    Is this anti-Muslim or anti-Sharia law? Seems like hateful bigotry to me. The guy literally wished for their deaths. Basically the only reason I created this thread was so conservatives could entertain me with dumb arguments as to why this guy’s remarks are defensible. The only way you can thwart my plans is by admitting that this guy’s remarks were disgusting.

    Why are we defending a new Jersey school board member again?

    What's next, some stuff you saw written on the wall in front of a Kansas truck stop urinal?

    What's truly disgusting is wanting to blow up the White House and cutting off the presidents head.

    So when the lefties want Trump dead, is that bigotry? Racism? Domestic terrorism? Just old-fashioned hate? The worst case of sour grapes ever? Insanity? Can someone help me out here?

    Or is this case only special because the lefties can play their Muslim victim card?

    Maybe he should go back to where he came from and sort out the problems there first?

    Liberal folks just hate it when you point out to them that they are inherently racist or sexist when the only reasons they vote for folks is based entirely either on their race, country of origin or their sex...... It's like they don't think others can actually connect those dots. And you know this is the case because liberals then accuse their opposition members of race or sex to be uncle toms, or deniers of their sex, etc... Like the racist and sexist statements of ms Alya.. When a "black man" has to be only a voice for "blacks", that does seem to be rather racist. Can you imagine a white woman screaming that all white men have to just be voices for white people? Yeah.. run that endlessly on MSNBC...

    Liberals always forget that people can just be people, regardless of their race, or sex, or whatever. it's only when they craft those neat little boxes that they seem to thrive on the misery those boxes they force on others.

    Oh that sweet sweet morally superior outrage.

    Did you have any for Randa Jarrar (the radical Palestinian Islamist immigrant Fresno State professor who was NOT fired and did NOT apologize) when she posted this on Barbara Bush's death:


    She is an open racist to boot:

    I hope the school board member keeps his job and I hope he doubles down. It is time that we stopped playing by a separate set of rules than the left.

    Is this supposed to elicit sympathy for Omar and Tlaib?

    They are victims, right?

    You want more people wishing for others deaths and libellous terrorism accusations? Wouldn’t it be better if you all just stopped?

    Tell it to Randa Jarrar. When she has been held to account and fired, then we can talk about applying the rules in this instance. Until then, no apologies for anything ever. When only one side plays by the rules, that side is always annihilated and swept into the ashbin of history.... EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    The prisoner's dilemma is real and the left is destroying the right by cheating at it.

    So you think you can speak for me to support your narrative? You are full of it...

    You know if a musilims professor said that about Christian politicians thay it wouldn't even had made the news. Stop being cry babies. You can WISH any e dead that you want and people don't have to read it.
    This is not the same thing as the cops saying AOC should be shot. Grow the **** up!

    Just a question. Does a cop ever stop being a cop? You know, like when they take off the badge, go home, or do you expect them to just always be a cop? Better question, if the cop who wasn't acting as a cop at the time, makes a statement that you don't like, does it mean that they must lose their job as a cop?

    Im not trying to excuse the comment, just asking the question about when the speech matters, or not. If, because you said something as a civilian, you lose your public job, that seems to put a lot of liberals, especially teachers at risk given their active campaigning and language concerning the president.

    Or does it only matter to you that it was about the subject of the comment? Is it because, somehow, you feel that the target of the comment deserves special protection unlike others who don't?

    Which one of these many double standards are you going with?

    Be glad to, first you start:
    "[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

    Yeah. It's not racist at all to claim that unless you speak and think the way I think you should, you're not really black, or brown, or Muslim, or Hispanic, or whatever;) Obey ME, or you don't qualify. Just imagine the shoe on the other foot? Same ol story. If a white person says something very similar to a black person, but you ONLY think the white person is the racist or the bigot, then you're actually the racist and the bigot, because you ONLY see color. You only see identity. You don't listen to the words. Its very frustrating and sick.

    I am no democratic party liberal nor am I a republican party liberal I am an independent liberal, one you can't pigeon hole because your echo chambers have no idea how to address them.

    His comments are being reported out of context. I can't find the context anywhere. Its Impossible to make an informed judgement without context.

    Most typically, news outlets will include the context when it fits their narrative. Since the context is discluded, its likely that he's being deliberately misrepresented.

    It can seem like anything without the context of what his comments were referring to. Was it a quote of them saying Muslims and Christians should get along? Was it a quote of them saying all women should be circumcized? I looked through your link, and their links and even some of your link's links, and they all show the same blurb without any context. Making a judgement either way is unreasonable in such circumstances.
