What is 'Islamophobia'?

[jeager106]

I always find this a bizarre terminology - so the remaining 60% of the population had no ethnicity? What's that like?

Great point!
I love it!
According to ethnics, African Americans, Black Americans, "persons
of color" whatever noun you like, white people are "crackers", " honkey's", "redneck", trailer trash",
and more but my personal FAVORITE of all time is................................


PECKERWOOD!

Look that one up! :>)
As a white cop policing a town with a large black population I heard and have been called
a whole lot of slurs.
"Pig" was mild indeed. The most common was "mutha ####a".
So it goes. So it went. It's over now.
At least it's over in the day time when I am around so called "normal" folks.
At night I still dream.
The memories will be with me all the days of my life.
I truly understand why Dennis, my detective partner, blew his brains out last year.
I understand but feel doing such a thing is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
I suffered 13 serious injuries, live a life of permanent intractable pain, and severe p.t.s.d.
but so what?
I'm alive and look forward to each day.
Drugs help. (joke)

Explain about the collapse of building 7 in 9.11

And I will accept that islamophobia doesn't exist at all

Maybe 9.11 has been caused by Janiist extremists.

I wonder why nobody thought of them and Islam was the first thing that came to mind.

Even if that was orchestrated by Western conspirators, it is puzzling that they chose Islam, a well know religion of peace, so tolerant against criticism and all, and everybody bought it, immediately.

Beats me.

Because Islam is a great threat for their injustice. They wanna control world and turn it to an atheist world.

Besides the purpose was attacking the Afghanistan so Muslims should be chosen.

Are you telling me that mr. Bush wanted to turn the world into an atheist world? You make me miss him, lol.

But that was not my point. Why did people buy it, almost instantaneously?

Suppose a bomb explode in Paris tonight, killing women and children. What would be first people thought, in your opinion?

I think you have to work a lot on your P.R, I m afraid, especially if you are right. For starters: no threats of death if someone makes cartoons of Mohammed, or write a book about satanic verses, or anything of the sort.

Deal?

They say we believe in God while they don't. I'm sure of it. Besides u forgot about zionists that are everywhere.

And media are very important.
But the most important thing is ignorance of people in America and Europe about Islam and Muslims and what those countries are doing in MD

Good that you are sure. Fact is, I have to wait hours to board a plane and I am not sure that is because of zionism.

We are not ignorant. We see an increase of women dressed up like Zorro, or Batman, scaring the kids.

What should we think?

Insulting? Who is insulting. Almost every Muslim here has pointed to Song of Songs as a prophecy for Machamudim.
That's his name, right?

Regards

Jews did worse things than insulting prophets

They killed prophets such as John and Zacharias.

 

[Tumah]

Jews did worse things than insulting prophets

Yeah. And? What's that got to do with Machamudim?

They killed prophets such as John and Zacharias.

Those aren't prophets.

So what in Christianity's rule/guide book, the NT, to be "be bad", please be specific.

Just in case you didn't know Christians also keep the OT.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmmmm, "Christian gay bashers". You and I have been down this road before. I have the right to consider the homosexual person immoral,

You can believe Jews are dirty penny pinchers, but it doesn't make your belief correct, nor would it be shielded from questioning and challenging. You can believe the Earth is flat, but that doesn't make it true.

Please, no one wants to take away anyone's rights.

Pence and plenty of other Republicans do.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

"Islamophobia" describes the phenomenon of people who are able to use their eyes, ears, and brains to see patterns of abuse, hatred, and violence strongly correlated with certain aspects, views, and behaviors within and across subsets of Islamic religion and culture. I really don't care what people call it, as long people don't engage in willful blindness, ignorance, or dishonesty to avoid seeing it.

That's not called Islamophobia, nor should it be. That is valid criticism. However, demanding a Muslim not handle your food at a restaurant because you're terrified that Muslim person is going to poison your food, that is the very definition of Islamophobia. Even jokingly, the two should not be confused.

That is the greatness of a free society one can hold the beliefs they choose. morality is a relative term. It means different things to different people. For some in this world, it is perfectly moral to throw homosexuals off of multi story buildings. For others homosexuality is moral and pure, a third gender. For Evangelical Christians it is immoral, Some folks consider smoking immoral, some consider pedophilia normal and moral. We all have a right to our own moral code. Nevertheless, none of us can use our sense of morality to impinge on the rights of others, and one right is not superior to another. You seem to be declaring that the rights of a small segment of society should be superior to the rights of others. A classic example is the reporter who entered a pizza parlor, saw the ownership was probably Christian, and asked hypothetical questions of the woman working there. "would you deny service to a homosexual" ?, response, "of course not ", "Would you cater a homosexual wedding" response " no my religion forbids me to participate in a rite or service I find immoral" We are guaranteed the free practice of religion under the Constitution. The business didn't even do catering, the question was hypothetical. The reporter wrote the interchange up, published it, and it wasn't long before the gaystopo was intimidating patrons, trying to shut the business down, and the folks received death threats, one man/woman/? was arrested for conspiring and recruiting to burn the business down. Who in this case was trying to deny someones rights ? You, and the liberals in this society have decided that you are the arbiters of morality, you have the right to determine what is and isn't moral, you have the right to dictate what another's morality must be. What is even more telling is that a Conservative activist posing as a homosexual went to every bakery in dearbornistan, the largest moslem community in the USA to get a wedding cake that was to say "to Bob from Bill my love", NO bakery would do it, this was widely reported, the gaystopo and liberals ignored it. Why ? because moslems are the liberal hopeless cause of the month. We ALL have rights they should be respected for each person by all persons

Sorry, but you are wrong. Most Christians view the OT as history, wisdom, and literature. We don't "keep" the OT, the old covenant was replaced by the new, the NT.

Just heard 9 killed in Germany, many injured as a truck is driven into a crowd. Must have been a Taoist plot, ya think?

"Zionists are everywhere" so what if they were, which is nonsense ? We know all we need to know about islam.

Morality is relative. However, laws are not based on morality, nor should they.

You seem to be declaring that the rights of a small segment of society should be superior to the rights of others.

Nope. I have never wanted anything more than equality under the law.

We are guaranteed the free practice of religion under the Constitution.

You can. But it has been declared, decades ago, you can't discriminate.

Who in this case was trying to deny someones rights ?

No one was trying to say "you can't believe that." You have no right to go into business and serve the public, and you have no right in getting to selectively choose what clientele you will serve when you serve the public. Religion does not give you the right to decide what laws you will and will not follow.

 

[psychoslice]

So your saying you don't believe anything in the OT ?.

 

[shmogie]

So your saying you don't believe anything in the OT ?.

No, I am not saying that at all. I am saying that the entire system of law, and the theocracy, and the way of atonement, and the message has changed.

 

[psychoslice]

Yes there are changers in the new testament, but every Christian I have known still keeps the old, I was a Christian for many years so I do know. I think some Christians are becoming embarrassed about what is in the OT, and are only making up excuses to hind from that fact.

Discriminate, an interesting word. We all discriminate every day on a variety of issues but I know what you mean. Certainly if I am selling something, or providing a service I can't arbitrarily decide who can buy my product or receive my service. If you hire me to fix your refrigerator, and I don't like the way you look, that is irrelevant. If I come to repair your refrigerator, and you ask me to pray to the god bony maroni with you before I begin so that the repair will be successful, I can refuse and if you insist, I can walk out the door, that is my right to do because of religious conviction. Now then the issue explodes when it comes to homosexual weddings. Many Christians based upon their faith, cannot and will not participate in any way. I believe very firmly that a Christian cannot be forced to participate in a rite that they believe holy, that has been, by their faith, totally debased. If I own a flower shop and you want to buy a bunch of flowers, so be it, but don't ask me to go to a venue and plan and place flowers for one of these weddings, that is participation and I won't do it. There are ample flower shops who will. Do you see the difference ?
