Absolutely despicable and almost unbelievable that these backwards Muslim towelheads could possibly think this would be a good idea in the modern world.

Most Muslims don't support legalizing child brides or other reprehensible and outdated practices so there is no reason to call them names.kinard wrote:Do you actually call Muslims derogatory names to their face?Harold wrote:Absolutely despicable and almost unbelievable that these backwards Muslim towelheads could possibly think this would be a good idea in the modern world.

Harold... I'm trying to understand how you can call David L, Nirvana, Joon, jm, and violet hateful as well as stating this is a hate site with admins that use racial sturs... in the same breath as you can say, "backwards Muslim towelheads". Can you explain this please?Postby Harold » 09 Nov 2016 15:43

This is the type of hate and bigotry that Trump is trying to transcend. It is really a shame how hateful and bigoted this forum is and how many people here are cynical about President Elect Donald Trump.
It doesn't really surprise me given that this is a hate site where even admins publically use racial slurs.
It shows how hateful and out of touch posters like David L, Nirvana, Joon, jm, and violet really are.
But as Donald Trump himself said tonight in his historic address, we need to overlook our differences and work together for a better, brighter future.

Because Islam is a fundamentally hateful and bigoted religion and a fairly substantial number of Muslims use the Q'uran and the hadeeths to justify any number of unethical and abhorrent practices such as halal slaughter, child brides, slavery, sex slavery, the killing of homosexuals, the killing of adulterers, the killing of those who have pre-marital sex, taxes on non-Muslims, second class treatment of non-Muslims, second class treatment of women, etc.
Most Muslims are good and decent people despite being born and brought up in a hateful religion. A substantial minority are uncompromising in their faith and the result is often times tragic.

You're entitled to your views Harold, but the use of racist/bigoted slurs?

No. The word Muslim covers individuals who have a certain set of beliefs and rituals. Any person of any race can choose to become a Muslim. Sadly, it is illegal for Muslims in many countries to leave their religion because the penalty for apostasy is death.
The only way that I could be 'racist' againts Muslims would be if Islam has a racial component inherent in the religion itself. The Prophet Muhammad and his followers did claim that Allah chose an Arab to be his final messenger because Arabic is the most poetic and beautiful of all languages spoken by men. However, this would imply a belief in the superiority of the Arabic tongue and not a superiority in race, although Uthman and a few others wanted to keep Islam among the Arabs for reasons that could be described as racist. In the final analysis, Muhammad said on his deathbed that Muslims should accept anyone righteous as their leader, even if their head was shaped like a dried prune (a black African) What Muhammad meant was that any individual of any race had the potential to be a good Muslim and a worthy slave of Allah.
A common definition of bigoted:
"a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc"
I strongly dislike Islam. However, my dislike is supported by an enormous amount of evidence and research. I don't unfairly dislike Islam. I do not consider my views to be in anyway bigoted.
