Japan’s PM has been praising Islam for “teaching Japan tolerance,” after having been dragged into cleaning up the diplomatic mess left by the Tokyo governor’s undiplomatic if accurate appraisal of Islamic nations as “fighting each other because the only thing they have in common is Allah.”
Abe could apparently think of nothing more convincing to say in praise of the religion of peace than:
“Japan has learned much of the spirit of tolerance from Islam [through providing Islamic nations technical assistance].”
His remarks come in response to Tokyo governor Naoki Inose having upset Muslims by commenting that “the only thing Islamic nations have in common is a belief in Allah, that’s why they are always fighting each other,” which was promptly seized upon by aggrieved Muslims and his domestic opponents as being “un-Olympic” in spirit, although Turkey itself seems to have magnanimously ignored the comments.
Inose rather lamely disavowed the comment by saying “it did not convey my true intent,” displaying none of his former boss Ishihara’s appetite for offending people.
Amongst actual Japanese there is some incredulity at his statements – although the more ironic reading is apparently lost on them:
“Nice follow through from Abe there!”
“This is laying it on way too thickly. They should actually take a stand against terrorism for once.”
“It is not really a believable follow through, he should have said they discovered zero or something.”
“The only people who say it is a religion of peace are those who know absolutely nothing about it.”
“Thankfully the Turks are being very nice about this.”
“Turkey and Japan, two nations united in being loathed by the world for their butchery. I guess they feel sorry for each other.”
“If they lash out at him for this they disprove his statement so it is kind of clever.”
“Abe’s believers are as bad as Christians…”
“Inose is too smart to just make dumb remarks like this. I’m sure he planned this. to advance his bid…”
“He’s an idiot for saying anything which might offend a pro-Japanese country!”
“The New York Times is just anti-Japanese.”
“Japanese reporters are just salarymen who write what they are told. Overseas they have actual journalists who write under their own names, and the opinions in a paper are not necessarily uniform. Totally different to Japan.”
“Honestly, he wasn’t being sarcastic was he? Islam must be the world’s second least tolerant religion.”
“Tell it to the Buddhas at Bamiyan.”
“Pretty sure everything Inose said in the first place was true in any case… Islamic nations are constantly fighting each other for ethnic and sectarian reasons. He’s right.”

Islam? Tolerance? Are you kidding me?
Islam is a religion of tolerance and peace,its just if you don't agree they'll kill you.
Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.
It's the people using religion as an excuse to their acts where the problem lies. And then again people use not only religion this way, take a good look, religious fanaticism is just the easiest one to spot.
Hmm... I don't remember ANY religion group drops atomic bombs to a certain country.
@03:27
Oh, but there are many that want, just ask certain Christfags. Or guess what Bin Laden would have done, if he ever had one...
Also, those nukes were not a special kind of evil, they were of the same evil as all "normal" massacres of civil population (the worst were not caused by nukes - hell, Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't even particular bad compared with many other mass killings and deeds of destruction, as cynical as that is), and religious groups have more than enough of those.
i think all you people are missing the point. What Abe meant is that Islam being a negative example of what NOT to do and NOT to follow is teaching the japanese to be more tolerant. Get it now?
yeah, no religious group has ever dropped any atomic bombs, they only stand behind a few big massacres in human history, and some genocide as well.
To 03:27 There is such group, they even have a motto "In Got We Trust" on their icons.
No religious group has dropped an atomic bomb because thankfully those technical enough to obtain them are secular government.
Public relations is never easy.
Religious words and fanatics are far more dangerous than bombs.
In all human recorded history, there was more wars because of religion than any other motive...

Maybe the US should nuke those who say behead those who insult Islam.
The shit would end very quickly.
http://memearchive.net/memerial.net/5445/make-fun-of-our-peaceful-religion.jpg Is more like it.
possibly but the US is unlikely to use its nukes unless its attacked with them itself now and even then it would be iffy their really only a deterant against the likes of china or russia
Your comment demonstrates nicely that one doesn't need to be religious to be an extremist ...
So, insulting is alright?
I doubt any of you guys will just sit and listen when somebody call you mum a big ass gaping slut, your girlfriend is ugly or you get a small useless dick..
Stop making insulting moslem, and there will be no issue.
Don't be so quick to bash other people based on their religion,Evil does not come from religion but from the human heart itself.Open your eyes to the suffering of Palestinian and Karen people in Burma. They are Muslim and they are hopeless against the cruelty of people, Slaughtered,raped and jailed just for being Muslim.
you are right, there's numerous time that in anime refer to something like this. something along lines "your very existence is sin" dfuck ! human born without sin.
Evil may not always come from religion, but religion is the excused used by normal, supposedly "good" people to commit horrible acts of evil without even the slightest bit of guilt, because their stone-age megalomaniacal monster in the sky commands it. That alone is reason enough to get rid of it, even without all of the genuinely evil people who use it as a shelter, since the evil they were going to commit anyways is justified and even praised by religion.
because Muhammad have sex with 9 year old Aisha, have sex with daughter in law Jainab, have sex with his slave Mariah, rape Saywah n still call himself prophet.
because Muhammad just like other cult leader, like SHoko Asahara, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Warren Jeff, Brian David Mitchell
hate the non muslim, and kill them if they discard islam. that is Islam!!
Dude, I non moslem live in most populous Muslim-majority nation on earth.
Not that i say, they all tolerant. There few extrimist and radical as well.
but, I once insult Harry poter and recive death threat as well.
what you dare say anything bad against potter I KILL you no seriously people are insane I hate to say it the muslim world in general is in the shape it is because those crazy bastards aren't being rejected by the general population they seem to just want to live their lifes without dealing with the issue in general. the saying all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing applys to the muslim world as well.
Good to know that.. We are tolerant, just there are few extremist, that actually they not following the our religion law.
Also, some of these extremist like killing the raped girl is more cultural thing and not religions thing.
Raped is not considered as something forced, and not a willingful act, so there are no punishment there.
"just there are few extremist, that actually they not following the our religion law"
Seriously? You're going to claim that the Imams who dictate your religion's laws are not following your religion's laws?
Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
The problem is, the extremist and most uptight members of the religion are always the ones in charge, and because of vague religious explanations there's always 1 out of 10 of them who has alarms set off about something like skin in a cartoon, leading them to fight and yell at the other 9 until they win (using their holy book as their weapon, of course).
The Imams do NOT dictate the religious laws. The Hadeeth and the Qur'an are the one that does.
Any Imam that doesn't follow those two are astray. Take Shi'ah for example, They do not take in any Hadeeth that isn't narrated by 'Ali, despite the companions of Muhammad being the most trustable men to Muhammad, yet the Shi'aites doesn't believe so. That's blatantly going against the teachings of Muhammad if you ask me. Anyway, this is a long ass topic so I hope you guys keep the generalizations out of your ass and do some research. Google doesn't cut it, read a book. http://kitaabun.com/shopping3/product_info.php?products_id=3115
just say that you enter islam, n exit it one month latter. lets we see what peace are u talking about.
just say that Muhammad marry 6 year old Aisha, n have sex when her 9 year old, so he can called pedophile. lets we see what peace are u talking
lol, it's happened years ago, long before modern law built, whadda ya expect ! don't made up non-logical theory !
Islam is,Islamists aren't.
Don't mix the religion and those who misunderstand it and use it wrongly.
Word is an illusion if actions do not back it up.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/30/us-muslims-opposition-suicide-bombing
the non-extremist did do something, in form of frowning upon those extremist side.
"Muslims around the world strongly reject violence in the name of Islam. Asked specifically about suicide bombing, clear majorities in most countries say such acts are rarely or never justified as a means of defending Islam from its enemies," the report says.
You do realize that the ones who're most likely to have actually read the whole Quran and the hadiths are the likes of bin Laden and the violent and intolerant rulers in Iran and Saudi Arabia?
While the ones who are likely to have the least grasp of Islamic scriptures are the moderate, non-violent, tolerant muslims living here in the west.
And what about the Imams who decry what the terrorists do? For every "Imam" who says "Jihad against the infidels!", so many more have no wish for conflict, only to practice their beliefs in peace.
Tolerance sounds like the next manga after Toloveru
To Le-Rance? rofl... it should be a spinoff of the Rance series.
Religion basing on a porn site? No Way!!!!! I can't believe it lmao.
bashing*
It's never been a porn site, it's always been bigot central.
You're saying that people who like porn are expected to be cruel and nasty people?
Im saying people who visit pornographic sites regularly and religious talk = sunlight / vampires.
One of the main ideas of religion is morals so what else would you expect from porn watchers who have clearly altered from the norm their ideas of what morals are.
Well, religion has generally been known for putting devotion towards their god(s) above any kind of pleasures (which are seen as distractions), so I guess that would make religion a touchy subject with most porn viewers, I admit.
i'm an Islam person, i'm here and there watch Anime, Hentai, Manga, Drama, even American TVs, follow Game sites, and it's mostly non islamic stuff. then why do you call me "un-tolerant" ?? i don't get it.
~i'm not being sarcasm here, it's real~
you=/=your religion
you can be a perfectly fine, respectable human being that just happens to believe something rather silly
And vice versa. There could be a perfecly fine, respectable religion that just happens to have idiots claiming to belong to it.
Sadly, there are no respectable religions.
There we go with the anti-islam americans, you people are truly pathetic, i could say the same thing for your christians, jews, catholic, etc etc etc.
Yup, just don't tell people your a Christian in some of those Islamic countries and you'll be fine.
Being a Christian is fine but don't tell people you're an atheist in Islamic countries. From personal experience traveling to Saudi Arabia, they really don't give a shit which god you believe in so long as you believe in some higher deity...and if that's God/Yaweh/Allah then so much the better.
Tell someone you have no faith or belief and they WILL treat you like dog shit.
You realize that the bible and any kind of non-muslim worship is banned in Saudi Arabia right?
Yes, it is banned. However, since I'm an atheist, I was advised to tell people I was Christian when asked instead of my usual response. It's not illegal to BE a Christian but it is illegal to PRACTICE Christianity through worship or through possession of religious paraphernalia.
To be faor, saud Arabia treets everyone like dog shit........ unless you have money.
Saudi Arabia is probably the worst place on Earth.
I would rather live in Crazy Korea than with the camel fuckers.
Geez! No kidding. They're worse than UAE.
Syria is worse. There your race & religion naught, if you're not Syrian, you are filth.
Knew a kid once who was 1st generation American and he was still indoctrinated to their way of thinking. The kid actually believed everyone else (not Syrian) was beneath him & impure. And he even had a criminal record for credit card fraud! How's that for ironic?
