^This, from this thread.
BR is very right wing in his views and not very muslim friendly but it seems here his comment is reflecting reality (in many places) where is the specific attack on islam?
Valid point where is the attack on islam?
He's a christian fundie but again where is the attack on islam here?
A mega christian fundie nutter does anyone actually pay attention to him??
Don't know the context of this but it sounds like gross generalization.
Come on this was a joke even SAM saw that, I think you are maybe oversensitive.
Again see above and this is more an attack on Democrats/liberals than muslims or do you mean that Osama represents muslims?
I think this is a gross exaggeration but report hateful posts if you see them and post them here.
How is commenting reality bias?
Q hates all religion with a passion don't feel special.
and Iceaura has a point even if you find it uncomfortable.
oh dear
it seems i might be part of the problem
/hangs head
HAHA you are so busted islamophobe!
The psychotic cult of Islam is not alone in it's insanity, there are plenty of other psychotic cults to criticize and ridicule. No bias whatsoever. LOL!
Point being? Also, are you serious? He called a White neo-Nazi whom shot children, a Muslim. He just blamed a horrific and wanton attack on innocent people on Muslims by claiming the shooter was Muslim himself, even after I posted a picture of him and provided context as to why the shooter did this.
It's shifting blame of the transatlantic slave trade from White European Christians to Middle-Eastern/Arab Muslims, all but blaming them for it.
Uh, it's a fairly obvious attack on Arabs/Muslims. This thread isn't just about Muslims and Islam but also bias against Arabs and the Middle-East.
Point?
In response to the myth about the "mosque on ground zero."
Not really, if it truly was a joke, then fine, if it wasn't, it wouldn't really surprise me on this forum.
Yes, it's an attack on the Democrats and liberals and Mr. Obama by using the insult "Osama," and thus linking him (Obama) with Muslims and Islam, which apparently you don't want to be or believe in otherwise it wouldn't be such a widely used insult. Case in point, Obama has to say "I'm Christian," every five seconds or the political right has a shit fit. It's also using bin Laden as an example of Muslims, in general, they are "the enemy," the despised "other," and thus the linking of Obama/Democrats and Osama/Muslims/Islam.
What's the point? It's not likely anything is ever really done.
Aww, feeling victimized and offended? Your psychotic and hate-driven cult being ridiculed for its insanity doesn't sit well with you? LOL!
but i am an islamophobe
i am quite contemptuous of all religions and as a consequence, of its practitioners.
still tho...
i hereby formally request my post history be protected from prying eyes
lock that shit up
/nervous cackle
I just replied regarding the quote you posted and also said he isn't muslim or liberal friendly
It's a fact that muslim slave traders controlled the market in much of africa is this an attack on islam?
etc etc actually we could do this all day, instead why don't you specifically list what is bias against muslims in these posts. By muslims I mean all muslims not the specific actions of certain muslims because it seems like what you want is a sanction on criticism of muslims as a whole. Would you also want sanctions on criticism of westerners, christians, asians, hindus buddhists etc as a whole or are you a hypocrite?
example: Should it only be allowed to discuss western participation in the slave trade?
Lying for Allah, again?
Say what you want about the insanity of Judaism. It's a sick and twisted ideology just like Islam and Christianity. No problem.
You and I are brothers in species, my short-peckered friend, but you have decided to join a psychotic cult that tells you how to live and how to hate and despise others who aren't part of your cult.
That is not how things are being portrayed or how things are being phrased and you know it. X actions by specific individuals or group of individuals is being used as an example of (God forbid) the "evil," of Islam and guilt is being applied collectively to all Muslims in general by association. It's one thing to comment on say FCG in the African states, it's something else to say it's an inherent/intrinsic part of Islam/Islamic practice and is practiced by all Muslims even outside of that specific geographical/cultural region. It's the same for most issues involving Islam and Muslims. If it truly was about specific individuals or group of individuals then why are abstract/general terms such as 'Muslim' being used here? I mean, come on, what the hell do you think this implies?
The fact that some members are on the political right, "fundamentalist," (whatever that means) Christians, etc. seems kind of irrelevant as far as this conversation is concerned.

All over the non-Muslim world, we hear incessant demands that those who believe in the literal truth of the Quran be granted "respect." We are supposed to watch what we say about Islam, lest by any chance we be considered "offensive." A fair number of authors and academics in the West now have to live under police protection or endure prosecution in the courts for not observing this taboo with sufficient care. A stupid term—Islamophobia—has been put into circulation to try and suggest that a foul prejudice lurks behind any misgivings about Islam's infallible "message."
Well, this idiotic masochism has to be dropped. There may have been a handful of ugly incidents, provoked by lumpen elements, after certain episodes of Muslim terrorism. But no true secularist or even Christian has been involved in anything like the torching of a mosque. (The last time that such a thing did happen on any scale—in Bosnia—the United States and Britain intervened militarily to put a stop to it. We also overthrew the Taliban, which was slaughtering the Hazara Shiite minority in Afghanistan.) But where are the denunciations from centers of Sunni and Shiite authority of the daily murder and torture of Islamic co-religionists? Of the regular desecration of holy sites and holy books? Of the paranoid insults thrown so carelessly and callously by one Muslim group at another? This mounting ghastliness is a bit more worthy of condemnation, surely, than a few Danish cartoons or a false rumor about a profaned copy of the Quran in Guantanamo. The civilized world—yes I do mean to say that—should find its own voice and state firmly to Muslim leaders and citizens that respect is something to be earned and not demanded with menace.

No I don't know that all I see is you reacting to anything at all to do with muslims. I don't see that criticizing some muslims for some behaviour as a blanket condemnation of all muslims as I don't see condemnation of the war in Iraq as a condemnation of all americans.
This is what I'm talkin about post it or report it then you may have an arguable case.
No it is completely relevant as claiming bias here based on fundie, right wing posters is similar to claiming all muslims are bias/evil based on Osama bin Laden. You haven't been here too long you will learn who to ignore.
