Post 9/11, there was the beginning of a similar backlash against Muslims. But what exacerbated it and raised it to a fever pitch was too many people vocally defending Islam INSTEAD OF criticizing the terrorists who pulled off the attack, supposedly inspired by Islam. Instead of a majority of Muslims honestly admitting that there exist at least SOME Muslims who hold views that are toxic to rest of modern society, we were lectured about Islam being a religion of peace…when MOST EVIDENTLY there existed a faction that were murderous terrorists.philip964 wrote: Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:03 pm https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 211197007/

The Caucasian Chicago man who stabbed the Palestinian boy to death, needs to be drawn and quartered, (after a trial by his peers) even if he is crazy as a loon. Not guilty by reason of insanity to me is a crock.The Annoyed Man wrote: Thu Oct 19, 2023 5:11 pmPost 9/11, there was the beginning of a similar backlash against Muslims.

Admitting that some subset of the thing that you cherish and hold dear is infected with evil is a very difficult thing. Cristians of all stripes have been known to react this way when Christianity is criticized by non-believers for the excesses of the medieval Catholic Church. That is why post 9/11, many Muslims were unable to publicly admit that at least SOME Muslims were evil.
And that is what is happening today with the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict. There is absolutely no questioning the FACT that HAMAS initiated this attack, and that they did so not only with no regard for how many Israelis they killed—in fact, the goal was to kill as many civilians as possible…it’s what terrorists do—but also with no regard for the Palestinian noncombatants that would certainly be killed in an Israeli reprisal…which they HAD to know would happen. There’s a whole lot of finger pointing by Palestinian supporters, and very few mea culpas.
But the Palestinians did succeed in one goal (actually, it was an Iranian goal executed through a Palestinian proxy), and that was to derail the impending trade deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia—which had the long term goal of establishing an alternative path from east to west to China’s "Belts and Roads" initiative. Iran would benefit from both the Belts and Roads project, AND from at least partially isolating the Saudis from it. Iran believes that a weakened Saudi Arabia is in Iran’s best interests…and visa versa…the Saudis believe the same about a weakened Iran.
…and this is only PART of the situation's complexity…
But the bottom line is that Israel, like any other nation state, has an absolute right to exist; and the Palestinians are absolutely dedicated to eradicating Israel. It’s in their organizing charter. All that would be necessary for peace to prevail would be for the Palestinians to renounce their desire to eradicate Israel. Relations could then eventually be normalized, and Palestinians could more easily access the Israeli economic engine—which could in turn jumpstart their own economic engine.
And then we could stop sending billions of taxpayer dollars to both parties.
The last thing that bothers me is what the mainstream media and the other leftist loons call me. Deplorable, racist, bigot..ho hum.
You are absolutely correct and, even as a Christian myself, I understand that. But the element of society which is either both atheist and leftist, or Muslim and leftist, tends not to be able to make that distinction. The reason they refuse to make that distinction isn’t so much because they are either ignorant of history or just dense; it’s because to acknowledge that distinction would require disallowing their chosen narratives.wheelgun1958 wrote: Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:14 pm The inquisition was 4-500 years ago and no longer practiced.

We are thankful for small things.

Relative of leftist journalist in America. Wouldn’t want that to lead to bad press.
Civilians shouldn’t be targeted murdered and kidnapped in in the first place.
