Every day, we hear from Conservative Christians vile anti gay rhetoric This very well could have been done by some rabid "family values" nut We may have had one in Los Angeles Authorities on Sunday were trying to determine the intentions of a Indiana man with a cache of weapons, ammunition and explosive-making materials in his car and apparent plans to attend the L.A. Pride festival in West Hollywood. Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said on Twitter that the suspect told one of her officers after he was arrested that he wanted “to harm Gay Pride event.” But she did not provide any details, and officials said they are still trying to sort out his motives. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-gay-pride-la-weapons-20160612-snap-story.html b]White and Non Muslim [/b]

I disagree my friend - you have an entire religion that is like the westboro baptist church, only they market themselves differently. Orlando might be homo hatred, but 10 of their counties do not flog you or stone you to death if you are a homosexual. Its okay to criticize - you cannot be racist towards a religion - despite what the left has told you. |

The difference of course being that owning a gun isn't a religion. A religion that has a tendency to be racist, sexist and incite violence. Edited by estonianman, Jun 13 2016, 01:48 PM.

Since guns have no feeling, I have to ask what the gun owner feelings are...cause they can be the answer to how things go. |

How many times since 9/11 – when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by radical Muslims – have we asked each other where the moderate Muslims are? Where are the imams denouncing the violence committed in the name of Islam? We asked the same after the attacks on the Little Rock recruiting office, after Fort Hood, after the Islamic State group beheadings of Americans overseas. After the Boston Marathon bombing and Mumbai and Madrid and London and Paris. After San Bernardino. You'd never know it from the media, but Muslim leaders have denounced terrorism committed in the name of Islam over and over again. Apparently covering terrorist attacks drives more ratings than reporting on press conferences afterward – so the media doesn't bother. It's not surprising that many Americans have come to believe that perhaps there just are no moderate Muslims. http://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2015-12-18/yes-moderate-muslims-do-denounce-terrorism-though-the-media-ignores-it |

In both cases absolutely. In the case of Muslims however - the minority is only amongst assimilated muslims. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/07/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/ |

So... Unassimilated Muslims are not law abiding then? The non-drinkers? |

I would say the fundamental requirement is accepting western classical liberalism which has to happen with Muslim because the cultures they are coming from are in direct conflict with it. A pocket of isolated Swedes in Minneapolis isn't a problem - a pocket of Somalis that taunt rape threats and incite violence is. The patriarchy (for example) is common and legislated in the middle east. In western democracies it is rejected because it is in direct conflict with our culture - that is classical liberalism.

Tell me Esto, what about the white folks who do not accept the notions of acceptable behavior? Do they get tossed out as well? What about other religions which do not conform? Do you hold the same view for any and all other religions, ethnic groups, cultures, individuals, etc. that may hold 'regressive' views? Yes or no, no dancing around. |
