I dunno. I didn’t go around being especially nice to Christians when we bombed Serbia.
Tisk, tisk, tisk. I thought liberals were supposed to be open-minded and tolerant?
When did I say I was being persecuted?
Sure, they deserve equal rights under the law. But they do not deserve special rights.
My troops aren’t killing anyone in Iraq. Alde’s signal to noise ration was so low you had to dig to find the fuckin thing.
But maybe you’re right, maybe Aldebaran was worth two of her.
Yeah, really tacky.
Bosda, while I agree that Aldebaran was worth ten of her, I disagree that the US has killed her fellow Muslims, any more than the Inquisition killed Starhawk’s fellow witches. She appears to be part of a nasty cult masquerading as Muslim, appears to share very little in common with the civilian victims of the US invasion.

And what special rights might that be?
The right not to be ridiculed, abused and to create a legal bond with the love of your life.
Ilk, indeed. :wally
A. Where on earth did you get the idea that I’m a liberal?
B. “Open-minded and tolerant” means allowing everyone to have their say freely, not that one must approve of what is said. I totally support your right to freedom of expression, while at the same time noting that what you say is stupid and bigoted.
Hmm, I don’t know if you have, but your sort (i.e. brainless fundies) certainly makes that claim in ther tracts and their amicus briefs against equal rights for gay people.
We don’t want any “special rights”, just the same ones you enjoy. So can I mark you down as being for marriage rights for gay people?
This is, well, bullshit. I read that thread, and tried really hard to find a “legal” way of telling her what I really thought about her. Impossible, I decided. I’d get myself banned. Perhaps some of us bother to debate other theists we encounter here because, despite it all, we don’t find them beneath contempt.
Does EVERY fucking thread need to involve Iraq?
Is Aldebaran some sort of fucking martyr the man posted blatantly anti-semetic lies from his ‘files’. A board fighting ignorance does not have a place for someone with made up bigotted quotes in their files. This is exactly what Liberal is talking about he got a pass for his lies and beligerant behavior becuase he offered a ‘unique’ viewpoint. The man is a bigot and this board is better off without him.
We’re sorely lacking fundamentalist muslims, on this board. So I wouldn’t want to scare her away before she could answer posters’ questions, if she were genuine.
However, I’m not really convinced she’s genuine. And that’s another reason why I do not intend to attack her comments. I wouldn’t want to feed the…thread.
And by the way…Aldebaran got banned???
She’s following the rules, something Aldebaran, sadly, failed to do.
Then why on earth, isn’t Sarah W banned?
I think she is much more dangerous than Aldebaran ever was.
I thought he actually had some good points, and didn’t agree with his banning at all.
Who the hell said they did, fucktard?
“Sorely lacking fundamentalist muslims”? Are we short on 88ers too? Perhaps we could throw up a big broad welcome to all groups of hate filled murderers, so long as they are not white men or christians.
Not true, we’ve tarred and feathered some bigoted white women too.
Read here.
I wonder what Aldebaran would have had to say to her. I suspect it would have been less than kind.
As a (fairly) devout Muslim myself, I actually winced when I read some of her posts. I honestly don’t know if she’s for real, or if she’s just a disillusioned kid who turned to an extreme branch of the faith in her search for anwers. Maybe the whole thing is a hoax, maybe not, but please let it be duly notred for the record that I don’t share many of her views.
My ilk? And now I’m brainless? And I’m brainless – why? Because I don’t agree with your opinions?
Sure, I couldn’t care less if gays get married. And while we’re on the subject, I don’t think the government should issue marriage licenses. The government should have nothing to do with marriage.

Heh. I do this little “yessss!” fist-pump whenever some tweaker comes on and they’re not an atheist, or a Democrat, or a gamer, or whatever. I understand, and sympathize.
But I think she’s for real: she knows too much about Islam to be fakin it, I think. If she’s a hoax, she’s one of the more brilliant hoaxes I’ve seen. Looks far more like the disillusioned kid you talked about who’s been sucked into a nasty cult.

Then it’s a shame. All my life I’ve grown up around successful, educated, confident and moderate Muslim women (my fiancee included), but it’s people like Sarah W who end up posting here and inviting everyone to examine her extreme views. :rolleyes: I’m glad she converted, but I really hope she starts hanging around with less scary people and finds her way to a happier, warmer version of Islam.
