You people just want to believe it is racism. Saying that the ideology of Islam is not in keeping with the spirit of the western world is simply not racist.

Since you people have turned a logical discussion into me saying "all Muslims want to destroy America" I shall attempt to clarify again before abandoning this thread and not really bothering to waste my breath (metaphorical of course).

Obviously the vast majority of Muslims don't hate the US, and even fewer are actively attempting to destroy it. It's very difficult however to know who is an ally and who is an enemy.

The guy who attempted to blow up the Reserve Bank in NYC freakin' came here on a student visa. A student visa for god's sake!!!

You guys can twist reality all you want, but the fact remains that Islam has convinced quite a few people that they should attempt to destroy America (again, a small percentage of all Muslims).

I'm very scientific, and the last person to say that someone should be discriminated against based on religion at birth, which is something that you don't even choose, but seriously!!!!! You can't ignore what is going on in the world in order to remain idealistic and see the world that way that it should be.

The guy who attempted to blow up the Reserve Bank in NYC freakin' came here on a student visa. A student visa for god's sake!!!

I'm gonna add: Islam isn't a race, so racism is not the word you are looking for.

EDIT: I would appreciate if someone could quote something I have said implying that I think all Muslims are bad or a threat to this country or something of that sort. It would much appreciated.

EDIT: In general, I am actually supportive of allowing immigration and blending cultures...this is a bit different. The thing with you Narg is: you think about the matter very simplistically. You're not getting that there is a middle ground—it's possible to not be a racist, but to still appreciate the fact that Islamic culture clashes with that of America.

And much of what you say is just factually not accurate, if I may say so. You seem to believe that only a very small portion of extremists hate the US. That isn't true. There is much footage of ordinary Muslims (non-violent ones) celebrating September 11 and other terrorist attacks. Not many are insane enough to act on their disdain for America, but many feel it.

History sees clashes of civilization all the time: our clash with the Indians, the clash between Christians and Muslims in the middle ages, and so on.

Yeah, do that. You're contributing nothing to the discussion, besides us being able to watch the birth of the next Adolf Hitler. Maybe this time instead of getting rejected from an art university, your mom will take away your computer and then ooooooh [poo] son you better back the [m'kay] up, because [female dog] gonna get genocided

I could make a long, reasoned argument, but you're not worth it anymore. I'll let the above quote make my argument instead.

I honestly don't get it. You are born into a religion. You don't choose it (unless you convert). That is how it works.

What I said is: you don't get to choose your religion, so it's illogical to discriminate against someone who hasn't done anything based on it. Not that there is anything wrong with believing in a religion different from that of the majority.

And you don't have an argument, which is why you won't write one. The only argument you have is "kjeop is racist." No facts or quotes from me to support it. You just think it sounds good.

Narg, not sure 'who' you refer to as the next 'Adolph Hitler', but even Obama can't sink to that level.

And Homestar, calling Islamic Terrorists 'Ragheads' isn't 'Racism'. It's GQ.
They wear Rags on their heads, and hold them on using the 'fan belts' of cars. I don't believe for one second that Pi lumped the entire Islamic community in the Raghead category. Just the wackos if a figurative sense. And btw, you, Narg and others stop acting like sensitive pussies and saying its 'racism'. If its anything, it's 'Ethnicity' which is based on 'beliefs'! Not Race! Muslims are not Negros, Eskimos, Indians or even Mexicans. Three of which have some sort of 'Honkey' in them. So knock it off!!

This whole thread is damn ridiculous.

I freakin' say that many of the ideals of Islam are incompatible with Western ideas, bring up the fact that terrorism exists, and I tell Crater not to call someone a racist just cause he calls Muslims "ragheads.:

Suddenly, I've got Narg, Crater, and even Hstar saying I accused all Muslims of attempting to destroy the US and of being a racist.

Well, thankfully there are some normal people out there who can read and understand English. And for the record, it wasn't me who used the word "raghead." I had simply told Crater not to accuse someone of being a racist for using it. The term is derogatory, but doesn't mean someone is a racist.

Zero reason to call anyone here a racist. It's uncalled for and is nothing more than bomb throwing. I'm very disappointed in some of you.

Narg, I know where you're coming from dude, honestly I do. We're just not there yet as a society.
