    Dude, I don't think you understand the severity ofaking explicit online threats of violence towards a group of .

    People who make violent threats towards a large group of people are the ones who have more claim to having a 'meltdown'.

    Ahhh.. the anonymity of the internet allows little children to grow a pair. I probably will. I mean if you believe making violent threats online shouldn't be reportable, then... good on you?

    We need a leader like Trump who will take action, not just talk. He isn't the president and he already has ideas on how to stop terrorism.

    I want people viewing this thread who are Muslims or whose families are Muslims to know that there are people in the non-muslim community ready to stand with you and fight against the vile, degenerate, and opportunistic hatred of people like Honeybear.

    Antifascist groups aren't just ready to stomp on white supremacists (like we did in Sacremento recently), but on islamaphobes as well -- as well as on Islamic Fundamentalists (like the antifa fighting alongside the Muslim Kurds in Syria are doing), Zionists (like the Antifa in Israel did this week) and any other sort of fascistic groups that form and try to impose their hatred and brutality on people.

    Stand with those who stand against all forms of hate. Together we can make sure that the tragedy of today on one group isn't followed by tragedies on a different group tomorrow.

    No, I think you're overreacting and derailing the discussion and that your report won't get far.

    This just may be the tipping point.

    I work with religious people with all kinds of weird hangups. But as long as they are not harming anyone I do not care how they express themselves and their 'spirituality'. Specifically, the Muslims I work with are good, hardworking people despite drinking soda instead of beer while out for a happy hour. I cannot and will not judge a billion of people because the heinous acts committed on their behalf. Most people trying to migrate to Europe are refugees and people trying to make a better life to me, but they're not ISIS, Al-Qaeda, rapists, etc. This is in part because I believe almost everyone is a regular human being trying to make ends meet.

    But I also recognize people are capable of doing truly awful things, especially when it's believed its God's will (any faith including Islam, Christianity, and Judaism is susceptible to this).
    We as a society should have the courage to stand up to stop these people because ultimately they are trying to destroy our way of life and remake it so they are the top. ISIS and their creed is especially dangerous and disgusting and must be stopped.

    The people trying to justify committing future atrocities on previous atrocities are the same monsters just in different colors than the ones they are vilifying.

    While I assume we see these things the same, I bet we are still on different pages because I see the world ideally run with neoliberal values (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism) while you likely support a world run with neoconservative values (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism).

    Those posts are up to 14 years old, and do thankfully contain intentionally and unintentionally false information. (Thankfully I was not dumb enough to post my SSN on a BBS at 14 years old). I kindly ask you to stop dredging up old stupid posts by me with malicious intent.

    So a poster comes in here making accusations of terrorism to individual posters here on this specific thread and in another thread made an explicit violent threat towards a large group of people, and you think he ought to not be reported?

    I think the site would benefit from both you and him not posting.

    I don't think his posts will be found by authorities to be anything criminal.

    Came in to say what a despicable, heinous, deplorable act and see that the thread has derailed

    Carry on

    RIP to the victims

    You're a great poster, you could calm it down a little bit though, at least from where I'm sitting.
