Discrimination: seeing some random Muslim on the street and labelling him a member of alqaeda.Logic: A man with a Middle Eastern (southwestern Asian) accent, with a puffy overcoat on a hot, summer day walking in a place frequented by many people is pulled over and searched for explosives.
OK, I'll admit it. What does 'bookmark' mean? Thanks.
Exactly. And they are unwittingly falling into the trap of characterizing this as a religious war rather than a war against terrorists and religious fanactics.
This is precisely what Bin Laden and his instigators WANT.
I have heard so many Muslims being interviewed, and have read their views on the internet, who completely disprove what you are saying. Their "failure to communicate" may be nothing more than your, and others, "failure to listen". Yes, failure to listen. They have explained, time and time again, how they perceive their teachings, what morals they live by, how they in this modern day truly believe. They do not believe every word in the Koran to be "literal". Just as we do not always take everything in the Bible as being in a literal sense, neither do they.
The peace loving Muslims HAVE told us in plain English where they stand. Stop and listen. Always good advice when trying to learn truths. :)
You're playing with the Koran in the way that some people love playing "Bible Bingo". I was affected just as much as anyone by 9/11. Our son went to war. Do not confuse me with someone who doesn't care, or doesn't understand the dangers of Islamic extremists/facists. My son fought along side of Muslims in the military. He protected them, and they protected him. They are ALL fighting the same enemy and dying in the fight. Some here on FR have come right out and said that they do NOT support any of our Muslim soldiers either. See what I mean? Hatred is blinding.....it's been proven time and again on this website.
Then there's this nice fellah who gets sentenced to nearly 30 years and prison while claiming that kidnapping, rape, and false imprisonment are part of his "muslim behaviors".

And you have let your naive, wholesale TRUST of all of them suspend your judgement AND your sense of self-preservation.
Trust away- I can't stop you, and the next terrorists who are pretending to be harmless are certainly counting on you! I consider you disgraceful- are you going to change to avoid the label? Why should I?
I didn't anticipate an argument- that TRUST enabled the perpetrators of 9-11 is beyond argument.
But please, don't misinterpret my post.
It's ISLAM, as a belief system, that I hate. If the humans infected by it could purge their brains of it, I'd have little problem with them.
Are any Christians out there upset if I call Christian Identity and similar sects, examples of "Christian Fascism"?
Speaking for myself, a loud NO. In fact, scream it from the rafters because such nonsense is an insult to Christianity and I feel a DUTY to make it clear that I abhor their ideas and find them disgusting! THERE, try and get THAT kind of statement from some 'peace-loving' Muslims about THEIR religious fanatics!
What if their personal "beliefs" are showing hatred and intolerance? Seems to sum up about half of the queeranus! The other half is permission and commandments to commit MURDER, molest children, Beat women, and enslave non slimeys!
Ya just gotta respect those values, or otherwise the brain deadites on DU will call you a beegot!
I may be an intolerant bigot, but I'm not gonna be a willing sacrifice to satanallah!
True. Methinks these people doth protest too much.
And how often were you called Nazi by people who knew you were of German extraction?
You're truly ill! ROFL! You are actually accusing American Muslims of being selfish because some sick, demented terrorists who used the name of Islam to justify their attacks on America and elsewhere?! I suppose you think all of our American Muslim neighbors got some secret memo from the terrorists. Forget that Muslims died in the attacks of 9/11 and terrorist attacks elsewhere in the world.
If some white, Christian extremists blow up a bunch of people am I, as a Christian, who had NOTHING to do with them or their beliefs, supposed to be held accountable for their murderous actions?! Should I be ashamed of myself for being a Christian because of these sick, evil, demented people?
IMO, your mindset is bordering on being just as sick and demented as those terrorists we're fighting against.
You're right about that. This is not a religious war, and those who are attempting to make it so, have lost all perspective and, I might add, their souls. If they are Christians at all, they should be repenting right about now.
What are the tenants of Christian Identity that you are against (if you are up to it, could you give a brief synopsis of the group)?
I agree. Also, if anyone wanted to dig up dirt on Christians, and prove that Christians are NOT peaceloving people, they could get a mountain of filth from some comments being made here on FR.
Try voicing complaints about the real perpetrators of your discontent: Islamic terrorists. The silence is deafening.
I will always oppose Islamic fascists, terrorists, and extremists. I have no problem with Muslims who are willing to live in peace with their neighbors and yes, I do recognize that they exist.
"Sorry, but you have allowed your hatred for Islamic facists/extremists/terrorists to cloud your better judgement"
But according to you, according to your own words, hating terrorists is wrong. Is anyone who doesn't love Osama a bigot now?
Someone who hates all Muslims is wrong, but someone who thinks it's wrong to hate a terrorist is a lot worse.
A little tip. Calling people bigots and saying that arguing with them would be like arguing with a liberal isn't going to get people on your side. Your stereotyping of conservatives is no different from the way an extremist would stereotype all Muslims. You sound pretty liberal yourself, since liberals are always promoting nasty stereotypes about conservatives.
You, nor any other human creature, have the right to judge who is and isn't a Christian. That stated, a lot of nominal Christians on FR (who could be or could not be Christians) do express definitely nonChristian statements at times.
