I'm a young, black, MUSLIM male in America and....

[Van Halen]

I'm very proud of how many Australians are joining the ''I'll ride with you'' rally with Muslims. Great to see. I've always been told that Australia is one of the most racist countries in the world but now I'm not so sure.

I've been noticing more and more support for Muslims around my State also.

So I'll get to the point. My white coworker who was over at my place today asked me today, ''why don't Muslims stand up and speak out against terrorism?''

Here's what I told him, do you speak out when say a white person shoots up a school? Do you justify yourself to people and act apologetic?

Now those people don't represent a religion but neither do the terrorists. They are just terrorists/extremists that use religion as a way to recruit people. It's easier that way.

I said we Muslims, or even Italians, Philipinos, Chinese, etc aren't guests in this country. We are proud Americans. We will not be apologetic, or go out of our way to explain ourselves.

America has a history of turning on people. The Irish, Italians, Japanese, Blacks and now Muslims and to a lesser extent, Jews. It's a shameful part of our history but no country is perfect.

Happy Holidays and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

p.s

No I don't want stupid Sharia Law and I will not get offended if told Merry Christmas.

A radical Muslim wants to behead you.

A moderate Muslim wants a radical Muslim to behead you.

Merry Christ...

Lol. Nice. People are too sensitive over race or religion jokes.

Merry Christmas to you too and everybody else here.

Allah be with you Joe.

God Bless America and everybody have a happy new year. Time to finish getting drunk..

Sumday was this the fastest anyone ever outed one of your ghosts?

 

[Van Halen]

No such thing as a moderate Muslim Joe, just a real Muslim. The others are just extremist psychos using religion as a tool to recruit people. How else will they get sane people to blow themselves up other than for religious reasons or for money.

Some of the other comments are way over my head.

I came over from Covers. Am I allowed to say that here. Heard there were way fewer trolls here.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Anyone who rallies with Muslims has a death wish.

Whenever Muslims have the majority they terrorize non-Muslims. Try being Christian in Egypt right now. Coexistence has never been in Islam's dna.

When are real Western leaders going to stand up and speak the unembellished truth about the nature of radical Islam?

Fact 1: The whole "I'll ride with you" thing was a lie. The stupid girl made it all up.

Fact 2: Comparing a white person shooting up a school to someone blowing up a building or killing random strangers in the name of religion is nonsensical and stupid as they are 2 dissimilar things.

Are you stupid and nonsensical?

Finally, something we agree on. Was worried that might never happen.

Welcome back Jaguara

was jaguara such a reasoned man? I remember him as a flamer

 

[ScottL]

Multiple 'Tells' Willie. I can't reveal. Don't want him to change it up and make it difficult to bust his next incarnation on Day One.

I don't have much of a problem with the OP either. Heck I'd ride with them myself. If I saw someone being threatened for wearing a head scarf I'd protect them.

Here's the rub though. Sumday always makes the extra leap. "They are just terrorists/extremists that use religion as a way to recruit people. It's easier that way." FALSE! These are terrorists who are interwoven with Islam, and if you scroll down to the thread I started yesterday that is clearly demonstrated. Now to what degree they represent Islam in the present day is a battle that the rest of us will fight. And winning that battle will be much easier when the moderates who claim Islam stand up JUST AS LOUD as the "I'll Ride With You!" voices and shout (regarding Islamic terrorism), "NOT IN OUR NAME!"

Good post. Too bad you weren't born in Australia. You could have been President of the United States.

No need to get hostile. We are all grown men here. Each entitled to our viewpoints.

 

[Van Halen]

I was told there are no trolls on this site at least not compared to ''down the street'' I hope this isn't the norm here. Although Joe seems harmless enough. As far as some of the other jokes go they are completely over my head.

Take care all.
