Nice response to their ridiculous rational.

Why aren't they? Do you think they're reading the Bible? Elijah Muhammad used black empowerment as a vehicle for recruitment of blacks into Islam. What about white Muslims?

I have felt the same way. The only distinction being that once many younger Muslims I've met began to feel even modestly marginalized, the extreme/worst ideas came out pretty quickly. Many thought I was Iranian, especially with a girlfriend who spoke Farsi & Arabic and didn't feel uncomfortable speaking freely around me. It generally seemed like typical wolfing BS from young guys, but "different".

Once I didn't follow in lockstep with their anger, I quickly felt like an outsider.

That's what I don't believe should exist here and what needs to be kept out.

No. Muhammad always called Islam the "Black man's religion". The main distinction being that it wasn't the Christianity forced upon Blacks or Black slaves in this country to keep us subservient. Black empowerment/knowledge of self was always first in the old days.

Nothing is basically what will be done with them. The United States has been unwilling to discriminate against Muslims. All of the terrorists in 9/11 were Muslims, but every American has to take off their shoes at the airport. The current administration is too much in bed with Muslims here and abroad to do anything about it. The only one who might do something about it is Trump.

Americans have to get real about what is going on with Muslims in America. Basically the mosques built here are being funded by Islamic countries and a certain percentage of them are radicalized. This has been going on for 30 or 40 years. The big plan is for them to take over America because they ultimately view anyone who is not Muslim as an enemy of Allah. The West is in a war with ISIS, but it refuses to treat Muslims like the enemy or even a potential enemy.

I understand that Christianity is considered the slavemaster's religion, but I think Elijah Muhammad used the religious component simply as a way to instill discipline/structure/pride. Also, it's pretty cool to declare yourself a prophet.

I'm out.

Whenever you come up with a real point. Saying just because it has not happened to my family is a reason to ignore it, is not rational.

Am I suppose to wait until it gets to be like Paris where women are getting gang raped in the streets and suicide bombers are blowing up the local theatre?

Is it socially acceptable to talk about it then? Stop saying Muslims when we are talking about EXTREME RADICAL MUSLIMS. Why is it so hard to separate the two?

One of the best kids I coached was Muslim. He was more of the Christmas/Easter Catholic type when it came to religion. He has had to move basically 300 miles from home to live a normal wife away from Religion. If he stayed around here he would be under constant pressure to assimilate.

_________________

You haven't made a point beyond saying we should be afraid of Muslims. Now you are pushing more fear and hate. How do we recognize EXTREME RADICAL MUSLIMS? You still haven't told us what we need to do beyond fearing Muslims.

You, like a few people on here, are sadly ignorant of Muslims in general. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. They all do not adhere to extremist views.
Also, let's stop talking about Islam. This guy was a nut who once claimed to be a member of Hizbollah and al-Qeada.

According to the link that America posted there are only 2 countries that the majority of Muslims believe in "True Islam" but you all keep trying to tell everyone that ALL Muslims feel the same way. And every religion believes women and the LGBT community should have fewer rights.

You can start by acknowledging they exist when they kill 49 innocent people and listening to Homeland Security when they warn you about threats from ISIS. I am not pushing fear and hate. They do that by not standing up and denouncing ISIS or the people that carry out the terrorist acts.

If Muslims don't want to be feared, then they need to stand up to the people in their religion that are causing the fear. When a religion says they want you dead unless you assimilate, I listen to the warning.

If I join the KKK are you going to judge me based on my actions toward you or would you form an option about me based on the organization I aligned myself with?

_________________

I think you're missing the point. I don't give a fuck what "True Islam" is. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist. I have no problem with anyone's crazy religious beliefs as long as they remain inside their own fucking homes.

I agree. I have no problem with the KKK believing what they do as long as they aren't doing things that have an impact on the lives of others.

They do stand up and denounce. The problem is Islamophobia drowns their words out.

You are pushing fear and hate. You're going to have a hard time convincing any reasonable person that you aren't.

As far as the bolded portion is concerned I've answered it many times. I don't care if you hate me because I am not white. As long as your actions don't have a negative effect on the lives of those you hate I will never have an issue with you.
