Confronting Religious Bigotry
January 5, 2006 | Vanity (based on recent events)

Posted on 01/05/2006 3:53:37 PM PST by E Rocc

The Admin Mods came through in fine fashion today. Rather than deleting disgusting comments from a thread which turned truly repulsive, they locked it and left it up, with the following addendum:

Too many of the comments here are a disgrace to FreeRepublic.

IMO, anti-Islamic bigotry (as opposed to comments against Islamist fundamentalism and its excesses) is just as contrary to both the American and the conservative spirit as anti-semitism or any other form of bigotry, and needs to be confronted when seen.

Just like it's the left's duty to slam the anti-Americans in its ranks.

It is not 'bigotry' by my dictionary W7NCD Bigotry and prejujdice are merely postmodern terms for the lessons of experience and maturity. They're held dear by we that have earned them.

You had better believe it.

And for all of said morons that think we should kill Muslim children "before they get claws", just go straight to hell.

Out :)

The DEATH CULT known as islam should be eradicated, the PEOPLE THEMSELVES should be spared wherever possible.

Children especially can be taught the Truth.

Yes, of course we do.

Do we feel the same about the radical Israelis who formally invoked a death curse on Ariel Sharon as well?

you aren't going to stop a belief or a belief system by saying you want to eradicate it.

For more information, just see Nazi Germany.

But seriously, there are some on this forum, that think we should indiscriminately kill EVERYONE over there.

That's wrong. It's stupid. I personally think it's racist. It has nothing to do with their chosen religion, but it DOES give the bigots plenty of excuses to spew their hate.

Exactly. Islam needs to be swept into the ashbin of history just as Nazism was. They are both incompatible with civilized behavior.

I've read the thread, and I think it should have been pulled. It is an abomination.

Their chosen "religious" book says that they must kill you.

It isn't about race, there's nothing wrong with an Arab, etc.

For more information, see Japan.

I agree, it was disgusting. I expected a handful of those comments, but it was a strong majority on that thread that saw nothing wrong with wishing more had died in the collapse or hoping more buildings would collapse on innocents.

Nazism was successfully eradicated to the benefit of millions of currently prosperous, peaceful Germans. Sure, there are a few "Stormfront" Nazis but they have been marginalized and are a threat, really, to no one.

It can happen to Islam. Islam in its current form cannot coexist with the West in an increasingly global world. One or the other will have to cede. I would rather it be the fanatical, totalitarian Islam that falls to history than us.

I was just talking to someone else about this thread, and I'm glad the Mods left it up for all to see.

Thanks for your thread, E Rocc !

it isn't even Islam as a whole.

It's the Wahabbi version of Islam that is the problem.

but you still won't defeat a belief system by saying you will eradicate it.

Nazism was socialism with a aryan supremacy bent to it. That hasn't disappeared from Europe. Look at what's there. It just took a different name.
