Israel is 'main threat to Middle East peace': Turkey (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.f2ad1f74fe9302203b34f1dc60ba222 c.401&show_article=1)

I'd argue that the US and Israel are equally responsible for the lack of peace in the middle east...

The prime minister of Turkey, Israel's only ally in the Muslim world, on Wednesday branded the Jewish state the "principal threat to peace" in the Middle East.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks to reporters at a breakfast meeting in Paris marked a new low in rapidly deteriorating relations between Israel and Turkey, which once had close military and political ties.

"If a country uses disproportionate force in Palestine, in Gaza -- uses phosphorous shells -- we're not going to say 'bravo'," he declared, referring to Israel January 2009 offensive against Hamas-controlled Gaza.

Uh oh... I guess this guy must be an Anti Semite!

You'd certainly think so, considering he criticized the state of israel.

Did you notice the article, from breitbart, mentions the "jewish state", as if that is relevant?

Being jewish has jack shit to do with it, stop pumping Israel's dick fucktards.

Yeah I have noticed that myself in a few reports. It's a subtle, but effective little trick.

You'd have to be an antisemite if you criticized a jewish state, correct?

Oh but of course!

Just as you'd have to be anti-christian to criticize a christian nation (http://religions.pewforum.org/reports) such as the United States, right?

Indeed! And if you criticise, say, Saudi Arabia's human rights record, you must be an Islamophobe.

Wow, that explains everything! Thanks snow crash. I must hate christians, muslims, and jews.

Fuck, throw in hindus and sikhs while we're at it too.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd don't you dare say anything about china, or you must be against all atheists...

[skunk]

Oh damnit, I forgot about China. I also hate buddhists, taoists, and last but not least atheists.

Are there any other religions I'm missing?

Hm... well, are there any officially pagan nations?

[skunk]

I don't think so, but I can hate their ancestors! And if we're going down that path, I'd hate everyone.

Hip hip hooray!

China is a more complex "yellow peril" than imagined, an it can wipe out Israel any time it chooses to:

(wikicrap) The accuracy of the religious data in China from census sources is questioned. While official data estimated 100 million religious believers in China, a survey taken by Shanghai University found that 31.4% of people above the age of 16, or about 300 million people, considered themselves religious. The survey also found that the major religions are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity, accounting for 67.4 percent of believers. About 200 million people are Buddhists, Taoists or worshippers of legendary figures such as the Dragon King and God of Fortune, accounting for 66.1 per cent of all believers, while Christianity accounted for 12% of believers, or 40 million people. The official China Daily called the Shanghai professors' research "the country's first major survey on religious beliefs". The Chinese government have accepted these new numbers. The wide disparity among these estimates underscores the difficulty of accurately surveying the religious view of a nation of over a billion people and the lack of reliable data.
However, some surveys suggest that the cultural adherents or even outright religious adherents of Buddhism could number as high as 50% to 80% of the population, or about 660 million to over 1 billion. Some estimates for Taoism as high as 400 million or about 30% of the total population, but Adherents.com argues that these are actually numbers for Chinese folk religion or Chinese traditional religion, not Confucianism and Taoism themselves.

Has anyone criticized Shinto lately? Or the tapu of Tangaroa and Rongo?
