Then I guess your bigoted ass will be here to denounce every act of violence by every Christian, wherever it occurs. In the interest of expedience, you can do so once a month. Just let us know in advance so we can judge its sincerity.

Why just Germans and not all white folk? You know that Muslims live across continents and span ethnicities, right?

What I remember from WWII and Germany is literally millions of members of the NAZI party, and extremely few speaking out, but that doing so was as good as a suicide pact.

And acting as if they do not denounce radicals is just another bigoted jab. Many Muslims go about denouncing violence, and claiming otherwise makes you full of shit.

Wear your hood proudly hoss.

Don't all your examples - and lots of other examples of people doing hideous things in the name of religion - just prove that no religion has an exclusive on bad actors? There are lots of Muslims who have done horrible things; there are also lots of Muslims who sincerely believe in the teachings of the faith and want to live good, peaceful lives. Does the former group invalidate the latter group?

I think you quoted the wrong guy. I think you meant the bigot above.

But to elaborate for the bigot...

That says that some people can be terrible. Using that as an indictment of en entire religion or group of followers, the vast majority of whom have done no wrong is bigoted.

Are all Catholics implicated by the Church covering up for child molesting priests?

Are all Protestants guilty of the crimes of the KKK?

Are all Buddhists guilty of the violence perpetrated by those in Sri Lanka?

It's just a lazy way of covering for plain ole bigotry.

What do those posters know about other religions and cultures? Where are they getting there news and information? Do they know any american muslims? Lets face it people have a right to feel what ever rises up from their depths even if i think.....they might need to chill.

I just hope that those who did feel that way do some research on their own or get to know the "other". Most won't but hey that's life.


And Heights...as usual your just a wannabe Fuehrer. There is no hope for u.

Just the ones making fun of people being irrationally scared of Muslims. It's the stereotypical Midwestern / Southern rural pronunciation.

Good luck avoiding doctors, engineers, computer programmers, construction workers, lawyers, taxi drivers, teachers, retailers....etc...who are American(thanks for being a grammer nazi...and pointing out my unintentional mistake) but muslims....luckily you know which ones are the scary ones.

I am assuming these folks are from some farm wasteland. They can not be from the metropolitan area with all their fears.

Shaddap and stop being so judgmental.

Thank you for explaining yourself. Shamefully, i assumed you were an unreasonable racist, but you clearly have a perfectly rational grievance regarding the use of recorded music in parades.
My apologies.

Not all of us farmboys are scared of the Mooslims. People tend to mind themselves where I'm from.
