re: #74 Jolo5309

You know, when I look at all these things, the common thread I see is that extremists are the issue.

You know, fundamentalists. The folks who think you really are going to hell for not believing in their ONE TRUE RELIGION and are willing to trample all over your rights just to make sure that THEIR VISION of the world is fulfilled and we all abide by it.

But you choose to focus on the religion and not the environment that nutures fundamentalism or the power structures that enable them, and pretend that’s the problem, that there is something special that makes these extremists so much worse than any other extremist groups we’ve seen in the past, and then you get mad when people call you on your bullshit and bigotry. Because it is bigotry to look at a Christian extremist and say that the issue is that they’re an extremist but to look at a Muslim extremist and say that the issue is that they’re Muslim.

So go ahead, please, continue to try to excuse your bigotry. I’m going to worry about fundamentalists of all religions without claiming that any one religion has a particular problem.
