This shows just how little you know about me.
Apparently, standing up for a disenfranchised group who is the target of a bigoted smear campaign is "relentless backing of all things Muslim." Odd, the only thing I recall doing was 1) saying they should have the unopposed right to build a community center in New York City and 2) saying that misquoting something to denigrate a group is asinine.
This is incorrect. However, we will move past this omission on your behalf.
There are many things that people who are Muslim have done that I disagree with, and I certainly don't revere Muhammad, any more than I do other fictitious religious characters (Zeus, Jesus, Wotan, and all the rest). Why would that make me a "backer?"
Simple.
Your responses are deeply emotive. This is to the point that you actually completely miscomprehended a valid question I posed, to the point of becoming hostile about it.
Again, you are emotive.
As for being a bigot... here's the definition:
intolerant person: somebody with strong opinions, especially on politics, religion, or ethnicity, who refuses to accept different views
Which is why my open, well phrased, and concise questions were followed up with my firm belief that Islam indeed is supposed to be a "religion of peace".
It is also why you are incapable of comprehending the term, "ideology".
Simply because you could not calm your temper down, you raged like a child in response to some pretty non-offensive questions in a very bigoted manner.\
Just sayin...
How do you NOT meet that? I can certainly dig through your past posts and show you every place you've acted that way, but that would be flogging a dead equine at this point.
It would be proving you wrong.
That's why you are not inclined to do it.
Your grammatical skill level exists regardless of my own critique of it. The fact is, I simply used your words with certain key substitutions. To do so, I copied and pasted your own post, which had its fair share of grammatical mistakes. Rather than accepting that maybe, just maybe, you had made grammatical errors, you got pissy and started attacking me for simply NOTING that all grammatical mistakes were inherent to the source.
You're intimidated. Therefore you rage about grammar as if it were in any way, shape, or form a valid point of contention in our conversations.
I have seen you do this several times, and frankly you should be emberassed. Do you really believe that everybody on this forum should be a master in all forms and dialects of any language we choose to speak in? Are you so pompous that you believe you are the culmination of all that wonderful in the world of "English"?
Pathetic.
Tawnos, your comments are replete with grammatical errors, typos, and misspellings.
I even replied with a cut and paste from your own commentary, and surprise surprise, you had no witty replies for your errors.
Let's start with something simple: it's not called "Sharias" law, but
Sharia law. If you can't get that very basic thing right, how can I trust any other point you make?
By not being a pompous ass and realizing that minor grammatical mistakes occur.
How do you even put your fingers to the keyboard and reply without this type of pompousness to 3/4 of the replies on this forum.
I don't know about you Tawnos, but I do not feel a compelling urge to denigrate any user on this forum based on their grammatic errors.
You misspelled a ton in your replies in another thread, but unlike you, I didn't feel the need to point it out more than once. That one time, because you needed to be swiftly kicked off your imaginary throne of superiority.
Want to know the worst irony of this whole thing? You asked if there are "Any public outreach programs?" That is the core reason for Park51, which is meant to be an interfaith community center.
Can you cite that the purpose for this center is to be a community outreach center specifically built for the purpose of spreading the true, peaceful message of Allah, as opposed to a symbol of victory over American life, as is believed via "ideology", by most of those who are not familiar with the Islamic faith?
Additionally, you seem to have conveniently ignored links I've given where Muslims have been
outraged and
saddened by the things done in the name of their religion,
condemning the acts of terrorists.
I was thankful for the links, and did in fact read them. Thank you for sharing them.
Of course, you could have found this yourself, but instead chose to continue perpetrating the divisive view that they are "others" who lack the decency to despise terrorism.
I am amazed at your lack of intuition, and lack of any sort of reasoning process.
Tawnos. Here is a protip for you.
Stop with the suppositions. How's that sound?
The purpose for my post was to create a template for those on this forum, or other visitors, to see a thread already addressing some of their misplaced, or ill-conceived concerns.
In the same way we bring awareness to the site in the form of thoughtful posts, asking the difficult questions, to further the cause of OC, so too can we further the educational efforts of those who are misinformed, confused, or otherwise harboring any sort of misplaced feelings towards an otherwise peaceful group.
We do this by addressing the common questions.
I am very sorry you do not understand this.
I guess if you don't interact with Muslims every day in your life (along with diverse other worldviews), it's easy to be ignorant to them as PEOPLE. And really, that's all we all are in the end: humans dealing with human problems using human solutions. Why we continue to engage in this tribalistic bullshiat I cannot fathom, but it seems you're more than willing to continue the fight. What end do you hope to gain by holding such disdain?
Hopefully to correct your completely inappropriate, and inaccurate view of myself, while simultaneously educating you as to how pompous a lot of your replies are.
Now, while you're egregiously assessing the level of my bigotry, I am off to serve my clients.
A large portion of which have names like "Mohammed", or "Aabil".
Have fun with your poster bashing.
