I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish in here ATW. Are you trying to restart the debate of whether terrorism is a "Muslim problem?" Old hat my friend. Yes, most acts of terrorism in the world today are performed by IslamISTS. What is your point?
No, I would like to correct that impression, that is not what I am trying to say. I have Muslim friends whom I have a lot of respect for. I just think that there is something inherent in the way many Muslims practice their faith nowadays that has a totalitarian aspect to it.
Well, what do we ever accomplish here? This is the debate and discussion forum in which we often talk about political events that occur in the world...and I was surprised that an act as atrocious as this one which I happened to come across while reading the news seemed to have gone unnoticed in this forum.
I'm neither a racist nor do I hate people who follow a particular religion. You are confusing who is being intolerant and who is pointing out intolerance.
If you are seriously not trolling but are that ignorant, here's an alternate and reasonable explanation. A lot of the Muslim population lives in poor areas. The poor get less of an education or none at all. Some wacko comes along and claims that their situation is not their fault but is the fault of <enter religious/racial/ethnic group here>. The wackos tie the statement in with religion and give them some money. Christians did the same thing during the Crusades. Got people riled up in the name of a religion and promise of riches.
You are a tolerant person, you just think people who follow a certain religion are totalitarian and murderous. "It's not racism friend, it is a scientific fact that Africans are closer in their evolution to monkeys and therefore lack the development that whites do. No racism!"
I'm not sure I would qualify "pointing out totalitarian aspects" or "fear of totalitarian aspects" from within a certain group "racist". ATW is prejudiced. I agree that is a bad thing, but it is not the same as a declarative accusation of racism.
Very true. Racist is the incorrect term. Intolerant, prejudiced, ignorant...all much better words. It's easy to forget that he isn't attacking a race in the first place, but rather followers of a religion. All that said, the issue isn't whether anything he believes is with or without merit, it's that he is clearly not interested in real intellectual honesty, rather he clings to hatred and bigotry.
No argument per say, but I do find it curious that the idea of merit behind ATW's commentary is considered "not an issue". I have no doubt that some prejudice is occurring here, but ignoring the potential merit of statements in that vein seems prejudiced in it's own right - i.e., you're prejudiced in assuming that all prejudiced statements are inherently false.
I don't hate. I also don't attack all followers of a religion. I do attack those followers of a religion who are intolerant of others' views to a degree that they will resort to violence. I am not claiming that Islam is the only religion for which this is the case, but as most terrorist attacks nowadays are committed in the name of Islam, this is the one I am focusing on with my current remarks.
I'm still confused how the OP determined that this was committed in the name of islam rather than as part of a tribal conflict that has been ongoing for centuries, which appears to be what most knowledgeable people would say. Is it that he can't differentiate between different strains of brown people? I mean I find the type of conflict in Afghanistan, and a conflict between subsaharan herders to be pretty easy to tell apart. I guess it is more difficult for him. I wonder how many rep points he's going to try to hand out after this debacle as reparations. Good luck to him!
I think there is something inherent in people who spread falsehoods such as most terrorism comes from Muslims. The fact is that it is false, and you have been spreading that falsehood here. What does it say about you, that you were so willing to believe something that is demonstrably false. Not only did you believe you spread the falsehood.
Please stop lying. less than 10% of terrorist attacks come from Muslims. I've provided the evidence. You need to stop spreading this falsehood.
Look we all know how this is going to end, everyones gonna argue, and all the bigots will call me a terrorist and want me deported.
