Do you have statistics to back this up?

Also, what are you trying to get at here, exactly? There's a difference between having a shitty opinion and actively trying to kill people who don't have the same shitty opinion.

People are talking about different things when they're condemning Christian fundamentalists versus when they're condemning Islamic extremists.

When they're condemning Christian fundamentalists, they're criticizing people who are a part of our society, with some degree of power, in a context where the majority of the country are their co-religionists. When they're condemning Islamic extremists, they're criticizing a foreign group, that no one here really agrees with, and criticism of which might splash up against their peaceful co-religionists.

Of course people are going to talk differently in the two situations. Because in the one case, they're trying to get society to stop supporting certain things which society does actually support or condone. In the other case, society already doesn't support those things, and so the only likely outcome is a bunch of random Arabs get the shit beat out of them.

I kind of get what you're saying now, but I'm not quite sure how it relates to my comment. Regardless of how you look at it, refusing to call ISIS a Muslim extremist group is just stupid. Also, let's not pretend that Islamic extremists are limited to the Middle East when they exist in America as well. There was recently a shooting over depictions of Muhammad in Texas, no? There was the Boston Marathon bombings, of course. And I remember a couple years back there was this drama when South Park episodes were pulled after threats from the NYC-based Revolution Muslim group. While the peaceful Muslims far outnumber the nutjobs, it's not like they don't exist over here too.

Yeah yeah. Most of arab countries are hollow as fuck. There are even histories of them been kept the most big terrorist group of history. Yep, talk about asses kept going to those countries and make matters worse.

(Anonymous) 2015-06-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)

The core problem is that no matter how much you try to say that certain fringe groups of Christianity are harmful to society (some violent, some simply harmful their members or to society at large) there's always going to be someone bellowing NOT ALL CHRISTIANS and refusing to acknowledge that there are so many sects and movements within Christianity that it'd be impossible to even come up with some kind of solid core doctrine they all could agree on.

The flipside of that is that too much of the Western world assumes that ALL Muslims are extremists who are out to destroy them and their society. And yeah, some are. But people aren't willing to hear that or understand it, so instead of seeing "extremist Muslims" they see "Muslims" and they place that blame on everyone they perceive to fit that label. Meaning that more innocent people suffer (violence, ostracization, discrimination, etc).

Is it right? No. But it's how things work in a society that gets most of it's information from large biased news sources. People only have so much empathy to go around and they are always going to favor "their own groups" versus "other groups" when doling it out, even when "their own group" might not have anything to do with them.

So the movement to keep things like ISIS from being labeled Muslim is the same kind of movement as those who try to say that Westboro Baptist Church aren't Christian.
