The post shows clear bias and misunderstanding, especially in the post comparing it to Satanism.

If you had actually read the article you'd see it said it's NOT TRUE. That it's just pattern matching and no such thing is happening.

Second, it was comparing pro-Islam audio showing up in unexpected places just like people used to claim the same about Satanism. (eg play some music backwards and you hear pro-Satan lyrics) It was not comparing the two subjects or saying that Islam = Satanism.

Third, Satanism isn't what most people think. The Church of Satan, arguably the largest group of so-called Satanists, is actually atheistic. Its members don't believe in the supernatural, Christian or Islamic.

how biased it is? it is mentioning the truth, even if TC writer did not mean it he should not compare Islam to Sanatism. " "Is Islam the new Satanism?" how wrong and bad this statement.

second, TC was backing google to post the "fitan" movie a movie full of lies that falsely accuse Islam of terrorism, and said google needs to "decide between free speech and global jihad.” but when it comes to jews, or criticizing Israel Arrington says "“The first amendment doesn’t apply to private companies.” and demand stuff that criticize the jews to be removed. this is a prof that TC is anti islam and biased to jews Zionism and israel

No. All that says is that TC recognizes a difference between preventing the de facto censorship of a film, and culling trolls and flamewars on discussion boards.

Even if you could reasonably derive the meaning you have from TC's posts, so what? They're allowed to think that, what is your point? I think Islam is evil too... right up there with Judaism and Christianity. Big whoop.

right you said it, you think islam is evil.. this is ignorant from you, why do not be classy and say i disagree with islam and not calling it bad names. however the point here is the writers are accusing Islam of things under free speech and preventing other cretinism israel and jews.

for your misconception I suggest you read hhttp://islam-truth.com/

I think all religion is evil. Don't feel so special.

This isn't ignorant, it is enlightened.

To say simply that I disagree with it is not being honest. I disagree with it and I oppose it. In crude terms, I think that it is evil. The same with other religions.

You are evil

Nah, I'm just your standard run of the mill atheist.

Common misconception though! There are more of me than you might think however, so you might want to learn about me.

so why do you think all religions are evil and Islam in particular?

I never said I found Islam in particular evil. I find all religions evil, and haven't stated that I find any to be more or less so than the others.

Are you attempting to imply however that I am evil because I find religion to be so? If that is the case, that sentiment is a perfect example of why I think what I do.

I do not expect you to understand, nor do I intend on expending the astronomical amount of effort that would be required to allow you to understand.

well according to you all religions are evil including Islam, what do you know about Islam that makes you think Islam is evil? i am challenging you in open free discussion to prov you wrong :)

It is a believe system that involves, among other things, a belief in the supernatural, and the indoctrination of children by their parents.

So, unless you can tell me that Islam has no "god", and parents never discuss it with their children before they are old enough to decide for themselves, I don't think you have much to tell me.
