We Need More Of This

Instead of calling people snakes and terrorists simply because of the color of their skin or religion:

Not everyone of Islam is a terrorist. Yet to Islam, everyone else Is an Infidel .

And per the Quran all infidel are to be given a chance to convert. Should they refuse they are then to be martyred...i.e. killed.

Islam is the Borg...assimilate or die.

With no offense to the OP I smell a rat. His post is all warm and fuzzy, and then comes the "but".

10 bucks says this is another one of those " I'm a lesbian waitress and a customer wouldn't tip me" that turns Out to be made up.

Frankly Im tired of hearing how Trump is responsible for all the hatred of Muslims in the world. the guy is running for president, why I what he says affecting global policy?

Islam isn't just a religion, it's a system of living with implications regarding every aspect of life: the economy, societal roles, government, speech, worship, etc. Take a good look at everything it entails, then compare/contrast with the U.S. Constitution. Then ask yourself if one is compatible with the other. After that, look up what "Taqqiya" means.

I'm going to guess that Muzzies eating at the Olive Garden (that Kaffir place that serves evil pig meat among other haram things) aren't going to be the kind of Muzzies that would strap bombs to their babies to murder Jews and other "people of the book" ... in fact I'd go so far as to say Muzzies eating at the OG are probably a good sort of folk that we could all happily live with ... if only they represented the majority of their brethren.

Maybe they were Alawites? or Sufi's?

[davsel]

Really? We need more Christians pitying the poor mistreated Muslim?
Just as soon as they renounce their evil "religion," we can talk.

That's my take on it as well.

Seems like everyone has missed the point of the thread. Which was that a group of people weren't negatively judged based on their appearance.

[Aardvark]

Peace on Earth, and goodwill towards all. ...even if just for a short while. But come the next terr attack, I say we nuke 'em.

[argonstrom]

Wow...

The majority of these posts were not what I was expecting. Breaks my heart.

I pray for peace in all hearts, open eyes, open minds, and the ability to see the real enemy.

I, like most thinking individuals, initially judge many things, if not all things based on appearance.
It's called discernment.

What is "the real enemy?"

[argonstrom]

What is "the real enemy?"

Seriously? How about you tell me?

I'd love to believe that the hatred of Islam was nothing more than simple close mindedness on the part of "dumb bubbas in the west" ... but you read their Qu'ran and Hadiths and look at the example of their Prophet and you will realize that the absence of peace, closed eyes and closed minds are in the Madrassas and Mosques, not here. Then you'll see who the real enemy is.

Islam creates a huge problem for a pluralistic and tolerant west. It puts us in the position where we have to choose between the higher ideals of tolerance that western civilization is frankly built upon, and simple survival. The problem is that some people just simply can't be "gotten along with". Nothing wrong with lamenting that we're forced into this position, but in your quest to maintain those higher ideals of western civilization, don't fall int to the politically correct trap of cultural self hatred.

I don't like this any more than you do.

^^ Gotta see it for what it is. Good post.

You "pray for ... the ability to see the real enemy."
Surely you have something in mind.
I'm just curious as to what it is you "see" as "the real enemy," since you brought it up.

"...don't fall int [sic] to the politically correct trap of cultural self hatred..."

Where did I do that?

Do you carry? If so, are you able to determine what is a threat and what is not?

[cstone]

Civility will be recognized and adhered to or this thread will go the way of all things.

[Ah Pook]

Real or not, prove it. The comments are why I don't care for the Blaze.

Irrelevant - and not an answer to my question.

Thanks for proving my point.

Probably a good idea to make it go away.
