I bet we can agree that racism is hurtful and wrong (Moved from American Politics)

[Speedwell]

Well, it IS a violent, barbaric religion, so why is it "racist" to say so?

Like that one.

In any case, Islam is not a race, it's a religion adhered to by people of many races, including the white race.

You don't think such a statement is offensive and hurtful to Muslims, particularly those peacefully going about their lives?

 

[USincognito]

One of the most destructive things some people are beginning to do is to label ANYTHING they happen to disagree with, "racist."

On par with dismissing racism because "everything is racist to those people"

 

[USincognito]

Yes it is racism. If there supervisor was African American, would they have accused them of racial discrimination?

Did you read the Xerox post above?

A hyperbolic opinion piece title is your evidence? lol

 

[USincognito]

This gets so twisted sometimes....... Is a Black man in Africa being "racist" when he sells another black man as a slave to a white man on a boat? Or is that just being enterprising?

The light skinned Berber people, the Tuareg, have been subject to racist attacks and discrimination by blacks in Mali.

You would have a point. Except Christians were violent and harmed millions of people.So you should say the same for Christians.

Why do you bring up the violent history of christianity when we are talking about islamophobia?

it is not. satan disguise himself as angel of light, not a angel of hate an violence.

Why wouldn't I. People on a Christian board can say Islam is bad. But their relegion has a horrible pass. So I don't see the right to criticized Islam when your religion isn't the best.

And why do you tell me this? I never said Islam is a bad and violent religion.

Also, the left has very violent history with your logic the left can not call out the right for being violent.

No, there's one group of Muslims (our equivalent of a denomination) that is the cause of the majority of violence in Islam.

Well, to the rest of the world, they are just ONE. Same as a Baptist and a Methodist are just "Christians" to the rest of the world.

It is only the hometown boys who split hairs about the worldly perceptions of either.

how can christianity be a religion of peace when priests burned 40 000 women.

Just a few months ago? I didn't think we were talking about people who have been long since dead, but rather about a current modern-day religion in full-swing, right this very day.

That's hardly a "religious" thing. Deprive any young men of women, and children become targets all over the world in every walk of life.
