kingpin said:I just cant stand this idea of politically correct war. The military over there has to fight the terrorists and the media at the same time. What happened to old fashioned wars where if we had a problem with some people we just blew em up and rebuild them and made friends. A country can not fight a 1/2 war, its either all or nothing, we either beat them or they find a way to beat us. thats war. What we are trying to do is pinch them until they say uncle. I hate this leftist media showing all the wounded children all the time for shock value. Big deal, people die in war, women kids and the elderly, that is called collateral damage. What i cant stand is that 9/11 wasn't collateral damage, it was the targeting of the innocent intentionally. They can do that, they can kill all the innocent they want, and they are freedom fighters and martyrs. While if we have some collateral damage trying to kill them, not targeting the innocent, targeting them. We are war criminals.
That is BS. We should not only have the leeway for a little collateral damage, we should be able to dictate who can and can not come into the country. Not only for the reasons of national security, but for the security of the Muslims also, because if there is another 9/11 there will be riots and many of the ones living in America will find themselves in bad positions. Which will inevitably lead to people pointing fingers at Americans and the US gov. on how racists America is or whatever. Bottom line is, America isn't the land of opportunity for the rest of the world anymore. America is just another country, like any other, it just has a little more currency to spend. This socialist media crap that says we owe it to the world to support them and should give all this aid for nothing. We have done our share of that in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and many many other places. For all I care the US can sit back in a lazyboy recliner and watch the world destroy itself, because thats all it has to do, sit back and watch.

So if you write these words about Muslims, what is it then?Missouri Mule said:Weren't the London bombers Pakistani in origin? They are not Arabs, are they? I don't get the "racism" charge. What am I missing here?
This is a rather complete definition of racism in the link below. I don't believe that blocking further immigration of Muslims to the United States meets that definition.

Slurs including "camel jockey," "sand nigger" and "terrorist."
That's not racist?

:2rofll: :ws A little paranoid or just feeling guilty down under Mule? Read my post dear friend? I wasn't suggesting that YOU said any of those slurs! DUH!Missouri Mule said:"Terrorist" is a "slur?" Are you out of your ever loving mind?
And BTW, I've never used the term "sand nigger." You're making that up or just outright lying. I can't recall using "camel jockey" but if I did that's a stretch to say it is a slur on Muslims. Camels are widely used in the Middle East. We've even used them in the past during the 1800s by our military in America. A person who rides a camel would be correctly referred to as a "camel jockey." I suppose it might serve you better if such a person would be called a "camel operator." (Like vehicle operator.) Good grief, man, get a life.
No, I am not out of my mind. People, maybe even you use the word Terrorist to describe ALL or MOST Muslims, and in that context it most definitely is a racist term.Missouri Mule said:"Terrorist" is a "slur?" Are you out of your ever loving mind?
Agreed, the problem is largely cultural - both Turkey and Indonesia are relatively free of common support for radical Islamists. But since the terrorists are mostly from Pakistan, Iran and Arab countries, and since they cite the Koran and Islam as the justification for their behavior, it is difficult for us outsiders to separate the two. Would you agree that intensified background checks would necessarily focus more on Muslims than on other religions?TurkSol said:The people that would say yes to that pool pls understand one thing islam is a religon and arabs are a culture ..i am Turkish citizen, my religon is islam but i study in a american university and i guess as u know as well , since a long time we had between the countries good relaxions.anyway if the arab terroriest are doing the attacks on so , why do u not block them only..i mean the people that basically are in the terorist acts..make a background search ..interview he or she will show the real thingking then decide ..but that was to say simply no is totaly racist view...

Agreed, but would you not agree that immigrants from countries where radicalism is rampant will be more closely examined than, say, ethnic Swedes?DevilsAdvocate said:Without digging through the whole thread, I'll just say that it's important to distinguish between Muslims and islamic radicals... It would be a hideous wrong to ban anyone from immigration due to their religious faith, but radicals of all stripe bear further examination.
Agreed completely. Terrorism must never be allowed to become a successful political tactic, and it is Muslims who must protest this defilement of their religion if they are to escape the stain of it.Missouri Mule said:This terrorism throughout the world must end. And there must be no rationalizations; no "root causes" or other excuse mongering. It must end or Muslims will have this problem to deal with forever. That's why I have said this is a Muslim problem. They are the ones who must take the bit in their teeth and deal with it forcefully and put a stop to it.
I disagree when you're speaking of the USA and our Consititution. It IS RACISM when we discriminate purely by nationality, race, color, or religion.kingpin said:frigging camel operators, Its not racism to keep a certain people out of your country, if the majority of the people believe in it, its national sovereignty.
26 X World Champs said::2rofll: :ws A little paranoid or just feeling guilty down under Mule? Read my post dear friend? I wasn't suggesting that YOU said any of those slurs! DUH!
I will dumb it down for anyone who misunderstood what I meant. Those three terms, "camel jockey," "sand nigger" and "terrorist" are commnoly used by RACISTS when they refer to Arabs and/or Muslims the same way that Racists in the USA use terms like "nigger" or "kike" or when someone writes that most young black men are criminals. That too is racism.
In an earlier posts Mule, many posts actually, you keep writing that it is not racist when using slurs against anyone who is a Muslim, you claim it is not racism. You probably will again if you reply to this post.
My post used those three terms, "camel jockey," "sand nigger" and "terrorist" as examples of racism against Muslims & Arabs.
You seemed to also be confused by the word "terrorist" as a racial slur. As a matter of fact you wrote:
No, I am not out of my mind. People, maybe even you use the word Terrorist to describe ALL or MOST Muslims, and in that context it most definitely is a racist term.
So dear boy, perhaps now my last post is clearer to you and if you reread it you will not take it so personally? I must admit I chuckled quite a bit over your explanation of "Camel Jockey". The justification as you wrote it was way cool, explains a lot about you too, you know?
You too, Mr. Mule, are a frickin' genius!

I'd have to say due to the nature of your response you are OBLIGATED to respond, if only for my amusement. And in answer to the question that many of you will ask, the universe does revolve around me. Now DANCE MONKEYS!

:boohoo: How shocking is it that when debated to the point of having to admit they are wrong that the said person allows pride to interfere with the debate?Missouri Mule said:I'm tired of arguing with him. He parses everything I say and eventually it is time to call a halt to the discussion. Trying to argue this subject with him is like trying to argue with a fence post. I have better things to do with my time. If you want to believe this is a "cop-out", go ahead. I don't want to argue with you either.
26 X World Champs said::boohoo: How shocking is it that when debated to the point of having to admit they are wrong that the said person allows pride to interfere with the debate?
Mule, you keep writing that hating Muslims as you do can in no way be considered racism, you said that it is not racism unless you hate someone for being Black or Chinese, but if you hate someone for being Mulsim that is not racism.
I disagree, vehemently. My previous post spells out why I think that people who hate Muslims for being Muslim, namely they hate the religion, they think that the religion itself is evil are racists. You've posted many times how much you hate the Muslim religion. Do you deny writing post after post where you said that Islam is a sick and evil religion with the goal of killing all infidels? We all know that you've written it many times.
So, I think that someone's posts who regularly (or irregularly) write how much they hate the Muslim religion are in fact writing racist and hate filled post. I would feel the same way had someone written equally racist and hate filled posts about any other religion or group of people.
Shall we review? Anyone, IMHO who writes posts that state that the Muslim religion is sick, evil and hell bent on killing anyone who disagrees is a racist. Do you understand Mr. Mule?
