[Report] "Should Muslims be treated equally?"

Burleson 2 wrote:Even though the article is from the Onion, and obviously just satire, there's still a good amount of truth in it. All the recent terrorist attacks could have been prevented if muslims didn't have the same freedoms as other people. This may not be politically correct, but security should come long before political correctness. For example, measures to prevent muslims from owning firearms could have potentially prevented the Charlie Hebdo attack, and investigating muslims further before boarding flights (or just not allowing them on in the first place), could have prevented 9/11. Non-muslims are being needlessly subjected to excessive security measures because of the actions of muslims, which I find ridiculous. Of course, basic security measures should be taken for everyone, but let's face it, muslims are more likely to commit terrorist attacks.

So NSG, your opinion?


also there's the whole...

Well, 9/11 offended me.

Having posted in the thread I can't really rule on it. I don't honestly see the 9/11 comment as flame-bait. The topic is a serious one, and I'm sure Burleson is not the first person to have brought it up. Anyway, I'll raise a Mod Signal and get someone else in to adjudicate.

The subject is controversial, and it's attracting a lot of responses, but I'm not seeing it as flamebait per se. It's really an ideal example of people arguing well against a bad original argument.

Didn't want to create a new thread in moderation (you guys have enough on your plate), but there's a fella (or gal) making jokes (or not) about committing acts of terrorism:

viewtopic.php?p=23189305#p23189305

Not sure if it's reportable or not. But better safe than sorry.

Probably an ITG, but in case it's not might want to act fast:

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
