Salman Rushdie is still alive? Thought he had a million dollar price on his head by Muslims for writing the Satanic verses. Glad some people are stepping up to this apparent rise of Islamicism and shouldn't be afraid of them.

   

Can't wait to see these people denounced as right-wing, fascistic, islamophobic, genocidal, ignorant, fundamentalist Christian, hate mongering, Crusaders.

   

Iran is gonna go broke putting contracts out on the lives of all these folks.

   

Don't worry, the Islamophiles and self-loathing westerners of the left will find a way.

   

C'mon! Where's all the usual muslim apologists to call these people names? HUH???

You people call me names for saying what these people have said quite plainly here.

Are you going to call them names, too?

Your silence on this is deafening.

Hypocrites.

   

Do you go looking for a fight for any reason. Thread after thread after racist thread gets started and when a few of us have had enough and don't respond you guys freak out. Just because anti-muslim hatred has become a focal point of your life doesn't mean I or anyone else who recognizes the fact that the danger is not actually the religion but is extremist & literal interpretaion of it doesn't need to make combatting ignorance the focal point of our lives.



That doesn't say "islam needs to be defeated" but that society needs the freedom of secular values, exactly the same sentiment that for the last few centuries we have used to fight against any religion from enforcing its beliefs and values on us.

A very big difference.

   

The fact that I am not enamored of islam is not racism.

Get your epithets straight.

   

No. Blaming an entire group of people for the actions of a few is the essence of racism. You make little if no distinction between those that use islam as an excuse for violence and insist its the religion.

Once they throw away the literal interpretations they will become as tame and docile as we taught you christians to be.

   

It’s great to see good old Salman still alive and kicking!

And the fact that the “fatwa – register” just keeps on growing is proving the case made by the “Jyllands-Posten” (The Danish paper that first printed the cartoons).

Personally I’m getting pretty tired of people (also Danes) standing up for Islamist dictatorships, medieval witchdoctors, terrorists, school children brainwashed to hate Denmark…, flag burnings, boycotts… - They all say I should RESPECT them and their religion??? HOW?

   

That is correct. You cannot be racist towards a religion because religion is not a race. So no you are not being racist.

   

Feel free to substitute "bigotry" for racism, 2 terms I consider almost identical.

The fact remains that not all muslims are radicals, extremists, terrorists, etc.

Its no different then thinking all blacks are XXX, all jews are XXX, all Canadians are XXX, etc

As soon as we give in to the hate these extremists fuckwits relish we become just like them.

   

So call him a bigot and not a racist, get the terms right next time.
