Wtf is going on here?
There are many people who really need to understand that racism, stereotyping, generalization, and prejudice are not the solution.
Have you read the latest threads about Islam or Muslims?
There is a total disrespect for the entire Muslim community. And I'm not Muslim. But if some Muslim guy enters this forum and reads some threads he will run away. [insert bad joke about Muslims blowing shit here]
And I noticed some Nazi comments as well. Nothing compared to the reigning Islamophobia, but still scaring, since we all know what Nazism can do.
The discriminatory comments need to stop. Thousands of kids read this. What are we teaching them? That the whole Middle East is a bunch of terrorists? I don't think that's right.
If you don't like Religion cool. If you don't like Islam cool. But show some respect for other people's beliefs and stop generalizing about Religions and Ethnic groups.
We are not helping the situation, we are spreading the hate.

Next time a Roman Catholic in 2007 stones someone for dating a Baptist, you can call me a racist.

At least, they are a sect and you are not generalising about the whole Muslim Community.

I agree with this.

Making true points about Islam, is not racism, however, writing a book about it will get you killed.

If I'm reading it right, you're saying those sorts of incidents happen a lot in Islam.

I think that the media simply likes to report on this stuff. There are lots of peaceful muslims. In elementary school I knew this kid who was muslim, and he was very friendly as were his parents. Are there lots of fanatical muslims as well? Yes. But we can't let the bad apples spoil the whole tree.

I could make sweeping, harsh generalizations about other groups of people too. Whites are evil cause they enslaved Africans.

C'mon everyone. It might be hard for some but the world would be a better place if we saw bad people as bad people and good people.

Certain forum users descend to the lowest common denominator, racism, sectarianism, bigotry and generalisation, at the drop of a hat. But whaddaya gonna do? You can't legislate for the sheer volume of morons who are members of online forums.

"Muslim school girl at Jean-Mermoz College in Lyon, France was injured by gravel thrown at her by four male classmates who are Muslim, as reported in the regional newspaper Le Progrès . The reason given was for eating during the fast of Ramadan, and thus not observing what is believed by Muslims to be one of the five pillars of Muslim faith."

One of my best mates for 6 years was muslim. Any sterotype of muslims is bullshit. He had better morals than most of the people on this forum... I was more "fascist" than him.

The report button works here. If a post is blatantly offensive use it. We talk about sensitive subjects in here and if someone crosses the line from intellectual debate to hateful remarks they will be taken care of. Otherwise challenge their views.

What about the Kurdish rock-throwers who are Muslim?

You are advocating political correctness.
Fuck that: you bag on Bush, capitalism and Israel and I will bag on Islam.

Do you really want me complaining about your palestinian threads:?

The 13-year-old told Bristol Crown Court the Rev David Smith had taken advantage of him after he joined the choir at St John's in Clevedon. He said the vicar had kissed him and abused him after inviting him to the vicarage for roast dinners.

How would Catholic people feel if I'd say that all priests do the same? That would be generalising.

No..it would be fairly true. But since it is covered up, how can you say it is not?
