projection is a terrible thing to behold.
case in point:
"I hate Muslims. I don't want to admit it. so, I will claim that all Muslims hate me [America/non-Muslims/whatever category is most convenient to make my point.]"
WHENEVER someone paints with that broad a brush s/he is engaging in projection. it is ugly.
Why do some people on this site have such a ha** on for Muslims? That just shows how hateful people are and it shows that they have to put the Muslims down just so they can look better (in their own eyes.)

Should America Ban The Burka?
Texas, do you want a Muslim Governor?

I find it funny that many sodaheads claim that they are patriots and yet wrongly accuse obama of some funny things.....the worst of such things is claiming that Obama is a muslim terrorist.
No true patriotic American will ever bow down to Islamic..Are you going to bow down to Islam? I say never What about you? Will you bow down?
Muslim Teaching of the day.
The Qur'an instructs Muslims to kill infidels, but also to terrorize infidels, and to leave survivors to spread the word of their brutal treatment at the hands of the Muslims....

I see people asking questions, that should not be construed as hate.. If you wish to accuse people of things you must have proof to back it up, in my eyes that is not proof of hating muslims but of someone wanting to see more into it than is truly there.. Understandable that it makes you upset that still does not mean people are hating muslims.
Your tired of psychos and yet I'm tired of psychos. When I was growing up as a young African American I had to suffer the stereotypes of the actions others of my skin complextion did and was constantly profiled by police. My mother brought this house in Panama City in 1990 one of the first to move to the newly deceloped area and these white girls pull up next to me and said I should move because I am lowering the mortgage value of their homes. They called me nigger. Yet I never done this to anyone white and I've even dated a few white girls.
When I was 19 I started reading the Bible and started seeing things in the Bible Old and New that where not practiced by many Christians study and study and study lead me to the study of Islam. Two years later I became a Muslim. A good human being i considered myself. I prayed I fasted asking for forgiveness, mercy, compassion from my Lord for my shortcomings. Looking to be a better man a God fearing man and yet on 9-11 these clowns did a most monstrous thing which devestated the entire world.
Now every single beautiful Muslim woman, every man and child is a terrorist or should be suspected of being one.
Its sad that they are doing this.
case in point:
"I hate Muslims. I don't want to admit it. so, I will claim that all Muslims hate me [America/non-Muslims/whatever category is most convenient to make my point.]"
WHENEVER someone paints with that broad a brush s/he is engaging in projection. it is ugly.
1] they are not.
2] if what you say WERE true, that would harm you -- how?
that is the difference.
I will admit some take it to far. Stereotypes are not always bad, they are a mechanism humans have for survival. If members of a certain group attack you it only makes sense to be skeptical of that group.
The left however seems to miss this connection. They are more interested in proving they are not stereotyping than in facing the reality that the terrorists are all muslim.
It seems we are racist if we identify terrorists as muslims but it is perfectly acceptable to tout the FBI arrests of Christian militia men.
if you identify ALL Muslims as terrorists, you fall into the broad-brush trap.
I have seen no one suggest that ALL Christians should be suspected of terrorism but there are many [and from your post, it seems you may be one] who say ALL Muslims are suspect.
extremism is the point. no specific religion or race or creed is composed only of extremists. to suggest otherwise is to parrot the Big Lie.
I did not identify all muslims as terrorists, I did however say that we should be skeptical. Not all militia members are terrorists but the justice department is skeptical.
I did not say all muslims were terrorists, thought the justice department says all militai members are terrorists, you paint with a broad brush when you refuse ti acknowledge my statements as opposed to refuting them.
I could just as easliy say you are parroting the big lie by denying the terrorists being muslim is significant.
to quote your response: "I think what those on the right are saying is it makes sense to be skeptical of muslims, as the terrorists are muslim."
your sentence is not true on its face.
the fact is that SOME terrorists are Muslim. just as SOME terrorists are Christian. I've even heard of Buddhists who are terrorists though, as a group, they are by far the least radical of all the religions except, possibly, the Wicca.
