If by not being an apologist and saying what everyone is thinking (you included) and laying the blame and responsibility for that young soldier's death, firmly at the feet of an evil religion, and by doing so, this makes me a fascist, then that’s fine by me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3tHzLvk_84Oh and I think, if you check my posts, I referred to all religions as being intrinsically evil.
You advocate the persecution of a minority (Muslims) or several minorities (all faiths) for the wrong doings of some of them. Guilt by faith or guilt by association.You would deprive them of the same rights you expect for yourself, based on the fact that you believe their faith is worthless and that, in some way, makes you a better person.
None of which sits very well with some of the other stuff you have come away with on here. In fact it just makes it all so much bullsh*t.
Your reasoning matters not a jot. Fascists can always come up with reasons to justify their views. They are still fascists.
I'm not persecuting anyone. Religion is doing this all on its own. Religious groups have been persecuting each other for centuries. This is not something new, and it has nothing to do with me, but it is wrong to say that Islam or Christianity or Judaism or any other religion is not responsible for the atrocities being perpetrated in its name, as it is all faith based. And it is their faith that sets them fundamentally apart.
Oh and Gusmac, I am more than happy for any peace-loving individual to live in this country, regardless of his beliefs, as long as they are not trying to shove their religion down my throat or kill people in the streets.
And no one is killing anyone in the name of Atheism, as far as I'm aware.
And I suggest you read Dawkins or Hitchens before you call anyone a fascist.
Oh and Gusmac, you are not pursuing this debate out of support for any ethnic or religious minorities. It's simply because you think that by becoming an apologist, and feigning moral outrage, this gives your argument some sort of legitimacy. When the truth is, you don't give a sh*t, and you don't want Islam in this country anymore than I do, if that means extremism has any part to play in it. So spare me the bull and find an opinion you actually believe has some merit.
