Religious hate suspected in Southfield bus stop stabbings

0bozo sheep need TLC as they have become infected by their leader. Here is the partial transcript from the emperor's mouthpiece becasue he's chickenshit to face the press:

White House’s statement on the ISIS slaughter of Coptic Christians in Egypt called them “citizens,” not Christians. Fox News’ Ed Henry brought this up to Press Secretary Josh Earnest today and asked him why they didn’t include that rather relevant detail, considering the terrorists specifically killed them for their faith.

Earnest did not deny that, simply reiterating President Obama‘s prayer breakfast statements about people of all faiths speaking out against people who would “distort faith” in the name of terrorism.

But what Henry really wanted to know is why they didn’t specifically mention the victims’ faiths when Obama did so in reference to the Muslim victims of the Chapel Hill shooting. Local law enforcement hasn’t confirmed yet whether it was a hate crime, and Henry pressed Earnest on why Obama made such a definitive statement then.

Earnest said Obama was just trying to articulate the important point that no one should ever be targeted for their faiths. Henry challenged him and said “we don’t know that they were targeted” for that reason.

I simply called it out for what it really was. I lit the flame that blew up the airship...

Apparently, you can say racist, hateful things about people and that's ok, but the second you point it out, you're in the wrong. It's like as long as you don't say the N-word everything else is fair game.

Just a thought for you. It could actually be because the government doesn't want to pander to far right extremists.

Nobody questioned that statistic? Nobody?

Because when you do, he shuts down. You've scared him out of this thread. RIght now he's searching the internet for anything relating to black people and crime. I wager there will be another black person did something wrong before the weekend is out. If it's a black muslim, it's like a reset button. Then he'll be in good spirits again.

The sad part is that bigotry and prejudice is all they have to offer... Must be sad living like that.

That sort of describes the approach to the issue by VJ moderation. They're more concerned if you call someone an idiot or a racist because that doesn't require much thought to render a judgment on.

They seem more concerned about racists having their enjoyment of the forums spoiled, rather than that they are there at all.

If you're Muslim you're only counted if you're doing some real horrible stuff and blaming it on god.

If you're like the vast majority of Muslims, who live in peace, and abide by their faith, you're invisible.

It is, but like Teddy said, it's entertaining destroying their illusions. My only fear is, all this anti-muslim sentiment is going to get someone hurt.

Pretty much. It's pseudo-bigotry. At least Danno had an art form when he did it. Even though you could see right through it.

Or maybe they're trying to build a broad coalition against ISIS with countries in the region. Bashing Islam would probably not be all that helpful in that endeavor.

Nope. You're a moderate Muslim, which means by doing the right thing, and not personally stopping any atrocity carried out by a Muslim, you're just as guilty. Glad to see you're still around

Yep, just like you're a Christian if you're killed by a Muslim.

Generally speaking it's not a brilliant idea to frame wars in religious terms.

[JohnR! 5,495]

If bashing Islam would do any good against ISIS, the posts here on VJ alone would have been enough to put an end to their campaign.

Rationally speaking it would be completely insane to purport to fight a war against any religion.
