Neat.

Listening to the lovely bells of Winchester, one of our great mediaeval cathedrals. So much nicer than the aggressive-sounding “Allahu Akhbar.” Or is that just my cultural upbringing?

Yes.

No. He's right Alluh Akbar is usually followed by a stabbing or an explosion.

Bells ringing are usually followed by a city wide chant of "SHAME"

That's hot as fuck.

a

I wish I didn't have to regularly listen to some retard gargling in a language nobody here speaks and every memorises.

Latin?

French*

It's painful to listen to tbh. 😣

Anything is on a public speaker...

French is painful to listen to tbh. 😣

We guillotined people for far less.

G_d damn Vatican II

This exists now

But he's right.

be right be white Choose one.

Sminem is that you?

this piqued my interest, whats the muslim version of church bells?

i know that sounds retarded but im drunk so heres a premature fuck yourself.

The sound of infidel heads bouncing in the dirt.

Inshallah

It's called a Call to Prayer and, to be fair, at can be quite beautifully sung.

Mosques will play it loudly and publicly much like church bells.

Yeah, I think bells are objectively nicer sounding but before you revoke my American citizenship, calls to prayer can be nice sounding too.

It literally never sounds like that when it's being blared out of a rack of shitty horn loudspeakers from a minaret

If only Muslims knew how to blast a sick beat and had some proper gear. France has the potential to be such a beautiful country.

If I'm not mistaken it's haram to add instruments to their nasheeds

Yeah but would it hurt to get some nice Bose PA system or something? Get those allahu akbhars sounding nice and crisp as they echo through the streets.

> Bose

Sure, if they want a sound system that is marginally better than the one they currently have at a price four times as much.

The euros in general drive around in their 1 cylinder little Fiats blasting the most dogfuck awful electronic music from their shitty speakers. The whole continent needs a Taliban-style music ban

Are you fucking retarded? 40% of Africa is Muslim. I guarantee they're can rip a beat better than your sickly white ass.

Uh. I think you are the retard here man. Have you considered the possibility that the post you're replying to on r/drama might be a fucking joke?

Have you considered the possibility that my post might be a joke?

Sorry man I already reported you to the bully police

And all over England shitty bell-ringers clang away on Sundays.

As an atheist with a background in hard science the worst thing about Twitter is how often it reveals your academic heroes to be as small-minded and racist as the people they oppose. Dawkins is the prime example. Brilliant man, right about a lot, racist and utter tool.

Im sure not wanting to hear people yell into a microphone is very racist, that's why I go to karaoke so I know at least who's not a Nazi.

If amplified singing in public is the problem can you point me to any of Dawkins tweets on busking?

I don’t like public displays of religion either but Dawkins takes pains to promise the beauty of Christianity while deriding Islam as less “good”. He’s a fucking hypocrite.

As an atheist I can tell you there is beauty and stupidity in both religions, just depends on where you look.

I'm just saying I enjoy the sounds of a man yelling over a tractor pull, and hope it can become a daily occurrence in my city.

Huh til islam is a race and not liking an islamic prayer is racist!

Fuck you dude

I'm sure he dislikes Muslims and Islam for purely theological reasons :)

Muslims aren't a race.

Ironically, Dawkins knows better than anyone that race itself is a bullshit concept which doesn’t align with modern science. However just because race isn’t real doesn’t mean racism isn’t. Similarly you can discriminate against a group of people, like Jews, who aren’t a race no problem at all.

Wow, Snappy is being very well-fed with pasta this week.

Nothing but the finest for our favourite bot

I feel similar to you. I have to credit "the god delusion" for helping to eventually becoming an athiest but some of Dawkins racism and sexism is really hard to accept. This is a man who was brought up in a pre colonial kenya whose father workerd a civil servant to the British Empire. Had colored servants as well btw.

Agreed. Being old as shit is a huge predictor of someone’s racial and sexual politics unfortunately. His comments about women are equally appalling.

Scientist kills one sacred cow

People cheer

Scientist kills another sacred cow

People boo

Really makes you think that maybe your cow is equally shitty, or maybe the scientist was a turd all along.

Weird, that is like nails on a chalkboard for me - couldn't make it longer than 10 seconds (that's what she said). To each their own I suppose.

It gets way less nice sounding when u listen to some retard with a loudspeaker shout it every day.

It gets way less nice sounding when u listen to some retard with a loudspeaker shout it every five times a day.

Inshallah

Well, they don't make noise five times a day randomly. Fortunately I don't have to suffer either where I live.

Imagine being a world renowned scientist and atheist and having to virtue signal that Christcucks > Mooselimbs.

He's not wrong.

One of them is statistically* less likely to culturally enrich your head from your shoulders.

*Does not apply to Uganda or South America

I think he regrets dunking on Christianity so much given he's not really allowed to dunk on Islam.

given he's not really allowed to dunk on Islam

He has criticized Islam plenty of times.

Islam is hideous and I hate it and I welcome its destruction

Shit when did this become SRS? Bells sound ok and don’t last very long.

Accusing me of SRS-posting.

Wow.

You've triggered by bussy so hard I'm literally shitting right now.

Not really you, the comments in the thread.

Thanks, fam. <3

Listening to the lovely bells of Winchester, one of our great mediaeval cathedrals. So much nicer than the aggressive-sounding “Allahu Akhbar.” Or is that just my cultural upbringing?

Does Dawkins believe that instead of bells mosques have people on top of minarets shouting "ALLAHU AKBAR" as aggressively as possible?

To be fair that would be hilarious.

It's 2018, and personal preference is no longer allowed 🙃

"I find white people more attractive."


"I find white people more attractive than monkey-looking blacks. (...) What!? Can I not have a right to have an opinion!?!?!!!oneoneone!!!"


If you passed kindergarten, you'll be able to spot the one difference.

Do you unironically believe people actually say the latter thing that aren't open and self proclaimed racists?

It was hyperbole. The people who actually want to defend a racist opinion tend to be more concealed about it.

right and when people say the first one, what you hear is the second one. a little thing called projection

I mean it is true tho

I agree with you but in this case the fedora tipper merely stated that he prefered a certain sound over another, so what the fuck are you talking about, retard?

Sure, "the aggressive-sounding Allahu Akhbar" is an absolutely neutral way to describe a phrase commonly used during prayers. Sad that you didn't pass the grade school exercise. See you in September.

lmao thanks for the whitesplaining. I'm muslim and I'd totally understand why someone who is not used to the Athan wouldn't like it. It's pretty much what he said.

Also yes, the athan has allahuakbar in it, what's the problem if he said ? It's literally the main part of the athan. Not everything is a dog whistle

Oh Racism Watchdog is back? That break wasn't very long, then.

That account makes me want to sub to r/dogfree

1 of the 4 Horsepersyns unironically defending Xtianity. Wewlad. We live in interesting times.

Hitch: definitely /ourguy/

Harris: most likely /ourguy/

Dawk: becoming /ourguy/?

Dennett: no idea tbh

I see he never lived near churchs. Anyone who was awakened by the ring of bells a sunday at ten after a night long bender will tell you that priest should be hanged.

Perfering one delusion over another

A Muslim call to prayer might as well be playing a Hitler speech through loudspeakers at an entire town

Fly an Apache helicopter over Rotherham blasting "Ride of the Valyries" eternally.
