THE 'WE HATE MUSLIMS' THREAD

[Skyrad 0]

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)

What about a "We hate self righteous wind-bags" thread?

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. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

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.

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?

Wow. Most Irish people are pretty smart. But you're a fecking idiot.

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.

Of course not, such we hate Christians and conservatives threads are quite common. Why should Muslims be left out?

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.

Those muslims can go to hell, where 72 of the ugliest virgins ever are waiting for them.

I tried the "post all of your (insert complaint here)" thread once in the bonfire in an attempt to clean up the garbage. It was called the "Waaaaaah" thread and gave everyone a place to cry. Unfortunately it didnt catch on. I've determined it's because posting in someone else's thread just isnt visible enough for your average ax grinding internet complaining whiner.

I'd give him a 2 week vacation from the forum.
It's a clear violation of the rules here.
The agreement to those rules should serve as our first warning.

There was a substantial amount of celebrating from large crowds of Muslims following that day. There were the expected declarations of sympathy, denouncing terrorism from many of their leadership, but still a lot of applause was present. It seems that you don't want to acknowledge that.

Islamofacism could not be as prevalent as it is unless a lot of Muslims at the very least choose to let it exist.

I hate Islamofacists. I think the term is quite appropriate, and Pres Bush was absolutely right to call it that. I would have a much greater opinion of Obama if he would do the same.

Pffft... Ok, everybody happy love love... I deleted my post because I was such a mean ol meany.

Bah!

[wmw999 2,577]

I'm perfectly willing to admit it, and it's a damn shame. So as long as we isolate those communities, and let them know why, that's correction.

Saying they're all alike isn't.

>I hate Islamofacists.

But you're OK with Christofascists and Agnostofascists? Odd. I don't like fascists at all. But to each their own.

I'd disagree, there was some celebrating by some Palastinians which was show almost 24/7 for days afterwards, there was a massive amount of sympaty from the majority of the Islamic world. I was in London at the time and many white British non Muslims were saying 'good, about time the Yanks got a taste of what terrorism is like' unpleasent but true.
There was even a BBC news discussion programe with an audience in which many members of the audiance said the same which was denounced in the House of Commons and susequently buried. 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.

I didn't see that as a belittling comment at all.
True, yes.
Smart ass, possibly.

But he is correct.

It's amazing what mass media can do to people's sheeple's perspectives.

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.
