The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Attention Muslims of Mali:

You are invaded and killed by Hollande and France.


I see. So the terrorists in Mali who were committing genocide.....killing huge numbers of innocent men, women, and children.....in their attempt to bring the northern part of Mali under their own control.....you find that okay. And the support that France provided to help bring this to an end is not okay.

And I assume that those who are against the militant Islamist violence in other African countries, like Somalia, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger and others.....are also guilty of Islamophobia. And the jury that just gave a life sentence to the self-admitted Islamic terrorist who drove his truck onto the pedestrian path by the Hudson River....a 10-minute walk from where I live.....and gleefully killed and maimed many he purposefully rammed into.....those jury members are simply Islamaphobes too.

Islamaphobes certainly exist. And they were highly and frighteningly vocal after the World Trade Centers (also not far from where I live) were attacked and so many lives lost. But there is no value in applying this label where it doesn't belong. You are simply showing your own rigidly skewed views.

And for me, this is the end of this interchange.
