Slaughter In Paris!

[Jichard]

Get that pile of buring straw out of here. It's stinking up the place. Or is that stench coming from you? Nobody is talking about randomly rounding up Muslims and putting them in camps,

Well, then's an insane bigot going saying that Muslims think they have an obligation non-Muslims. That's so insanely bigoted, that I don't even think that the Americans who put Japanese people in camps, would have said that about Japanese people. Even those American bigots weren't so bigoted as to think that Japanese people thought they had an obligation to kill all non-Japanese people.

although we should certainly keep a close eye on them.

You mean like Nazis said we should keep a close eye on Jews, since they were Jewish, or various Americans said that we should keep an eye on Japanese people?

To pretend that today's "radical" Muslims are not behaving consistently with the history, tradition, and theology of their religion is dangerously naive.

You didn't limit your claims to "radical Muslims", you anti-Muslim bigot. You applied your claims to Muslims in general:

I suppose you could say it's brainwashing, but Muslims really do believe they have a divine obligation to kill all non-Muslims. It says so right there in the Koran, and their founder set the example.

Furthermore, radical Muslims are not behaving consistently with the history, tradition, and theology of their religion. Or do you think mainstream Muslims have a history of willfully going around and killing all non-Muslims, just because they are non-Muslim? They have no more and no less of history of doing that, than mainstream Christians have a history of killing people just because those people are non-Christians.

We're not talking about things that happened hundreds of years ago like the Crusades (never mind that low-information morons like you don't understand what the Crusades were really about), we're talking about things that are happening right here, right now and that will continue happening so long as namby-pamby liberals keep falling for that "religion of peace" bullcrap.

You mean like bombing abortion clinics? Or telling lies about the efficacy of things like condoms, leading to suffering for hundreds of thousands of people? Or about the religious conflict that went on in Northern Ireland for decades? Or the violent nonsense done by the Christian Identity movement? Or...

Would you like a refresher on recent radical Christian violence?

The free world is at war with the nation of Islam.

No, it isn't. Even George W. Bush, despite all his flaws, knew better than that:

"I have assured His Majesty that our war is against evil, not against Islam. There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know -- that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion. The exact opposite of the teachings of the al Qaeda organization, which is based upon evil and hate and destruction."

"Islam is a vibrant faith. Millions of our fellow citizens are Muslim. We respect the faith. We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn't follow the great traditions of Islam. They've hijacked a great religion."

"Ours is a war not against a religion, not against the Muslim faith. But ours is a war against individuals who absolutely hate what America stands for, and hate the freedom of the Czech Republic. And therefore, we must work together to defend ourselves. And by remaining strong and united and tough, we'll prevail."

"We're taking action against evil people. Because this great nation of many religions understands, our war is not against Islam, or against faith practiced by the Muslim people. Our war is a war against evil. This is clearly a case of good versus evil, and make no mistake about it -- good will prevail."

No, the sooner we stop listerning to Islamaphobes like you, the sooner people can actually make progress on issues like this. What the right-wing needs right now is (ironically) folks like George W. Bush, who can come in and quell the anti-Muslim prejudice that's seething in various portions on the right. Otherwise, those portions of the right will continue to embarrass their political parties with insane claims about how thousands in Muslims in New Jersey were cheering for 9/11, or how we should cease allowing Muslim immigration. Once again, the Republican Party will be known as the party accepting of bigotry.
