Yet they will be quick to tell you there is no connection to terrorism.



Some of my muslim friends think its a false flag to impose facism lol...



If the US banned Muslims terrorist groups would use it as a recruiting tool.

"Look! They're trying to destroy our faith!"

 

That being said I don't think attacks like these are going to end anytime soon. 



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

WOW. GOLLY.

 

I mean, i guess we can't debate anymore! You were an ex-muslim!?!?!?!?! How unique! It's as though you're the only ex-muslim who hates Islam out of the billions of people who've existed on this earth.

 

Also, 'say', not 'saw'. 

 

I'm not here to disagree or agree with you, but in all honesty, no one cares if you've been a Muslim or not. It's that simple. It doesn't make your argument any better or worse.

I would ban Muslims with pleasure. Their religion is evil. They are permitted to lie to advance Islam. They can be your "friend" one minute, then next, if the time is right, it's Jihad time. I don't understand how so many people are mislead and blind to this! The info is easy to access. Look it up people. Read Sharia law. Women are almost nothing under Sharia law. Your deaths are on your own hands if you accept Muslim killers into your life and die a horrible death.

It's nothing against any race, it's the evil religion and false god that I hate. All that come to this country should have to publicly denounce Allah.

 

I normally don't speak on such things on a game website, but I like peaceful people that don't want me dead because I am a Christian.

Yesterday they're two bombings . One in Elizabeth, New Jersey and the other in New York Chelsea area. 29 people injured but none killed.

Suspect is Ahmad Khan Rahami born in Afghanistan but a US citizen. Captured today in Linden, New Jersey.  Suspect is Muslim.

Great to hear that no one died. Things could've gone downhill if anyone died.

Hopefully all the victims recover.

Not racists, but ignorant.

I don't think banning an entire religion is fair or even logistically possible, beyond that how would you even implement such a "ban"? For something seeking to do harm specifically in retaliation of such a policy, it would be pretty easy to simply get a fake ID, there are plenty of Muslims who are fair skinned and have light eyes, so the whole "lets profile the guy who looks like Bin Laden" wouldn't necessarily work either.

Implimentation of such a policy would likely directly lead to more attacks not less, as it would make the US a bigger target and it would shame hundreds of thousands of completely innocent people and likely also fuel more hate crimes. 

There should be greater vetting of people and a better screening process, I would agree with that, but it should be done in a way that respects the dignity of all people. Creating a system that antagonizes people and humilates them in public isn't going to help anyone. But you can't stop every crime from happening.

We don't ban cell phones even though they kill hundreds of people every year in traffic accidents, terrorism in the US kills maybe 5-10 people on average/year in the US. It's a problem for sure, but it also helps to have some perspective. 

Unfortunately, the news is capable of blowing up stories to make things seem bigger than they are(cough cough ISIS cough). As long as these type of stories are blown all over the internet and social media, we won't stop hearing buffoons saying things like "kick out dem damn moozlims" while humping a quran.

What a surprise. How the hell do these people manage to do these kind of things without being suspected?

The internet makes it very difficult for everyone to be tracked. Just search up "ISIS lectures" and you'll get hundreds of thousands of results. Very easy for one to become an extremist and do something before we can stop them.

Islam isn't a race. Anyone can be a muslim regardless of their colour.

I think people miss the point when they say discrimination against muslims is racist.

Yes, it isn't racist, but let's move past that. The idea that one can ban 1.7 billion people is simply ridiculous and impossible to enforce. Unless they have a Muslim-detector made, banning Muslims will simply give extremists a bigger reason to attack us. Simple as that.

Bickering over terminology is a waste of time. What we should do is allow moderate scholars to teach Islam. Take away scholars who say things like kill all non-muslims or BS like that. We need to stop nitpicking at useless details and allow the moderate Muslims to overtake Islam.

On a side note, besides the bombs in NY and NJ, 8 people were stabbed in Minnesota.


In Australia, a man was stabbed by an islamist. Ishas Khan, who was know to authorities but I guess nothing was done about it.

I was pretty close when it happened. I was wondering why there were so many police cars.

People need to understand that Trump would be banning immigration from certain countries that are muslim; that doesn't mean he is banning their religion. Either way, I feel no doubt the their religion needs reform--something along the lines of the protestant reform.

Here's the thing barney.

 

Muslims try to become more moderate -> People criticize them for not following "true Islam" and being 'lazy' -> The "true" muslims go ahead and take power -> People criticize Muslims and tell them to change -> Muslims try to become more moderate....and so on.

 

In all honesty, Islam would improve significantly if people stopped nitpicking at everything and acting like anything from islam is evil. When I see people riot about whether their meat is halal or not, I just think to myself, "Does it FUCKING matter?" No, it truly doesn't. Once we stop acting like anything involving Islam is evil, then the Muslim community will stop wasting their time dealing with morons and kick off the old nutjobs who essentially forgot what it means to be Muslim.

This was a false flag attack by the government. They want to take our illegally-obtained weapons away!

I say wait. In this day of age, it's better to check the facts before assuming. Assumptions can be costly.

Wow, you almost sound hateful. I will listen to ppl that have experience with this religion and listen to why they have left. A televised Muslim has risked his life to expose the evil of Islam. I wish I had a link for you. It's on youtube. He respectfully said that he loves the Muslims, but not the evil religion and god.

Ah shucks, didn't know being sarcastic was hateful.

 

I don't like having negativity. if I sound like I'm being pessimistic or rude, I'm not. It means I probably expressed myself in a wrong way.

 


Anyhow, it's not that her life isn't important at all, it's that mentioning it in a debate is useless. it brings nothing to the table other than a fact that's worth knowing about the person.
