There is nothing that has/had been offered that conflicts with what I proposed. Feel free to go check. Just be sure to include words I actually wrote. Oh, and it’s quite magnanimous for you to try to come to someone else’s defense when you seem unable to come to your own. As in the nonsense of yours that I pointed out in Post 126. ---

I have little doubt that the gentleman in the video’s motivation is to stop his religion from being hijacked. But correctly recognising one negative aspect doesn’t, unfortunetly, make one an expert. It’s not enough for someone to say, “hey, we have some problems, here”, and so earn everyone rallying around you. Simply being on the same team doesn’t mean you’re a good team player, if that makes any sense. **Der Trihs** is a fellow atheist, but he doesn’t really do “my” side any favours. And as a general point, I still hate the “You don’t just disagree with me; you have some ulterior motivation or flaw or unright-thinkingness which means you don’t” idea. It’s cheap. ---

I have never demonstrated any Political Correctness although I am sure that you would characterize any attempt to eschew xenophobia as “PC.” (I do thank you for propounding, earlier, that we need to be wary of the entire Right Wing of American politics so that we can avoid any more Yanks blowing up Federal Buildings, however.) ---

In case any one’s curious, we talk about our families, our pets, the weather, we say hello and how are you. We don’t talk about religion or politics. As far as I know they’re vegetarian, and they don’t drink or smoke. ( That’s what his cousin told me.) They’re great neighbors. They are the grandson, and his wife and child, of our former neighbors, senior citizens that relocated because of health issues. In other words, these muslims are not “they” or 'them" or “other”, they’re a continuation of a really nice family in my little neighborhood. ---

Newsflash: the guy in question _is_ an _actual_ Muslim. Imagine that! And discussing the myriad aspects of the religion is precisely what he’s doing.

> [@magellan01](#): > > Huh? Cite as to what the hell you’re talking about, please. It was rather obviously a reference to Timothy McVeigh, and pointing out that if some Muslims blowing things up means you should be terrified of all Muslims, then you should likewise be terrified of right wingers because some of them blow things up. But I’m sure you already knew that. ---
