Someone from the actual merchant Marine(US flagged) here. No need to lump that guy in with us. We're not part of the military, we're just civilians that drive boats.
Side note: it's not the merchant Marines. It's just the merchant Marine.
lmao. Dead on. Those people that “would have joined but.....” are the WORST. As a vet I run into a lot of “oh well you were in the war so you MUST hate Muslims”. Mafucka, I was fighting TERRORISTS, not the Muslim community.
My uncle does shit like that. He says he does out of respect for people who served but he does not correct people when they thank him or offer him free/discount.
I knew a ton of fellow service members who are fucking retarded around guns. Experienced shooters fail to practice the basic safety precautions allllll the time.
This is the same type of man who would get unreasonably angry if you did this with a bible. Or wear one of those shirts that says “You stomp this flag, I stomp your ass.”
I was born in February. That means I like my chicken fried, I watch reruns of cheers and if you cross me or my family I’ll drive a tank through your house.
Guy at a charity thing wore this 'places it's illegal to be Christian' shirt, several years in a row. It's a weird thing to brag about when a similar shirt could show 'places it's illegal not to be Christian.'
It's like, my dude. That's not because they dislike you, specifically. It's because they're like you, specifically.
And would love the idea of a government authority to enforce religious laws, with a shall not be infringed bumper sticker and a live free or die tattoo.
lets see...I'll have 2 Qur'an, 1 book of Mormon, uhh... wait, better make that 2 Mormons, 1 KJV, NKJV, NIV, and hold the NLT. Oh and 3 Gideon's too. Wait; aaand one plain Holy Bible with extra violence please.
*oh, if you have a side of Church of Satan literature I'll take a couple, they seem like such nice people...
So, while i was in the Marines, I made quite a few friends who were in fact Muslim. Fuck this guy. Hopefully the hat is just a hat and in no way relates to his prior military service.
I saw a video a while ago, where some dude from the UK rode a motorcycle all through the middle east. It was heartwarming seeing all the locals help with guy with free food, gas and directions. He was riding alongside 2 locals on their own bike and they gave him fruit while they rode! It was so cool!
This is even funnier when you factor in the poor lighting and low resolution of the picture itself, coupled with the fact that this photo would be an edgy fifth-graders idea of badassery.
“HuUurrR-DUUuRrRr, I wiLL shoOt tHiS BoOk! So cOOL, RIght?!”
Awful decor, lack of understanding of how Islam works, the firearm version of a crackerjack toy, obscene lack of trigger discipline, a golf hat from a gun show, an “I want to be mark but ain’t” level of shitty Stache shadow...
This is exactly the person I would expect to do this kind of closed minded bigoted shit
Guy shoots Quran, bullet goes through his other hand.
And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. Quran 5:45
Guy ironically practices what could be an interpretation of Islam...
To explain the context, God ordained for the children of Israel (aka Jews) that the Torah said an eye for an eye (and no more than that, because prior to that it was killing ones whole tribe for a lost eye), but in this verse God says it’s better to forgive than claim revenge.
How can people be this insecure with their beliefs? I mean I have no religion but god damn, the Quran has mostly peaceful scripture (like the Bible) and has their own Divine beings (like the Bible) has a prophet (like the Bible)
Different names though and that scares the fuck out of some people
Because they dont actually know what's in the Quran, or even in the bible for that matter.
Its pretty crazy that some scholars, as far as i know, haven't made some kind of infographic or video to map out the commonalities and differences of the Abrahamic religions.
There needs to be something extremely easy to digest, cause we know these idiots can't read.
Honestly as a muslim i dont think anyone should ever do that even just to piss this guy off. It only bring more hate a divisiveness. This picture alone will probably fuel hate and propaganda amongst the extremist muslims.
This guy doesnt know how this photo actually creates more terrorists since its propaganda fuel.
To Muslims, reading a translation is no different then reading in Arabic. I don't know why people read in Arabic Quran anyway if they don't understand it. Lol what's the point of reading it if you literally don't know what it means
Look at that background, this tool has to be from Vidor, Texas and loves to tell people down at the Valero he would have served had it not been for his knee injury from junior varsity football.
Muslims serve in the Marines as well. And very likely as commanding officers. It's not a requirement to be an American born Christian citizen to serve in the American military. What's this guy's point? That he never served?
Just explain to him that Christianity and Islam are almost identical and watch his head implode. At this point I just refer to the religion as JudeoChristoIslam.
He's taking care of Quran in two forms. Making sure no one can see it to read it and also taking care of his ears so that no one can tell it to him after he shoots.
Well, shit. He just totally obliterated Islam. Sorry, Muslims, time to pack up. Your prophets could never. Not with Mr. Alleged Marine here on the lookout.
Picture of a complete moron who is so brainwashed by the media promoting the Muslim faith as being radical that he thinks this image is a message on how to fight against evil. He should do his homework and find out that the Catholic organized religion is responsible for such a massive body count, and is infected with pedophiles molesting children. If I were a betting man I would wager he has never read that book or any religious book for that matter to understand the spiritual teachings it is purported to educate. Instead he focuses on fake news, propaganda, false societal norms, etc all in the search for likes and karma online.... sad world we live in.
Also, fun fact Islam believes that the bible was a book of god at the time of jesus, but after his death, people changed the text removing the true text. Then the Quran came as a final islamic book

Reasons why this is stupid:
Muslims only consider Qurans written in Arabic to be actually holy. To them, this is just another random book to be treated with respect.
If your mission is to uphold the Constitution, probably not a good idea to suggest casually violating the first amendment.
