Grenades thrown at Mosque in retaliation.
Explain this one, Ringo.
Retaliation. By an idiot. You can relate?
Cop was a Muslim? So? Muslims don't kill fellow Muslims? Said the Shia to the Sunni.
Quote:Maybe you are just an idiot.
I'd love to see you come to the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida. Be the fly on the wall over there and learn what you need to learn.
Why? So someone like you can call me an idiot? Sounds like I don't need Allah in my life.

You need help and I was trying to ease your islamophobia.
Explain the retaliation. Where is the outcry from the western world?
I'm only going to use one word because of the limitations of the COC:
taqiyya

Explain the retaliation? Explain why there is retaliation. Why? There shouldn't be any reason to retaliate if there's nothing to retaliate. I don't condone it by any means. But it's a reaction. A bad one, but maybe they're fed up. It's not a surprising reaction. Why did America bomb Germany? Did ALL Germans deserve that? Did it get results?
Outcry? I'm sure there will be. But I bet there won't be dancing in the street and handing out candy ... Like when the buildings came down.
You want to help? By calling me an idiot. That's what I'd learn at your mosque? I think I get your intent and message.
Peace be with you.

You'd learn nothing at my mosque because I don't have one.
You are quick to judge and it is awful.

Why invite me to one?

Look. Making fun of something that is blasphemous to others is wrong. However, if you live in a place where these things are legal by free speech, then you must either accept it, try to change by legal ways or if it offends you so greatly, move. There are places that govern under religious law. Yet many flee there, migrate and don't like the laws, lifestyle etc. many protest, some even kill.
France banned the covering of faces. Result. Riots. This example does little to get respect and sympathy.
As for my judgement.. It usually follows the analogy of if it walks like a duck.....

So you can expand your knowledge and not look like a bigot.
Quote:So you can expand your knowledge and not look like a bigot.
Expand knowledge from whom?
I've read most of the Quran. Many Hadiths. Many books on the subject. But I wouldn't know which one to go to that tells the truth. Some preach peace, others violence. so I base my opinions on my own interpretations. Sorry if I can't bring myself to believe all imams.
But the minute someone has a different viewpoint, out comes the bigot remark.
One can't expand their knowledge with blinders on, and resort to calling people idiots and bigots. When in doubt, call names. Typical.

You read most of the Quran? Doubtful.
Many books on what subject exactly? Sounds like more rubbish.
You don't know what is the truth because you interpret it yourself. That's where mankind fails and you're no different.
As for name calling, refer to your post you made earlier where you admit you "change brushes" and you know that it is wrong because your "inner self" is not congruent with your mentality.
Quote:I was profiled as a young kid, parents being immigrants. I swore I would never paint everyone with a broad brush.
I'm changing brushes. Until I see and hear outrage from the Muslim community, that their total disassociation from the radicals, my brush gets bigger. I'm not happy about it with my inner self, but I must let realism beat naivity.
You sound weak and that weakness turned you into a bigot.
I'm just going off of what you said.
Calling it like it is.

And how's that different then going off what an imam says?
Are all Muslims inherently evil of course not, but why are so many silent when the vocal minority call for the death of innocents?

Did you ever consider that there is a media bias?
Quote:and it is awful.
Now you know how others feel.

In France its called Le vision au tunnel.

I didn't read the last part correctly.
VOCAL MINORITY CALLS FOR DEATH OF INNOCENTS????
