Atheists win!

/me walks away whistling "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life"...

1. I have to confess, I laughed at the "ZZ Top" chant.

[backscatter712]

4. Or when the Muslims starting pointing fingers and yelling "Infidels!"

The atheists pointed at themselves and yelled "INFIDELS!"

10. During the Iranian revolution in 1979, some wags were running around

the major cities "amending" images of the Allatullah Khomeini, that were spray-painted, using a cut-out template, all over the fencing-walls of people's homes and businesses, with a template of their own that spelled ZIG ZAG.



That's what ZZTop brought to mind for me!

I gotta say, I didn't see a lot of women on the other side of the argument at that protest, either--but at least there were some.

What were these fools after? Why gripe about Hitchens? He's dead! What was this entire thing in aid of? Is this the Westborough Fundamentalist Mosque, or something? They should get together with those sign waving fools--they might have some things in common (hate, for starters...).

How did they happen to come into confrontation w/atheists?

2. Yeah, atheists win, because Muslims did not have the numbers. That is changing, especially in Europe

[Coventina]

5. Your reply is troubling. Are you saying that this behavior is typical of Muslims?

To come and protest people for believing differently from themselves?

And that this represents the entire (male) population of Muslims in the area? And not just a handful of cranks?

[thereismore]

7. No, that is silly. Those ZZ top guys were Muslims though, would you argue with that?

Don't you trouble your mind.

[Coventina]

8. Since you apparently can't form a coherent answer to my question, I won't.

Cheers!

11. Those guys are not typical of any Muslims I know--they do seem quite "cranky" to me.

I thought they came off like the Westborough Baptist types.

[snooper2]

6. Yeah, people are really flocking to become fundies in the year 2016

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. I like.

9. The "Bullshit" response

was the best one, imo.

[progressoid]

12. Where is this?

Looks like Australia. A college campus? Govt building?

[backscatter712]

13. An Austrialian atheists convention.

Right at the beginning of the video, it's labeled 2012 Global Atheist Convention, Melbourne Australia.

[progressoid]

15. Oh yeah. I was busy reading the signs they were waving.

Thanks
