You get mixed emotions ,well I do anyway.
Let's go with door # 2 for that one.

I hear about those sub human parasites torturing and murdering innocent people and I get angry and want to nuke the lot of them
What if they nuke a lot of places, is there a point where surrender for the good of the people is the better option?

but then, I'll run down to the convenience store and the two Ladies who are Muslim, working the counter are as polite and courteous as anyone you could meet and I really have a hard time equating those two Ladies with the monsters responsible for all the shyt going
Do they deliver??

on in the world. I guess the old saying, "don't throw the baby out with the bath water " comes to mind. Nothing cut and dry here gonna take reason and sense to deal with the scum and be able to know the difference.
Trust is an earned thing rather than a gift. Doing what a person says they will do is a great trust builder.

I remember the movie "Hud" with Paul Newman and Melvin Douglas . Cattle ranchers in West Texas back in the fifties. The old man spent his whole life working cattle and had developed quite the large herd. Then he purchased some cattle in Mexico that were infected with anthrax. Long story short, all of his cattle had to be destroyed to protect the surrounding ranchers . But humans are not cattle. You don't judge all of them by the actions of a minority. It is this reactionary mentality that collateral damage is acceptable to achieve an ends that bothers me. Cooler heads will prevail seems to me.
If he got a big payout and the infected cattle were chosen because of that trait then it could have been greed that was the animal behind it.

The people who are worried about bigotry regarding Muslims have all read the Koran and understand the instructions of the prophet, right?
How do those instructions compare to the ones in the Christian bible?

6 of one, half dozen of the other. How many Christians perform the eye-for-an-eye reciprocity thing?
Or how about this:
"If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; ... Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
-- Deuteronomy, Chapter 17:2-3,5"?

I am NOT and have never been a Christian. That being said, i understand that humans unfortunately generally need a religion of sorts to keep them more or less level, and indebted to the priests.
So you think that Deuteronomy indicated that Christians are the same as Muslims in their religious thinking?

I do not care.

Oh.

No, but that is irrelevant anyways. I was simply showing that the "instructions" written in the Bible are no worse than those written in the Quran. You did intimate that one was worse than the other. Specifically, you said, "The people who are worried about bigotry regarding Muslims have all read the Koran and understand the instructions of the prophet, right?"
How do those instructions compare to the ones in the Christian bible?"

Missed her point, I see. Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.


Yes, over all they are the same. The minority chooses to twist things, choose to read into what they want, choose to take things literally. Whereas the majority doesn't. Then there are those of low intelligence that only see what the minority does and subscribes that to the entirety.

I made a statement and then asked a question. You both tried to turn it into something it was not. Nice try with putting me down.

FFS, it is not racism. There are 3 or 4 types of the main genetic variations (types of human) that are Muslims.
This is discrimination. Or bigotry, if you prefer.
seriously stop googling stuff and pretending you know what you're talking about, this is the most embarrassing crap i've ever read. and this place is a cesspool of embarrassment.

race is a social construct, so Islamophobia is by definition racism. can you actually criticize Islam without being a racist? obviously. it's the type of criticisms which determine whether you're a useless neo nazi retard crippled drip like b00mer here. simple-mindedness like blanketing all muslims as terrorists is clearly racism . enough of this "durr islam isn't a race" garbage.
