And you know what, OP.

I am sure many have their reasons to fear certain groups of Arabs.

If my girlfriend drove a car in Saudi Arabia, she'd be in trouble.

If my gay Arabic friend expressed his love on the phone, in a public place in any Arabic country, he'd in big trouble.

If my transgender friend walked the streets wearing make up and showing his facial hair, he'd be in big big trouble.

Hell, somewhere in Iraq and Syria, you might get killed if a certain group of Arabic terrorists found out that you are following the "wrong" sector of Islam.

I don't even have to go that far, I've seen it first hand in the UK. Arabic Muslims enjoy our country because we are tolerant of their right to be as prejudiced against Jews and as homophobic as they please. They enjoy it in ways they couldn't in their Arabic speaking countries.

So many troubled places in this world, and the West still has so many miles to go when it comes to morality progress. I have to wonder what that means for most Arabs. Time to ask your people to get it together no?

Already tried. Of course, they don't really care. Their noses are too deep in their traditions.


Really hoping the horrible Arabs die off. I always do see them smoking 24/7. Hopefully that will help get rid of the ones who do nothing but bring down others.

I'm more than a little confused. You encourage us not to fear Arabic, not to lump all Arabic speakers into a single monolithic entity.

Then you go on to write that "Arabs are humiliating" and "really hoping the horrible Arabs die off."

Why warn us of generalizations and prejudice against a language, but cultivate generalizations and prejudice against a cultural/ethnic group?

I wasn't referring to all arabs. I should've clarified.

 

As we all know, Islam is( nowadays) put into 2 groups- extreme and moderate.

Many arabs tend to be extreme and have viewpoints which harm others- hating jews, stoning gays, etc etc

 

 

I don't want arabs to die off. I only want the generation obsessed with the literal form of Islam to go away as soon as possible.

I'm fairly sure the christian apostle Paul was very happy to see people fight christianism and it's values, thinking something like: "I'm really glad I have so much to teach them".

Wasn't islam also a religion of peace? Because next to that, you just look like someone full of hate.

I don't see the point you're making with the last 2 sentences.

 

Clarify please?

Wait, I never said anything about Muslims.

Didn't you see the part when I said Arabic isn't a language only for Muslims?

 

Why do we have to make this another religious thread .-. 


Not sure why you're assuming it's a religious response. It's anything but, did you even read what I said? Sure, I did use the word Muslim because that's where the majority of the fear is generated from for these messed up bigots, and yes. A lot of these "bigots" believe that everyone from the middle east are Muslims. I've met a lot of people that claim that all Sheikh's are Muslims. I mean seriously, wtf? Btw all the Jew's and Christians in the middle east are also Muslims, according the average Western dumbasses that don't do any research.

So you are correct. I did use that word, and I used to enforce the idea of illusional racial barriers.

About the "really hoping the horrible Arabs die off." How is that a generalisation when he specifically said the horrible ones? 

Saying 'I hope the mexican cartel die off' isn't a generalisation against mexicans.

Well, that sentence could be interpreted in more than one way. One could read it as "I hope the Arabs, who are horrible, die off." One could also read it, as you have, as "I hope those select Arabs that are horrible die off."

In either case, I feel uncomfortable with the framing of that conversation. It seems to suggest that being horrible or humiliating has something to do with Arab-ness.

You know what I want to die off? The term "moderate" Muslims.

There is no MODERATE Islam. Just like there is no moderate Christianity.

The only reason moderate Muslims are perceived as moderate is because they omit the parts of Islam that do not fit the 21st century. In other words, they are lazy Muslims who can't bring themselves to live by the holy book and hadith, and sometimes, they can't bring themselves to even read them. 

Lazy is fine. Lazy Christians, who can't bring themselves to even read the bible, didn't stand in the way of moral progress. Muslims becoming lazy, when it comes to religion, is a good thing.

Let's call it as it is, no need for politically correct terms like "moderate Muslims". They are just lazy, and partially unconvinced of their own beliefs.

I'm so sick of these threads. How fucking difficult is it to just talk about video games/other similar forms of entertainment? Instead, you guys like to make and comment on these types of threads and circlejerk with one another about how righteous you all are. Newsflash: your thoughts on these types of topics are not special.

Second newsflash: the way this website is going (buggy, late numbers, and a shitty/off topic forum), I wouldn't be surprised if it died soon. A place like this has so much potential...why can't we help it reach that?



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
