Does the University of Maryland, or any other University in the United States, or anywhere in the Democracies, have a history of rioting, damaging property, assault, or even murder, because of a film, cartoon, book, or anything else of that nature? Is this what you have been taught?
So what does that mean to you? That the head of the MSA in Illinois never said it?
Surely you're not unfamiliar with the killings at Charlie Hebdo, the fatwa on Salman Rushdie, or the international riots, and killings, over a cartoon Muslims felt to be blasphemous. The potential of more Muslims "expressing their opinion" in this manner is what has Universities, and the media, cowering in fear.
Members of this 'fifth column' are also called 'Dhimmis', and often also referred to as 'Leftists'. The terms are interchangeable.
Not all. But it does take a certain type of brain to be a member of this religion, just as it does to be a member of any organization which abuses women, little girls, murders Gays, kills young women and children for dress codes, teaches hatreds, or murders anyone for leaving the group.
Again: Oh, how quickly we forget.
lol
Uh, hello? Religion has been a protected class for decades. There is no change in how those protections apply to Muslims over the years, though the amount and/or degree of discrimination has surely increased.
I've never seen any Muslim shoppers demand any preferential treatment.
What I find amusing is that liberals were saying that to conservatives for a few decades, when those conservatives were protesting against art exhibits, and movies, and books, and TV shows, and what have you. I guess the message finally sank in.
Yet again, this is wildly inaccurate.
But it was shown in movie theaters and everything was peaceful.
You can read what I'm saying and it's all quite clear.
And where is the problem with any of this?
Christians have a history of peaceful protests while the history of Islamic protests is quite different. Do you really not know this? Muslim Protests Spread Around the Globe - The Atlantic
That's quite right, and it was because of the sexual content. The same is true of other books as well.
Right
That's right also. Protests are not new. However the form these Muslim protests take, through violence and physical intimidation, is quite new.
While you are under no obligation to reveal your age, a comment like this suggests that you're a young whippersnapper.
lol
Courts have overturned unconstitutional laws for decades; nothing new there.
Not sure how to break this to you, but desecrating the flag is a form of protected speech. In a thread where you're complaining about people shutting down speech, that seems like an odd thing to object to.
Uh, no. No, they haven't. There were a few very small riots in Ferguson, which is NOTHING compared to the riots throughout the 1960s, or even the LA riots in 1992.
Or, you have absolutely no awareness or perspective on American civil society, and believe a bunch of declinist nonsense because some of your political views got sidelined.
American Sniper has a box office total of $348,306,000 -- and it's still showing in some theaters across the US, including Maryland. The protest was also perfectly peaceful, it was basically a petition of 300 students. There was absolutely no violence involved in this protest, before or after. If we apply your logic, you should have no objection to this protest, or this outcome.
What a total massive flaming chunk of bull****.
Y'know what else is not new? Total fabrications of a sequence of events to meet a pre-determined conclusion.
The reputation of Christians carrying out peaceful protests is well known while the history of Muslims carrying out vicious and murderous riots is also well documented. Had Christians written such a petition they would have been laughed at and the petition ignored. But we all know, or should know, what happens at Muslim protests.
Protests by leftists do have a history of being more violent than other protesters. Only Muslims would give them any competition in that department.
Are you doing an Obama here and going back to the crusades? If we are talking of contemporary protests there is genuinely nothing to fear from Christians. In fact, if you follow the news, they are being deliberately targeted and singled out for death by Muslims.
Oh yes, you'll have to go back centuries to support an opinion you carry with you today, despite all the intervening changes. What we should be focusing on is what is going on in our lifetimes and what we can do about it. Blaming Christians for something which happened centuries ago and comparing it to what Muslims are doing today is absolute nonsense.
And where did that go?
Are you quoting me here??
My point is that there was far more upheaval in the 1960s and early 70s than anything we see today. Your declinist narrative doesn't make sense, because our society is much more stable today than it was 40-50 years ago.
Tangent begins in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
Yep.
How is that supposed to prove anything?
And yet, you provide no such documentation. How convenient.
Christians DO make exactly those types of protests and petitions. Heck, one Christian group is boycotting Girl Scout Cookies, because they erroneously believe there's a connection between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. I find it downright bizarre that you fail to recognize this, despite having it pointed out to you repeatedly.
No, we don't. Go ahead, tell me. Tell me what happens when a Muslim student group at an American college doesn't get its way. Please provide concrete examples.
lol... No, I don't think so. I certainly haven't seen any evidence to make any such claim. But thanks for yet more unproven partisan nonsense, can never get enough of that.
Except the ones who shoot up a bunch of Sikhs, or a bunch of school kids, or blow up a federal building, or....
In fact, if you follow the news, you'll see that Muslims spend most of their time attacking other Muslims -- in the same way that Christians spent centuries mostly killing each other Christians, and only occasionally taking a break to slaughter Jews in their communities, or Muslims. ISIS is attacking mostly Shi'a Muslims in Syria and Iraq; the conflict in Yemen is Muslims fighting each other, with sectarian involvement; the Iraqi civil war was mostly Sunnis and Shi'a killing each other; Iran and Iraq fought a decade-long war. The list goes on. The Christian minorities in those nations are mostly caught in the crossfire.
