[b]No one here is blaming "muslims and Islam" for this[/b].  People here are blaming radical Islamic terrorists.  The same way we'd be blaming radical right-wing Christian terrorists if they shot up the place or any other group.  Pretending this attack isn't connected to *some offshoot* of Islam is silly.[/quote]

In fact, I have deleted multiple posts that blamed the attacks on Islam. I simply will not stand for that sort of post and remove them if/when I see them.

In response to the query as to why I posted the religion of the Muslim police officer and didn't post about the other two police officers, it is because I am completely prejudiced in favor of Muslims and don't give a shit about anyone else. No, that's actually not it, though it appears to be what was being suggested. The explanation is much more simple. I saw in my Twitter feed that the officer was Muslim. I didn't see anything about either other officer until I read it here. Despite all my efforts, I am still not able to post things I don't know.

Yet we're supposed to know about deleted posts. Okay.  Interesting. [/quote]

Calm down. I didn't suggest you should know. I was informing you because I assumed that you didn't know.

I don't need to be told to calm down.  I'm very calm.  It's condescending and unwarranted.[/quote]

I apologize. I should have said, "Don't be so sensitive."

Not sensitive either.  If you read my other comments in this thread, you'll see I'm quite rational.  I noted an apparent contradiction in your statements.  That implies nothing about my emotional state.  I do object to men frequently characterizing women who disagree with them as needing to "calm down" or being "too sensitive", though.  I don't know if you personally do that regularly or not, but I'll note it when I see it.[/quote]

You are not doing a particularly good job of demonstrating your lack of sensitivity. By the way, I had no idea whether you are male or female and actually had assumed you were male. Had I known you were female, I would have told you to shut up and make me a sandwich (joking, joking, joking, I swear I am joking). A need to be calm and less sensitive is not something that I attribute to one sex over the other. Members of both sexes can stand to do both.
