Voted : No, that is hypocritical on the part of neocons and rightwingers
Heckuva good ballot...
Uhhh yeah.
Media does it all the time with many other groups.
I just wonder if all this fawning whining about Muslims by leftist idiots, .... if they think that is going to prevent them from cutting off your head when the time comes?
Thats right, be dismissive Nobby
I wasnt aware there was a Republican "holy book" that they all learnt the same lessons from?
Great pic Cranky.
"I wasnt aware there was a Republican "holy book" that they all learnt the same lessons from?"
There isn't a book but there are beleifs that all Republicans share. Example:
1. Christianity GOOD, everyone else BAD
2. If you don't support us, you support the terrorist
3. Spread our way of life as much as possible, by any means
I'm sure other can add to this list.
Voted : Most ballots are about specific Muslims and not 'all Muslims'
cranky- Actually I have not seen many ballots on this site that directly say 'all Muslims are like this', or 'All Muslims do so-and-so', or 'all Muslims believe that'.
Most of the ballots regarding Muslims are individual circumstances, and I know of very little that have actually said anything about generalising about 'all Muslims'. Therefore, you are wrong. If the ballots are bringing up individual circumstances that does not necessarily equate to saying anything about 'all Muslims'. Most of the ballots are about specific groups or individuals, therefore the claim that there is constantly an attempt to generalise about all Muslims is not true. How can stating individual cases be generalising a whole group? It is merely stating how particular circumstances in question have unfolded.
Cranky, the fact that you interpret ballots about specific Islamic extremists as an attempt at demonising all Muslims, even when nothing was said about all Muslims, seems to suggest to me at least, that you are so sensitive about anything to do with Muslims that you seem to interpret any criticism of specific Islamic individuals as an attempt to demonise all Muslims? That seems far too politically correct if true.
Sometimes I make ballots about specific circumstances concerning Islamic extremists. Why do I? Because I want to demonise all Muslims? No, not at all. I do make ballots that there are extremists existent, but that is not in an attempt to demonise all Muslims, it is to make a point specifically of the individuals that are directly mentioned in the ballot. Anyway, most Muslims actually denounce extremism (well all the ones I know), so the Islamic world as a whole is not the problem. So why do I make such ballots sometimes? The actual problem is political correctness. Some people shy away from criticising the extremist factions, some people attack those that criticise the extremists and analyse it as an attempt to be making generalisations about 'all Muslims' when nothing of the sort was even said, and the ones that try and make excuses for the extremists. The fact that you interpret ballots that ask specifically about the extremists and interpret that somehow as an attack on the entire Islamic world gives me the impression that you fit in this group of the overly-politically correct? Muslims as a whole are not the problem. It is the overly politically correct that are. I don't know any politically correct Muslims, all the ones that I know condemn the extremists and bigots very openly and very frankly- so it is Muslims as a whole that seem to be a problem from my point of view, it's actually non-Muslims that think they are standing up for all Muslims by standing up for the extremists, the ones that do not condemn the extremist faction, the ones that think any criticism of the extremists is demonising the entire Islamic world, and the ones that try to make excuses for the extremists. I see a lot of this unwholesome form of political correctness on this site, thus my ballots on the topic.
* Typo, meant to say:
so it isN'T Muslims as a whole that seem to be a problem from my point of view, it's actually non-Muslims that think they are standing up for all Muslims by standing up for the extremists...
Are people supposed to pretend a pattern doesn't exist when someone keeps reaching for facts that all go the same direction?
It doesn't take too much pattern recognition to see that some people do stereotype all Muslims, even if they're right about all kinds of specific facts. And then they complain about other people stereotyping them.
Just remember which form of religion
has KILLED more people than any other
form of religion in the past...
CHRISTIANITY
MUSLIM
BUDHISM
etc.
I think that World Wars 1 and 2,
conducted by mostly European
"Christians" have caused more
death and destruction than people
from all of the other religions
combined...
> 20 million killed in WW1
> 50 million killin in WW2
Hmmm... why don't Catholics,
Protestants, and other Christians
who support war and imeperialism
get a bad rap?
I'm sure the Muslims have killed
far fewer people than Christians
have... or, does it have something
to do with Jewish bankers and
Israeli interests controlling most
of our western mass media? Could
this be why muslims are blamed for
worldwide terrorism? ie. Jews hate
Muslims, so they use westerners to
kill them all off so Israel can
take control of most of the middle
east and all its oil... Great idea!

blackcat06- World War 1 and World War 2 was mostly Christian countries attacking one another. That cannot be described as religious war. That period was more of a struggle between capitalism, communism, fascism, and monarchism.
skylab- "Are people supposed to pretend a pattern doesn't exist when someone keeps reaching for facts that all go the same direction?"
- If there is any pattern on this site, it is a pattern of denial regarding the extremist faction of the Islamic world that does indeed exist. There is little hesitation in directly and openly condemning Christian fundamentalists. If you desire to know why there are persistent factual ballots on the topic of Islamic extremists, I suggest you observe the consistent denial and hesitation to condemn the actions of this extremist faction.
