    You didn't answer my question.

    Why do you think that you can just denigrate someone's view or opinion as "crazy", or "lacking basis in reality" or whatever else, and then feel very justified in imposing your will on them?

    No one has said that however it is irrational to lump 1.6 billion of them together and say none are a threat or hardly any

    We actually did which included their governments. That is unless you live in an alternative universe.

    So, a simple copy and paste from the dictionary would suffice. I'll go ahead and do it for you.

    bigotry Translate Button
    [big-uh-tree]
    noun, plural bigotries.
    1.
    stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

    Now, I have no problem with jewish poeple, athiest poeple, Hindus, Buddhists, Shics, muslims, or anybody else. I tolerate them, I even embrace them. So what is my issue with understanding the word?


    You don't mean figuratively? Well thanks for clearing that up.
    Well I posted my understanding of the definition. If you're using some other meaning, you're going to have turned explain it.

    Because the facts do not support your view. In fact they support the opposite. Again 99.9 percent of Muslims have never attacked us. It is bigotry to blame a billion for the actions of 000.1 percent.

    I already did. I repeat. Every single post you've made since you stopped arguing against points.

    You are intolerant toward 1.6 billion people. That is bigotry

    You keep bleating "bigotry". A broken record sounds better than you do.

    Ok let's not play games. Are you in favor of banning Muslims? Are we at war with Islam? Be clear. That is the point of this thread

    I tolerate them. I just disagree with their ideology. Disagreement is all of the sudden bigotry and intolerance?

    No I said you were playing stupid. You didn't tell me I was playing bigotry, you also questioned my manhood because you are unclear as to my position.

    You made this personal.

    If my position is bigoted it would be easy to argue against it workout the use of ad hominm fallacies.

    You refuse to oppose the ban and claim Islam is at war with humanity. If I said gays were at war with humanity's family values .....is that bigotry?

    Not that I am obligated to answer your questions as if this were an interrogation, but...yes. I am in favor of banning, or at the very least, severely restricting along with very stringent vetting standards, the entry of Muslim immigrants.

    As for your second question, I don't think it's possible to be at war with an ideology or a religion. People go to war against other people.

    People don't want Muslims (or too many of them, anyway). What apart of this do you not understand? If you personally love Muslims, that's all well and good, but you shouldn't impose your will onto the rest of us. Does this sound fair to you?

    I think you are a liberal and an idiot to boot, but I have the manners to not say it out loud. Manners...do you liberals have any?

    It doesn't matter how few Muslims did this or that or whatever else. People don't want Muslims in their countries...why can't you respect this?

    So, muslims can still come here from 188 other countries. That isn't bigotry.

    Islam commands muslims to kill Al-fitnah. It isn't my claim that it is at war with humanity it's the Qur'an's claim.
    Well if the gays had a holy book that commanded them to kill all people that weren't gay, no it wouldn't. But such a thing doesn't exist, so I'd question your reason for saying that.
