. I have never denigrated allied soldiers for being African or muslim

Of course, what I said was that you denigrated Allied soldiers because they were Muslims, not for the fact that they were Muslims. You questioned the loyalty of Africans under Vichy occupation.

Rather, I have simply sought a more accurate accounting of the numbers and roles of French colonial muslims on the allied side than has been given to date.

Then stop fudging the numbers.

She is entitled to hold that religious belief without being slandered as a bigot or maliciously compared to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by zimdog

Its an objective comparison to the official Iranian position, which holds that the Baha'i worship a false god. If it's donna's perogative to attack the faith of other Freepers, I can call her misguided opinions what I believe them to be.

I have never insulted muslim African soldiers in WWII - merely demanded an accurate accounting of their numbers, roles, and contributions

You insult Muslim African soldiers when you belittle their service (such as when you suggest that they only fought on the periphery of the war, and never in the heart of Europe, despite the fact that 44,000 Muslim West African soldiers were on the front lines defending France from the Nazi invasion.

Eleni121 made no such insult.

eleni121 flatly stated, several times, that no Muslim troops fought for the Allies. This is an insult to the Muslim troops who fought for the Allies and it is an insult to their non-Muslim brothers who fought alongside them in the battle against fascism.

Another personal attack by Zimdog against multiple freepers. There are very few if any freepers out there denying that there's such a thing as a non-arab muslim. Zimdog invented this strawman slander to justify his personal attacks on other freepers.

Apparently you didn't read the thread that you cherry-picked that post from. And on top of that, you're mischaracterizing my posts. It should be clear that my truck with with people insisted -- in the face of clear evidence to the contrary -- that all Arabs are Muslims. This is very different than lqclamar's claim that I "invented a strawman" claiming that all Muslims are Arab.

This is intellectually dishonest. Unfortunately, it has come to be par for the course for lqclamar. And I'm sure that he will try to call me to the carpet to suggesting that highlighting his back-to-back intellectual dishonest (intellectual dishonesty in defense of his intellectual dishonesty) is somehow a personal attack.

...and an admission by Zimdog that his purpose here is not to discuss, but rather an effort to penalize any Freeper who disagrees with him or objects to his abusive and inflamatory personal attacks on them.

More like a statement of purpose that I am here to discuss issues with fellow conservatives in an intellectually honest environment. Your recent posts have shown that you don't value that.

For the record #182 contains yet another inflamatory, false, and personal attack-laden post by Zimdog - all in violation of the rules of FR.
