Also NIMBYism is almost as fun to say as fungible.

My favorite word is "Thixotropic", meaning to lose viscocity if mechanical energy is applied to a fluid, like how if you shake ketchup is starts flowing.

My favourite word is aa.  It's a type of lava.  You pronounce each "a" separately, like "ah-ah". :)

The bolded bit: the thing is NONE OF THEM ARE TRUE. Their religions are not fact so there is no such thing as "true religion" since no religion is true. Islam is what muslims do while practicing Islam.

Thanks for that Viking.  Here I thought all religions were true.

I think you missed the point. Islam, like all other religions, is not based on truth. So ultimately there is no such thing as "true Islam" or "real Islam". There is no such thing as "having a wrong interpretation" or "misunderstanding the real meaning of christmas". There is only what people do and the reasons they do what they do.

You can't say that Abu-Bakr-Al-Baghdadi has somehow misunderstood Islam or has a wrong interpretation of it. This is no such thing as a correct understanding of Islam and there is no such thing as a correct interpretation. It's all fiction.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
