Katt,
When I saw the anti-Semitic post a few days ago, I did not want to believe that someone on this board harbored those feelings . For I have met with the KKK, the White Areans, and other hate groups and when you ever meet those people, you will really know what "sick" means. I fought them for years in the school that I was a teacher in. I learned about their minds and how they operated. But I have corrosponded with Dr. Bob, and if you look at the previous posts you will see that he will not allow hate to be promulgated on this board. It takes at least one day for an internet moderator to be aware of the posts, unless they come up while he is on the posts. This delay is standard in the boards, for the nature of the moderator is that the posts will be a day behind. Dr. Bob, I assure you, will address this thread with the same impartiality as he adddressed my concerns.
I have fought for the rights of all peoples in a variety of situations and have been jailed on trumped up charges 3 times (I won them all). I have seen how people use peoples that are minorities, or out of favor with the majority. There are people that will try to elevate their own self-esteem by attacking the defensless and downtrodden. They usually do this when they feel that the ones that they are showing hate to are not able to defend themselves. They even feel that they are doing others a favor. They think that the minorities are "fair-game" and that they can do harm to them and be praised by others. I have been ganged up on by professionals and used as a scape-goat for their problems. In your case, the posters remarks, to me, are incitive to arrouse anti-Islamic feelings on this board, just like I felt that the poster that posted the link to the anti-Semitic web site was a vailed attempt to try to arrouse anti-Semitic feelings toward me. Now I gave the poster an opportunity to make a disclaimer that his intentions were not to do that, even thogh I thought that others could get that opinion. Now he did respond favorably and the issue has been resolved.
The statement that Islam is falling apart, to me is blatently anti-Islamic. The statement , to me, that a few bunker- busters... is outrageous also.
You do not have to be Islamic to feel what you feel. You do not have to be the peoples to feel the hurt of someone's hate to anyone. In my 7 Gates, there is a Nazi that helped the jews and refused to participate in the others hate. If he could refuse under the greatest of pressure, so could anyone.
