Simon: I find it laughable that you try to lecture me on my reaction to the random senseless killing of people, when I've seen no one on this OP even take time to express regret for the deaths of the people in Stockholm.
I'm glad you're amused but I think expressing outrage targeted at the perpetrators and the ideology that inspired them is far more appropriate than your reaction which is to always leap to defending it.
I have no love for Islam, but know that most Muslims are good people that would no more chop off your head or run you down with a truck than you or I.
Except that isn't entirely true. A frighteningly sizeable proportion express views that they would be OK with bad things happening to non followers and apostates. In many countries it's a big majority and they act it out.
How come Muslim countries always dominate when it comes to "how much of an abuse riddled shit-hole have we made our country" tables?
Your insinuation that Muslims are some kind of robots that follow the Koran mindlessly and with no sense of morals is that of all bigots, imputing any faults of a small group as representing the entire spectrum of the larger group.
That is exactly what they are. Islam is a mental disease that destroys people's cognitive abilities. It's like the Walking Dead.
I'm not outraged at these posts, because that would imply that I'm shocked by what I see here. I see exactly what I expect to see when certain subjects are brought up. I would have exactly the same reaction if the target of these posts were any nationality or race.
Islam is neither a nationality or a race.
I join these posts expecting to be attacked for not agreeing with you, but can only shake my head when you accuse me of existing in an echo chamber, when you yourselves keep repeating your mantra of Evil Islam.
Well, Islam and it's followers sure do make it easy. I think it would be harder to find anywhere near the same degree of evil in Mormonism for example.
Why do you think that is?
"one of these things is not like the other ..."
I don't defend Islam when I comment here. I defend any group that I feel is being unfairly vilified by those who choose to take the actions of the worst and paint all with that brush.If you were saying the same things about any ethnic group, my responses would be the same.
They are not being unfairly vilified. Did they, or did they not, just mow more people down with a truck? Is that unfairly tarnishing their reputation?
And again, Muslims are not an ethnic group. You're defence seems to be "if you were attacking some other group for some other reason it wouldn't be fair". Well, god for you.
But we're not.
Your tactics are to point out the indefensible acts of some Muslims, and mock any responses that point to positive actions by others. Very broadminded.
Better than being closed minded and wilfully ignorant to reality.
I'm not here to argue with you, because I know it's useless. So I'll just say what I think and be satisfied with that.
It's useless because I have the facts on my side. You just have SJW wishful thinking.
Just keep repeating "diversity is our strength" and you'll think everything is OK.
