Ah, you mean like the tolerant and enlightened people who said earlier she should get a “slap upside her head”, and her “ass kicked”, for spouting off such moronic nonsense? Wait a second, I think I can find some gasoline, anyone got a tire to stick around her neck so we can light her up?
Maybe some people should try and develop thicker skins and not worry about what ignorant peasants say to them so much.
Actually, I’d like to think that if I was being violently attacked that a passing policeman would stop it, or that I’d have some legal recourse after, or that the possibility of either would discourage my attackers from actually killing and hopefully limit their number. So, yeah, I’d care a lot about my government’s involvement.
Okay, which Muslim countries do you think its conducive to a long happy life to admit homosexuality in?
Could we please drop the “not all Germans are Nazis” line of argument from all threads henceforth? Germans are not Nazis today because they lost the war in 1945 and had their noses rubbed in the Holocaust. But in from 1933 to 1945, the vast majority of non-Communist, non-Jewish Germans were Nazis–read Daniel Goldhagen’s Hitler’s Willing Executioners. The Germans, as a nation, were collectively responsible for gassing and incinerating millionsof innocent men, women, and children.
And don’t give me “But Uncle Horst didn’t know about the camps”–yes, he did. The Germans knew what was going on, what had happened to their neighbors, what “resettlement to the East” really meant.
So let us drop that line of reasoning. In that time and that place, an entire nation, with a few notable exceptions like Oskar Schindler, was guilty of murder.
Oh, and re: the OP. No Somali bitch is goping to come into MY country and tell ME that I’m unfit to live. She had better learn to keep her fucking garbage to herself or go back home and starve.
So, you are recomending ‘bitch slap’ with oak leaf clusters? :eek:
Well, it would be swell if the SB (Somali bitch) would learn to love the ethnic and cultural diversity that is America and to appreciate the joie de vivre her gay neighbors provide. If she wants to be one of the gang and make a new life for herself here, she is very welcome to. If she can’t let go of her religious homophobia then she is free to go home. We already have enough bigots here, we have no need to import more.
A quick update: My neighbor doesn’t want to pursue it any further. And it’s his choice, really, as I didn’t see the incident. There are other reasons why they want to move.
And really the same goes for me, I think the apartment is way too small. I’ve too much junk. I’m looking for houses now.
Do you have any basis at all for believing that her homophobia is related to her religion? Did she mention any about Islam, God, the Koran, or religious leaders in justifying her statement? Once again: Not all Muslims are homophobes, and it is bigoted to think they are.
And another thing: Can “Somali bitch” be interpreted as anything other than an ethnic slur?
Let’s see–she’s Somali and she’s a bitch, hence, “Somali bitch”. Frankly, naughty namecalling pales next to death threats, don’t you think? If she were from California, I’d call her a California bitch.
Just the ones who behead the gay folks after Friday services in Saudi. And no, religion wasn’t mentioned, but I’ll bet you a cotton-eyed Joe to a damned if I know that if you asked her, she’d mention religion as a reason for her hate.
People who hate me get hated back. Fuck her.
I don’t really think you can defend the position that Islam !=homophobia. I’m sitting in Riyadh now where there is definately the “rule of law” and homosexual males are executed whenever possible. Egypt is another spot where they imprison them. Also, lets not forget Iran and our dear friends the Taliban. It seems that anywhere we have a large group of hardcore believers in the “Religion of Peace” [sup] TM[/sup] we also get persecution of homosexuals, stoning of unwed mothers, death penalty for adulterous wives, and other fine barbarisms. Fundamentalist Islam seems completely incompatible with modern (Western) life.
Testy.
