I have a problem with extreme Islamists.

Why don't you?

Oh, I know. You think the extreme Islamists in Palestine speak for all the people, as if all Muslim Palestinians are the same and enjoy being persecuted by their extreme leadership. Did you ever consider that there are many moderate/secular Palestinians against resistance who have a problem with your support of the extremists violating their rights?

What about them? Do they count in your view? Do you side more with the extremists than them?

If you can't figure it out, I certainly can't help you. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #4

More than articles about beauty queens. Scootaloo Apr 2013 #5

Which means nothiing in the great scheme of things R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2013 #7

are you denying that Islam or what are claimed as offcial practices of Islam azurnoir Apr 2013 #8

You are denying it, to her question? Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #11

why? n/t azurnoir Apr 2013 #12

It's telling that you never condemn Islamophobia... Violet_Crumble Apr 2013 #13

I agreed and that's why the Jewish group should merge with IP King_David Apr 2013 #15

There are a great number of posters here who have a problem with religion period. Mosby Apr 2013 #20

Well - to be fair, a lot of articles about antisemitism in Europe/America also end up here. LeftishBrit Apr 2013 #10

What did this OP you posted about Muslims and Jews in the UK have to do with the IP group? Violet_Crumble Apr 2013 #14

those two terrorists are Jihadists. Mosby Apr 2013 #16

is this the kind of negative reporting the author is talking about? Mosby Apr 2013 #17

Thanks for making clear where you stand..not many posters would be that frank as Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #18

actually that article was an LBN thread azurnoir Apr 2013 #19

Thank you, and it does just that. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #21

the discussion there progressed a bit differently azurnoir Apr 2013 #23

Usually when we take a story from elesewhere on DU it is polite to give credit for that n/t azurnoir Apr 2013 #22

I didn't find the story via DU. Mosby Apr 2013 #25

Really it's LBN n/t azurnoir Apr 2013 #26

Islam has an image problem Mosby Apr 2013 #24

Clarify for me, if you would. Your remark, Since our host is going to allow religion threads in IP.. Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #27

I alerted on your OP pretty soon after you posted it. Mosby Apr 2013 #28

I wanted to be clear about the communication you had with the host here. Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #29

nope, no communication Mosby Apr 2013 #30

It was a confirmation I was looking for, if it was considered about religion by the host. Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #31

Judaism has an image problem delrem Apr 2013 #58

your change to my post is silly. Mosby Apr 2013 #60

You can dish the prejudice out, but can't take the identical thing. nt delrem Apr 2013 #67

Freedom of Expression, Multiculturalism and Political Islam shira Apr 2013 #32

You have no idea what she is about, do you, shira. You had thought her opinions Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #33

Of course I do. I keep up with her work, you don't. She's your worst nightmare. shira Apr 2013 #36

That's not surprising you'd keep up with her, lol. Pamela Geller does too. Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #44

Yeah, and David Duke keeps up w/ your favorite sources... shira Apr 2013 #46

Oh this is rich, shira defending Muslims. The OP is about Western media bias, not religion. Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #47

Maryam Namazie does, so your ad-hominems are crap.... shira Apr 2013 #49

I know what you have a problem with, shira. It is evident in everyone of your posts and Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #51

You don't distinguish b/w extreme Islamists & moderate Muslims. WHY? n/t shira Apr 2013 #69

Namazie claims to be a atheist azurnoir Apr 2013 #38

She's admittedly a communist/marxist & proud of it. n/t shira Apr 2013 #40

You may find this interesting if you haven't already read it: Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #45

You should criticize what she says, rather than attack the person. shira Apr 2013 #48

There are no lies here, shira. If you read the article, you'd know that...but that is not what Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #53

The lie is that there's no distinction to be made b/w extreme Islamists and moderate Muslims. n/t shira Apr 2013 #70

Another negative piece about Muslims Mosby Apr 2013 #34

"Why don't moderate and liberal Muslims speak out about stuff like this?" where have I read that b4? azurnoir Apr 2013 #35

this smear tactic of yours is lame. Mosby Apr 2013 #37

yep I told about what "real liberal' values should include in Meta azurnoir Apr 2013 #39

do you consider paralysis acceptable punishment? Mosby Apr 2013 #41

No of course not azurnoir Apr 2013 #42

No, I think I was pretty clear about fundies Mosby Apr 2013 #43

I think we have a good example of what is considered acceptable to write about Muslims on DU azurnoir Apr 2013 #50

Indeed. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2013 #52

That's strange , King_David Apr 2013 #54

so you think SA is the same as Nazi Germeny or just where Israel is involved? azurnoir Apr 2013 #59

Who compared them to Nazis King_David Apr 2013 #61

the OP in question started out of the gate with that azurnoir Apr 2013 #62

Quote a comparison of Nazis to Muslims nt King_David Apr 2013 #63

I just added it :) azurnoir Apr 2013 #64

Yes the BDS movement King_David Apr 2013 #65
