Hypothetically, what would happen if you employed one of these guys and they had to take 4 weeks off sick to let their sword wounds heal?

If you sacked them would you be discriminating against their religion?

I suspect it's never been tested. Afterall, if you found out you were employing a religious nutter in possession of a samurai who would carve themselves up with it for no apparent reason, would YOU piss them off by sacking them?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's a big thing in some Christian communities too.

You'd imagine most of them have got jobs, and some of them will be phoning in sick.

"Sorry boss, I can't come in, I've got a bad headache cos I gashed myself with a samurai sword".

Ed has a point

I have heard of Christian nutters who drive nails into their hands and feet to experience that pain Christ suffered. One guy tried to cruxify himself he managed to mail his feet and one hand but couldn't nail the other hand.

Apparently other Muslim sects find their behaviour really funny.

A case of SUNNI DELIGHT?

Sounds like a normal evening at any S and M club (not that I know or anything)

it's not difficult to understand why some sections of the muslim community have mental conditions that ultimatly manefest in violent acts towards other faiths.

Who provides all the knives and stuff? They must make a decent PROPHET out of all of this.















Terrible, I know, terrible.

Why single out Muslims. As other posters have pointed out, acts of violent mutilation are not uncommon among Christians either so why not pick on them?

I can just imagine social workers about to pounce.

Are you saying Muslims are beyond reproach?


Would you say why single out Christians if the thread was about them?


Some black americans brand themselves in memory of their history. You dont have to be religous to be f***ed up in the head.

Yeah, just not white.

I didn't single them out, I merely pointed out one of the groups that do it. Particularly at this time when certain elements calling themselves muslims, and doing terrible things in the name of Islam, appear to be mentally challenged in their behaviour to say the least.

I'm thinking about youngsters (and no doubt older people) who self harm, they are considered mentally ill and the mental health service endevours to treat them to make them better. Perhaps this behaviour by some muslims (and some other faiths) is an illness and could be treated. I'm not suggesting health services, but perhaps, negotiation, better education, less discrimination, preventing ghettos from developing etc. would reduce thier need to turn to such extreme acts.

And as far as other faiths self mutilating, the only extreme action I see Christians taking is to organise the odd jumble sale, coffee morning or perhaps a sing along and the village hall. Not burning down embassies, terrifying innocent people and threatening entire cultures.

Yes of course.

If religious nutters want to mutilate themselves that's up to them but I don't see why Muslims doing it means they have a propensity to violence but Christians haven't. That just doesn't make any sense to me.

I dont think anyone has said Muslims have a propensity to violence in this thread. You just dont like seeing your Muslim Masters critisised.

 

[Superphil]

Yes of course.

You wouldn't say muslims have a propensity to violence, they f***ing do, have you read the news recently?

As for other faiths, I've yet to see crowds of christians massing and demanding executions of newspaper editors, or publically threatening to kill people, or burning down embassies.

Don't take this a a racist post, I really am as far away form a racist as it's possible to be, but you have to look at what's going on.
