What was the topic? I thought it was "world problems transplanted to America". Forgive me if I misinterpreted the topic.

Kick the muslims out

why would you write that?

it isn't witty, funny, useful, or even on topic...

"world problems transplanted by America" would be a far more interesting topic. 

glass houses, and whatnot.  this shit sounds like it's coming out of donald trump's mouth, JF.

[hutch]

So you stand by your statement about kicking out muslims, James Ford...

Just want to be clear.

[James Ford]

All i'm saying is there is no place in America for this shit.

My wife would say all Muslims, I would say radical Muslims.

the topic was transmissible diseases: ebola, enterovirus and the mosquito virus.  first is from africa, second is global (although you could say this outbreak is "native north american"), the other is from the caribbean.  

not sure how muslims fit into this, but congrats on seizing the opportunity to say something uninformed and overly generalized.  reza aslan has a few thoughts on this: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2014/09/30/cnn-tonight-reza-aslan-bill-maher.cnn.html

they why don't you say that?  equating all muslims as extremists is stupid.

not all muslims adhere or even support that.  it's a small but visible minority that do.

some christians shoot doctors.  are all christians murdering terrorists?

[James Ford]

Have you read the Koran verses about destroying the infidel? Do more moderate Muslims reject that part of the Koran?

How many Christians have shot doctors vs. how many Muslims dress like that?

I'm all for getting rid of Christians who shoot doctors as well.

you're walking it back James Ford.

You wrote something you should be ashamed of

and a woman who wears the purdah is hardly a "radical muslim"!

I am not sure how much prejudiced bigoted hate speech the moderators of this boards should tolerate...

[i am gay and i like cats]

i, enjoy, good threads

[James Ford]

Surely you would agree that requiring a woman to dress like that is "radical", and that there is no place for that kind of shit here in a progressive country where women and men are equals?

What hutch said...

[sweetcell]

the bible has plenty of passages about slavery, stoning adulterers, klling your enemies, etc.

there are lots of burka-wearers in Saudi Arabia or taliban-controlled Afghanistan; but there are a billion more that don't in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh... not to count the ~3 million muslims in the U.S.  

listen, i'm no fan or radical islam and if they tell me that my wife and daughter need to start wearing a tent, i'm taking up arms.  but until that happens, it's stupid and bigoted to paint all members of a religion based on a small militant minority.

check out that CNN video i linked above.  you're coming across like the CNN hosts (but maybe you don't see what's wrong with what they're saying...)

[James Ford]

What exactly did I say that was hateful?

Surely, there are many Muslims that are saying much more hateful things toward Americans than anything I said.

100% agreed!  no place for that here.

but kicking out 3 million law-abiding citizens because a few thousand practice that is asinine.

sure, and we're jump on them for posting it here, too.
