Anti-Semitic Posts V Anti Islam Posts.

[Atheist]

It seems to me that AB has lots of OP's attacking Islam and Muslims in general, but not many OP's attacking Jews.

Anti-semitism seems to be considered shocking, but anti-Islam seems to be considered quite acceptable.

What do you think?

I haven't trawled through most of the answer on here, but to get back to the original question. Perhaps people feel safe to post anti Islam posts on an anonymous site, whereas they would not feel safe to talk freely

True , how many of our right wing abers would post in x . 

[naomi24]

That says more about radical Islam than it says about its critics.  Furthermore, there's an irony in the support for Islam by the left - Islam being probably the most right wing philosophy currently to blight this planet.  It's their way or no way.  Just why does the left support it?

It's not about left and right, is about tolerance and intolerance, "live and let live" versus "live and let die" ...

Tolerant people tolerate intolerant people, to an extent, but it's not mutual, is it?  Intolerant people are, by definition, intolerant.  There's an asymmetric relationship.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" is not the position of an intolerant person ...

Are muslims tolerant of gay people or women who are raped.?

A raped muslim women is not a victim. They are stoned to death.It's all their fault. 

[naomi24]

I quite agree.  It should not be about left and right ... and Islam embraces no such politics anyway. However, it is generally the left that supports it and I never understand why because it's a complete contradiction.   There's no sense in it whatsoever.  

[naomi24]

^That to Ellipsis.

> Are muslims tolerant of gay people or women who are raped.?

Yes, some are. The ones that I know, personally.  Are all Christians tolerant?  What about this chap ...

It's funny, but in the olden days it was the left in Britain who supported jewish people and the middle class right-wingers or Mosley fascists who disdained them. Times change.

Are Christians in this country throwing gays off rooftops and demanding fellow Christians must attend the execution?

[Ellipsis]

Is every Muslim doing that, retro?

[naomi24]

Actually, Ellipsis, it's a bit pathetic to pick out one American nutcase and try to compare that to the Islam's general thoughts on such matters.  You may as well say the barmy  Westboro Baptist Church represents Christianity as a whole.  It doesn't.

No, what's pathetic is your ability to answer the question - are all Muslims terrorists, yes or no?

Ah, but we hadn't got the muslim scourge then!

[Atheist]

davebro, I was talking about jewish people.

[naomi24]

I pointed you to the post that made my answer clear, ellipsis.  Did you not look?  Not to worry.  My answer is no - definitely not.

[Ellipsis]

OK, if not all Muslims are terrorists, then how can you claim "that these terrorists are terrorists because they're Muslim"?  It has to be more to it than the fact that they're Muslims, otherwise all Muslims would be terrorists.

[naomi24]

Wonky logic.  That would be like saying all Catholic priests are Christian, therefore all Christians are priests.

Not excusing this behavior in muslim countries, just answering the question. Yes, in Russia, gay and lesbian folk have been living in fear of their lives for years. They've been disappearing frequently over the years in a way on Russia can disappear people.
