UK to leave EU

[Excited Penguin]

Nor should you, I was just making my point. Which, I take it, you took, since you chose to deflect.

Why? You simply asked me, if he's a muslim. Yes, he is. Guess why he left. Because of the Taliban and extremism. Now, excuse, if I didn't rub into his face that his religion is bullshit. That may be the difference between us. Mght also be the reason, why you are using the broad brush. Since you don't feel the need to talk. You just look at the brown skinned guy and are suspicious of him. As you were explicitly saying. The "brown" is my addition, but otherwise, you have to have some way of distinguishing who's muslim and who's deserving of your suspicion based on that.

Yes, I have just such a tool of distinguishing, and I believe I already alluded to it. Conversation. The first and last resort of civility. You, on the other hand, are the one who is prejudiced here, oh so ironically. You are also deliberately misinterpreting what I said, although, of course, subtly enough that you can deny it once it's pointed out. - I never said you should talk the finer points of theology with him, simply find out if he has any Islamist tendencies before you make up your mind about him. Despite how this suggestion evidently makes you think I'm advising you to alienate every possible brown-skinned immigrant who might conceivably be muslim that you come across of, by asking inappropriate questions, I'll remind you that you're the one that made a claim about someone's character as part of an argument against having reservations at the prospect of a certain unstable religious group being assimilated by Europe, and as such, the burden is on you to either consolidate that claim or retract it. Not that it would matter much. Choosing to argue for the moral inculpability of a whole ideological group by offering the characterization of a single individual is particularly fallacious.
