CNN is now talking to a Muslim serviceman who's making a point

[annabanana]

of how severely a taunter was disciplined when he "joked" about the man's religion. I'm hoping this is to try and tamp down some of the violent, bigoted vitriol that's blossoming on facebook about "crusades" and retaliation...

1. Many of the right wing sites are almost beyond belief right now.

2. Muslims - quit complaining & start fingering the nuts in your ranks

IMO they say nothing until it is too late and then they condemn the attack & complain about the hate from others

[Jazzgirl]

3. Then xtians need to start fingering the nuts in their ranks too.

Stupid statement.

9. agreed. but Xtian loons tend to clump in the Republican Party

for ease of identification maybe?



Imagine no religion

4. like the white supremacist Beck loving nuts?

[Bucky]

5. I wish you'd use a different phrase. "Fingering your nuts" should not mean self policing.

Please, let's preserve the integrity of those little islands of joyful repose in the English language.

6. stupid, bigoted remark.

for one thing, its not accurate, many muslims have spoken out against violence. For another, smearing an entire religion is just bigoted.

7. This is not a Muslim problem

Wake up this is a man who should have been booted from the military for extremely poor performance and his failure to do his job. He should have been drummed out and made to pay the money back that he received for his degrees.

It's not always about religion and to use that as an excuse real issues will be missed. I don't sympathize with the shooter at all this guy had too many red flags that were ignored.

8. I boycot CNN and stick with MSNBC

I get a vein in my forehead watching CNN. Thanks for posting this. I wondered if Muslims across America were saying, "oh god, here it comes now" ?

Newsmax has a pic of Obama with a muslim cap on asking yahoo members to vote on Newsmax's health care poll.
