Mr. Uygur, I very much want to commend you on your views. I agree with pretty much everything you have stated in your library of videos.

By the way I am Greek, which I am highlighting to show that mentality can create at least as strong or stronger bond between people than ethnic identity.

There are a big number of incidents related with honour killing in islam / islamic countries.

Father saw his daughter walking on street and didn't put on her Hijab, he just took a sword and simply swung the sword at the neck of daughter with full speed, the head was off.

The father returned home proudly and the neighbours simply agreed with his deed because it complies islam's teaching perfectly.

Isn't it strange / monstrous? yes, and it happens !!

i'm a muslim live in malaysia and i agree with him...this is not what teach in islam.. if someone (islam) did something wrong then he/she have to be advised either by heart(if youre not able to do something)/ mouth(speak)/ hand(slap)...BUT NEVER KILL ANYBODY..THAT IS ILLEGAL IN ISLAM...if u follow the true islam then u know what is right and what is wrong...and this tradition is absolutely wrong..

[MrDenocan]

He didn't say Kurdish because it would not be poltically correct... It is a fact that honor killing is Kurdish peoples tradition. But again it would be politically incorrect to point fingers.

@animefreak873 Yes i do know what it is. And it isn't propaganda when it happens right around the corner from where i live and its a direct story which is simple. I don't know where you live but with mine they tell you what they don't know and do know. I am pretty sure it is what it is even when the person who did it said what he did, plus witness', and investigation. He through his wife and kids out the window, "he" said it was a honour killing and would do it 100 times more if he could -_-

[animefreak873]

@animecatgirlroxs you do know that most stuff you hear on the news is just propaganda.Do you even know what that means?

[animecatgirlroxs]

I hate these damn countries....You can say all you want about racism but i am not racist...i say the truth...Fuck how come where i live with all the middle eastern there is like people thowing there kids and wife out windows and then you go to a white area down town...i don't hear much. I don't get it. Like these people are fucked. Sure there is some that are ok but most of these people man are fucked.

@Croilir what country u from.

[Croilir]

@bbphnix Yes, as a tourist you won't necessarily talk about social issues. And the facade in Dubrovnik IS breath-taking.. ;-)

But don't get a wrong picture, our country is changing fast against all odds. Young people see religious dogmas very differently as their parents and the future belongs to them.

So I'm very optimistic.

Have a nice day! Bye!

[bbphnix]

@Croilir no, Dubrovnik;

let me guess.... tourist areas have a nice facade?

[Croilir]

@bbphnix Hi. Yes, they're nice people but in society the church is very influental. Many think gays shouldn't have rights at all, women are sometimes still treated as objects. And many people are very naive in regards to politics and politicians. Besides, there are people who regularely go to church but in real life behave like monkeys (corruption, liars and so on). But still, don't forget the cool guys, they're getting more and more.. ;-)

Have you been in Zadar or Split? (my hometowns)

Bye!

[bbphnix]

@Croilir croats are conservative? I've been in Croatia, didn't strike me as conservative; I like it a lot actually

[amine17360]

Honor Killings in Muslim Countries are not caused by religion

it is caused by TRADITIONS the result of the SALAFI IDEOLOGY !!!

AND GOD KNOW BEST

[Xytos]

calm the fuck down ass hole i'll kick your ass

[AudiGal09]

EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING OVER WHICH RELIGION IS THE WORST.

And start coming up with WAYS TO SAVE THESE WOMEN.

[millitantatheist1]

@bornnraised1 unfortunately we have evidence to the contrary, catholicsdont understand transubstantiation, protestants dont understand the reformation, etc.

but of course muslims are special, right?

"dont listen to your maths teacher, im a painter and decorator " being a part of an religion is not the same as having studied said religion, bring me documentation that your a theologian and ill concede that you probably know more about your religion than me, but even then your not average.

[millitantatheist1]

@bornnraised1 "i think a MUSLIM will know more about ISLAM than a non muslim dont you think?"

not really, most religious people know only the very basics of there religion, jews, atheists/agnostics, and mormons are the ones who tend to break this mold.

@bornnraised1 You sound pretty much like a nutter to me. And such cultures only exist under most Islamic countries...How sad. Look up some facts for yourself instead of denying the existence in your face.

[divinegod102]

@bornnraised1 There is no such thing as "honor killing" in China. And under the Sharia law, the victim of the rapist has to marry her own rapist...What's the difference?

[divinegod102]

@alitaleya Would you please grow up? And it's spelled "liar".

[ricochet188]

I keep getting distracted by the terrible subtitles.

[RzzRBladez]

Cavemen and neanderthals wouldnt have performed such an act, they were far too intelligent for such reasoning.

[P4KiiST4N]

@jardy90 to be pardoned

[jardy90]

@P4KiiST4N what is the punish for apostosy?

[P4KiiST4N]

@jardy90 Noyour not allowed to kill anyone who leaves Islam... Why? Because the Prophet (PBUH) pardoned people who left Islam and we should do the same. You can only kill people for treason against Islam in a Shar'iah state and no where else.

[jardy90]

@P4KiiST4N if you leave muslim fate will you not be kill?ist it the same thing?improvement of education is eradication of all religions.
