No no silly, we are talking about now, not 100s of years ago.

We are talking about the:

1) heads that are being cut off
2) the gays that are being thrown off roof tops
3) the woman that are being stoned to death
4) the boys that are being raped
5) the girls/women that are being raped
6) the innocent men women and children getting blown up while shopping


Stuff like that and more....happening PRESENT DAY in places that are not the middle eastern places/countries where these practices are accepted as the norm.

Chaos mostly ignored/dismissed for some strange reason..

People dying unnecessarily and the PC police basking in there sense of accomplishment

Apparently white supremacy is a bigger threat than Islam.

Cite on "leftists" saying that ISIS don't behead people?

Cite? Was this estimate performed by Toothy?

Who even cares? Let's say it's 800 million for a moment. All I'm trying to do is explain that socioeconomics and geopolitics is pretty ****ing important when trying to describe the state of the world. Probably more so than pointing to a book they all read.

Anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

Anonymous sources familiar with the thread think that's a pretty dumb post.

That's goofy's line.

Sushy, you're alive!!! I was worried you might have committed seppuku after how fast you vanished when it came out Trump was being investigated. I guess that would require the capability to feel shame, though...

I'm fine goofy, thanks for your concern. Just taking time out from the insanity that is arguing politics on the internet.

I can feel shame when it is warranted. However that hasn't occurred in these forums so far.

I dunno, I see you've been active over in that ATF thread where you still have quite the grudge against Wookie for banning you. But one minute you were alllllll over that Comey thread and then something changed and all your posting moves to ATF...so weird! So unlike you to run away with your tail between your legs! Must just be a coincidence, what with this "taking time off" thing and all...

Love sosa, deleted your post and you've earned another timeout for dehumanizing Muslims

There's been a small change in the timeout lengths. It's another 4 day timeout for you this time.

I hope he thinks about what he's done while he's gone!

Not a single mention of Muslims was made in the deleted post.

Chezlaw, these are the people you are letting down with your bigotry of lower expectations for muslims.

I'm confused about your accusation if Love Sosa's post was about Muslims but if it wasn't then I'm doubly confused by your accusation.

Maybe it was maybe not, but you presumed it was since it was a picture of the hordes of mordor.

To put it another way, the whole PC bull**** to protect Muslims is so counter productive that it must tie knots in your head when you even try to think about it.

What do you think it was about?

I presumed it because of the context Love Sosa used it in. If it was some random picture, maybe accidentally posted in the wrong thread, then I got it wrong.

Whatever it was about, I know that it would be belittling as a muslim to need to be protected from critique or ridicule. You do not include any other religious group in this category. You simply have lower expectations for Muslims and Majid Nawaz is one who understands the negative impact of this mindset for good reasons.

That's not my mindset at all Marn

My personal concern is that hateful/dehumanising/etc use of language leads to more hate crimes ranging from speech acts to murderous acts such as in Finsbury park recently.

You don't know what it was about?

It was just a coincidence it was posted in this particular thread and a bigger coincidence who it was posted by?

chez,

The real progressive muslims or ex-muslims need protection from fundamentalists wanting to murder them for their ideas, you on the other hand effectively protect the widespread ideas of fundamentalist Islamists by disallowing any critique and discussion of it.

Maajid Nawaz would most likely see you as part of the problem.

Dehumanizing Muslims is not protecting them from extremists who want to murder them. It's helping the extremists in their cause.

Nobody said so.

Muslims do not need to be a protected group, the sooner you realise this the better!
