Recall carefully the picture which was posted and deleted.

There was NO religion identified with the symbol in question.

You INFERRED something that was not expressed.

I didnt see the picture that was deleted, so i cant say that i recall it. I was just going on the posts that are still on the thread, if Im wrong it what i said then i apologize, but in my post i also didnt specify a religion...

Let's try to recall that examples of the behavior of individuals whose actions are guided by their own distorted view of any given religion abound for almost all modern religions and that many of these are abhorrent to the "rest of us".

There's a word for using a part to imply the whole that almost applies here, in this case because the behavior of the whole is being branded by the behavior of a part.

syn·ec·do·che P Pronunciation Key (s-nkd-k)
n.
A figure of speech in which a part is used for the whole (as hand for sailor), the whole for a part (as the law for police officer), the specific for the general (as cutthroat for assassin), the general for the specific (as thief for pickpocket), or the material for the thing made from it (as steel for sword).

[Middle English synodoches, from Medieval Latin synodoche, alteration of Latin synecdoch, from Greek sunekdokh, from sunekdekhesthai, to take on a share of : sun-, syn- + ekdekhesthai, to understand (ek-, out of; see eghs in Indo-European Roots + dekhesthai, to take; see dek- in Indo-European Roots).]
synec·dochic (snk-dkk) or synec·dochi·cal (--kl) adj.

From that perspective, the figure that was deleted and the most recent post deleted were synecdochical, and in this forum, that's verboten

How? Because you know that a specific religion is known for violence and bombing, so the bomb symbol must refer to that religion? If that religion really is so violent, then we should expose it. If it's not, then obviously my picture didn't apply, right?

Really Carlos -- there are only so many world-wide religions -- a simple process of elimination would have revealed the missing one to someone before 9/11

There are only four religions?

Or that religion was already known for violence before 9/11?

Although i have a lot more to say on this subject, i think we should stop as to avoid conflict, after all we're all friends here :D

LOL, this post is getting pointless. Every religion has violent extremists. I have friends that are practicing Jews (they keep a kosher kitchen), muslim (they don't allow me to speak with the women when I visit), Christian, Buddhist, etc., etc. None of them have cursed or attempted to harm me...actually they all give me a nice meal when I visit.

If you dig deep enough you'll find a rich history of violence in most religions. That's why I prefer to obey the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Being of the FSM sect myself, I agree with Fat Elvis.

You heathens! The Flying Canneloni Monster is the only true master!
