In Pakistan, Christianity Earns a Death Sentence

[Jenn! 918]

Let's have a separate "I claim to understand the difference between terrorists and Muslims, but everything I say indicates otherwise and I do think that Islam is an inherently violent religion while other faiths are not"* forum.

*I was going to call it a "muslim-bashing" forum, but CLEARLY that would be a misnomer now, wouldn't it?

The stigma is similar, paul. Not hard to understand.

apples and oranges.

There's a stigma yes, but for very different reasons...

Blacks were a product as being treated as lesser humans who had to be understood as being equals.

Muslims are equal, but committ horrible atrocities day after day....

But, have no fear, enjoy your ignorance and sophomoric views. The mods are silent, and, thereby, in league with you.

No, the stigma is arises from the perception that blacks are responsible for most crimes.

Reports about blatant violations of the TOS go unanswered. That is not asking for vigilance, just responsiveness.

You mean disproportionally responsible with their numbers compared to the general population.

You mean that isn't so and we're locking up jaywalkers and white guys with better lawyers?

The perception applied to all blacks (and all muslims) by ignorant people is the issue, Dave. Not difficult to understand... unless you choose to be pedantic

The ignorance is created by the media.

When most of the population gets 99% of their news from today's media, of course this is the perception....

Sure, it's willful ignorance, but the mind accepts usually only what it sees... People are generally simple like this.

That's a cop-out.

come on Charles - reporting things like this does nothing. you know that. VJ is very tolerant of bigoted opinions.

[ready4ONE 5,400]

So it's ok to make blanket generalisations about muslims, is it?

No. You should stop with the blanket generalizations regarding the scope of comments regarding very specific groups of Muslims if blanket generalizations bother you though. Up to you however.

Since you get away with TOS violations willy nilly it is hard to take your complaint here seriously. Why support censorship if the powers that be allow give and take in this forum?

Seems to me you think only 'right thinkers' defined as those who agree with you, defined by you, should be allowed to post. That is just sad.

It is as easy as not reading a thread or post you don't care for to avoid being offended. The power is yours to jump in or not.

Those comments are not as "specific" as you seem to think they are.
