A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

You clearly need to brush up on your research skills. He can't have been talking about that Mecca.

I believe Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, not the United States. So what's your point?

Like Scalia, Slave is mortally opposed to considering foreign or international law when deciding what the US should do in any circumstance.



Oh, wait. I'm confused.

Yeah, well. The second or third time I came across the "exploding belt of nails" comment, I couldn't restrain myself any longer.

My first draft of a response to that post said something like "and if he's a black muslim, he'll probably mug someone and rape a white woman while he's out."

Where did I mention SA? Regardless of Slave's point, I am pointing our that the G-dless immorality of the liberals will be the downfall of our nation, democracy and freedom. It won't be the Saudi's that defeat, it will be the liberals, as agents of the fifth column of al qaeda and RedChina.

You were supporting Slave's remark about Christians not being allowed in Mecca. So, if your post was somecrap about the godless immorality of liberals, then it was lost on me.

I am quite bothered by the sterotypes you throw out like so much grain- AND I am also troubled by Wonk's use of ethnic slurs. How can you two post things like that while calling someone else hateful in the next sentence?

first of all, i did make a quite good point- maybe I'll start annotating my posts- my point was that no other religion would ask for the change. The country is being asked to allow driver's license photos of veiled women, etc for Muslims.

Bullshit.

Jews have asked to wear the yarmulke in places where hats are not allowed -- schools, courtrooms, etc.

Sikhs have asked to wear the traditional turban and the kirpan in places wear head-coverings and weapons are not allowed.

Atheists have asked to have "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. Christians put it in there, in the first place, in order to make atheists (communists) feel excluded from the nation.

Christians have asked to forbid the sale of alcohol on Sunday. To display large crosses on public property. To display the ten commandments in courthouses. To have congressmen swear on a Bible.

Hell -- the list of concessions to their religion that Christians have demanded goes on and on and on; and it is only slightly longer than the list of what Christians have received.



eta: I note that you acknowledged that your point was not accurate. I responded because I think some people think differently.

I illustrated that, in at least one instance, a group of Jewish people choose not to ask for things to be changed to suit them. Adder, that nitwit, mentions his teammate the Mormon. Without intending to, he supports my point also.

of course, the fact is that my point was BS since I'm fairly sure Macabee coaches have asked for a no-Saturday schedule. To be honest, I even offered to call and ask for the special schedule.

given that reality, what is odd isn't that some kid asked- assuming he was refused- what is odd is that it is treated as a story.

And I would say that Slave was probably just a little geeked up by the way the story was spun on the webpage where he probably found it.

Well, you note your self that you were wrong if your point was that other religions wouldn't ask, so I don't need to respond to that.

With respect to your other observations, I don't really think it was news. It may have shown up on one or two hate-monger websites, but that doesn't make it news. And finally, my point is that Slave doesn't need to be geeked up by the way things are spun on some website. I submit he goes to those websites because they support and affirm his prejudice.

You're familiar with prejudice, right? We here in America by and large like to think of it as a bad thing.

Yeah, but was that because of Church or the NFL schedule?

Good point.

If you really don't get the point, you are beyond help.


I think you should find the statement, that a black man, unsupervised, would probably rape a white woman or mug someone, offensive. In the extreme.


But you don't seem to find the statement that a muslim, unsupervised, would enter a stadium with an exploding belt full of nails, offensive. To even the slightest extent.


I could argue statistics -- compare the percentage of the world's 2 billion muslims who have engaged in terrorist acts to the percentage of african-americans who have committed violent crimes -- and that would suggest that my "rape/mugging" slur is at least as justifiable as slave's "suicide killer" slur. Or I could point out that the only thing you know about this muslim is that he prays a lot, he would like to do it someplace clean, and it's not a big deal to him if he can't.


Either way, it's a slur. My comment, and slave's.


What makes mine okay, and not slave's? Intent. I think my intent was apparent -- I suspect it was to you. If it wasn't, and I offended you or anyone else, then I apologize.

Aren't you the one who used to post all the time about the Jews killing Jesus?

when really it was the polytheistic Romans. But there aren't many of them around anymore -- it's no fun to be a bigot if you can't find your targets.

Isn't Northwestern in Illinois?

And isn't that where Barrack Obama is from?

I'm surprised, Penske, that you haven't made the connection between the Senator with the almost-scary name (and who looks so scary in a turban and beard -- as we know thanks to you) and the outbreak of radical Islamofascist ....um.... polite requests to pray someplace clean, if that's not too big a bother....

Well, he's sort from Illinois, but he is also sort of a carpetbagger. In truth it appears, based on Hillary's investigation/leak to the press, he is from Indonesia, a radical islamist haven.

Hillary, otoh, looks scary in a turban and beard (as my posted pic illustrated) and is from Cook County Illinois, the home to Northwestern. Coincidence.....I think. NOT!

take a clue. why cause the need for people to inquire into your intent? no Dems could hate blacks, it that it? what about 95% of the KKK membership? Maybe a better thing would be to not type the offending words in the first place. Then we wouldn't all need to speculate what you might have meant.
