Of course its true, especially about the Crusades.
Check this out, this is why dates are important.

Yeah man. That's AWESOME. It's the US fault that Muslim extremists butcher children in Indonesia. Of COURSE it is.

According to some, thats a majority.
I laughed out loud literally when I read the '45' ways muslims are taking a stand against fundamentalist extremists.
That **** is as pathetic and impotent as holding a sign saying "#bringbackourgirls"
Hatuey, you're just at fault here for generalization as those who claim all Muslims are terrorists because of the actions of some Muslims.
Sure this person who saved lives in the Jewish supermarket is a hero just as much as the Muslim police officer who was brutally executed while on duty at the Charlie Hebdo offices - but that says nothing about Muslims in general, just like the actions of the thugs doesn't say anything about the general world's population of Muslims.
One can never take a single person and reflect his values on an entire community he belongs to, and it doesn't matter if the reflected values are positive values or negative values. That's generalization, and generalization is always
You've got "Muslim friends" wow, does this make you a "Muslim" expert? Or is it more in line with a guy being called a racist saying " I have a black friend"? Also are you claiming to have your finger on the pluse of the Muslim community?
You made the claim that Hamas is lying so you prove they lied. Come on, Im waiting.Are you seriously asking why would a fanatic, radical terror organization lie about its intentions?
Seriously, what the ****.
So you accuse me of making a strawman and yet you do one yourself. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. :roll:I didn't 'get personal' mate I've referred to your positions which are clearly pro-Islamic-terror as you are defending two of the most vile Islamic terror organizations out there - Hamas and Hezbollah - by claiming that their actions, the murders of innocent Jewish civilians in Israel and globally for being Jewish, aren't acts of terrorism or aren't even 'coldblooded murders'. So there's simply no difference between you and the people who support the terror attacks in Paris. That's reality, deal with it.
Where did we stick our noses, prior to 9/11?
Really? So youre saying its okay to bash and discriminate against Muslims then? Funny, when someone is racist towards Jews they are called anti-Semitic but being racist towards Muslims is OK in your books. :roll:Islam isn't a race, so puh-leeeese stop with the accusations of racism.
That would be true if I showed them to be only examples of Muslims around the world acting in the fact of terrorism. You can continue to lie about what my post said but it won't change anything. :shrug:

And no I never supported the terror attack in Paris. Youre a liar, just as always. Thanks for proving me right.
You opened your post in the OP with: "The myth that Muslims simply stand idle as terrorism attacks happen is nonsense.".
You've given the OP as an example for how Muslims are like this and that.
You've generalized the same way those who claim all Muslims are terrorists do.
One is a positive generalization, the other a negative one. Yet both are generalizations.
Calling someone a liar is quite the pathetic argument I hope you'd agree.
Plenty. Troops in Saudi Arabia, Somalia and meddling in other places like Iraq, we've been doing it for years and a backlash was coming.

That is a true statement.
As well as other examples. See posts #1, #4 and #10.
Continuing to lie doesn't help your case.
Well BO says america isn't a christian nation so I'm not really sure who is doing things in the name of Christianity?? What exactly is being done in the name of Christianity with my tax dollars? The feds do a lot of things with my money that I absolutely don't agree with, but in the name of Christ?? I don't see it.

The myth that Muslims simply stand idle as terrorism attacks happen is nonsense. Muslim police officers and firefighters helped during 9/11. Muslim nurses healed the victims of the Boston bombings. Muslims risk their lives every single day fighting terrorism. Millions more demonstrate against terrorism. Many more denounce attempts to radicalize them. Why people still push the bull**** lie that Muslims "are silent" while these attacks are going on is beyond me. It may be genuine run of the mill ignorance. However, when some of the people doing it are self admitted Islamophobes, one can't help but think that there is something far more sinister behind their words.
The first step towards admitting a problem...
You can list 200 examples it wouldn't make your generalization correct.
Just as people who claim all Muslims are terrorists can list dozens of thousands of examples yet they will not be correct.
So I take it that you are in disagreement and that you are actually under the belief that claiming my words are lies is a satisfying argument on your side.
Sad really.
Keep holding your big lying belly. Im still waiting for you to prove that Hamas lied on that.Hilarious. I'm literally holding my belly right now.
I said you accused me of making a strawman. Read what I wrote again.Glad to see you admitting to the strawman.
You claim I didnt support it but then you said its just "like support"? Youre not fooling anybody with your lies. Keep digging that hole, like you always do.And I didn't claim you have supported the terror attacks in Paris, don't be ridiculous, I said your support for Hamas and Hezbollah is just like the people who support the terror attacks in Paris - that there is no difference between one support for terror and another.
Judaism is a religion for there are many blue eyed, blond Jews ( I know one very well from NYC) so for you trying to claim that between racism against Jews or Muslims is different is just another sad and desperate move on your part.Just a quick note; Jewish is an ethnicity, part of the Semite race, hence attacks on Jews are usually racism.
Islam is a religion, not a race. If people were to make a racist claim regarding Arabs or Persians for example, now that would clearly be racist.
There is no American action done in the "name of Christianity" or the name of Jesus. This is not a religious war to us. Maybe it is to a portion of Muslim extremists, but over here, it's a secular issue. This country is not a "Christian nation". The majority of citizens may be Christian, but we don't live in a theocracy, and we aren't fighting terrorism on the basis of religious ideology.
The likes for this post are certainly overwhelming. Nevertheless to take an example of one employee doing the right thing, and extrapolating that into millions and millions and millions of Muslims fighting off terrorism is absolutely ridiculous. And there is nothing sinister about see that given the lack of facts to support it. Sure I wish millions and millions of Muslims were doing the right thing, but there's no proof of that.
Your ignorance is not really something to put on display.

Condemnations, fatwas, conferences, petitions, demonstrations, jihads etc against terrorism. All from different countries, all from this decade and the last. Continuing to perpetuate a lie at this point seems par for the course for the islamophobes.
Continuing to lie will not help you.
The problem with your claim is that my statements aren't based on incidents of terrorism attacks. My examples are based on statistical evidence regarding Muslim opinion as well as Muslim actions. Keep trying?
Lmao, that strategy may work in the M/E forum, but it doesn't work here. Your statements are lies because they're not even trying to determine whether the evidence I have provided is sufficient. They're looking at it from the point of "Oh! It's just a few Muslims", when in reality, it's hundreds of millions holding the discussions on radical Islam as well whether they oppose it or not. The evidence shows that the majority simply don't. That you continue to ignore this is your problem. Not mine. :shrug:

Muslim Brotherhood? Really? Nothing extreme about them. I think I've seen more Muslums burning American flags than are on your link. And that list is hardly in the millions.
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist movement, at least not currently. But the move by the military-led government to ban it from politics and declare it a “terrorist organization” may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The announcement followed a car bombing outside a government security building in Mansoura on Dec. 24 that killed at least 15 people; the government blamed the Brotherhood. Now, Brotherhood members and donors risk prosecution and imprisonment, and the ban is potentially crippling to the vast network of schools, clinics and other social services the Brotherhood runs and to the poor Egyptians who have long relied on them. Dozens of Brotherhood members have died in recent weeks in street protests, and the movement is reportedly reestablishing a clandestine infrastructure — learning, again, how to survive in the face of a government onslaught.

No but your "liar liar" argument certainly would, and does, help me illustrate the stupidity of your claims by showing that they are backed with childish arguments. Do continue.
That doesn't mean all Muslims are this and that.
This is no strategy, only pure logic mate. Something that you're clearly lacking if you are under the belief that showing some examples for a certain behavior among a group of people implies they all possess this certain behavior.
My issue is not with the claim that the majority of Muslims is this and that
, you may claim that as long as you wish to, but that you have decided to open your post with the statement "The myth that Muslims simply stand idle as terrorism attacks happen is nonsense." means you've been generalizing an entire group of people over this example, no different from those who do so negatively. How is that too hard to understand?
:lamoYou still lying about the examples I presented? Good. I wouldn't actually expect you to discuss anything other than the few bits of cherry picked information you want to believe. Tell us again how every single poll in the Muslim world showing a general opposition to terrorism equals "45 examples".
