I only got through about a third of the video. Following his logic, the majority of any group should be judged by the actions of a small minority. So all Christians are white supremecists, and bigots like the Westboro Baptist Church? All white men are school shooters.... it’s pretty laughable to think that the actions of those three men represent the attitude of the people of Morocco.

Laughable is assessing that this video promotes stereotyping when it begins showing how stereotyping disarmed the victims of their critical thinking skills.
Categorical analysis necessarily invites sub-category.

I was going to point that out but sometimes it's best to just leave it alone.

What was the particular stereotype that disarmed the victims of their critical thinking skills?

That Islam is a religion of peace.
That isn't obvious to you?

But that’s not at all the stereotype of Islam. Quite the opposite.

[Sparagmos]

I don’t know what that is. Is it you yelling or something?

 

[Abraxos]

You saying you view Islam as the religion of war and death and chaos?

Your liberal compadres might wonder if you have Islamophobia.

No, I don’t, but what do my views have to do with the stereotype? As I think you know, liberals often reject stereotypes.

I'm just trying to understand your flip floppy-ish view here. You believe Islam is the opposite of the religion of peace, correct? Therefore your view is Islam is a religion of war, and death and hatred, etc?

Where did I say that? I think the only statement I made about Islam was that I don’t think Islam is “the religion of war and death and chaos.” But way to change the subject...

Well, you tell me what the opposite of the religion of peace is, you bought it up. Seems like you're back peddling now...

When did I say I thought Islam was the opposite of the religion of peace? In what universe does “not X” = “must be the opposite of X”?

I was referring to the stereotype of islam, not my own view. Which I made clear. You’re just trying to pick a fight.

 

[JM]

Yup, I knew it.

Sorry. Been gone fishing.
I get you.
But you don't get to tell me that Islam as peacefull, is not also a stereotype.

Stereotypes are a tool of division which always works like this "both ends against the middle".
That's how leaders and their children never fight in the wars they create. You & I do.

Please don't leap to any conclusions about me or what I do or don't believe when I ask you this: Have you heard anything at all about the theory of Mohammed being selected by the Vatican to unite the several Arab religions into a monotheism that would produce an army strong enough to take Jerusalem?
Just curious how versed you are in this area of conspiracy theory.
You haven't been rudely dismissive despite my tardiness, or the crossfire of confusion. I admire that. Thank you.

It's a false, but politically correct thought construct.
Don't get me wrong, though. I'm far from being critical of Christianity, and I have to say, I don't like the tone of the talking head here. It's pumping anger, even if it's a real issue, so it's counter-productive in my opinion.
