- you shoulda been more vocal.
Well that and looking more American.
- you shoulda been more vocal.
fuckin' a, there are some seriously resentful Judeo/Christian white people posting on this thread. some seriously fucked up attitudes, IMO
what I have learned is that this Muslim WFU law student, who has peacefully practiced his religion in the US for many years, has no room to complain about ANYTHING because some people around the world who happen to practice the same religion as he are violent murderers. it's tough titty for him, because innocent Americans died and, well, that's how it works pal - you shoulda been more vocal.
wow
So you're just unaware of the fact that Kaczynski has absolutely nothing to do with anything being discussed anywhere on this thread, right?
Regardless, what exactly is the threshold for number of acts committed in the name of _____ before suspicion can be raised?
It shouldn't be tough titty for him, but it is. Societal goals and reality are not always one and the same. There are plenty of prejudiced people who are not going to change their mindset simply because you think they should.

And fuckin-A, I find your naivette and fealty to political rectitude to be borderline child-like and having little place in a real world filled with real politik.
so people should just accept whatever society tells them and not try to change people's prejudiced minds? Guess we should still be living with Jim Crow laws.

^His post on his experience in France was interesting, and I respect his observations on the gulf between the cultures. My post was aimed primarily at jhmd et al but I guess since it fell just under his he took umbrage at it.
Still, IMO the kid was just expressing how he, as an American who happens to be Muslim, has been affected by Islamic terrorism targeted at the US to more or less educate the rest of us on what it is like for someone in his position. The immediate non-Muslim American response is to assign some blame around.
My apologies Lectro - admittedly I made my post before reading the entire thread, including your posts just above mine.
What a surprise? Your failure to read what I wrote begat your substitution for your favorite explanation for the source of disagreement. Imagine my shock...
If this kid wants to complain, he needs to complain at the people who caused his problem. I'd be okay with that, but that's not what he's doing. He's bitching at the effect, and the victim crowd devours it in one bite. That's what they do instead of thinking.
This is the kid who steps on a rake, it smacks him in the nose, and then he bitches at his nose for hurting. Cause-and-effect fail.
Probably becuase the jihadist elements within Islam have co-opted the religion and with very little protest from the other factions.
V.S. Naipaul is a very great man of letters from India...he received a Nobel for literature. Have any of you ever taken the time to read his 'highly controversial' opinions of the Muslim community? I doubt many of you have any real 'on the ground experience' and instead see the issue from behind the pages of the New York Times or over a mixed drink looking out on Big Sur, or perhaps from within the cozy cloistered walls of the academy...but you ain't really (to quote James Hendrix) "Experienced".
you fail to make any sense. at least Lectro made sense
edit: can a person (the author) not explain what they are thinking/feeling about a situation without some loudmouth telling him when/how/why/where he should feel that way and who he should feel that way about???? that is my fucking point. blame is the name of the game with you. The guy was just saying "hey, Im a Muslim American and the terrorists fucked my life up too, in more than one way that maybe you non-Muslims hadn't considered or felt" and you assholes just throw him under the bus for your various reasons.
He brought up homegrown terrorist acts such as Oklahoma City... try reading.
And absolutely, when the number is in the thousands it marks a significantly different phenomenon.
Trust me, I understand your knee-jerk need to fall within what the purveyors of your own brand of ideology consider "appropriate".
And you wonder why I ignore JHMD. Bake, his post you quoted is one of the most ridiculous posts this board has seen.
Should doctors shy away from funamentalist Chirsitians, because Rudolph, Roder and others have executed doctors?
Should we all shy away from white Christins who served in the Army because Tim McVeigh did?
Should blacks shy away for all whites with southern accrents because of the Klan?
Those would be logical in jhmd's world.
Luckily most aren't as closed minded as he.
