    Did I defend extremist Muslims, the Taliban or Iran? Please tell me where I did. Curious, I get involved in Amnesty International in part to stop discrimination against gays, women, people of all religions and political background.

    You defended the religion itself. The only thing that makes "extremist" muslims extremist is their adherence to that religion, and it's commands for massacring.

    What makes a muslim extremist is islam. What may make a muslim moderate is, for example, capitalism (e.g. tourism).

    The exact same goes for violent muslim regimes. What makes them violent is that specific religion.

    So yes, you defended extremist muslims and sharia law. You defended the stoning of women. You see, they're both parts of what you defended.

    You're like someone stating how he loves cars, and can't understand why people find it strange that you hate wheels and engines. The first does not exist without the other. There is no islam without sharia. There is no islam without stonings, "violent muslim regimes" and other reprehensible things. It just doesn't exist.

    Firstly, most religious people nevertheless seem to have a functioning system of morality. They're typically highly inventive when reconciling it with their religion, reinterpreting and ignoring it as necessary to enable themselves to function as normal upstanding human beings. And that's just the ones who've gone so far as to actually read the text they're supposedly living their lives by.

    In order for this sentence to be true, there needs to be a universal, singular and unchanging (over time) definition of "upstanding human beings" in a moral context.

    That definition would form, obviously, an ideology, and a religion.

    So what you're saying, in essence, is that it doesn't matter that people profess hate, and keep killing one another, in the end they'll follow your religion.

    And that formulation exposes the statement for the stupidity that it is. There is NO universal standard for human behavior. There are religions (and anything that actively steers human behavior is a religion in this view), with consequences. Communism would be a religion in this view, as would capitalism, in addition to the traditionally accepted ideologies. This obviously also means that there are consequences to following certain religions. This makes one religion better than another. There are also consequences to your neighbours/"society" following certain religions, which is what makes some religions totalitarian and others support freedom.

    Islam is a bad (has terrible consequences/quality of life for it's adherents as evidenced by the many failed muslim states) totalitarian (will be imposed by society with physical violence if given the chance, again see any muslim country) religion.

    So why don't you answer the question. WHAT is that magical description of a "upstanding moral human being" that you claim every muslim will spontaneously accept in lieu of islam and it's massacres ?

    I hope you have a DAMN good answer. I really do. But I fear the evident is true : that you're unable to imagine situations you're not directly confronted with.

    Why do people hate others so easily? Is it the media, the propaganda, what? Just get over it, there are a lot people out there which are different than you but guess what, they mean you no harm. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

    From the quran : "all non-muslims are the filthiest animals on the planet. When one irritates you, do not just kill one, but kill enough, so that they know their place".

    (chapter 8, verse 55 and following).

    This is not an isolated, lonely, out of context verse. The entire book is full of hate. About 2/3rds of the quran is devoted to hate against specific groups, including a few passages that institute hate of people with black skin.

    And people think the bible is bad ... and that muslims should be "tolerated". Tolerating muslims is like "tolerating" Hitler. Not tolerant at all.

  5. Re:Bullshit on Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do · · Score: 1

    This is a logical inverse error (p implies q, therefore q implies p).

    And your point is a logical fallacy, because it deliberately obsures information that would render it invalid. Yes the absolute is wrong, there are non-muslim terrorists. However the point was simply : does believing in allah (the choice a muslim make), believing in islamic doctrine, make someone more likely to be a terrorist ?

    And the answer is a simple, and overwhelming, yes. Maths has quite a bit to say about the problem, more than just "you can't reverse the decution". You CAN reverse the deduction, if you don't require 100% certainty.

    In fact reversing the deduction is the very basis of everyone's spam checker here. Let's use Bayes theorem and calculate how much claiming belief in islam's paedophile prophet changes the chance of being a terrorist :

    You have 2 partitions in the population that you want to compare for overlap : muslim vs non-muslim and terrorist versus non-terrorist. Let's say 90% of the terrorists are muslim (which is generous, since it's closer to 99% in the last 10-20 years) and simply fill in the values. Let's say there are 10.000 terrorists we should catch (which is most certainly an understatement), and 900 million muslims (which is certainly an overestemate if you exclude secular muslims, and the various sects that don't commit terrorism, in fact it might easily be only half that). 6 billion people alive (which is an underestimate, some people say 7 billion is already passed).

    terrorist divisions :
    90% muslim = 9000 people
    10% non-muslim = 1000 people

    So the chance that someone is a terrorist given that he/she is muslim is :

    P(T | M) = P(T AND M) / P(M) = (9000 / 900 million) / (6 billion / 900 million) = 1e-5 / 7 > 1e-6

    Given that someone's muslim there's 1.5 chance in a million that he is currently attempting to randomly kill others. (meaning in the US there are at least 7 people hard at work killing other americans for allah, given the 99% figure, that would be 70 people for america alone, and for europe the figures are just dismal)

    P(T | NM) = P(T AND NM) / P(NM) = (1000/5100000000) / (5100000000/6000000000) = 1.960784313725490196e-07 / 0.85 = 2.3e-7

    Given that someone's not muslim the chances that he(/she) is trying to kill others is 0.25 chance in a million.

    So there we have it : that someone's muslim raises the chance that he's trying to kill others randomly by a factor of 6.

    And that's given very, very kind numbers to begin. If we were to take 99% of the terrorists as muslims, which is closer to the true numbers that would make muslims 60 times more likely to be terrorists.

    You also, obviously need to take into account the absolute values of these chances, which are small. But clearly, bayes, a neutral system because it does not have politics, it is a fucking equation, would use the fact that someone's muslim to try and assess the probability that he's a terrorist.

    It would probably be less important than someone's age (there has yet to be a terrorist over 40), but more important than his/her nationality or looks.

    So there's the verdict : belief in islamic doctrine makes someone at least 6 times (and more likely 60 times) more likely to be someone who likes to randomly kill innocent people.

  7. Re:Bullshit on Security Checkpoints Predict What You Will Do · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Your logic is the only one that's flawed. Clearly an indicator of how terrorist someone is is his (/her) faith. Or rather : his/her ideology. Compared to christianity, islam is a political party, after all. That's what "no separation between mosque and state" means.

    Let's just do what any intelligent algorithm does : look at the statistics, and derive from there without ANY regard for any political sensibilities, current, past. Imagined or real. If it turns out that being a muslim is a good indicator of trying to attack innocents, then let's use it ! Why, exactly, must people die (that's what happens if security checks have a false negative), just so you can feel good about yourself ?

    Let's just look at the statistics, year over year. The year after muslims stop killing innocents "for their faith", the searches of muslims stop.

    THAT would be fair. Excluding them from checks would be stupid, dangerous and grossly racist (towards both them and everyone else).

    After world-war 2 holocaust victims were imprisoned due to cholera infections. Not all were infected, but the tests were too expensive to separate the infected from the rest, so this added allied imprisonment was for more than a few of them a death sentence. And if they hadn't done that, several millions of innocents would have died in all major cities, because the economy didn't allow for any large-scale treatment of people. And they would have died for no good reason other than politicians feeling good.

    Let's not be idiots, just because you're too narrow-minded to admit that, yes the obvious truth is indeed true : ideology matters. Religions and political theories are not equal : some kill to prove they're right. Some love. Some simply work. islam is in the first category.

    And let's not kid ourselves, the faith that is eradicating black people for their skin color in darfur is not (at all) tolerant. Tolerating racist killers is not tolerance at all.

    You can prove security by using information theory. For example, it is trivial to prove that OTP's the length of the plaintext are secure.

    There's just not enough information to hack anything at all. Every last bit is random.

    The problem is that you want to encrypt 512 gig of known data using a 1kb key and still have it impossible to determinte the key given both the ciphertext and the plaintext.

    That said, many algorithms (including DES) are known to be secure IF the plaintext (what you encrypt) is kept secret (CBC variant, obviously ECB is not).

    Of course "plaintext kept secret" means SECRET. In other words if the plaintext starts with "GET / HTTP/1.1" 50% of the time (like any VPN connection), it's not secret. Secret means that there isn't a single predictable bit in the plaintext, which tends to be a rather harsh demand (although zipping plaintext first really adds a lot to the security in practice).

He lifted it and there was, underneath that, the verse pertaining to stoning. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) pronounced judgment about both of them and they were stoned. Abdullah b.
