In some Muslim countries over 90% of the population believes Sharia Law should be the official law of the land. Even in more liberal areas, outside of the West, it’s still well over 50%. That means that a lot of these people are fleeing terrible conditions in their homeland, but they are likely bringing a horribly oppressive ideology along with…[Read more]

The difference is that you have people, who are trying to combat the ideology itself and the tenets that have fueled terrorism, being cast as bigots and racists simply for broaching the topic. I mentioned Sam Harris earlier. He is pretty far left, but he has been castigated by many prominent liberals for his views on Islam. I have never once heard…[Read more]

Completely agree. The religious right deserves every bit of flack it receives, and these ridiculous “religious freedom” bills are nothing more than bigotry cloaked in faith. This Christian persecution complex that has reared its head in recent years has become increasingly dangerous to the rest of us.

Liberals tend to demonize people who criticize Islam, even other liberals (see Sam Harris and Bill Maher vs Ben Affleck). Many of these same folks excoriate Christians at every turn. So, yes, on the left it is far less acceptable to mock Muslims than Christians. Maybe it’s a reflexive reaction to the bigotry of the far right, but it most certainly…[Read more]

I’d then bring in women and children and the elderly and other at risk groups (LGBT, etc).

You made this statement the other day, and I still don’t fully understand your position. So, we leave behind the families where a husband/father is still present? How is that humane?

Then, let them choose what way of life they want: A good, Christian, successful life, or the short life of a terrorist.

So, these are our only options? I suppose I’m a terrorist. I think I know what you’re getting at, but I find it pretty off-putting when people assume being a Christian is superior to adhering to a different set of religious…[Read more]

It’s not a viable solution. Other sites have tried it and they didn’t exactly flourish. The people that complain about political talk are typically of the same cloth from what I’ve seen, so I think it has to do more with the fact that UFn leaned left than them actually being bothered by political discourse. We should do a simple experiment where…[Read more]

Rather than respond in the thread I started, you start a whole new thread, then ignore me so you don’t have to see my response? There’s a word for that kind of move, but for the sake of civility I will avoid using it here.

NYPD (New York Pizza Department). I don’t think the ones in Utah are related to the ones out here in AZ, but if they are then there you go. I’m pretty plain, normally go with pepperoni (although supreme ain’t bad). Usually hate sausage, but they actually have really good sausage pizza as well.
