What you find funny says a lot more about you than you might realize.  

What I find funny Roflol funny is the opposition making a bold arrogant statement based on a empty unchecked assumption. When you see a Roflol emoji it's because one of you have made a critically false statement of had a serious laps in logical judgement.

Why would that be funny? because again these errors are made in such a way as to suggest that the position taken in error is indeed the superior one, arrogantly so.

you can't tell me if a Christian was making all kinds of demonstratively false claim concerning science and logic this would not be funny to you all.

Arrogance isn't funny in itself, Drich. But your body of work attests to the fact that this is something you wouldn't know.

I would be worried about the mental state of an atheist going overboard with ROFL emojis, particularly vs. something as common and sad as you describe. It comes off as kind of...maniacal.

you do know they do not share the same Imams right?

That means 1.4 billion people have their Imams who 'interpret' and allow for Jihad, and the Shia have a different set.
that leaves 8 to 10% belonging to the Shia and twelver, and the rest aren't even worth mentioning.

Again If 1.4 billion all think the same way and that way allows them to wage jihad at the prompting of religious leaders then who cares if the shia take a more passive role or one of the sub sets of shia takes even a more Christ like road. The fact of the matter is 9 out of 10 Muslims think it is ok to wage jihad against you and me and everyone else in the west!

So then WHY invite them in?

Well, 1.4 billion people don't think the same way, so there goes your point. And you made up the bit about 9 out of 10 Muslims thinking it's okay to wage jihad against me and you and everyone else in the West. It's a bald-faced lie, Drich.

Or were you giving us an example of a Christian getting easily checked facts wrong?

You all give no quarter, so you really should not expect it in return.

That said, If you approach me with respect I go out of my way to explain whatever you are at odds with in detail even if it means weeks of back and fourth without an ill word said.

However, if you approach the topic as if you were the master of it, you'd better be. Or I will 'check' you every chance I get.

It wasn't JUST wrong. It was funny, too. It's not weird to laugh at something that's funny, Drich. Unkind maybe, but not weird. We're not asking for quarter. We're asking you not to weirdly spew out multiple ROFL emojis at things that wouldn't be funny even if they were wrong. I know it's easier than taking the trouble to explain why you think something is wrong, but maybe should think about using a greater variety of emojis more sparingly.

Perhaps if he A/S/Ks them often enough he can know the truth with regard to each Muslim. Or maybe his invisible friend will be kind enough to step in and enlighten him on a case-by-case basis.

Or perhaps not. But then if he fails to learn the Truth, would it be his fault for not earnestly seeking long enough?

And if he does not find the answers we know to be correct, we can just send him back and tell him to keep A/S/K-ing until he does.

If someone wanted to cherish Mein Kampf in this day and age I don't give a flying fuck. No matter what way you try to twist and turn it, you're trying to prosecute people for ideas as if they are actions. Not only is that unconstitutional, it's immoral, and subconsciously hypocritical. You are pathetic. Look at yourself, cowering in fear over an ideology that you disagree with. How sad that we've reached the state as a country where we suggest deporting people who aren't inherently "like" us. How sad that we've reached a state where we stop seeing people as people but as violent criminals waiting to strike. How sad that as a society we've made a conscious decision to identify people by their religion, before identifying them as humans. How fucking sad that I have to sit here explaining to someone why we shouldn't prosecute every Muslim in our society for terrorist acts they have not and likely will not commit. 

When did we decide to start playing god with the less fortunate?

It's quite obvious that deporting Muslims would arouse scandal. Seriously, instead of deporting them I propose to, first of all, close Western borders for refugees and mere immigrants from Islamic countries, due to a danger related to intensified recent bombings. Also, we should stop allowing Muslims building their temples in Europe. I don't care if you were born here or you're a foreigner.

Showing a solidarity with other countries is not going to reduce terror.
Hugging a Muslim is not going to reduce terror.
Calling people islamophobs, bigots, racists or xenophobs is not going to reduce terror.
Enforcing Muslims to assimilate with others is not going to reduce terror.
The only way to reduce terror is to open your eyes and see that ISLAM is the cause of terror.
