Welcome to American liberal politics and media, where if you shoot up a marine base in the name of Islam, we don't call you an Islamic terrorist. But if you watch the "Dukes of Hazard", you're most certainly a racist.

You'll turn anything into an opportunity to play the victim, won't you?Hmmm I have no interest in talking about your point so I'll just call you a victim.

How does that make me specifically a victim?

I mean I'm just pointing out the double standard. Only victims point out double standards?

Honest question at face value: Did anyone -- here, at least -- say you're a racist for watchin' a couple of good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm?

I personally didn't see anyone (again, here) say it should be taken as far as it's gone.

Your dragging the rebel flag thing into this is a complete tangent.

All they're looking to do is confirm his motive one way or another. Was it wrong for people to speculate that the South Carolina shooting was race-related before it was confirmed? To a degree, yes. It was an easy conclusion to reach, but it was wrong to assume so before facts were out. Just like assuming this guy was a terrorist or had terrorist sympathies before the facts were out.

But it appears now he does, so. Feel free to say so.
C'mon Ramy. The media goes out of it's way to put as much distance between Islam and violence as they can (because they're pummeling you with their ideology). The same media goes out of it's way to connect white people and racism (for the same reason).

Oh and honestly, no one said specifically because I was watching the dukes I was racist. I didn't say they were. I was pointing to the media climate which intimidated the networks to otherwise pull ANY show off the air that displayed it.

So what you're saying is that you want the media to jump to conclusions on all accounts and not really report anything correctly until later?

I mean... there's no other reason for a muslim guy to shoot something up because he's a terrorist like theres no other reason a white guy would gun down a bunch of black people in a church right?

It's just funny to me that you slam the media on one front and then slam them for doing what you wanted them to do in the first place.

Because equating Islam with violence certainly wouldn't play directly into the terrorists hand. The ones looking for disenfranchised youth to use as fresh meat for a suicide attack. Nope.

That was my whole point. Shoot up a church of black people and within hours the media has a picture of you with a confederate flag. Shoot up a military recruitment center in the name of Allah, and well we can't figure out why he did it.

I find it funny, I open my mouth sometimes and its like I've thrown a bag full of bacon in front of a pack of dogs otherwise playing fetch.

I'm totally flattered.
Yeah... it's totally uncommon for people to respond to others posts in a forum like this lol... Jesus Nausi...

Does Islam have a unique problem with violence in our world?

Nausi, the man so dishonest he wants us to equate Islam with violence immediately but if I equate his homo/transphobia with his Christianity I'm suddenly picking on Jesus and spreading my disgusting hatreds everywhere.

Nope. It's the radical flavor of the month. Left to its own devices Judaism and Christianity reach similar levels of sickness.

I guess this would be why I do my best to avoid "breaking" news from any televised source at all, and any websites affiliated with said sources. I might see a headline of what happened on MSN or something, but I really try to reserve judgment until we get a reasonable write up from someone who isn't just going for instant ratings spike based on newest incident of people being shitty that given day.

*Has reached and continues to reach. Let's not forget Catholic/Christian terrorism is still alive and well -- albeit on a (happily!) much smaller scale than it used to be -- in Ireland.

To be fair I don't think Nausi is phobic. I think he's bias against and bigoted, but not phobic.

It's been a while. Thankfully reason still holds some sway.

Most Christian Taliban are too busy gargling Putin's balls (hes so dreamy!) while wishing they had the balls to set their inner ISIS free.

And there we go, hey do you want to create special rules for trans people to use whatever bathroom they want?
No?
Well then there is no other reason than that you must be afraid of them.

There really isn't. The question is whether that fear is rational or not.

You think it is. Many of us don't. It's really that simple.

Molotov and Bombs in 2012, no violence there.

I'd also add hate crimes on LGTB, there's a lot of murders (Fully aware all LGTB murders aren't hate crimes)

I know it was still a while ago, but how many have even heard of this, even at the time? (Yes, Chanti, I'm aware you probably have and did at the time, you ol' bra burner you.)

If every single aspect of this doesn't churn your stomach, I question your integrity as a human being.

I would assert that all LGBT hate crime is religion-fueled, whether actively or as a tacit factor in their overt malignancy due to the influence and teaching of hate.
