Are you muslim? Üze Tengri basmasar, asra Yir telinmeser, Türük bodun ilingin törüngin kim artatı udaçı erti?
You don't have to be a muslim to be annoyed by the EDL.

It probably doesn't help that I've had to see Muslim friends and family members suffer as a result as well.(October 9, 2013 at 8:50 am)NoraBrimstone Wrote: Well, I'm in the UK.

I think when crimes like this happen, the perpetrators are just charged with the crime but rarely if ever charged with terrorism. I'm not sure that terrorism is even a legal crime in most jurisdictions with the exception of "terorristic threat," aka "criminal threat," like when you threaten to kill someone. However, that's not the same as using fear as a political weapon as terrorism as we know it is defined. I think they just charge murderers of abortion doctors with murder and arsonists of abortion clinics with arson, and they keep statistics of the attack along with other attacks on abortion clinics, but that's about it. I believe there is a federal crime against terrorism, but people who torch women's health clinics rarely get charged with that, though they should.
Oh, BTW, according to a Joplin Globe article, no abortion services are provided at this PP clinic.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
If you bet your money on a Christian perpetrator for these crimes, you will come out way ahead.
So far, you would not have lost a bet.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. |
