Skyrad 0 #1 August 23, 2010 I've noticed that there is simply to many threads out there whos sole aim is to say nasty things about Muslims. Quite frankly its getting rather messy, so I have made this thread so that those of you who feel the need to vent your vitriolic hatred and misguided idea of what it means to be a 'Patriotic' American, can have a place to post your intollerance. I have deliberatly put the title in capital lettering so those of you who find it hard to read in small case can find your way here. You need not worry about suicide bombers getting into this thread as we have security on the door, so feel free to hang out and be a biggot, run around with pillow cases on your head or fly the Confederate flag behind the bar. However, if you are going to erect a flaming cross please do it out the back as it contravenes fire regulations. Other than that 'GO CRAZY!' (Ha ha look who I'm talking to)When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

(Ha ha look who I'm talking to) Yesterday I was visiting my stepson and his family. They have a devout Muslim family as neighbors on their block. My stepson asked his Muslim neighbor what he thought and felt about the NYC Mosque at Ground Zero. His neighbor's reply was he believed it was an insensitive decision and it should be constructed elsewhere in the city.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

wmw999 2,577 #9 August 23, 2010 Why is his opinion potentially representative of Muslim opinions about the mosque, but not representative of Muslim opinions about 9/11? I'll bet they were against that, too, but Islam gets no credit for their opinion in that case. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

jakee 1,586 #10 August 23, 2010 QuoteWhy is his opinion potentially representative of Muslim opinions about the mosque, but not representative of Muslim opinions about 9/11? Because it's a person he (or his stepson) has had personal contact with, lifting him out of that homogenous block of scary, duplicitous 'other' people and enabling him to be seen as an individual with his own thoughts and opinions.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

wmw999 2,577 #12 August 23, 2010 Were I a moderator I'd tell you that you had your one warning for a personal attack on another poster. The one problem with not being able to personally attack others is that some people, who only see the folks who agree with them, think that means they're right. Really it just means that they don't bother to read the stuff that disagrees with them because it messes with their world view.Wendy P.

BillyVance 35 #14 August 23, 2010 I don't hate all muslims. I just don't like the ones who want Sharia Law or don't want religious freedom for anyone but themselves, and are hell-bent on killing us.

It was called the "Waaaaaah" thread and gave everyone a place to cry. Unfortunately it didnt catch on.

Andy9o8 2 #25 August 23, 2010 Quote Many Brits had a problem with the US funding the IRA which caused us 41 years of grief. Yet I don't see or hear that being brought up all the time. That's part of the double-standard in the US: aid and support of terrorists by calling them "freedom fighters" is OK-ish as long as you're not burdened with an over-abundance of melanin. Race-based tolerance of terrorists is hardly uniquely American; there was plenty of British precedent from which to learn. For example, during the negotiations for the Irish Free State treaty in the early 1920s, then-cabinet minister Winston Churchill became fast friends with his former Irish arch-enemy, Michael Collins. Never mind that Collins personally murdered British nationals in Ireland, and ordered the assassinations of many more British nationals - he was a terrorist with British blood on his hands. And Churchill continued to cause direct British aid, including weapons, to be given the Collins-led Irish Free State faction during the Irish Civil War that followed the Treaty. But a few years later, when Mohandas Gandhi, who had served time in prison for peaceful, non-violent resistance to British rule in India, visited the UK and was granted warm welcome from prominent Brits in and out of government around the country, including a cordial audience with the King and Queen, Churchill refused to meet with him, deriding Gandhi as a despicable seditionist. Collins was as white as Paddy's pig, while Gandhi was quite the brown man. Coincidence? Not on your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
