Read the bible?
Sure, but I was mostly responding to this:
I don't see why people seem to hate it.
If Chris Brown for instance said something like "it's fine to have sex with slaves who are married to one of your defeated enemies" ("And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess"), we'd rightly condemn him and use it as justification for our distaste for him. I'd feel the same way about someone using Deuteronomy 22:13-21 to justify their distaste for Judaism or Christianity. I think it's to the credit of individual members of those religions that they reject such doctrines.
at least their targets are what you could consider an "active" enemy.
The justification given by al-Qaeda was that every member of the US is culpable in the crimes of the regime due to their paying taxes. This warped viewpoint was rightly critiqued in the New York Times, though a similar formulation was given a few days prior justifying attacking Palestinian citizens IIRC. Kinsley from the New Republican also claimed Nicaraguan citizens were fair game and the "blood and misery" would be worth it should "democracy... emerge".
Various guerrilla groups operating in the Congo, Rwanda, etc. would likely not identify as either.
I know most Hutu are Christian or Muslim, likewise with the Tutsi. After looking it up, 95% of
Congolese people are Christian
. Actually, if you want an example of Christian extremism from Africa, check out the Stepping Stones Nigeria documentary.
On the other hand, you rarely see a prominent outcry from "normal" Muslims against their radical sects.
Here
, for instance.
Here
too. Perhaps their lack of prominence in the US is a feature and not a bug?
The Dark Knight Rises, with Bane and his men being terrorists.In both of them, the terrorists aren't really specified in their beliefs but they are still terrorists.
Not the best example perhaps, given the fact that Bane was raised in an oriental prison and Wayne's evil Arabic girlfriend tries to kill him.

I was planing on Imperial Agent.
Good. By far the best story there is to tell in this game. Its like James Bond.
IN SPACE!
(And the agent is pretty badass putting Jedi and Sith Lords alike to shame using only wits, skill, and high-tech gadgets. Plus they get the best ship, they get some of the best companions, AND they get 2 AWESOME voice actors. Female Agent is voiced by the same woman who voices Female Hawke in Dragon Age 2)

So, part of our Australian welfare package is that the government makes a fortnightly payment to people who are unemployed and looking for work. A whole host of people on Facebook are arguing that it's not enough to pay for rent, food, and other costs of living.
From my perspective, however, including rent in there is basically suggesting that the government is paying for you to move out of home and look for a job. I'm struggling to understand why the government should be paying for you to move out of home at all in the first place. Surely spending on schools, on unemployed parents, on national security, even, would be better justified than try to argue that uni graduates have some unalienable right to move out of home and that they NEED welfare to support them if they can't afford it themselves.

When I talk to someone with a different accent from mine I adapt to it, I don't want to do that cause it could come off as mocking but I can't help it, when I was a kid I had an arab accent for like 8 years. Anyway... I now have a korean accent.
=O then you MUST speak with me. That way you can add a cool Venezuelan accent to your repertoire and make people swoon as you talk to them with a spicy latina accent.

And what about all the non-uni graduates who are looking for work and have already moved out years ago, or graduates that can only hope to find work away from home? I'd imagine that's what the people arguing were more discussing.
