Yeah. It’s called “Squall Line” or something. 😉

I appreciate you “liberals” are in denial but I’ll stress again: The 12 days to become “radicalised” claim is a quote from a Government (UK) expert on radicalisation.
If you don’t like it children, take it up with the expert.

For all we know, it could be Cloth-a-hump with a new angle.
ETA: given that last post, I’m not sure it isn’t.

That’s sad that he got a nice username. Oh well.

I’m curious about the psychology of Sam Harris types like this. Their posture is inevitably one of intense smugness. Why should that be? There are lots of ignorant people who believe all kind of xenophobic bullshit. They are not all smug. But this corner of xenophobia is almost always manifested as “you’re all sheeple and if you just listened to the right people you’d know better.” Why should that be?

I’m still hopeful that my Get a Troll Laid Foundation will be able to make a difference in many unfortunate lives. Show them that there are better avenues for their frustration than serial sockpuppetry, a dank basement and a crusty keyboard. It’s just going to take a lot of crowdfunding and some very undiscerning prostitutes.

Poor effort. Usually you guys use the “so-called” quote marks more, in order to show your disdain. You only had two sets in that entire post. Please try to do better in the future.

White and bigoted? But who would you hate then? Or will you go for ever whiter shades of pale?

No. For mankind. If only the world (and not just the Muslim world) were more like I, it would be infinitely more tolerant and just.

The twerp thinks I’m a liberal. What more proof do you need he’s not rational?

If today’s liberals were transported back in time to 1939, they’d run around like a bunch of ignoramuses like they usually do, except they’d be calling everybody Naziphobes.
Islamophobia is a BS term used by defenders of terrorism, liberals, the PC police and by terrorists themselves.
It is the most natural thing in the world to be highly skeptical of a so-called religion that has a very large number of extremely violent members. A religion that is at conflict with the entire civilized world.
The less Islam in the world = a better world.

You got a cite for that quote?

Well then let’s start with the violent extremist so-called “Christians” in our own nation who bomb federal buildings and abortion clinics. They’re a lot bigger threat to us than Islam.
After all, these are the same fuckers who work hard to deny women and minorities the same rights as everyone else.
