If that is not the tea calling the kettle black, I do not know what the hell is. Without a doubt, you are the most biased and agenda-filled poster on this site. No question on that! Find me one other poster here, liberal or conservative, black or white, Jew or gentile, that would disagree with my assertion about you.
Pictures please!!! I need pictures for proof! And it better not be from sites such as www.Indians_Ride_cowboys.com www.Arrows_Break_Bullets.com www.Red_indian_Palestenians.com www.Palestine_aross_Atlantic.com www.Stole_my_land_and_my_hot_wifey.com Obvious bias!!!! I would rather go to Fox, and do some search.
Fair enough. I'll state the obvious and say that the world has way too many f'd up Muslims and I have a very difficult time seeing assclowns degrade my faith and give it a bad Muslims. Now show everyone that you have some huevos and state the obvious; you are the most agenda-filled poster on this board.
hmmm... Im curious. Has anyone ever seen a post by boom-man that wasn't insulting to someone? I dont read thru as many threads re as I used to, but it suddenly occured to me that Ive seen posters disappear for far less, so I was just curious how this guy continues to avoid the guillotine. oh yea...ontopic I could think of worse religious enclaves than catholics.
I disagree with your assertion about gwayneco. I have seen several extreme left posters who were at least as biased.
State the obvious? Too many f'd up Muslims? Why dont you give us a figure to back up your assertion? Who made you the authority on Islam? Go try living under a US sponsored dictatorship in the Muslim world and then see how you react. This world is a nasty place filled with some very nasty people no need for you to single out one group
I wouldn't call those who kill innocent people "muslims". So i don't think that statement of yours makes any sense. You may want to replace the word Muslims with terrorists. "f'd up terrorists". Now that sounds better.
I'm a left-liberal and a personal friend of gwayneco. I know that he feels that people on my side of the fence take too much joy in pointing out whenever America does anything "wrong", and that he thinks that many of us want to see America fail, just because we dislike the current administration. I think he posts "bad muslim du jour" posts as kind of a commentary on what he sees as attacks on America in this forum. I like him personally, and I don't think he is the slightest bit racist, though I confess if I knew him only from his D&D posts I probably wouldn't have as high an opinion of him as I do from knowing the man. Don't get me wrong, I disagree with almost every political opinion he has. I think where we fundamentally differ is our definition of patriotism, I think (and he might correct me here) he feels that America has enough enemies that we need to present a united front to the world. While I feel that the most important function of patriotism is to make sure we are representing the best values internally, and that when (and the current administration is only a recent albiet powerful example) America strays from what is right, its more patriotic to resist its straying than to support "my country right or wrong". Anyway, just my two cents.
Well said Major. I don't think anyone should be judged as a person based on posts over the internet. That is especially true when talking about something as individualized as politics, and the like. I don't know gwayneco in any way shape or form, and would never judge him as a person based on his posts. The only thing we should judge around here is a person's politics, and not the person.
But why is posting a 'bad muslim du jour" a commentary on attacks on America? How is continously pointing out the misdeeds of Muslims defending America? It paints a false dichotomy that Islam is the enemy of the US when there are American Muslims, Muslims serving in the US military and Muslims around the world who are allied with the US. Its the kind of thinking that plays right into the hands of Osama Bin Ladin who wants to reduce the war on terror into a straightforward war between the West and Islam. But by his relentless , I would say obsessive, targetting on everything critical of Islam including such obscure things as a couple of Muslims in the UK upset about how BK draws ice cream presenting a unified front? If anything it weakens a unified front against terrorism and extremism by painting a picture that Muslims are unrepentently backward. It essentially dismisses the possibility of Muslims being allies. Just wanted to add I don't know Gwayneco personally and have no reason to judge him personally. I'm sure he's a stand up guy. That said though I think his almost nonstop focus on pointing out every thing wrong he can find about Islam is misguided and his attitude and those who share it far from aiding in the war on terror actually helps our enemies by strengthening the radicals in Islam.
Ditto. Gwayneco has attended quite a few gigs of both of my bands, and has been very supportive of local live music. I've sat down with him and had drinks with him. I may disagree with his politics, but there are alot of people in the world whose politics I disagree with. That still doesn't mean we can't be friends, and I consider Gwayneco a friend.
Just so you know, I am a member of the group that I am supposedly "singling out." Whoa! You do not think that there is a serious problem with the Muslim world? I am not the authority on Islam nor have I ever even hinted such. I do not need to be the authority on Islam to know that the Muslim world has issues today and I am proud enough as a Muslim to value my religion while recognizing that people in my faith have a lot of room for improvement. There is nothing wrong with recognizing the flaws in the people that recognize your faith. Catholics did it with their priests and more Muslims need to do it as well. Plus, I find it personally insulting that you somehow indirectly justify beheadings, kidnappings, and suicide bombings. If you think that those things are cool and justified by living in U.S. sponsored dictatorships, then I feel sorry for you. I guess that means I certainly do not practice the same Islam you do.
I'm sure Gwayneco is a great guy. I never said he wasn't. What I said was that he is agenda-filled. If I am wrong in my assertion that he seems to have an anti-Muslim agenda, then I apologize for making such a claim. However, posting 18 anti-Muslim threads a day tends to signify that you at least pretend to have an agenda. I do agree that you can't judge one's character from a BBS board and I certainly am not judging Gwayneco's. All I am saying is that making a conscious effort to dig up any and all forms of dirt , whether significant or insignificant, on a particular group of people usually means that you have a bias. Nevertheless, I shouldn't have made such a claim. It's not my BBS and everyone is free to have their own take on things.
