    Well I guess I am not sure why it matters? Do different religions carry different weight on here? What if I am not religious at all? Would life be easier for you if some forum members wore a yellow star?

    That is fucked up

    I'm weird? I'm not the one asking people to list their faith or lack thereof on a message board. Again...I don't see why it matters.

    No you're right, you're not weird, you're just fucked up. Who the fuck makes a shitty statement like the one u did. If I was Jewish, I would be offended by your post. Matter of fact, I'm offended for the Jewish people that you made a lame ass remark like that. And people see your post and now see what kind of a classless person you are. Are you aware that my secret Santa this year is from Israel? Are you aware that he even specifically asked to be my secret Santa? Whatever little respect I had for u as a human, just went right out the door. And I'm sure you can careless, but I'm not the one you have to worry about. Think of how other people on the boards look at you now.

    I think rational people on these boards know who is asking people to list their religion and who isn't. You are the one trying to assign religious motives to my posts. Again...I don't see why my faith or lack thereof is of any importance.

    I don't give a shit about you or your faith anymore. And I'm sure when people see what you posted a couple of posts above, those same rational people will see you for who u are. Seriously, go away. I'm seriously contemplating ripping you on these boards to the point where I'll be banned. That's how pissed I am at your shitty post. Go spread your fear monger ways somewhere else.

    Edit- and if you think you're gonna poke me to get that response to get me banned, I will be taking you with me. What a fucken joke. You insult the people of the Jewish faith by that fucken remark.

    Did anyone hear about the mosque that burned down yesterday? Or the fireman who tweeted,"let it burn down." I'm not gonna let one asshole fireman ruin the way I look at fireman.

    What a fucking stupid fireman. I mean, the sentiment is sickening obviously, but I'm also struck by how idiotic he must be to actually tweet that and not consider the consequences.

    My guess it he loses his job if he uses him real name on the Twitter account. You CANT say that shit publicly.

    Edit: let me rephrase what I said because it is abundantly clear that I need to. As a public servant, you can not go on Twitter and say that IF he meant it to be an anti Muslim sentiment. Now, there is one exception to that. If the mosque, or any structure for that matter is burning and the chances of saving the building are slim, you let it burn. One of the sayings I preach at our trainings is "risk a lot to save a lot, risk little to save little."

    I agree. You can't call people names publicly.
    Especially if you don't want to be questioned publicly.
    Nice post Mr. Exit.

    He's trying to imply I'm an anti-Semite.

    That is seriously fucked up. Do you realize how offensive that statement is? Do you even care? Or were you just making some mindless flip comment?

    For a large portion of US population they have bought into every Muslim is a terrorist and wants to kill Christians. They talk amongst each other and just think this is an okay viewpoint. this guy never thought to suppress his thoughts. When story ran in Houston local news, majority of commenters said same or worse.

    Humans have this instinctual need to be part of a tribe. Once in that tribe they will take side of tribe no matter the logic or if it's right. Funny yet sad when I see a dog become member of human pack they will go after the other humans even if it's current owners starve and beat it. Same thing.

    In the effort of the government to get support for war "the Evildoers" simply need to be shown as the other tribe. Show them some bad stuff and a large enough group will get into their tribes and hate and want to kill the other person.

    So the fireman became this dog and couldn't help himself. And we have a growing problem in US.

    BUT strife is good for leaders and business.

    He's a fireman in Texas, I would be surprised if any consequences arise. Firemen are in the same brotherhood of protection as police.

    The Denmark shooting was targeting another cartoonist who lampooned the Profit.I would say that is pretty clear cut about motive.I still think you may be looking for an angle in NC BB that isn't there.Still horrific and sad no matter but to the motive of the shooter,My guess is it wasn't racially motivated.

    Disagree, father of the daughters said the shooter had no prob with his son in law for over a year of living there. That all changed once his daughter got married to him and moved in. Saw the father talking on the news networks. And why not just shoot out the tires of the car if it was over a parking spot? Instead, execution style, 3 shots to 3 heads? Sorry, I'm not buying it.
    I'll factor that in when watching this thing unfold Nart.

    I can see why this event and the church fire and the with the general Bias going around of late,People of the Muslim faith (espescially the ones who show it outwardly) are feeling like targets and victims not just to the uneducated masses who are haters ,but to the fundamentalists hijacking your otherwise peaceful religion.

    Would you say it is anywhere as bad as post 9/11 hysteria? As a guy who"doesn't look Muslim"(Ya know white and tattooed) Are you overhearing hate talk in day to day interactions?

    I started this thread with a link to the shootings in Copenhagen. Badbrains very first reaction was to pounce on me declaring that I said nothing about his North Carolina thread and that I should tell him my religion as if the two issues are linked.

    Well...I did comment on the North Carolina thread. I called those murders a hate crime. Bad Brains was wrong. He jumped the gun and implied a religious connection to a perceived injustice in his head.

    Why did he do that? Why was the status of my religion the first thing that came to his mind when I made this post? There was a silent insinuation in his initial line of questioning that just doesn't sit right with me at all. It shouldn't sit well with any of you whether you are religious or secular. The "yellow star" imaging might seem a little troubling but we now have a self-described "Troll Hunter" marching around these boards casting aspersions and bullying those he disagrees with to state their faith. I think his line of questioning with respect to religion is completely out of line and I will not sit silently while he harrasess other members. This has got to stop. As anyone out there who was forced to wear the yellow star will tell you it is that "silence" of those around them that they found to be the most offensive. I will not be silent on this.

    Other members? Harass? Oh god, do you hear yourself? Only people I'm calling out are YOU and your fake cop buddy dan. Funny how you forget to mention that I APOLOGIZED to you on the forum about saying you didn't condemn the NC shooter.(selective amnesia) And now you're out here appealing to your fellow members to join your "side".

    So my questioning doesn't sit right with you? So you basically come out and label me an anti-Semite? How do I know you're Jewish if you won't even answer? Now it's beyond religion or faith when it comes to you. You're a fucken hate monger to the fullest. You're damn right I'm a troll hunter. But you don't have to worry about me hunting you. You're not a troll, you're someone who's full of fucken hate towArds a people that you would sink to any level to show that hate. Again, your statement about yellow stars attributed to me is insensitive, offensive and you're fucken lucky I don't flag your ass. I don't rat or tell on people. As much as I would love nothing more then to flag your post, I won't. I'll let everyone on the boards see you for what and who you are. A fucken fear monger, not troll. So since you won't tell me what religion you are, and now I really don't give to fucks. I'm gonna say "fear is your only god."

    Thanks for all of you who spoke up for me and who were kind enough to send me pms of support regarding this fear mongers hate talk. You guys have no idea how pissed I was last night. Seeing these messages of support this morning was awesome. Thanks guys.

    Yes, you did point out that BB was incorrect, and he apologized.

    As for the "yellow star" comment: for me, it is more than "a little troubling." And to try to compare a simple question to that atrocity is offensive and disgusting. Why was BB asking the question? I won't try to speak for him, but maybe he was asking to understand where you are coming from with regards to some of your posts (this is just a guess on my part). Isn't that what we should strive to do: understand?

    This thread is a train wreck.

    In the context of how it was asked, BB was being confrontational.

    I'm not defending BS- he could have deflected the unnecessary question more gracefully.

    I cannot recall another time on this forum where things have become so personal for so many.
