That sounds like Boortz. It shows that he's just another mouthpiece that won't recognize that there's a difference between Muslims and Islamic extremists. I could just as easily create a similar rant about attacks on people or countries and insert "white people" and "no Caucasian outrage", or "Capitalists" and "no Capitalism outrage".
I feel sorry for his listeners. I also think that disinformation like this can be dangerous.

HAHAHAHA god we never run out of stupid people do we? the sad part is we put them on the radio which means there are people out there who actually believe his crap.

No there isn't. It's all part of the same problem, and that's where there's a disconnect.

The adherents of the so-called "religion of peace" aren't speaking up against the violence, which implies that they are either cowards or sympathizers. Either way, they don't deserve any respect.

The few that do speak up (like Dr Wafa Sultan) receive death threats, or are dismissed by types like Darius.

islam isn't a religion - it's a form of psychosis.

If you had said that "religion is a form of psychosis" I would have agreed with you.

Modern Christianity is still at its foundations the same religion that caused 1500 years of bloodshed across the western world.

Is Christianity psychosis?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

It's no better or worse than its siblings, christianity and judaism.

Mark, what is your problem? You always pick on Islam here and expect ALL followers of that Religion to take the extremists in hand..... Cant you see how daft that sounds? As an American are you a guilty of those same crimes for not speaking up against ANY American extremists?
It's suchb a flawed piece of logic and makes no sense to me at all.

This type of vitriol does a good job of keeping more rational people out of the discussion. Seems like a few on this thread share the same level of ardor.

Ok so how am I an extremist?
I hate war, have friends of all faiths, color, and creeds. I don’t preach my religion to anyone, as I believe faith is a highly personal thing so tell me who is/how am i the extremist here?

Wow. You really are a bigot.
And since you are spewing such hatred from the "true and only religion of peace", I'm guessing you're also a hypocrite.

You have to admit Salman Rushdie had a point though. Or are you claiming he is just another stupid person who doesn't understand Islam?

Go to Google and search on define:bigot

One of the first entries is, "A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own."

How do you *not* fit that description?

I'll give more respect to someone who holds his tongue than to someone who wags it in support of bigotry.

Interesting point.
I don't think you have to actually be a bigot to point out bigotry.

Agreed, but I often see people who preach against intolerance being intolerant against others--mainly those who they consider "intolerant". Seems kinda like fighting fire with fire or the pot calling the kettle black.

Speaking of religious intolerance, here's something I have never understood.

* Religious people consider their faith to be truth, i.e., factual.
* If I walk up to a religious person and say that the sky is not blue, they will likely think I'm nuts but not particularly offensive because all I have done is contradict something they know to be factual.
* If I walk up to a religious person and say that their religion is a bunch of bullshit, they will likely find that quite offensive, yet all I have done is contradict something they "know" to be factual.

Why is that?

Let's see, a religion comprised of about 1.4 Billion people, with a sliver of them causing mass chaos around the world, and the mass that is "moderate" does not speak up to condemn the extremists. It is a sort of endorsement via silence.

While holding one's tongue has merits, it is a disservice to themselves, and it only adds to the deterioration of the bulk of the middle eastern region.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright

Make light!

Should we be polite to those with swastikas on their arms?

Respectful to those who would see certain races demoted to second class citizens?

Never denounce those who call for homosexuals to be reviled?

As long as they return the favor, yes. Expressing opinions is ok.

In one thread, one calls someone a bigot and it stands with no warning, but one pops up here? Same word, same forum, similar context, different response?
I guess things are as I thought they were.

Woohoo! Kick ass, Boortz! The caller stayed surprisingly calm in the face of that lambasting, so he gets props too.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.
