mentioned - you need both economic and social freedom to prevent extremism. KSA has economic, but no social freedoms. Which is why you have a problem there.

Thanks @SvenSvensonov for putting some scientific sanity back into the thread. If I remember correctly only the Lawrence Livermore National Lab is seriously trying nuclear fusion using laser bombardment of deuterium-tritium alloy pellets. China has some very good photonics schools, but the...

I still think the cause of extremism is economic. Economic and social freedom must become a priority of the governments of Islamic countries. These mullahs must not be given a chance to give voice to a section of the population who is disaffected. Rather the root causes of disaffection must be...

You are insane man. Clinically insane. Yet what is even more frightening is that there are people, quite a few actually who share your views. You guys will get innocent people killed all for your stupid bloodlust. If someone needs a textbook demonstration about why Islam has a problem, they...

I am not dragging Pakistan. I was mentioning Zarvan's responses. It was about Zarvan, not Pakistan. And by the way, India has already been dragged into this thread several pages back.

Yeah act like a chimpanzee and throw shit at neighbours. Because that's the limit of your intelligence. I weep for the world that has too many like you.

To him anyone who kills another country's citizen has reasons. A terrorist is someone who attacks Pakistani. Even a few months even the Pakistan attackers had reasons. He is now trying to change his tune in Pakistan after the Peshawar attacks, but a leopard never changes its spots.

365 NM is international waters. Indian waters extend upto 12 nautical miles from the coast. GEO TV in Pakistan does the same, as does Fox in USA. From what it seems, scare-mongering pays, as both of these are their nation's largest news channels.
