That's ridiculous EP. Not all Muslims are not not unsafe.

No, it is not. When we are talking about Muslims we are talking about grown men who have chosen to follow a certain set of ideas. That particular set of ideas and their reputation as a source of violence in today's world is what scares me. Fuck them and fuck their backwards ideas. If they want acceptance from me, they should have better ideas.


You would think the same about Nazis.

Greetings bigot. My name is turtle. I am anti-Nazi and your ridiculous leaps in logic and persistent false dichotomies would annoy me if they didn't amuse me so much.

(That's my emphasis).
So you're calling me a bigot right before admitting to being one yourself?

Do describe those ridiculous leaps in logic and persistent false dichotomies you're referring to.

EP, I am good friends with a Muslim and he is nothing like a Nazi. He's a doctor and a super nice person who will do anything to help another person. He doesn't believe killing people is good, and completely disagrees with everything Isis does.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

What, so you can respond by providing me with more? I'm all laughed out now. Maybe later.

One of the most intelligent, decent men I've ever encountered is a Muslim doctor who helped to train me.

Things like this are the reason I don't like to generalize.

It's why despite being against religion, I'm not against religious people.
