It's now bigoted to ask Muslims to condemn Islamic terrorists


That has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

You may say whatever you wish. That is a fact. Unless you threaten to harm someone or influence others to harm someone, you will not be arrested or jailed for it in this nation.

Try it out. Say anything you want about the President. Go ahead.
 
If you thought it couldn't possibly get any zanier, there's now this.

This ritual, in which Muslim leaders and regular Muslims alike are expected to repeatedly denounce terrorism, is bigoted.


A very simple explanation of why it's wrong to demand that Muslims condemn terrorism

One long week after the Paris attacks, as Republican presidential candidates mounted an arms race over who can express the most overt and virulent prejudice toward Muslim Americans, MSNBC's Chuck Todd did something pretty unusual for a cable news host. He invited on an actual Muslim American person, Dalia Mogahed, who also happens to be an expert on Muslim attitudes in the US and globally, to politely ask her about all this.

Their whole exchange is worth watching, but I wanted to pull out one particular moment, at about 4 minutes and 40 seconds, which came as Todd was asking her about American leaders who demand that more Muslim leaders come out to condemn ISIS. Mogahed, rather than pointing out that they already are condemning ISIS, made an important point: this is the wrong question entirely, and we need to stop demanding that Muslims condemn terrorism.


I think we should take a step back and ask a different question, which is: 'Is it justified to demand that Muslims condemn terrorism?' Now that might sound a little radical. The reason I say that is this.

Condoning the killing of civilians is, to me, about the most monstrous thing you can to do. And to be suspected of doing something so monstrous, simply because of your faith, seems very unfair. Now when you look at the majority of terrorist attacks in the United States, according to the FBI, the majority of domestic terror attacks are actually committed by white, male Christians.

Now that's just the facts. When those things occur, we don't suspect other people who share their faith and ethnicity of condoning them. We assume that these things outrage them just as much as they do anyone else. And we have to afford this same assumption of innocence to Muslims.

She's absolutely right. This ritual, in which Muslim leaders and regular Muslims alike are expected to repeatedly denounce terrorism, is bigoted. (Will McCants, a scholar of jihadist ideology at Brookings, thinks it might also be counterproductive.) It implies that every Muslim is under suspicion of being sympathetic to terrorism unless he or she explicitly says otherwise. The implication is also that any crime committed by a Muslim is the responsibility of all Muslims simply by virtue of their shared religion.

But Muslims manage to condone these attacks on their own. Then get told to condone them AFTER they have condoned them, because people didn't bother to look to see if these people had condoned the attacks in the first place. Bigoted? No, just idiotic.

You mean condemn......right?
 
Wrong again, as usual.

Every person in the United States is at liberty to use any words he so desires, to openly express his ignorance, hate, bigotry, and stupidity absent punitive measures by government, his speech safeguarded by the First Amendment, when his speech and expression conform with First Amendment jurisprudence.

It does display a fundamental cluelessness of how rational thought works and a "they all look alike to me" mentality but I don't think "bigoted" is necessarily the right word. I'd go with "intentionally ignorant".

They condone them? :)
 
The Muslims will be welcomed as a part of America more than the far righties are. Simple fact.

jake, RWer or whomever you will be posting as next. You do what all liberals do and it is disgusting. Everything about you has to be about race, religion or something. I said not one bad word about Muslims but your knee jerk reaction sure indicates to me your inner feelings.

Go away jake no one on either side trusts a fake. The left wing across the world is losing and you are in denial.

they give liberals a bad name in how they act. but they don't seem to care

Yep, massively under the weather right now, I'm selling green by the bucket load.
 
And if they happened to miss any possible offense committed, they have created the "micro aggression" as the ultimate PC control tool. Real Americans of all parties are finally rejecting the nonsense of the Left.
 
The left has discredited the word 'racism' so badly it has no sting at all any more to people I talk to, except one Millennial I know.

One day pro-white racism will make a comeback and it will be inside the same party that pushes discrimination against whites today; the Dimmicratic PArty.
You're on it Jim. Hatred and bigotry are ingrained in the genes of democrats.
 
Double edged sword. Muslims, true muslims, should be in the front of the line condemning violence in the name of Islam, but there is fear that those they are would be condemning would see them as the heretics and seek to kill them because they are opposing Islam and a global caliphate or theocracy and siding with the kafir.

The right thing is to disavow terrorism and violence in the strongest terms but doing so might put them in danger from other "muslims"
