If not Islam.. Persia and the Middle East are literally at the centre of history in a sense, surrounded by Europeans to the North, Slavs, then India and China to the East with Africa below. It's only natural that their land will be infringed on and they in turn infringe on other lands over history.. the edges have been points of conflict for millennia.

It's like that game Diplomacy.. being Germany was a pain given you were surrounded.

Any ideology that incites public disorder, violence, or hostility between citizens is extremism.

Long enough until they learn their lesson about what's acceptable to express in public. For those that persist however, and have significant power in society, you would want to destroy them politically by bankrupting them in a lawsuit.

Why would it only apply to Islam?

Washington Resistance Army wrote:What about extreme political positions like those on the far right and far left?
As I said, those that incite public disorder, violence, and hostility amongst citizens should be locked up. For example, communists advocating class war should be put in jail. The same should happen to fascists advocating race war.

In your eyes maybe.

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.

Islamic fundamentalism is the largest and deadliest form of terrorism in the world today, by a long shot. The appeal to not just Islamists, is pretty fallacious at this point.


Well, you would be mistaken if you thought I was making that appeal.

And pretending that it is something unrelated to Islamic terrorism doesn't either. It's probably a Jihadist attack, and no, that does not mean that all Muslims are Jihadists or even Islamists. The two positions are not mutually exclusive.

I'm not even pretending its something else.

Don't tend to trust random witness reports considering how freaking wrong people got it in the past.

You've said we should deport all muslims sarcastically more times than people have suggested it legitimately in this thread.

Not really, if you consider cultures then Persian/Arabian culture is at the centre given the landmass of Eurasia/Africa. They border all other cultures.

I usually give eyewitness reports more faith, but given how many times people have falsely said that someone said "allahu ackbar" or some pledge to ISIS or whatever, I'm not very confident in this report.
I want to improve.
