Oh yeah, I’ve been tied up responding to the blinkered, ignorant and hate-filled, totalitarian Left-wing mob.

It was a Government expert on terrorism and radicalisation on a documentary a few years ago. “Liberals” wouldn’t be so clueless on this sort of issue if they at least watched them. There have been some excellent ones over the last ten years including ones covering the parallel lives of Muslims and Muslim hate schools.

But they avoid them and remain ignorant.

OK, so some members of this US-centered board have never seen some British documentary you think you saw some years ago, featuring a government official you can’t name, but we’re supposed to somehow know exactly what the hell you are blathering about.

Also, why is “liberals” in quotes?

This guy’s not for real, folks. You can safely ignore him.

Oh, look, our new resident Muslim hater, liberal hater, all-around raving bigot, and borderline illiterate [is now opining on the anti-abortion theme](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819019&page=2), no surprise, and we can probably throw “misogynist” into the mix.

My younger brother, way back when we were teens, commented on films purportedly based on reality:

Well, I’ll be sure to watch “a documentary a few years ago” just as soon as time permits.

Hey, this guy’s entertaining. Can we keep him?

Sure, he doesn’t “speak” so “good”, and he doesn’t understand “cites”, but he’s fun to poke. I say we make him our anti-mascot, keep him here in the Pit, and tell him to fuck off regularly. Hours of entertainment. 😃

If the world’s Muslims were as liberal as I things would be immeasurably better for all.

If you were as decent a person as the vast majority of the Muslims I’ve spoken to, worked with, and served in the military with, then things would be immeasurably better for everyone around you.

Absolutely. But, of course, you know our new bigot will say those Muslims you and I served with are not real Muslims or just ignored for the moment their religion.

I was simply pointing out that I’d been engaged in giving our less bright members further help in understanding the issues. You appear not to understand what a documentary is - best ask your dad or teacher to explain.

The military does a good job of revealing the true nature of people. I doubt cowards like you would have any idea about that, though – bigoted cowards generally don’t do well in the military.
