But the genocide being carried out as we speak is from the Islamic State, targeting Christians, gays, secularists, etc.

So it’s a bit, umm…weak sauce to throw insinuations out there in light of actual world events…

“Never mind those rapes, beheadings, and stonings there yonder, THAT guy has nefarious ideas in his MIND!”

[Moderating]  
Debates over how awful Islam is or is not are not appropriate for this thread. If you want to argue about that, find another thread to do it in.

> Yawn. No thanks. Not gonna play that game. You’re notorious for shifting goalposts (like demanding “no-one liners” above), tapdancing about whether you’re posting as a mod or not (see above–was that as a mod, in which case assume I just said “No thank you” or a poster?) and idiotically nit-picky digressions about non-relevant points to distract people from the fact that you’re losing arguments, so why bother wasting time on this board’s search engine? (Google won’t sort by forum, that’s why)

**Mod note**

**Fenris** , if the moderating on this board isn’t to your liking, you’re free to express your opinion, but we expect you to remain civil when you do so. With comments like “idiotically nit-picky digressions” you’re crossing the line into insults. No warning this time, but don’t do this again.
