Let's put some rational definition on this BS

ANTI-MUSLIM

Anti-Muslim hate groups are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, most of them appearing in the aftermath of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Earlier anti-Muslim groups tended to be religious in orientation and disputed Islams status as a respectable religion.

Earlier anti-Muslim groups tended to be religious in orientation and disputed Islams status as a respectable religion.

All anti-Muslim hate groups exhibit extreme hostility toward Muslims. The organizations portray those who worship Islam as fundamentally alien and attribute to its followers an inherent set of negative traits. Muslims are depicted as irrational, intolerant and violent, and their faith is frequently depicted as sanctioning pedophilia, marital rape and child marriage.

These groups also typically hold conspiratorial views regarding the inherent danger to America posed by its Muslim-American community. Muslims are depicted as a fifth column intent on undermining and eventually replacing American democracy and Western civilization with Islamic despotism. Anti-Muslim hate groups allege that Muslims are trying to subvert the rule of law by imposing on Americans their own Islamic legal system, Shariah law.

Anti-Muslim hate groups also broadly defame Islam, which they tend to treat as a monolithic and evil religion. These groups generally hold that Islam has no values in common with other cultures, is inferior to the West and is a violent political ideology rather than a religion.

I'm pretty sure some members here would qualify for these groups if they didn't already have pre-existing conditions that disqualified them from joining.

Some baiting posts have been removed.

You have your work cut out for you.

Discussing a group that hacked a gay guy to pieces in one country and beheaded an unarmed hostage in another, in the name of religion, falls under anti-what? Was that up there somewhere because I didnt see it.

this is just SHAMEFUL

Same thing I think when I see yet another story about someone getting hacked up or butchered for no reason

[Expat1 971]

The denigrating tone against a certain culture has at some point got to get old. I know it's been the flavor of the day for keyboard warriors for ages now, but eventually it'll get stale.

This could be taken as additional sarcasm or optimism, depending on your point of view.

Nothing more denigrating than getting hacked up in public for no good reason. It has gotten old.

Hacked for Allah.

I'm agnostic and not brainwashed by the medie like you closed minded, ignorant, judgemental bigota. Come judge someone in front of me and find out what my 3 years training with the monks can do.

How peaceful of you.

[Expat1 971]

Must have been a group of very peaceful monks. And tolerant. I'm guessing Not Really Monks

The exploding heart technique is way, way at the back of the line behind exploding suitcases, pressure cookers, cars, trucks, planes, mosques, hotels, subways, airports, police stations, checkpoints, and tourist attractions.

Summary: Im feeling underwhelmed by the super-ninja monk training.
