re: #271 sattv4u2

Not at all

Not when someone who happens to be Islamic/Christian/Swedish/Albino/Heterosexual/Left Handed/ uses that distinction to BE a scum

i.e.,, al Qaeda branch issued a personal threat against her

Do you think they’re talking about a Mormon Al Qaeda branch that threatened her?

If you use “Islamic” to modify the noun “scum”, you’re implying that all followers of Islam are scum, whether you intend to or not.

I wouldn’t have a problem if it were restricted to, say, jihadis.
