Well, tell me something Tim, ever watch a good movie and cry during, or at the end of the picture? If not, do you also fail to comprehend why others may cry in a movie theater?

There are movies that I don't like to watch -- some because they are too sad, and some because I find them offensive or excessively violent or gory or whatever.  So I don't watch them.  Simple.

I don't mind if others watch them though.  That's their business.

Yes, I am very easily moved to tears by a tear jerker movie. Bit unmanly there...

But what has that to do with something I don't watch or need to hear about?

If I don't want to be so moved I just don't watch it.

Even when I have been so moved, I understand that it's just a story. I am never deeply motivated in the way the present civil war between Muslems is motivating me to do my very little best to stop it.

As a result of the death coming out of the Islamic world view at the moment I try to put hings in perspective. That's why I am on here. Or at least that's the biggest reason. I got kicked out of a different Islamic forum due to not wanting such a war to happen. I think they were Sunni but I could be wrong on that.

'To hell with their culture' - Richard Dawkins in extraordinary blast at Muslims

In the same spirt, what do you care about what somebody else thinks about your god?

It's called emotions, and for some reason I knew you weren't a Vulcan incapable of understanding why people are offended.

But given the serious stuff happening in the world why does such hot air cause you to care about it?

I watched it but I think I have missed the context of what the guy is on about.

What exactly does he think is imperialist/evil/not self aware about ardent atheists such as Dawkins?
