When, you two disoriented mor0ns, when?

Why are Muslims still where the people they despise and kill for being 'infidels' - Christians and Jews - were 300 years ago?  Why give the Muslims a pass for still being 300 years behind?

Why are YOU excusing primitives who have not moved on in 1400 years as preferable to people who have evolved and progressed??


Tsk, tsk, shifting the goal posts again, Soren?  Really?  I've reminded of how you Islamophobes like to do that when you're on a losing wicket (to mix sporting metaphors). 

Christians have been killing Christians and non-Christians since the time of Christ.   Go and look at a (good) history book.   The wars have been immeasurable in the amount of death, destruction and so on.  Tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

We ALL live in the same time, you stupid mong - Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists.

There is NO excuse for the Muslims to be back where the rest of us were 3-400 years ago.

Muslims NOW are behaving as if the whole world was back in the 17th century.  And they want us to VALIDATE their frikken delusions.  Not on, Brainless, not on.

We are NOT in the 17th century. Muslims should not compare today to the 17th century. Nor should you, eyewateringly stupid big girl's blouse.


Islam is NOT the horizon of what is permitted, of what is thinkable, what is acceptable.

Islam is a horrible creed and this must not be allowed to go unremarked at any time. Every time Islam is mentioned its horrors and unacceptable aspects must also be mentioned.

Islam is unacceptable as a creed. Islam is not a conjunction against what can be said.  It is open to ridicule and denigration just like any other ideology or religion.

I'm not talking about what you consider is or isn't racism in this case - I'm asking specifically about why you think calling moses' statement 'racist' - his outrageous, bigoted and offensive statement about muslims, cheapens the experience of victims of "real" racism. Its one thing to say one bigoted statement is racist while another is not - its a whole other to claim that doing so somehow "cheapens" the victims of the "real" racism.

Which is why I asked at the very beginning about what, if any, form of bigotry you would call moses' statement - if not racist. What I was trying to get at is whether or not you are suggesting moses' statement is any more 'acceptable' than "real" racism, or whether in fact you consider it hate speech that is just as dangerous as "real" racism. And this talk about "cheapening" victims of racism seems to suggest that you may indeed consider it somehow, shall we say 'less serious' than "real" racism.

It would have been a good discussion. Unfortunately you just huffed and puffed about me "negotiating down" or some such nonsense. Shame.





People are angry and frustrated about Muslims, Gandalf. Had enough of the special pleading, the 'tiny minority/vast majority' pap year in year out as Muslims drive trucks into Western crowds, torture and murder concert goers, behead off-duty soldiers, etc, etc.
Every time there is a Muslim outrage the biggest noise you hear from Muslim is 'nuffin' to do wiv us' and then almost immediately the victimhood drive is on. Muslims cause the mayhem yet they are immediately pleading victim status.

Everyone has seen through that, has had enough of it. If the Muslims can claim collective victim status then they can also be collectively denounced, called imbeciles and arsecovering opportunists. Balance.

No Westerner is driving trucks into Muslim crows, Gandalf. No Westerner is bursting into a Muslim gathering in Paris or Sydney or London and torture and execute innocent Muslims. Stop the faux outrage and victim-pleading. You are very, very privileged and protected as a Muslim in the West.

Turn your attention to your coreligionists who are sending your reputation down the toilet every day. Westerners are peeved and call you names?? Aren't you HUGELY lucky compared to the Western victims of your coreligionists?



Yes, old boy, but never forget that people are frustrated with the tinted races too. For heaven's sake, they come here and put up billboards of all things. As if they can preach to us.

Yet another example of correlation not causation, I'm afraid. Inferior culture. These people bring it upon themselves.

How very convenient. You now have a moral justification for your racism. For it is racism, even FD has agreed that you are racist against muslims.

In any case, most muslims don't claim "collective victim status" with ISIS - they condemn them, uncategorically. Thats one of the reasons you mock us - remember?

Sand negro is a race, but his reference to 100% of Muslims obviously excludes the possibility he was referring to racial subgroup of Muslims.


You are talking complete nonsense. Sand negro is not a 'race' - its a made up word. It can be, and has been, referred to any 'muslim looking' person from Afghanistan to Iraq to the Berbers of North Africa. All completely different "races" in your book.

Presumably you can't therefore claim the statement '100% of muslims are sand negroes' is racist. Correct? We simply need to apply your own logic - and conclude that "reference to 100% of Muslims obviously excludes the possibility he was referring to racial subgroup of Muslims"

And yet previously you asserted exactly that - that 'all muslims are sand negroes' is racist. Can you explain this gaping contradiction in your own argument?

Quote:
Because people choose to be Muslims. They don't choose to be black. If you adopt a regressive creed like Islam, people are going to say disparaging things about you, just like if you decide to be a communist or Greens supporter or a Nazi. Sometimes they might even gets the facts wrong. Shock, horror. You suck that up.


So just to clarify here FD - if a normal law-abiding, peace-loving muslim, who integrates into western society and has never killed anyone is referred to as a low intellect due to inbreeding who goes around killing people - thats somehow not as bad as calling the same person a "sand negro"? Just because being born a "sand negro" (which remember, is a made up word) is not a choice - even though being born with low intellect due to inbreeding is also not a choice?

Is it sinking in yet that my beef with moses' statement does not have anything to do with the choice of being a muslim, but rather his broad-stroking regarding what is inherent in being born muslim? And that just like 'sand negro' is a derogatory claim about what a person is 'born as'- so to is inbred-related low intellect?

Quote:
Were you lying about whether you consider it racism to get me to comment on this?


Think about how stupid this question is FD. I assert its racism, you disagree, so I follow up with "ok, then what would you describe it as (besides "not racist")" - and that can somehow be twisted into "hmmm - gandalf must be lying about something just to get me to comment on this" Only you could turn such blatant evasion on your part as somehow me lying, or your previous gem - 'negotiating down' or 'backpeddling' on moses' racism.



Quote:
These are your mental contortions Gandalf. You seem to think it is plausible that someone might say pretty much the same thing,


Ah that would be your hilarious BS that "non whites" is "pretty much the same" as "anyone who migrated post 1850" - right? Comedy gold. How many lilly white eastern Europeans, French, Germans - not to mention Irish and Scots have took up residence in England since 1850?


Quote:
but define it a bit more rigorously, without the need for racial superiority as a motive.


Sure, if there is no need for 'racial superiority' as a motive, there is no need to use "non-whites" and "kick out" in the same sentence. It would also be infinitely more logical, as it wouldn't (racistly) ascribe the "problem" of residents without proper claim to heritage exclusively at the feet of non-whites - even though there would be at least as many whites that fit into the same category.

Quote:
Do you really think the people who say these things are going to care about the subtle difference between white and those with British heritage?


Oh FD, subtlety is the last attribute I would ascribe to a racist.

Such 'non-subtleties' as thinking that "non-white" and "everyone who entered England after 1850" is  "pretty much the same". Thats exactly what a racist would say - because its an outrageous broad-stroke of a very large and diverse group. Just sayin....

OF course racists don't care about the subtle differences - no doubt racists would say both, even though in both cases they are thinking only of "non-whites" or "non-[whatever race they identify as]" - and making both specifically as a statement of racial superiority. But thats not to say the statement "anyone who entered after 1850 should be kicked out" can't be said by a non-racist. It can. Its probably less likely, but it its possible . Unlike the exclusively racist statement "all non-whites should be kicked out".

Quote:
If someone suggested that all people of African ancestry from the last few centuries should be kicked out of England for the same reason (because that is their history, not because they are inferior), would you also insist that is not racist?


That is a much better comparison to my "anyone who entered after 1850" example. And yes, it absolutely could be non-racist. And I hope you can understand the difference between this sort of statement and the hopeless broad-stroke statement "all non-whites".
