Why can't Muslims Take Criticism? (Page 193) MJ59: Seems like a stand up bloke!! Mike Tyson is a former heavyweight world boxing champion from Brooklyn, New York. Nicknamed “Iron Mike,” Tyson committed several crimes in his youth, including robbing stores, pick pocketing, and mugging people. In September 1991, Tyson was indicted on one count of rape, two counts of criminal deviant behavior, and one count of confinement. He was accused by Desiree Washington, a contestant in the Miss Black America Pageant, who claimed that Tyson forced himself on her in his Indianapolis hotel room. Tyson was convicted on the count of rape as well as on two counts of deviate sexual conduct. The judge sentenced Tyson to ten years in prison, as well as a $30,000 fine. The conviction was upheld in the appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Tyson’s rape case appeal once again. Tyson was released after serving three years and six weeks from the Indiana Youth Center in Plainfield, Indiana. Since Tyson’s release, it seemed that he could not escape a life of crime. In 1997, Tyson’s boxing license was revoked for one year after he bit off a chunk of opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear during a boxing match. In the following years, Tyson was charged with two counts of misdemeanor assaults, one felony count of possession of drug paraphernalia, one felony count of drug possession, and two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.   Zanjan: What was that woman doing in his hotel room, alone with him???? It's the first thing a mother teaches her daughter NEVER to do. Some people like to do bad things just for the stimulation.  ghostgeek: Having a reputation for being a little naughty is clearly bait at the end of the hook for some people.  tigermp125: I HAVE NO FUCKEN CLUE WHAT YOUR SAYING.

Who he was cos Mobs thought he was too "white" I wouldn't fall for them old coulered lies ghostgeek: Anyway, to strike a more jovial note, what about this from a few years ago: An Egyptian Islamist leader with ties to the Taliban has called for the "destruction of the Sphinx and Giza pyramids", suggesting these "idols" contravene the laws of Islam, reports Al Arabiya. Murgan Salem al-Gohary, who served two jail sentences under former President Hosni Mubarak for inciting violence, called on Muslims to remove the ancient Egyptian relics in an interview broadcast Saturday. "All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues", he said, speaking on a popular Egyptian private television channel. [ https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/iv-drip/destroy-the-sphinx-and-the-pyramids-says-egyptian-jihadist-8306477.html ] Something not likely to improve Egypt's attraction as a holiday destination. ghostgeek: Seems it runs in the religion: "It is sad that we see some Muslims are extremely proud of these ancient monuments that were built by infidels and even consider them part of their history," IS militant, Abu Nasser al-Ansari, said outside the destroyed Nabu temple. "Early Muslim leaders wanted to destroy the pyramids but were not able to. We now have the capabilities to blow up the pyramids and sphinx." The militant added that the last remaining wonder of the ancient world was the "work of the devil" and a symbol of "moral degeneracy".

Seems our urban freedom fighters want to do the same: Oddly enough, the Pyramids have instead been cited multiple times in an online discussion between Twitter users on whether or not these massive structures built as tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt's Old Kingdom more than 4,000 years ago should be torn down for allegedly having been built by "slaves." "Take down the #Pyramids. Slaves built them!" was one tweet advocating destruction of the monuments that have stood the test of time.
