While I don't particularly like the term "Islamophobia" for bigotry against Muslims (or against people presumed to be Muslims), it does seem to fit the bill in this racist triple murder: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/chapel-hill-shooting-cr...
If the murderous arsehole just had an animus towards "theists", there was certainly no shortage of Christian churches in his part of the world.

Quote:
I always find it interesting that people and groups like this behave the way they do and think they are sending a positive message about their own religion. The irony in this situation is that the Muslims there for their celebration were doing a much better job of representing what is right about our values and what we all believe religion should do for people than those ugly protesters who were making it very clear what they had in their hearts was nothing more than hate and ignorance.

Fox "news" might as well have pulled the trigger. Their nearly daily dose of anti-Muslim diatribe and fear mongering makes them today's Der Sturmer.

That's your opinion.

Mr. Magoo
And it's your opinion that it's my opinion. And, to be fair, my opinion that it's your opinion that it's my opinion.
Glad we can be transparent about this.

Obviously secularism needs the equivalent of a pope. If elected, I promise the the secular equivalent of the Inquisition.

bagkitty, can I be the antipope? (or antipapess). We need a Great Schism.
Secular religion is at most a metaphor. And secular doesn't even necessarily mean atheist. It refers to the strict separation of religious authority (often called "Church" in predominantly Christian societies) and government, or state, and the neutrality of the state.
I don't think the "excesses" of secularism derive from secularism at all, but from authoritarianism. Stalinism, of course (and the extreme of Albania's outlawing of religion), but also the way secularism and modernization was enforced, for examply in Turkey. Though modernization has been enforced elsewhere, without secularism, as in Russia under Peter the Great.
And I do favour a type of secular charter here in Québec, but such a charter would have to attack the privileges of the Catholic Church (and of established Protestant ones) first and foremost. Such as removing the crucifix from the National Assembly, but more important, no funding of any private schools, including religion-based schools.

Indeed. I let that one pass (and thought perhaps it might), but if anyone thinks there aren't cult and control equivalents in non-religious thinking, they might want to look a bit more at the evidence they claim to worship.

Sorry Magoo but Vegan Meatballs
Muslim? Arab? Potato - batatta
US freezes Chicago Palestinian leader’s bank accounts
Your [well, Their"] Taxes Fund Anti-Muslim Hatred
This is how they justify their wars in these Arab countries
Robed Muslim clerics kicked off U.S. flight after pilot refuses to take off with them (and they were en route to conference on Islamophobia)
It goes a lot deeper than that, as the roots of this racism go back to the days of guys like Baldwin and Bohemond.
Bin Laden and the Palestinians
Yes but the Islamaphobia manufactures public consent for the wars.
I don't disagree; your point seems fairly obvious. I'm just saying that these Islamophobes are tapping into a long-standing and possibly deeply-held prejudice in our western culture. It's the same type of deeply-rooted prejudice that Hitler used against the Jews.
What would the reaction be among anti-western Muslims if they knew that Usamah bin Laden was not killed a few days ago? What if they knew he is alive and being tortured for information after which he would be killed days or months later?
I think Usamah is alive and being tortured a little while before an unofficial execution takes place. No one could prove otherwise. The US Military Government does not operate on the basis of transparency or accountability to the public.
Who the fuck cares Fidel, Islamaphobia is real and SEEN, unlike Elvis bin laden or whatever. We still wouldn't know how muslims feel because no one gives a fuck enough to investigate.
You need to hone your skills better on which threads to disrupt. You do a disservice to the NDP at times with your crossovers into international affairs. Stick to the national, you're NAILS!
Yes, first we killed the Aboriginals, and then we killed everyone else and now it is the Arabs turn.

NDPP, you've been warned repeatedly about posting anti-Semitic material on this site. That includes any articles which speculate or imply that Zionist Jews control the American media. I've removed your post and the follow up posts, which will be my practice from now on should you continue to accidentally post anti-Semitic material. If it becomes to look less like an accident, you will no longer be given the benefit of the doubt.
You are not entirely wrong, RevolutionPlease. The American military government surely does want you to fear and loathe Muslims.
But in reality the [url=U.S">http://letsibeledmondsspeak.blogspot.ca/2008/07/court-documents-shed-lig.... military government ♥'s militant Islam.[/url]
The posting was entirely legitimate and should not have been removed.
Yeah come on Catchfire, its Presstv (Iranian state news) not FOX news... how could they possibly be wrong?
I missed the whole "Zionist Jews control the American media" thing... I must have been laughing too hard at his 9-11 conspiricy stuff.
Elvis bin Laden denied any and all involvement in the 9/11 inside job.
And as a result of the incredulous 9/11 Commission cover-up, somewhere less than half the people surveyed around the world believe "Al-Qaeda" was responsible.
The commision's slip-shod report missing important facts and eye witness accounts has been compared to the allied forces allowing the former Nazis to conduct the Nuremberg trials. Not only were they not going to find themelves guilty, none of themselves were even held accountable. And that's because they were planning to frame-up their own anti-communist jihadi mercenaries criss-crossing in and out of the U.S. with impunity since the 1980's.
If you are a proven anti-communist, then you are welcomed with open arms policies in the USA. Just ask Louis Posada Carriles and a parade of anti-Cuban terrorists provided sanctuary in America long time.
British SAS and the Navy Seals should storm the beaches of Florida and California because they would find terrorists and former Latin American dictators aplenty.
I intensely dislike the comment sections and content of many of the western MSM links that proliferate here relating to various oppressed communities, and I can't imagine how traumatizing it must be for survivors of this system to read that its all their fault, and that they're either lazy, looking for attention, not looking in the mirror at themselves or what not. I have a list of these sites prepared that I'd like to submit for the purposes of exclusion from the board.
Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds says King of the Madrasas has been taking over U.S. taxpayer-funded charter schools.
The U.S. Government loves militant Islam in schools and scaring hell out of Americans and especially so since 9/11.
We should all be more like Uncle Sam and his puppets in Ottawa - we should embrace militant Islam with both arms and love it all the time.
The whole problem started when the Soviets ceded the cold war. It was like being stabbed in the backs for our cold warriors and the bipartisan war parties. They needed a new and legitimate enemy to justify trillion-dollar coporate welfare handouts to a few thousand private military contractors every year on-time, and so they created "Al Qa'eda", the invisible army of darkness which doth not now nor hath it ever existed.
We seem to have a preference here for our own daily vulgarity over that of publications originating elsewhere.
Obama campaign brags about its whistleblower persecutions(September)
And it all began well before the infamous Reichstag fire on 9/11/01 leading to herr Bushler's enabling act and attacks on American civil liberties. Bill Clinton's pro KLA/pro Qaeda regime was insisting on wiretap provisioning for all telecommunications equipment manufactured in the U.S. and Canada as early as the 1990's and on the quiet. The military dictatorship running America has been spying on the lives of millions of Americans for a long time while, and at the same time, allowing known anti-communist terrorists and Saudi, Pakistani and Egyptian mercenaries for-hire to criss-cross in and out of the USA at will and with impunity for many years before 9/11/01.
The 9/11 hijackers and terrorists were all trained in America and Europe by the U.S. Military, British SAS, German BND and so on. It's enough to make Americans sick to their stomachs if only they knew. How the U.S. Military regime protected Mohammed Atta
We can only presume that the morans in charge love militant Islam. Best friends forever!
Islamophobia: A Bipartisan Project
The difference is that liberals will at least admit there are a few good Muslims before perpetrating mass murder for sport and profit. Republicans don't care who they insult before doing the same.
Iran Leader Message Compliments Imam Khomeini's Letter to Gorbachev
http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/02/05/396337/Leader-message-complemen...
"Veteran Iranian politician Mohammed Javad Larijani says a message by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameini addressed to the Western youth, complements a 1989 letter written by late Imam Khomeini to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
'We are not calling to the Westerners to convert to Islam. We just want them to compare Islam with their self-proclaimed secular-liberal religion regardless of propaganda,' said Larijanie..."
