And you don't seem to get the difference between political leaders doing the incitment and enraged crowds. Maybe you don't have these kinds of guys in America, though, going by the state of the current republican field I doubt that. Or you are simply more indolent to the terminology used. At times it's word for word Nazi jargon. You just have to swap muslim with jew and we're exactly at the same point we were 80 years ago as far as words are concerned.
Haha, it never takes long for Nazis to be brought up I guess.
I think you are extrapolating way too much. I'm talking about a really specific statement "Not all Muslims are Terrorists" That is said all the time and is a dishonest argument. That's what I'm talking about.
What's that knucklehead who posts here from Australia whose every thread was about the evils of Islam? Al Stoner, right? Pretty sure he's shopped the "all Muslims" trope on more than one occasion. Times like that, "not all" needed to be said.
Having said that, it'd be nice if more politicians were more nuanced ... but demagoguery gets votes, unfortunately.
