Then if a Fundamental baptist is sterotypical of every baptist out there!

What's your point?

And your violations are more referring to calling people names like retarted and your constant use of strong language and I'm the biggest swearer on this board and I haven't used some of those words

But amoona, the people who perpetrated the attacks in question, the people who carried (and are carrying) out the attacks against the American people both CONUS and OCONUS are Islamic Fundamentalists.
I did not call you an Islamic Fundamentalist. If you identify with that 'stereotype' then perhaps you may need to reevaluate your stance personally, but that is not for me to say as I do not know you.
It is, however, according to any evidence ever presented true, fair, and correct to say that the people being discussed earlier in the thread ARE IN FACT Islamic Fundamentalists.

Television news isn't exactly reliable either.
You dont' have to go to a news outlet, you can find other forms of media, including articles, editorials, even wikipedia!!

Can you not read-I'm asking you to give me 3 SOURCES.

Thats ONE

Seems to me you are only aware of what one news channel says. It seems to me that you truely are not aware of what is going on because you cannot give me three sources. You cannot tell me how these two organizations supposidly help people. You just keep telling me to watch a news channel.

Which obviously you don't do that much yourself or you would know that the American people knew about the rapes and we are aware of what goes on in our military. Are you that vehement against the US that you cannot even watch our NEWS stations and be aware of what is going on in the country in which you are visiting?

Noted.

Nobody is going to throw you off but we are telling you that you have to obey what everyone else on this board obeys with is the TOS.

That's all we're telling you.

 

[Hawkeye]

And Amoona I should note to you that I have had 3 people PM me with at least 3 sources as to why hamas and hezbollah are humanitarians.

If I can have 3 people do this simple task why can't you?

 

[amoona]

like i said earlier, the american sterotype of muslims is that we're all fundamentalists. when you use that word it offends muslims. but you guys don't care ... ur concerned with me saying retard haha. which is y i keep saying this is bullshit because you already have your sterotypes and your beloved profiling of us.

no muslim people are not safer in this country, we're more in danger. and using phrases like islamic fundamentalists for what you think is the true meaning is what keeps us in danger. all those actions that were stated were mostly all a direct result of the us and their involvement with israel's attack on the muslim world.

Fundamentalists are a certain sect of a religion. Not all Baptists are Fundamental Baptists, nor are all Muslims fundamentals.

Some people do group them all together, ie. saying all Muslims are fundamental Muslims, which is incorrect. However, there are fundamentalists that exist.

Let's keep it from being over the top guys.

I'd like to see the discussion unfold in a peaceful and educational manner as well.

 

[*Stargazer*]

I have never, in my life, EVER heard a Muslim (and I know many) say that the phrase "Islamic fundamentalism" is offensive.

 

[Hawkeye]

Oh lord, I dont know if I've ever laughed this hard in a thread. Next thing we know we'll get Kermit going off about how we're all being racist profilers because he's a green frog. LOL

 

[amoona]

i do have more then one source but none of them are online sources. what can you not understand about that? i've lived there, i know people that live or have lived there. i watch multiple arab news outlets. i continue to state al-jazeera because they are the most well known.

to being with i told you if you wanted direct sources talk to people who have lived it. i informed you what they did as far as humanitarian aid but that wasn't good enough for you so i'm not goin to bend over backwards to research it for you. the most reliable source is people who live it, me being one of them. i was not reliable enough for you so you can go find your own sources.

 

[amoona]

we'll i'm a muslim and i'm saying i'm offended by that. but none of you care. it's a funny joke. so you CAN go profile kermit if you want. thanks for putting muslims and arabs on a puppets level.
