Hysteria over Muslims spreads all over America!

[Plow]

I'd guess I have around 1000 posts in political and religious threads.

All negative and bashing religion and politicians, of course.

[Kuya]

Neosutra is not a religion or politician.

Never have i seen a man try so feverishly to crawl up another man's ass. One of these days, you're going to die up there.

[Plow]

Obviously you and beckwin need a ceiling mirror, then.

[Kuya]

If you are gunna compare Christian extremists vs Muslim extremists you should at least we aware that the majority of people we label Muslim extremists/terrorists aren't doing this shit purely in the name of Islam. It has just as much to do with non-religious beliefs and just straight up gang-like activity. They are criminals, not the super fanatical religious warriors they are labeled as.

Of course its easier to just paint them as crazy Muslims rather than attempt to understand why certain people do what they do.

Good article on the above subject as well: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...outta_kandahar



Ontopic, I think Muslims and immigrants in general are being used as scapegoats for the people most adversely affected by the current economic issues in the US. When shit goes bad, people often look to place blame elsewhere. Nationalism is running rampant atm, creating an "us vs them" sentiment and obviously "them" are Muslims and anyone that is foreign to us in the west. East vs West, etc.

This is of course also all tied together by the two wars we have going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have cost us young soldier's lives and have been massive money sinks. Its natural for there to be some resentment and blame against the "people" we view as being responsible for these wars and the incredible cost associated with them. Of course, the ignorance surrounding the M.E. in this country that groups all Muslims together only further perpetuates these issues.

Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been any major public violence against Muslims.

I forgot to comment here. Yea, i've heard commentators mention often that all this hoopla can also be explained because of economic hardtimes. As in, looking for someone or something to blame for why things are the way they are. But do you think the republicans do this with the specific intent of diverting people's attention away from what is really the cause of their troubles or do they do this reflexively? I don't see why they would do the former since it's not their problem. They're not the ones in power so they i don't think they need to distract from anything.

Oh man

here's a simple litmus test:


name one single positive thing kuya has ever said about the U.S.


now, ask yourself how often he talks negatively about it


You're choosing the wrong person to defend in your "zomg anyone that disagrees with you hates america" spiel.

lol


In other words Kuya needs to reaffirm his patriotism once in a while to not be labelled as an America hater.

What is acceptable ratio for you when it comes down to breakdowns of threads that are criticizing America vs praising the red, white and blue?

I really want to know so I don't get labelled one as well.

would putting the American Flag in my Sigtar bring the ratio to a reasonable level for you? you fucking retard

Kuya desires a nation with freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, transparent government, social equality, and economic maneuverability so naturally he hates the modern USA

dear god that was painful to type up. truth's a bitch

[Kuya]

That's not going to work on him.

Muslims are more Christian than Christians are.

Oh man



lol

I don't even care about your ratio of praise to bashing specifically.

Look simply at the amount of time he spends bashing the U.S. vs doing anything else at all.

It's not a complex process.

Chances are, if you spend the vast majority of your life lecturing about how bad something is, you probably don't like that thing.

[Plow]

Unless, of course, you're a hypocritical dipshit.


Oh, well, nevermind then, everything is clear.

[Kuya]

I don't recall ever saying America is bad. You're really not making much sense at all. Because:

1- Criticism of specific things within America does not mean criticism of America as a whole.

2- Whether i hate America or not has no relevance in regards to whether i'm lying or inaccurate. My threads should be judged on whether the information they convey is true or not, or at the very least rigorous.

In any case, could you stop shitting up my thread before i call a mod? I have enough people chasing after my sweet ass.

1. So that means since you make fun of a few Christians you don't dislike all of them?

2. Any idiot can write a blog or a news story these days, doesn't mean its true.

[Kuya]

lol

[Plow]

Remember that time it was perfectly fine for people to take legal action on people for having Christian gatherings in a residential area?


Remember that time when

Kevin Wiley has been waiting for Monday for two years.

That's the day when DuPage County's Zoning Board of Appeals opens a hearing into a proposal to convert a house at 28W774 Army Trail Road near West Chicago into the headquarters for the Islamic Center of Western Suburbs.

The leaders of the Muslim group want to turn the house they bought out of foreclosure into a prayer center and food pantry. Neighbors like Wiley want the group to stop using the house for anything other than a residence until the county decides whether to allow a different use.

= hysteria over Muslims?

Unless, of course, you're a hypocritical dipshit.


Oh, well, nevermind then, everything is clear.

mmhmmm

[Kuya]

Congratulations? You found one amongst many that doesn't necessarily imply negativity towards Muslims.

If you're not contesting that there isn't an upsurge in islamophobia (and can defend such a claim effectively), then please go away.

America is a country that was founded on the principle of political discourse being okay. We were not a monarchy where speaking against the government was grounds for treason charges. Free speech was designed to protect dissidents. Protecting dissidents was intended to encourage/force our government to improve. Criticizing our country is a vast improvement over rational ignorance on every issue, which is what I see from most people these days.

Implying Kuya is un-American because he criticizes our country is like implying someone is un-American for taking advantage of any of our other basic rights, including freedom of religion. I'm seeing a trend, but it doesn't make me think kindly of you.

[BRP]

Note: Kuya spends AT LEAST an equal amount of time hating things in our solar system as he does America.

Kuya's un-American because he's not an American.

Kuya dislikes America for an entire different set of reasons. (Well, not entirely, he's pretty pissed about not being American, too.)

It's not that rare to see things like "John Stewart stands up to such and such," or "Anonymous acts out against this or that bad organization" etc. in threads, i.e. people celebrating the actions of others, as opposed to exclusively bashing. Unless, of course, you're only reading Kuya threads.


I wonder if anyone else is a sickened as I am by the reality that so many people will thoughtlessly chime in with "Why bother talking about good stuff? Nobody wants to hear that crap," and then wonder how the hell Glenn Beck, Ann Coultier, and Rush actually have an audience.

Kuya wasn't born in PR?
