The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem and if Soren admits he's a bigot, there may be hope for him afterall.
I think that's as likely as you ever admitting your own intolerance toward opposing opinions and basing your arguments on established science.
Oh, I've always admitted I have little tolerance for racism, bigotry, intolerance, discrimination, hatred and so on, based as it is invariably on pseudoscience and bigotry, Lionel. Do you believe such should be accepted and tolerated?
You simply label opposing opinions as "racism, bigotry, intolerance, discrimination, hatred" to save yourself from needing to think, let alone to make a coherent point, Brain.
Your only argument, ever, is "it's not everty single Muslim who is bad therefore Islam cannot be the reason for the bad Muslims.'
But I think the bad Muslims are motivated precisely by Islam, not least because they say so themselves, loud and clear. I take them at their word and deeds. Islam is self-evidently an intolerant creed, both inward and outward. Pointing this out - or hearing it from Muslims - is not "racism, bigotry, intolerance, discrimination, hatred".
You can look at any country's security plans, defence against ISLAMIC terrorism is central to all their plans. It is evidently a GOOD THING to be intolerant against Islamic terrorism, jihad, caliphate-preaching and agitation for return to the 7th century Arab standards of life.
I have nothing against anyone or any hue who has been born Muslim and is against the Islamic teachings that have been fuelling violence, oppression, superstition and completely baseless superiority complex since Islam burst out of Araby 1400 years ago.
I have nothing against Germans who renounced Nazism, Russians who renounced Stalinism and Communism, or any [
your nationality here] who renounce [
your distasteful supremacist ideology here].
