I will argue that the violence and intolerance of Islam throughout entire regions of the world would constitute more than just "some"Poseidon wrote:
Yes, you are. Because you generalize, and you think that an entire religion is intolerant because of the actions of some, and you want it out of this country.lowing wrote:
Hmm, I am intolerant and why is that? Because I do not like intolerant religions? Ok no sweat, I will live with that.Poseidon wrote:
You say Islam pushes their beliefs on us...
Um, you ever hear of a thing called missionaries? And how they were sent to almost every country the west conquered during the age of imperialism? "The White Man's Burden", as Rudyard Kipling put it.
Oh yeah, but a random muslim guy talking about Islam on the streets is "pushing their beliefs" on you. Yeah. Right.
So basically, it's okay for the Christians to do it, but because Muslims do it, it's not? Last time I was in NYC, I was pestered by a CHRISTIAN telling me to change the way I act (even though I was just walking...) or God will reject me in heaven and that I'll suffer greatly during the apocalypse. I felt like saying "I'm jewish, according to the bible I'm already one of the chosen people", but I just IGNORED HIM. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO. Is this like fucking elementary school? You can't ignore someone who you don't want to hear?
Christ. You guys (David, Lowing, etc) are the most intolerant people I've ever met. If someone said "I want judaism out of this country", you'd both be going up in arms about it because it's BIGOTRY. But because it's about Islam and you yourselves are saying it, it's fine apparentely.
Ironically, I was at a dinner party tonight for a relatives 30th birthday. There was a muslim man and his wife there and we were all discussing the elections and politics in the middle east. Just fine. But, you know, according to you guys he's intolerant of other people and wanted to blow all of us up considering everyone there was Jewish except them.
You can shape it any way you want, but the bottom line is (and most people here agree with me) is that YOU are the only intolerant person here.hi were having this thign its called a debate we talk abot stuf and discus it and sumetiems da topc shiftz ok thx baieaglecorps wrote:
Aww c'mon you guys leave lowing alone for God sakes. He got his views and you shouldn't judge. Stick do the damn topic at hand for fuck sake!
If you don't want your views judged, DON'T FUCKING POST. K? K. <3
I will also argue that since I have been bombarded with just how small a population of Muslims there are in the US and Europe, that peace and tolerance within this religion is the exception and not the rule. Therefore I can conclude that you are guilty of "generalizing" when you say Islam IS a peaceful and tolerant relgion, based on the actions of a few.
Take a look at a map of the most concentrated Islamic regions of the world, then think about all of the violent and troubled hot spots in the world, you will see that they pretty much match. THat is not "generalizing" that is a fact.
here let me help, http://www.swivel.com/graphs/map/15071186
So if Muslims wanna leave their home countries to come to the US to escape the violence and intolerance of ISLAM there, I can hardly blame them. THat is why I do not want ISLAM here and can differenciate between the religion and the people.
Do not bring Islam to my country and do to it what Islam has done to the ME.
