[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fear that Muslims and Jews have had over their places of worship, for a long time. Many mosques and synagogues are no stranger to vandalism, or destruction of their houses of worship, and many, many threats.

I am not "happy" about any senseless violence, but it is interesting to hear Christians (particularly white Christians) talk about a feeling of fear - that is unfortunately so common and has been long standing for other groups in their houses of solace.[/quote]

“It is interesting”? What on earth do you mean by that?[/quote]

I mean just that. Minorities have felt this fear in their places of worship for a long time, and had a heightened sense of awareness of their vulnerable position -- even in "safe" places - that it's odd to be reminded that this fear is new and unusual for others. [/quote]

Translation: we’ve had it rough so it’s funny that now you are too.

What is wrong with you?[/quote]
DP.. "it's funny" in a sad way. The double standard continues... that's all.  But it is true.  Minorities in this country have been experiencing this kind of thing for decades.[/quote]

26 people have been killed.

You: "I hate Christians so much that I will immediately go onto DCUM to gloat about some Christians feeling scared."

What's wrong with you?[/quote]

What's wrong with you that you can't see the irony? Seriously lady, your outrage is misplaced.[/quote]

Irony? Where? PP is smirking and gloating. [/quote]

Absolutely no one has said such a thing. Don't be dramatic. You're angry and fearful, and that's fair, but blame the white male perpetrator - it's absolutely no one else's fault for pointing out the pervasiveness of this fear that other communities have felt. Place your blame appropriately to the guy responsible for instilling your fear.[/quote]

Not sure who you think you’re talking talking to.

Nevertheless, everybody here, even the gun nut, blames the white shooter. I and others just think it’s inappropriate (sick, even) for some random pp to be gloating that finally another group besides them is getting it in the neck.[/quote]

PP again. Thinking about this, I should correct my passing reference to the gun nut. He (and Trump) take a passive view of these mass killings: nobody is at fault, some people will kill, and it’s not their fault because they’re mentally ill, and it’s not a fault in our gun access policies, and the only culpability is for Muslims.

26 people died in Texas, 56 in Vegas...we’ll what can we do? Let’s not mention tightening up access to guns, or the hypocrisy in banning all Muslims just because a few terrorists have easy access to guns in the US.[/quote]
