re: #105 Radical Rafe

Well, thank you ;-)

But it seems I came to the thread too late (and pissed Charles off too early) to gain an understanding of where the line is drawn, where people can express concerns, fears, and opinions about Islam before they get labeled a “bigot”.

Park 51? No objections from me. Mosque/complex in my neighborhood? Fine, as long as they satisfy their neighbors’ concerns about the cemetery, their well water, etc. So, I don’t *think* I’m a bigot…

But I’ve got thoughts, ideas and concerns (which is what led me discover LGF in the first place) about the advance of Islam in the post 9/11 United States. What words could I put them in here before I’m either banned, blocked or called a bigot?

Your question assumes that there’s some special set of beliefs to which all lizards adhere, and that if you step over the line, we will all call you a bigot. It’s a bit more complicated than that, and most of us have learned to be wary of people who start conversations with, “What am I allowed to say without being called a bigot?” It does inherently assume that you’re going to be called one unfairly if you say what’s on your mind.
