Muslims Report Rising Discrimination at Work

[Bad_Daddy 2,209]

At least color and race are tangible things that you actually CAN base an opinion on.

Religious people base their opinions on imaginary skydaddies and that's somehow okay.

No.

Oh yes, thanks for the correction. Being anti-Muslim is totally acceptable these days.

How about being anti-black? Or anti-Christian?

You've got to be kidding me if you think these positions are ok.

I never said it was ok

but you have to agree that just becasue someone is a muslim sympathizer or muslim does not mean they are a good and honest person.

At the same time you can not say that someone that supports Anti Muslim or has an Anti Muslim stance is an evil or bad person.

Your biased views prevent this concept which is reality

Nice attempt to justify your actions there Mr. Duke. Actually, there is a right to not be discriminated against, in the workplace. Seeing as workplace discrimination is the topic of this thread, i'll ask you to stop trying to hijack this thread toward a nebulous discussion on how ostracizing bigots is racism, which it is not.

Actually by Ostracizing someone for their personal believes is a form of discrimination in iself. Here in the USA a person has a right to their own opinions right or wrong as we see it.

That's reason to be anti-terrorist, not anti-Muslim. 9/11 and 7/7 didn't affect only non-Muslims. Terrorists don't care if they kill you or me in their attacks. In fact, most terrorist attacks are against Muslims, not non-Muslims.

And you with your pathetic bandwagon, coat-tailing the most feeble-minded yet vicious bully in school because you *wish* you could be so singularly hateful. Shame--less on your lazy hate and more on your slavish sorry routine. An opinion based on race would be as nonsensical as judging you for the deluded Bee Gees revival-style metallic Outfit of Sadness in your pic.

Somebody close this thread before I lose it. More.

Asking them to close a thread becasue you do not agree with someone elses posts is closed mindness.

I would think your avoidance of the thread would be better or if you feel the need to break TOS against someone who has not doen so a rightful banning could take place.

But ignoring someone is probably your best course of action.

Peace man

I was asking as in, "somebody put me in a straightjacket because I'm freaking." Not because of the post itself. Awareness of my own breaking-through of as*hole in response to crazy. And hyperbolic/sarcastic, obv.

But I don't know about just bowing out, at the same time. There are upright humanoids declaring justified hate against enormous entire blameless groups. TOS you say? Basic decency?

My apologies I was thinkn you were wanting to vent more which could be TOS violations

I can understand your anger at these groups or people as their views and opions can be hurtful and hateful etc.

TOS would be if they spoke out directly at you etc or if you were to post and such nothing more meant by it.

Decency is thought process. What you think was basic decency maynot be what they think.

But for me a person can be courteous, generous, polite, and show respect and still disagree with someone that is muslim and even support Anti muslim ideas

So what is your idea of decency?

That's where you lose me. I'll think about and answer your decency query in another post.

cool I would make a friendly sugegstion not to only quote partial statements to skw the meaning of a statement.

You may not have meant to do that but it does make its own statment of you only read what you thought was said threw the rest out.

In general you make a good point. In this instance of selective quotation nothing was lost; the objectionable portion was highlighted for clarity and not removed from any context that would have tempered or redefined it. This segment of your post was bullsh*t. The rest was fine. I excised it so that the rest of your post would not be painted with the bullsh*t brush.

If you wish to reword the partial quote so as to not make it sound like abject prejudice, go nuts.

[evli1966 88]

Abolutely not Imeant what I said.

your saying that soemone can not show you decency becase they support Anti muslim ideas.

You call that BS.

You would never know someone supported these ideas unless they told you so.

Your saying this person could not or would not show you kindness/politness/coutesy to you or any other muslim; or at least calling it BS.

I would say it would be more your refusal to accept that decency of that person based n your own biased feelings that would conflict with the normal human emotion of recieving acts of kindness.

In reverse your meaning could be understood that a Muslim or one of its supporters (at least you) could not or would not show the same decency to another person who supported Anti-Muslim ideas.

I can't even finish reading the thread before I respond to this. This is your "people are people" argument writ large into utter diabolical absurdity. You have completely lost the plot. You have constructed a laughable specious world view as a way to forgive your own hate, and it is the most cowardly, hubris-ridden, intellectually and soulfully bankrupt thing I've heard in memory.

that's your problem and not mine.

If it makes you feel any better I hate "all" people. Now I mean that in the sense of people who butt into other people's lives and don't know when to leave well enough alone. Unlike most people out there today, I don't see "black, white, Hispanic, etc..." unless someone is blatantly trying to act like a stereotype and it's not against any race or creed, all races and creeds including "whitey" are equally bashed like no other when they don't know how to act in public light.

I think your "tell" is how you continue to try to justify yourself. If your foulness is indeed only my problem, then there's nothing to add. You are at utter peace with your rejection, with prejudice, of most of the world. So why are you still talking? I certainly don't matter. Is it because I'm white? Picture me as brown. That will clear right up.

Nah, you want to win an argument. Bad news bears: your "argument" will never hold water with anyone who has any true integrity. Your central stance is a dead philosophy, never growing, never changing, rooted in hate and exclusion, borne of ignorance and bias and resentment, bearing rotten fruit. Your legacy is smallness and hate, nothing more.

I'm sorry; I didn't say those things and I don't think we're on the same page. I don't understand much of your post.

IMO, getting DOL and DOJ involved is 'the right way' to tackle this discrimination problem.
