Nigeria: 2,000 feared killed in Boko Haram's 'deadliest massacre' | World news | The Guardian
Click to expand...

I was aware of an article that was posted yesterday on this board in MSM.
Reason I asked.
From that MSM link
BBC News - Boko Haram crisis: Nigeria's Baga town hit by new assault
Boko Haram was now in control of Baga and 16 neighbouring towns after the military retreated, Mr Bukar said.

While he raised fears that some 2,000 had been killed in the raids, other reports put the number in the hundreds.

Now seriously, you're going to suddenly argue that it's not okay if Boko Haram kills 2000 people, but if it's only a couple of hundred people, it's fine? Seriously? :roll:
 
Radical (insert whatever you want here) and a free society are not compatible

No I was not.
I asked for a link. People have an issue with posting a link with an OP?
I was going by past info on the attack. From the link I posted. Take it what ever way you wish to.

I think the only takeaway here is that it is entirely irrelevant how many they kill, only that they are murdering innocent people in the name of their idiotic religion.

Let me add to this.
On another thread the gentleman posted these as links.

In Diverse France, New Years Means Hundreds of Burned Cars | VDARE.COM

I read the OP- Is radical Islam compatible with a free society?
After seeing the above link which are nothing but hate sites, I asked a reasonable question.

More semantic Nonsense in the name of Islamist Apologism.

Just like the Hebdo string where you were SO Happy you could object to someone saying/generalizing Muslims burned 40,000 cars when In fact/OF COURSE, it was probably just Many/Most, Not juvenile Strawman debate "all".

In any case, it's ALL in the service of, Indeed Classic, and HOURLY, semantic nit-picking aPCologism.


EDIT to the below Empty NON-answer.
Minimalize/nit-pick/demand endless 'proof', in service of Leftism/Islamism.

That is racist, pure and simple. And it is far from the truth. Person for person, radical Westerners are far more dangerous to radical Muslims than the other way around.

Did I state I liked or supported radical Islam. No. huntem down, take em out.
When I asked for a link on another thread, IMHO I received 2 links that are a notch above Stormfront. And a short notch at that.

Which has zero bearing on the fact that Boko Haram has been killing innocent people in the name of Islam for many years. Even a stopped clock gets it right twice a day. Only the facts are important, not the source.
 
Paleocon said:
Islam is fundamentally incompatible with liberal freedom, as are all traditional religions, including Christianity. Although some can and will bastardize it like they have Christianity.

While distinctly Islamic positions should not be supported, Muslim conservatives should be supported in their fights in their own countries against liberalism.

Stop spamming these race-baiting cartoons. What America experienced on one day, over thirteen years ago, at the hands of a tiny number of Muslims, pales in comparison to what we have done to Iraqi and Afghan civilians.

We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us.

Islam isn't a race. Rent a clue.

Arabs sure aren't white, I can tell you that. It is not difficult to see how Islamophobia and racism are almost inextricably linked, unless you are in denial.

-Islam is not a race

-It's extremely debatable in genetic communities across the globe whether Arabs constitute a race in actuality

-Those cartoons are in no way "race baiting" seeing as they don't allude to any race (there exists no "Arab race")

-You are directly advocating censure by asking me to "stop posting cartoons" just as the murderers wanted

-You seem angry to describe the "enemy" as "us". If you don't like seeing political cartoons perhaps you shouldn't be on the internet? A place for freedom of expression.

You don't have to be an Arab to be a Muslim. You really didn't know that?
 
US Conservative said:
Interesting so since you see Islam as incompatible with a free society, do you think steps should be taken to curtail it?
Click to expand...
You do fail to recognize one thing. Most of the Middle East countries are not free societies--in other words, a republic like ours. Every time a radical ideology starts up it gets curtailed here in the USA.

Take the Westboro Baptist Church for instance. I would call that quite radical, but even those folks know when to stop because of laws and regulations created by our (USA) free society.

There are tons of people who are Muslim who aren't Middle-Eastern, in fact, there are tons of black people who are Muslims. There are tons of Middle-Eastern people who aren't Muslim. Come on, surely you've figured that out by now.

Wrong. Google white Arabs. See what new knowledge you will have.
