If you called for all chritans to fuck off and die I would ask you to calm down for the same reasons. I am not defending Islam I am defending people who happen to be Islamic from being labelled evil because of your prejudiced views.
Quote:First of all, your excuse is pathetic, and I'll tell you why. But before I do that, let me just add, that this here is a heated topic for me, so please don't take my tone personally and don't get offended. So I apologize for what I just said and what I'm about to say.
I've seen with my own two eyes posts about putting Catholics in jail or killing them outright. Posts that got kudos, both of them if I remember correctly.
Lets have a look at these posts in context and look at who kudos'd them.
Quote:I've seen similar posts in the more distant past as well. So I'm just not going to believe you when you say you'd react the same to an attack on Christians. I just won't. You're just saying that because I pointed out the elephanty double standard in the room.
I do not have double standards and regularly stick up for people condemning groups rather than individuals.
Quote:My labeling them evil is right on. They are evil because they subscribe to an evil religion. Just like Christians are. Only Muslims are far worse.
There you go again, using lazy stereotypes.
Quote:I cannot stress this enough. Islam is an ideology, not a birthright. It's not a race. It's not something you get born into.
Really are you that dense. The majority of Muslims are Muslims precisely for that reason.
Quote:It's a set of ideas. It's a very backwards, violent and idiotic set of ideas that is holding society back, just like most religions are. Islam is the worst, though.
And most Muslims don't whole heartedly endorse all of it like adherents of every other religion.
Quote:Should people be pressured into disavowing those ideas? Yes, they should. Should they be treated like holocaust deniers in public? Yes, definitely.
Your problem is, I think, you're reading more in my words than there is there to be read. I'm nothing if not honest and straightforward, so go ahead and ask me whatever ridiculous notion you happen to be thinking about me right now. I don't know, something like do I actually feel violent towards Muslims as a group? Do I really want them killed?
Do you really believe that all Muslims are evil?
Do you fear all Muslims?
Do I even need to answer that, or are you going to admit just how silly those kinds of questions are?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
