[Hi](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19983391&postcount=21), [Jefferson](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19993240&postcount=116).
I especially like that it only took him nine days after registering to toss out this fun “fact”:
> [@I don't like Islam](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-dont-like-islam/779277/116):
>
> it takes as little as 12 days to turn a “moderate Muslim” into a terrorist).
Of course, that was just an afterthought (apparently) to this stupidity posted four days after registering:
> [@Islamophobia follows from observing Islam-majority nations](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/islamophobia-follows-from-observing-islam-majority-nations/779229/21):
>
> We really should stop using the silly term “Islamophobic”. A phobia is an irrational fear or dislike of something. There is nothing irrational about disliking Islam and the culture that usually goes with it.
So, basically we have a [del]jackass[/del] bigot who thinks that all Muslims are prone to be terrorists and Muslims usually share one culture. I think someone’s been doing dope and just tripped onto this site.

Welcome, bigot. Enjoy a life of hatred, and go fuck a cactus.

Ah, you’re too kind. Personally, I don’t care if he enjoys that life or not.

Before his banning, the only pressing issue is… What Jefferson?
The founding father, the confederate leader, the TV show character or the Airplane?
My bet is on the [Airplane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0)…

Is there a Bigot Machine somewhere that emits these things? It’s seems like it spits one out every couple weeks or so, and they all sound exactly the same.

There sure as hell is. A few years ago it made an obese one with orange skin and a combover and installed it on twitter.

Twelve days to turn a moderate into a terrorist eh? Actually, under the right circumstances, I’m sure that could be the case.
Those circumstances potentially being:
Vilifying you or your family because of your religious beliefs or country of origin.
Denying basic goods and services to you or a member of your family because of your religious beliefs or country of origin.
Deporting you or a member of your family because of your religious beliefs or country of origin.
Yeah, under the right circumstances, I reckon I could be a terrorist too. Of course, the definition of ‘terrorist’ under those circumstances might be up for debate…

This might be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read and I read about half of The Da Vinci Code and about 20 pages of Twilight.
I just keep staring at it. I even went to the original post and hoped some context would help; it didn’t.

I don’t believe we’ve met, **Jefferson**.
Welcome to the SDMB.
Now, FUCK OFF.

I had thought the name was referring to our new Attorney General, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. In fact, are we sure it’s not actually him? The bigotry seems to match.

I appreciate “liberals” like to use the bigot card but what utter, utter nonsense. The 12 days to become “radicalised” is a quote from a Government (UK) expert on radicalisation. And not being a fan of Islam and the culture that comes with it is perfectly rational.
I didn’t say all Muslims are the same - I’ve already mentioned Maajid Nawaz, an expert on this Islamic issue. You should listen to him sometime. You might just learn something and take your ignorant blinkers off.
