(10,786 posts)It just chaps your rear if anyone sees through this transparent attempt to foment tribal divisions, hatred, and warfare.
I don't defend any individuals of any religion (or non-religion) who use their religion or anyone else's religion to promote fear, hatred, bigotry, tribalism, violence, murder, genocide, or warfare.
I do defend all individuals of any religion (or non-religion) against those who seek to dehumanize them because of their race, creed, color, or sexuality.
I believe that the vast majority of Muslims, even those with bigoted beliefs, are decent human beings who are worthy of human rights, just as the vast majority of US fundamentalist Christians are, and just as the vast majority of Americans who supported the needless deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis are. Do you?
