That's very heinous, so the KKK is right up there with the jihadists. I wonder why Obama hasn't gone after them, afterall they dragged a black man for 3.5 miles behind a truck.
Maybe we should send the KKK up against ISIS.
No, we are at war with religious extremism. That extremism just so happens to be Islamic.
No, we are not. Islam is a religion, you really can't go to war with a religion. It's like going to war against nouns.
If Islam is fascistic then those that want to be abide by it let them be patrolled by sharia law officers. Certainly the sharia law officers cannot and should not have the right to oppress those that do not prescribe by it freely!
Those that would have difficulties to prescribe to the oppression of sharia law patrol officers are people that believe value freedom more than oppression. Those can be (and are not limited to): Shallow Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, or people from other religions.
If some idiots want oppression because they are afraid the uncertainty of freedom, then I do not see why should be stand between these masochistic tendencies as long as it is voluntary? People suffer far worse with masochistic tendencies and are free to do so if it is voluntary.
Many Americans though want to fight Islamic extremism with Christian extremism.
Maybe we should just eliminate them both. Every last one of them.
That almost makes it sound like the KKK is okay.
Seems like Britain may have a problem in a London suburb. If Britain has the will they can deal with it if they want and have the will. If they think the patrol has gone too far and if they are not citizens of the UK, they can deport them. There are also other ways.
But I am still more worried about Washington Laws than Sharia Law.
Islam is a "hate organization"? :roll:
I can already say this debate and thread is going to go nowhere because of ignorant, broad generalized statements like this.
Is lynching somehow better than beheading?
Has the KKK lynched anyone in the last 60 years? If so, you liberals kept re-electing a senator to congress year after year in Robert 'the grand Kleagle' Byrd, (D) WV.
He finally had to die to get rid of him.
Since when did ISIS represent a whole religion?
Link?
Seconds before being asked about race relations, Byrd mentioned his membership in the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s. He was reacting to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who recently admitted fathering a child with an employee of his nonprofit organization.
"He made a bad mistake," Byrd said. "We all make mistakes. I made a mistake when I was a young man. It's always been an albatross around my neck, joining the Ku Klux Klan."
Link?
But Byrd, unlike Thurmond, renounced his youthful participation in a racist cause. See, for example, this exchange with CNN's Bernard Shaw in Dec. 1993:
Q: What has been your biggest mistake and your biggest success?
A: Well, it's easy to state what has been my biggest mistake. The greatest mistake I ever made was joining the Ku Klux Klan. And I've said that many times. But one cannot erase what he has done. He can only change his ways and his thoughts. That was an albatross around my neck that I will always wear. You will read it in my obituary that I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Contrast that with an interview Thurmond gave Joseph Stroud of the Charlotte Observer in July 1998 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his presidential bid on the segregationist Dixiecrat ticket. Asked if he wanted to apologize, Thurmond said, "I don't have anything to apologize for," and "I don't have any regrets." Asked if he thought the Dixiecrats were right, Thurmond said, "Yes, I do." Thurmond said this four years ago!
This gets posted every single year, and every single year you keep getting schooled on it to no avail. I guess, it's alright to attack Robert Byrd for being a KKK member, but the founding fathers, who actually owned and most likely beat slaves, are above reproach and should be treated with silk gloves.
