Title: What is a racist comment? Post by gandalf on May 15th, 2016 at 11:55am
Firstly, the disclaimer I always make when mentioning racism, that I don't believe there to be any such thing as human 'races', so we can dispense with the usual "Islamophobia can't be racism because Islam is not a race". "Racism" is merely a byword for prejudice and bigotry directed at people on the basis of their ethnic, religious or physical differences. If you prefer to use the word "prejudice" or "bigotry", thats fine by me.
So then, what makes a racist comment? According to FD the phrase "arabia for arabs" is "blatant racism", but the following gem can apparently be dismissed: moses wrote on Oct 23rd, 2015 at 4:39pm:

The difference? As FD said, these people are trying to take away the freedoms of white people everywhere.
How could it not be about race? |

Racism exists in every culture but it's only noticed and frowned upon when you direct it towards members of society considered lower on the totem pole that your own. Directing it higher is usually considered comedy.
Making fun of Swedish or Scottish accents has been feeding comedians for years without controversy. |

You can say what you want this is typical Muslim nonsense hence why people can't stand muslims. Islam IS NOT A RACE. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU LIKE TO MAKE OUT IT SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE ONE. ITS A BLOODY RELIGION DEAL WITH IT AND MOVE ON FOR GOODNESS SAKES. Even then its more mythical nonsense that no sane person takes seriously anyway. Seriously ::) Racism today is the opium of the jealous moreons of society. A crutch used to stick it to people who are happier with their lives and are better off. Usually directed at white Caucasian people alluding to their membership of either Nazi Germany or the clan when all the time they are actually the ones carrying on like the Nazis and the Clan. |

Secret Wars, Exactly so. i.e. As you refer/allude to in your post; Many moslems will publicly claim, that acts of political violence, carried out by moslems, in the name of ISLAM; ".....would make Hamas not reeaallly Muslims." An argument which seems to point to the conclusion that; Every moslem, is a moslem...... ......right up until the nano-second, when a moslem mysteriously morphs into a homicidal maniac, and wants to slaughter every infidel that he can lay his holy hands upon!! And then, comes the call from the peaceful moslems. When in unison, all of the peaceful moslems will declare, AND INSIST; "But he/they [the homocidal maniac] are not really moslems. Coz, as everyone knows, ISLAM is about brining only peace to mankind." And here is an example [posted here on OzPol] of the bit about; ".....ISLAM is about bringing only peace to mankind." ......confirmed, and reiterated, once more, by our very own gandalf; Quote: "Peace summarises everything in Islam..." http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1462962395/49#49 You see, .....gandalf, is a real moslem! .

Title: Re: What is a racist comment? Post by Yadda on May 16th, 2016 at 8:58am SO, WHAT IS GOING ON ? But we have the occasion, when other moslems will choose to express their devotion to their deity, Allah, by morphing into a homicidal maniac ! QUESTION; So what is REALLY going on, in the moslem camp ??? ANSWER; 'THIS' IS WHAT IS 'GOING ON', IN THE MOSLEM CAMP !!!! AND 'THIS', IS ISLAM's TRUE FACE, ...EXPOSED ! ----------- > IMAGE...

Isn't that correct, gandalf! ;) . Taqiyya “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish it through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible..., and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory. ...One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie…” Google; taqiyya - the muslim doctrine of deceit How Taqiyya Alters Islams Rules of War http://www.meforum.org/2538/taqiyya-islam-rules-of-war Google, smile to the face "while our hearts curse them" |

I don't fear them. I don't like them. Secondly running around calling people wacists when Islam IS NOT a race is for nutjobs. Islam is still not a race. You can call it what you want. Most simpletons would agree with you. Its not wacist to hate murderers, terrorists, pedophiles and bludgers but according to you if you hate islam which is made up of those we are wacist, bigots. So no its not semantics at all. So you are wrong and so is gandalf. Try harder next time, then all those who disagree with you may be wacists. Pfft. |

Not only totally incorrect, but a mischievous misrepresentation of the word 'racist' and 'racism'. Somewhere back there, only a few years ago, the lexicologists working out of Oxford decided to widen the goal-posts on the words 'racist' and 'racism' so they would also cover exotic cultures and religions - thus making it a 'taboo' and a breach of the Vilification Acts to voice honest appraisals and criticism of immigrant cultures and religions brought in from the 'Third World'. The expanded definition was designed to further help stamp out freedom of speech where this might upset certain immigrant sensitivities of an inferiority complex nature. |

FD, could you entertain the idea that your idea of "race" is not necessarily other people's? When people assault Sikhs, thinking they are muslim, would you call that a "racist" attack - even though they are supposedly only attacking people because of their beliefs? When someone categorises the entire muslim population into a genetic sub-group, as moses does here, is that not 'racializing' muslims? |

Not at all. You strike me as an intelligent, rather likeable man. But to live in Australia, I think you should have to renounce your faith. Nonetheless, the thread question is about racism, not Islam. Do you accept that within the description of "dog" there are different temperaments, so that certain breeds are recognised as more intelligent than others, whilst others are recognised as more aggressive? Do you accept - within humans - certain races are more intelligent than others? For example, Asians are more intelligent than Caucasians, although Caucasians produce more geniuses? Do you accept that white men can't jump, when compared to their negro counterparts, but negros are useless and unrepresentative in the pool, when it comes to swimming? |

The question, "what is a racist comment" becomes rather negligible if racism, is in fact, verifiable, and Asians as a whole are accepted as on average smarter than your average Caucasian bear.
