The disturbing view of Muslims in the US

Trump declines to correct man who says Obama is Muslim

"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," said the first man Trump called on to ask a question. "We know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."

Ahmed Mohamed, Muslim teen cuffed over clock mistaken for bomb, still suspended from school

"Mohamed will not be charged with possessing a hoax bomb because there's no evidence the 14-year-old meant to cause alarm Monday at MacArthur High School in the Dallas suburb of Irving, according to police Chief Larry Boyd."



Since 9/11 Muslims have been having a hard time in the US. The reasons are clear, Bush wanted to make a new Common Enemy, the demise of the USSR left a gaping hole in the right wing "be tough on anything" policy.

In the past just calling someone a Communist was as bad as it got, now it's calling someone a Muslim. You want to get at Obama because you don't like him? Just call him a Muslim. It's simple, so simple even a redneck who managed to pass grade 2 could do it. It doesn't take brains.

And the whole while with ISIS going around killing and apparently this being really important for the citizens of the US, as opposed to, say, the Civil War in DRC or other such places.

Some Muslims are bad. Some Christians are bad. But by vilifying ALL Muslims people are essentially giving the right exactly what they want. People criticise Obama's foreign policy, it hasn't been amazing, but he's pulled back from the vilification of Muslims, and the need for the right to make Muslims the problem (and therefore the solution).

Muslims, like blacks, are responsible for the image the US has of them.
Not to say that's justified in all cases but that is reality.

Firstly. Your point.

Muslims are responsible for the image the US has of them. Yes, in part this is true. However not ALL MUSLIMS are responsible for this. Some Muslims are. Why should ALL Muslims be responsible for this image that some have made.

Secondly, Bush helped to make this image, he helped to spread this image.

Islamophobia is the cowards' way out of avoiding having to deal with complexities. It's easier to ignore all that and just fall back on good ol' composition fallacy bigotry. Fucking pussies.

What's life like in Muslim countries?

Hey, if FDR could make concentration camps in a war against the Japanese, I'm sure a conservative president could get American support to build concentration camps in a war against Islam. It really isn't too far fetched. We do, after all, have all the hallmarks of a fascist nation already thanks to the Obama administration.

What's the point here?

I don't like Islam. I also don't like Christianity. Doesn't mean I wouldn't stand up for people from both religions to have freedoms, rights, and the chance to just get on with their life.

Well said!

Tthe bolded paragraph is especially insightful.

Firstly. Your point.

Secondly, Bush helped to make this image, he helped to spread this image.

Then the ones who aren't should step up to the plate and condemn the ones who are making their lives miserable.

Well, let's see some. Out of the billion plus muslims, if the majority of them oppose the murdering bastards that commit acts of terrorism and have condemned them, you should be able to post about 10,000 videos. How about 10?

Not my job to do your research, then again, anyone who supports trump is not worthy of having an opinion that's relevant.

Translation: I don't have shit.

Of course, I knew you couldn't post any but I couldn't resist the opportunity to bitch slap you on your bullshit claim. If you could, you would have jumped at the chance to prove me wrong. Instead, I get "It's not my yob". Typical.

This sort of ignorance and hate from the right is both troubling and unsurprising.

And the stupidity of this is remarkable, as if there's something 'wrong' with being Muslim.

Some Muslims are just as bad as other groups within society.

That is, there are insane people in every segment of society.

The trouble comes when the mentally ill are mixed in a religion that calls for jihad against the infidel. Chances are, they will not interpret those passages to our liking. In fact, that is what we see time and again.

And since the mentally ill will always be a segment of any society, I have to conclude that Islam is a danger for all societies.
