NYT: I Am a Member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Not a Terrorist

Yeah, there is actually.

What you mean is that the body count isn't exceptionally high in places you pay attention to, or places that America has a vested interest in, like the oil-rich Middle East.

Well, it's not as though Islamist terrorism is common everywhere on earth either. I mean, there's not much Islamist terrorism happening in Argentina, now is there. And for that matter, there's not much going on in America either. How many people do you know who've been killed by Islamist terrorists?

Even if that weren't the case, guess what? There's other places on the planet besides America and Iraq. People live in those places, and their lives matter just as much.

The fact that you don't care about the huge massacres being committed by Christian terrorists in places like Africa and India doesn't mean they aren't happening, or that their lives don't matter.

What? When was the last one? Oh! that is right no one hears about them, C'mon.
 
I see some snowflakes in this thread are deeply offended at having to read the words of a Muslim.

Perhaps they need a safe space?

Why don't you try leading my damn link that lists a variety of major attacks by Christian terrorists within the last couple years, leading to a hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing in fear? Wow, you'll lie about anything, huh?

In May 2014, it was reported that around 600,000 people in CAR were internally displaced with 160,000 of these in the capital Bangui.

But who cares about what happens to people in Africa, right?

Well, the fact that you don't hear about them (heck, probably most of us don't) has already been explained to you.

The Central African Republic (just as an example) after all doesn't make the front page all that often.

3 years ago.

Just wait for the response (that I predict) of 2014 having nothing to do with today. :roll:
 
3 years ago.

Oh, so that's your argument for it being soooo very far in the past? It happened 3 whole years ago? :lol:

So are you going to address all the other massacres on that page, some of which are from 2016? Are you going to tell me that was 2 whole months ago, so that doesn't count either?

Or are you just going to lie again and pretend none of it exists?

I am going to argue Islam is a more pressing problem and their terror is constant.
 
This is an opinion piece. You do realize that you're now criticizing the media for not censoring unpopular opinions, correct? I thought you guys wanted an unbiased media.

Well, this is what an unbiased media does.

You don't get to say that only opinions you agree with should be facilitated, and the ones you don't agree with shouldn't be. Either you want an unbiased media, or you just want a media that only has YOUR bias. Make up your mind.

And actually it isn't clear as day. The Muslim Brotherhood condemns terrorism and is actually less conservative than many existent Muslim states. It's Islamist, yes, and its values shouldn't be accepted as a social model by American society. But that doesn't make it terrorist. I mean, unless you also think white nationalist organizations are all terrorist as well, and should also be suppressed by the media. They're just as extreme and incompatible with American values as the Muslim Brotherhood is.

No, it's a terrorist organization plain and simple. Period.
 
:lamo:lamo:

Sooooooo reliable.:rolleyes:

Do you really have to mess up every thread with your one trick pony show?:roll:


This thread is about the Muslim Brotherhood. I did not start the thread. Pay attention.

So is Christian terror. Just because you don't care about Africans or Indians doesn't mean it isn't happening, or isn't important.

Are you going to actually refute my argument, or just declare yourself king in your own mind, therefore absolving yourself of the need to support your claims? :lol:

Sorry, doesn't work that way.

Try as you might to hijack that term, the snowflakes are forever on your side of the divide.

And it's a perfect description.

Not as far as I know. Where did they use terror? Far as I know, they're just another obnoxious fundamentalist group trying to make their religious rules the law of the land, like all fundamentalists do.

There's a reason they're being labeled a terrorist organization. It's what they are.

First of all, quit playing mod in here, secondly pay attention yourself.

If you'd done that in the first place you'd have realized that this thread is about an article the NYT published, its source and, lastly, what implications that might hold.

If you want to derail intelligent contributions so far provided with your one trick pony show, surely there is a sufficiency of other threads where you're already attempting that.

Right, that's why all talks of considering it such over multiple administrations have been rejected. :lol:

It isn't labeled terrorist, that's just an empty bombastic claim coming from the Trump admin with no official support. But if the Trump admin thinks so, it must be true, just like how the Bowing Green Massacre is a real thing, eh?

Claiming something must be true because an administration made of lies said so is the most ironic thing ever.

We are talking about Islam. The MB is the topic and their relation to terror. Your posts are irrelevant.

Thing is that Saudi, the Emirates and (of course) Egypt have long since labelled it as terrorist.

The current US administration weighing over the matter whether it should follow suit.

The OP said this:
This is a terrorist organization, plain and simple. It's clear as day, and has no intention of being anything but. For the New York Times to subsidize this trash is just further proof that it seeks to destroy the way of life in this country.

Looks like I am right on topic.
