Explosive Growth of Militias

I have a Muslim friend from Syria. He's highly educated and makes a good living. He owns a 1000 thousand acre rance about 1/1/2 hours west of here. Three or four times a year, he takes about 20-30 of the guys at work out to his ranch, and they shoot all day. Shoot wild hogs, shoot rocks, shoot targets, drink beer, and there are lots of guns on the premisis. Shouuld he be suspected of being a muslim extremist, because of this behavior, or must ther be more evidence of his nature and intent? Afterall, he's *muslim-looking*, and he takes a bunch of guys out to shoot in the woods.

is your friend, and his gun-buddies, Islamic extremists?

Well, they play with guns, so to hear you tell it, they must be.
 
that's a pretty stupid thing to say.

Well, you've been saying it throughout this thread. I do happen to agree it's a stupid way to think, so I suggest you stop thinking it.
 
no, you CLEARLY do not.

but that's fine. I can live with it.

:shrug: No, I clearly do. You may find it embarrassing now, but I do.

Perhaps you wouldn't be so jittery about them if they all used pellet guns.

ah yes, diverting the thread to another thread, that we can no longer respond to.

that's cute. ;)

Had no idea it was closed.

But it's hardly unrelated.
 
ok, anyways...

if the Muslims playing soldier-games with guns, are NOT religious extremists, then I am unconcerned by their silly games in the woods with their toys.

Then you shouldn't be concerned with the vast majority of the militia movement. :shrug: Yet you are.
 
many of them are racists and/or extremists.

No, they aren't. Some. Not "many."

And we're back to your thinking they're "racists" or "extremists" just because they like to collect and train with guns.
 
Ive shown no such thing...and said no such things.

if the only way you can debate me, is by lying about what I say, that's pretty ****ing sad.

OK, then same question to you:

How much of the militia movement is made up of extremists/racists/separatists -- percentage?

And where is your evidence to support this percentage? Explain exactly how it shows it.

Don't dodge. Answer the questions directly. If you do not, then I have no choice but to conclude I was correct all along.

So, this is your chance. Dazzle me, champ.
 
Yeah, OK. I gave you fifteen minutes (when you usually respond in a minute or so); I'm calling it a night. If there's no answer in the morning, that's that.

Something tells me that you're not going to get that answer. Of course, I don't think you would have got that answer even if not for this…

Interesting. Was not so when I posted.
 
Of course they shouldnt, all liberals are terrorist sympathisers we certainly wouldnt protect ourselves from terrorists!


Other than outing yourself as less than honest considering your lean here, tell me, you speak for all members of liberalism do you?
