re: #92 The War TARDIS

Really, because I am seeing the stuff the Republicans are saying.

Like my Imam’s grandchild being threatened 2-3 weeks ago. (He got a call saying “I know where your grandkid lives” or something like that.

That’s what has gotten me unusually bent out of shape recently.

And caused a relapse to Norway.

Believe me. I don’t blame you but pogroms. I am not saying I would be shocked by acts of violence against Muslims and believe me I do think anti-Muslim extremism and rhetoric is a serious issue that needs to be looked at but pogroms. We’re talking about actual police forces encouraging and participating in organized violence against Muslims. I am saying I think you can make your point without hyperbole but that’s awful about your imam’s grandson. Legitimate scary crap and I hope I am not coming off as dismissing your fears. I just think a lot needs to happen to cause that.
