There's a few mosques here and there in western Washington, and you don't hear much about them. Makes me jump to the conclusion that the people going to them pretty much want to mind their own business and live their lives in peace. Which is find with me, as long as the buildings aren't harboring illegal arms, aliens, or, again, blasting prayers across neighborhoods.

Oh, okay.

And not wanting their religion around you means...you have a phobia of them.
been to Minneapolis or Columbus Ohio lately?

Nope, a phobia is a fear...I do not fear them, I have a personal preference and a choice, and I choose not live amongst them...I know I know, that makes me a racist. Fine, then I will join the other racists that live in all other ethnic communities that choose to live with their own people. Harlem, Chinatown, Little Havana, Little Italy, Little Korea, Little Greece. etc......or I am the only racist because I choose to live among other white people?
So basically, the Germans desire to "not want to live amongst the jews" was justified? Because you're taking up the same ideologies of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich's desire for that.

Good. Game.

Big difference with those places - people there won't care if a white person moves into Harlem, a Black person moves into Little Italy, etc. It's not like those people are like "I don't want to live near white people". They simply want to be near more of their own. You know, as they are after all a minority.

You, however, find it so stressful to live among muslims just because of what they believe.
Ahhhhh, here we go again with the your the spawn of Hitler bulldhit . Are you really gunna compare me to Hitler because I do not want any Mosques built in my nieghborhood ans I choose not to live in a mostly ME'ern community ? Pretty damned desperate comparission to try and make a point I would say.

NO it is the same thing, any black person that moves into a mostly white nieghborhood is not murdered or harrassed, any more than a whiye person moving into a black nieghborhood would be. It all comes down to personal choice and by you saying there is a "big difference" pretty much admits that every other race is allowed that choice except white people. If white people do it, we are bigots. That my friend makes you the bigger racist. Congrats.

I think it just boils down to personal choice. It's unconstitutional and unfair not to allow the building of a mosque in one's neighborhood simply on religious grounds...
However, it is your right to move away, hold silent contempt, and speak on the internet as much as you want... But a line would be drawn if you verbally or physically abused anyone as a result of your beliefs.
So, if you feel strongly enough to move away from the mosque, then that's your choice, but you simply can't argue that they should not be allowed to build one.

Lowing, you're arguing technicalities now... based on your statements that we've all seen for quite a while now, you exhibit phobic tendencies regarding Islam, whether or not your actions show a literal, word-for-word "phobia" of them.
1. I agree 100%

2. I do not like asperagaus either, but I contend I do not have a phobia against it. It is not a phobia, that is YOUR word, it is a choice, and I do not like this religion.

There is a mosque less than 100m away from where my grandma lives. I actually like it. The people are nice and they don't ring any bells like the Christians do (Stupid bells always wake me up). Also right by the mosque there is some turk with a small supermarket that is open 24/7. It's a muslim Kwik-E-Mart
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

If you can not show me where those events were carried out by extremists, then you have no reason to believe or argue they were, so why not stop with the bullshit circle jerk?
Well, I can name at least ten Muslim people off the top of my head that would not take part in, and do not condone terrorist attacks, and the hundreds of Muslims that go to said mosque haven't done anything save a peaceful anti-Israel picket protest about a year ago, yet all these people still hold on to their Islamic religion. I would consider them moderates. The people killing over it, I would consider them extremists.
well I guess 10 outta 1.5 billion is a start huh?

I do notice that a protest against an entire people is allowed in this tolerant and peaceful religion. Good stuff. But hey, I am the racist.

I.e. it's your opinion that they're not extremists.

Could it be that you have no idea whether they're extremists or not and you're simply labelling them as non-extremist in order to justify your belief that Islam is at it's heart violent and evil?
The notion that the rioters ( all over the ME ) were everyday people living their everyday lives, and the fact that no extremist groups claimed "responsibility" for the rioting, suggests they were not extremists in general. Just a shit load of Muslims pissed off over cartoons.
Mmm, with words like suspect or suggest you wouldn't win in a court.
You are getting pretty damned desporate for an argument if you are trying to tell me to PROVE that the rioters and protesters ALL ovever the world were not extremist. You know it and I know it. SO stop with the witness chair routine

Neither Am I.  We don't belong to any Religion, yet we hold very different views about this issue.  There is some bigotry within Islam, but there also is some within other Religions, that was my point.

I'd not like to see a mosque, close to where I live, built. I'm just being honest with myself. I just don't feel like it's the right place to build them contrary to christian church.

My "hitler bullshit"? I think I've mentioned Hitler maybe twice in D&ST in my almost 2 years of being on BF2s...I'm not COMPARING you to Hitler, I'm saying you share the same ideologies of him. Which you do. You don't want to live amongst a type of people because of what they live in. That is EXACTLY what Hitler wanted. Do you need me to prove it to you?

https://www.kumah.org/uploaded_images/juden-708101.jpg

These are signs that were posted on public and private property in Germany. "Jews not wanted here", it says. Change it to "Muslims not wanted here", and I've pretty much got your desires dead-on.

I have a (white) friend who moved to NYC and eventually moved into Harlem. He's doing just fine, thanks. Obviously you missed what I said - I said white people can move into areas like Little Italy, Harlem etc and people there don't "want them out" like you do. And if they do, they're just as much of a bigot as you are. If a black person in Harlem moved out of Harlem because a white person lived next door to them, then they're EXACTLY like you. A racist and a bigot. I think you've come to the conclusion that I make exceptions for minorities, which I don't. Also as I said, you just like the minorities can move into a more "white" area to be with more of your own. Feel free! THAT doesn't make you a racist or a bigot, it's the fact that you don't WANT to be near anything muslim just because of what they believe.

How exactly does that make me the bigger racist? Not once did I say it's okay for a black person to do the same. I don't care who the fuck lives near me as long as they don't cause trouble.

You're xenophobic and scared of Muslims because you probably listen to Fox News 24/7, lowing. That's the bottom line. Really, is having one of THESE in your neighborhood going to make it look "middle eastern"?

I think it's hilarious how a grown man is so scared of Muslims. I mean, I hate Islam too (I voted last option), but I have nothing against ordinary Muslims. And I'm definitely not scared of them like you seem to be.

Perhaps it's because we actually have Muslims in this area and the only experience you have of them is from Fox News and some time at a Military Base in Iraq

Yup, all of those things would make one a bigot (although for me being intolerant of whites and infidels wouldn't count, because they are not differing creeds, beliefs or opinions).

Actually, I do live in a mostly black neighbourhood. I live near Peckham (New Cross is where I actually live) in South London, it is a very cosmopolitan society and I like it that way.
