kris feenstra replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"That was my answer on how to make it worse. Why would you be sorry about not making it worse? Although the problematic 'them' is violent ideologues and zealots. "

Virgil replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"My bad. I assumed everyone here was out of kindergarten. I didn't mean to scare children.
I thought the objective was to put an end to Islamic terrorism with the lowest death toll, least expense and in the shortest time.

Unseen replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Fear is a feeling, and feelings by their nature are not rational (logical). They come from a different mental place and are not the result of a series of syllogisms.
A fear, however, CAN be reasonable in the sense of understandable."
Gary Clouse replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Virgil
I've been wondering, as I suspect many others have, where did you aquire your extensive expert knowledge of Islam.
You make make assertions that we others are expected to accept unquestionably as true,…"
Gary Clouse replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Sounds a lot like Israel's policy toward Palestine, BUt you did leave out one important part:
Kill all the women and children to prevent future generations from being born.
You're advocating ethnic cleansing through mass…"
Davis Goodman replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Holy fucking shit Virgil. That is total lunacy. This is like the text of the unibomber mixed with Mein Kampf and a dash of Fred Phelps thrown in."

You become them.
Sorry, converting to Islam is not in the cards for me.
In a way, you have to get into the enemy's head to defeat them, and in doing so you, in a way, become them.
I was tempted to try…"
Virgil replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Well okay Kris... do you suggest we give them more open access to the entire globe?
You do realize that under Islam human rights as you and I know them do not exist, right? They have nothing but contempt for human rights, civil rights…"

Davis Goodman replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"I didn't say you've suggested all of this though your quarantine idea gives me the creeps to say the least. You've not suggested blanket bombing though you have said we should be "prepared for the possibility" of something…"
kris feenstra replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"That is literally a concentration camp, and metaphorically a quarantine."
Virgil replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Be accurate, Davis.
I said nothing about concentration camps.... I said *quarantine* as in isolate and disable, prevent contamination or spread. I don't recal ever saying anything about "blanket bombing" at least with anything…"
