> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > I vaguely sympathize with Ashen’s views, since I accept the remote possibility of modern pogroms. > > Just her views, though, not her childish behaviour. Okay, this is actually interesting. Why do you believe that pogroms are a realistic possibility, albeit a remote one? Anti-semitism seems pretty far outside the political mainstream in Western democracies. ---

> [@AshenLady](#): > > No one else uses their religion as an excuse for violence, nor would it be tolerated, why so does Islam get a pass? People have all kinds of vendettas, but they don’t use their religion to give it credence, only Islam does. Issues and problems have driven people to violence, but only Muslims do so, as an excuse to incite violence. It is the same god, is it not? ---

My favorite Ashenlady quotes are from [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=595317) thread: > [@](#): > > I don’t care if I’m called a bleeding heart liberal. I don’t think folks should go hungry in this country, in this day and age. She loves to play the victim card. Some of her links were hilarious if you actually bothered to go read them in the context of the discussion. I don’t think she is as Pit worthy as Le Jackass…more like a female version of gonzomax. Thought the racist aspects sort of put her on a different level than The Gonz (and she is more open about it than Le Jackass), so I think the Pitting is appropriate. -XT ---

> [@GiantRat](#): > > Oh noes! Maybe Israel should learn to take care of itself! In all fairness, the US gives shitloads of aid to LOTS of countries. Singling out Israel to take away aid would be sketchy. OTOH, Israel is one of the US’ primary aid recipients and a decent argument could be made that the US could reasonably reduce its aid to Israel. Buuuuut there are some complicated foreign policy reasons we give Israel that much aid. I’m uncaffeinated and need to go to work or I would go into them. But it’s pretty simplistic to say that Israel just learn to take care of itself. ---

I for one am deeply ashamed at the wholesale rejection of any and all Jews by the population of the United States of America. I mean, we keep them in ghettos and never let them hold any positions of influence or power. I mean, right? :dubious: ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > **AshenLady** : What people are objecting to is that you are saying if someone isn’t rabidly anti-Muslim then he must hate Jews. It’s that simple. Thanks John: I was in Israel in my teens and I was there for the Yom Kippur War in 1973. In fact, I almost just got to Israel in time for that war of aggression by the people of Egypt and their ruler. That being said, I suffered from PTSD, (not a victim, just a fact), having lost people I loved during that war. When Anwar Sadat was assassinated because he made peace with Israel, as well as whatever other factions were at play in Egypt, one cannot deny that there is an animosity between the two groups and that it goes back well before 1973. I hope that someday peace will prevail in the middle east. However, at this time, there are Arabs, many of them, who would like to do a “Daniel Pearl” on every Jew in the world. So long as this is the status quo, why would I not despise what Muslims do, in the name of Islam and for Muslims. “One cannot sit in the middle of traffic, because then you get hit by traffic on both sides”. > **[Myths & Facts -The Treatment of Jews in Arab/Islamic Countries](https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/myths-and-facts-the-treatment-of-jews-in-arab-islamic-countries)** > > Encyclopedia of Jewish and Israeli history, politics and culture, with biographies, statistics, articles and documents on topics from anti-Semitism to Zionism. ---

Your other posts have been bad enough, but if you can’t tell the difference between Arabs and Muslims, you really owe it to yourself to shut up. ---
