    Is Islamaphobia racist? Is it bigotry?
    Is it both?

    Unfortunately it's.........human nature.

  • Any different from Ayatollah (insert name here) saying a Catholic or Jew shouldn't be running Iran? Just another interesting comment from our world we live in.

    Atheists such as some who frequent here and elsewhere are FAR worse than any believer imo.

    How?

    I don't believe that a person who practices a certain religion is necessarily obliged to adhere to all it's supposed pillars or teachings. I don't think it has to be all or nothing. For example, I'm sure there are many in Ireland who consider themselves Catholics but who still voted in favour of same-sex marriage. I respect their right to choose their religion and equally to choose how they practice it. It's certainly not for me to say what rules they have to follow or to call them hypocrites should they happen to disagree with a certain aspect of said religion.

    Personally I'm an atheist but I understand why religion is important to people and I have no issue with those who wish to worship whatever god they choose, however they choose, as long as it in no way interferes with anyone else's freedoms to practice their own religion or equally to reject all religion.

    So very simple, really.
    Simple yes.
    It's like saying "Don't mind my coldsore, give me a kiss"
    Not getting the comparison...
    It's like saying look at me I am a beautiful, peaceful, loving person of (insert faith here)
    but never mind the ugly things I believe in though.
    It is like ordering a cheeseburger but telling them to hold the cheese.
    Thanks for clarifying. That's not at all what I took from the post I quoted, though I get that we're all hypocritical to some degree, regardless of faith or lack thereof.
    First "Like ordering a cheeseburger and holding the cheese". Great line. Will borrow if okay.

    As to all being hypocrites, well true but on a much smaller level for those that don't believe in old religious books. Much less to aspire to.

    Bring it onTex.Its a totally solid compliment.
    In today's compression short world,people tend to forget who paved the way.The lost art of pre 90s support.
    I mean who didn't have an older sibling,cousin,uncle who hasn't held them down and used the cup as a gas mask? Which usually went along with nuggies,chest thumps or spit danglers.
    Good times.

    Yes and then understand message boards and know this includes backlash and some can be personal.

    Whole fkn web is like this. Don't expect to be coddled or protected by mods.

    As to your religious beliefs, you offered up your beliefs so they are fair game AND most if these threads topics are affected by religion. Yes religion is hard to justify. Wonder why?!?

    So no more whining and present your case. You can add to the board and the more diverse views the better.

    Finally I respect many on the board that have polar opposite views than mine, Think they are class acts. I know I can talk shit and get deep but end of day we are cool. Example the two that are having a laugh at my expense RIGHT NOW. Ha

    Now share your views and be merry. And roll with the punches.

    Peace.
