[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you all feel paranoid but nothing has happened to you personally.  But yet, we are not allowed to feel paranoid that something might happen to us here in the US by ISIS?    Hate, bigotry and racism goes both ways but it is only a small minority.[/quote]

Actually, the claim of "peaceful" Muslims that they're terrified of possible discrimination, and that should be the focal point of concern of Americans, rather than the actual murderous acts of radical Islamic terrorists, is all part of a rather broad propaganda campaign in which the "peaceful" Islamic folks indirectly support the violent radical Islamic groups.

They want people to feel guilty for being scared of the dangers of radical Islamic terrorists, that'll shame them into backing off from tougher security measures.  Makes America a softer target.

Why are you putting "peaceful" in quotes? Do you approve of discrimination against innocent people? You seem to be justifying prejudice. Do you think that when people like you imply that there are no such thing as peaceful Muslims that you might encourage those who would do violence against them?

"Peaceful" is in quotes because that's how these individuals wish themselves to be perceived.   I don't see as how anyone else is required to accept that self-characterization, especially when the "peaceful" individuals are unable to straightforwardly indicate a personal rejection of radical Islamic terroristic violence.  Like in this thread--we heard about an evidently lesbian woman say that her partner/wife was complaining about being discriminated against due to being Muslim and due to being gay.  We didn't hear that PP tell us that her wife came out against the ISIS violence, though, did we?   It's kind of ironic considering how groups like ISIS are very homophobic.  Seems to me it should be rather easy for that PP's partner to express clear opposition to ISIS.  But evidently she didn't.

Is she peaceful or "peaceful"?   I don't know, and neither do you.[/quote]

What is wrong with some people that think they every muslim has to denounce ISIS...how many christians go around proclaiming that they denounce the pedophilia that was widespread in the catholic church?  Not that many...and none that I know of.  I don't take that to mean that these people support pedophiles, because I apply common sense. [/quote]
