Look at any muslim country in the world that borders a non-muslim country and you will find a problem. I guess the truth makes me a bigot.

I wish all of this would die, it's so annoying when people constantly tangentially bring up racism in threads not about racism and throw around accusations of racism. Utterly pointless. But clearly not all come here for intelligent thought.

Not always, but the majority of the time in recent history.

How would racism possibly not be brought up looking at OP?

The common element in all these problems seems to be extremist Muslims. They don't have a good history of playing nice with everyone else be they Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or even other Muslims.

I do not see how pointing that fact out is making any sort of bigotted statement. Or at least not any more bigotted than condemning something like Nazism.

Well hopefully this will act as a sort of containment thread for that crap.



But I am skeptical.

If you look at any random border anywhere in the world that doesn't involve the USA in "recent history," you'll find tumult.

"Extremist" Muslims, many of whom got that way by being pissed off at all the "sensible" westerners who wouldn't just leave them alone.

wookie,

Would you say that bigotry is immoral or universally undesirable. Or do you just personally find it sub optimal and have a personal preference against it. Can a moral relativist (I'm not assuming you are one) truly condemn bigotry?
I think it's immoral, but naturally by degree. A relativist would I guess be like, "That just like, uhh, your opinion, man."
