Yet other metaphysical systems don't have such apanages of a religion which Buddhism has: palces of worship, priests, monks, rites and flock. I agree, though, that Buddhism is not a TYPICAL religion, yet a religion it stays.

Yet again a truth by repetition from Gilrandir...
"even purist Buddhism has temples and monks." Yeap. It is a system of belief. Still doesn't qualify as a religion, which definition is the link between the creator and the created.
A lot of systems of belief have (had) the equivalent of temples and monks, that doesn't make them religions.
Note that I used his definition.
You just demonstrated your lack of understanding of the definition of a system of belief and a religion.

Interview with the lead singer of the band, read some things I didn't read before. A lot of people must have known about it.
Yeah this is shocking and 2 months before the massacre the venue was sold by aristocratic israeli jews to someone else maybe mossad knew about this operation and told them. The bataclan had been attacked by muslims before for holding pro-israel. The army of Islam said this venue was attacked because the owners are jews?
They were in the venue early. That implies some staff were in on it.
I got in a lot of trouble for saying that. I know for sure that they were in there early. I remember them staring at my buddy. I just chalked it up to Arab envy. You know what I mean? When a Muslim sees a cocky American dude with tattoos, he stares at him. I realized later it was Abdeslam and he was staring at my buddy because they thought he was a threat. There’s no denying the terrorists were already inside, and they had to get in somehow. During the shooting I went outside and the backstage door was propped open. How did that happen?
Not going to get into eveythring, but it kinda baffles me that islamism isn't seen as the creeping poisen that it is. Western eyes aren't equiped to understand it. It baffles friends of mine who are from there, andd the total inanability to acknwoledege an uncomortatable truth amazes me as well, again and again and again. Islam is not peace. Those who think it is are screwing over people who were just not born there, congratulation with your satisfaction. Things are going great here as well no. It's only a matter of time before the sleepers are activated, and it's going to hurt.
Your terrible typing skills aside, did you find 3 pot-smoking hippies who told you islamists are people too and then assumed that the mainstream loves islamists? What are all the secret services doing with their islamist watchlists? What do you want? Concentration camps? Islamist burnings? Did you know that about 30000 people die every year in Germany from bad air, so if you own a car with a combustion engine and use it often, you're a murderer. I also heard that peanut oil is carcinogenic. Why is it acceptable to kill people with car exhausts and peanut oil? Because they're useful? So who are islamists useful to? Nationalists? Why are nationalists poor and unemployed then? Follow the money? Who makes most money with peanut oil? The gun lobby?
You know nothing Hussie, a good Marrocan friend of mine had two nightclubs in Utrecht and a few coffeeshops in Amsterdam, his little brother orders whores from Miami, he can do that because he is the captain of Maracco's national team and also plays for Russian clubs, he makes 15 million a year. My mate isn't getting any of that because he is an outcast in his family because he REALY dislikes islam. Feel free to ask him why he is only 2.20 meters high.

Actually you just demonstrated a lack of understanding based on an Abrahamic worldview. A religion doesn't need to have a creator, it is a set of beliefs on the relationship of the worshipper and the world and has metaphysical aspects. Wiki it don't just take my anti religion view on it...
Buddhism is listed as one of the major religions so I don't see how your plank in eye outweighs 500 million adherents?
You could add that it is a faith based system.
The two main strains: devotional and mystical; each having a definite element of faith.
In the first, that the Buddha did exist and continues to exist. Sworn to continue in connection with this reality until all sentient beings escape; thus the Buddha can be prayed to, and may aid a devotee.
In the second, that enlightenment (whatever it is) is possible and that one may possibly achieve it.
Best to put it here I guess. Really nasty attack in Baghdad over 200 confirmed dead already and many wounded My condoleances what a nightmare.
What the fuck is this.
France ‘Suppressed Reports of Gruesome Torture’ at Bataclan Massacre
Quote:
– A French government committee has heard testimony, suppressed by the French government at the time and not published online until this week, that the killers in the Bataclan appear to have tortured their victims on the second floor of the club.
The chief police witness in Parliament testified that on the night of the attacks, an investigating officer, tears streaming down his face, rushed out of the Bataclan and vomited in front of him just after seeing the disfigured bodies.
The 14-hour testimony about the November attacks took place March 21st.[..]
[...]and the torture was, victims told police, filmed for Daesh or Islamic State propaganda. For that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said.[...]
[...]The news follows reports that German police sat on the huge number of sexual assaults committed by Islamist migrants in Cologne, which a secret report estimated at thousands, not hundreds.
In France's case it's for the best that they didn't tell about the torture, things are hard enough as it is, it's best that families don't know. You don't always have to tell what really happened. What Germany did and still does s really ugly though, they are messing with numbers. The childles mutti's little children's crimes are ignored when they can. That's not what I say but what the frustrated German police says themselve, they are not allowed to do their job if it involves the childless Mutti's little children.
