hot enough

Okay, you don't understand what Professor Chomsky is saying. But you can learn, if you have an open mind. Tough stuff for an evangelical or a rabid religious person of any stripe I know but it can be done.

More like the propaganda designating others as terrorists, [which has led to Islamophobia] when the US is far and away the leading terrorist nation/group of all time, Betsy. "The phrase 'war on terrorism' should always be used in quotes, cause there can't possibly be a war on terrorism, it's impossible. The reason is it's led by one of the worst terrorist states in the world, in fact it's led by the only state in the world which has been condemned by the highest international authorities for international terrorism, namely the World Court and Security Council, except that the US vetoed the resolution." - Noam Chomsky Okay, so we have the US, "he only state in the world which has been condemned by the highest international authorities for international terrorism", the US, the only state that has been condemned for the last quarter century by the UNGA [198-2] for its terrorism against Cuba, Can you not see the huge disconnect from reality? Muslims/radical Islam are simply the "commies" of old, which actually still works wonders on folks unable to think for themselves.

Again, please, Goddess, you went to university. The events happening - In a western country? in a Muslim country? I don't mean to be unkind but you discuss these things in the linear fashion the propaganda feeds to you. Now don't get upset, think. What did Osama bin Laden say as to why he went from being a US asset to someone fighting the US?

Right, so transplant yourself and your kin to any ghetto for thirty or forty generations for an eye opener.

Your video makes so many illogic assumptions that one can't possibly begin to discuss it, unless it is done as you would "discuss" it at evangelical church. "praise de lorde, he's the best, he's my savior, my misogynist lord, ... !

So is the Queen. Sadly she isn't so kind, warm and generous to the people of the world. She's religious too, is she not?

This is the god, this is the "morality" we choose to guide us in our actions. No wonder the world is in such a mess! “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Focus on the "love your neighbor as yourself" portion, Betsy, ... and BCS. Decent humans see thru the hate and the strong desire for revenge - needless, totally unwarranted revenge - while haters, be they Christians, atheists or agnostics, can't. They get swept up in these things that are not only unchristian, they are inhuman.

An excellent linguist, a terrible polemicist. Start a thread.

Defined as, "an often improper or illicit method of obtaining advantage; a salesman always looking for an angle" [M-W]

Very circular. It's easy to find out what Islamophobia is, Betsy, just check any dictionary, then read yours and other Islamophobes posts to see that you folks exhibit " irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against Islam or people who practice Islam" [M-W]. There's a constant drone of "we are being overrun, our lives are in danger, our culture is finished, ... " when a simple reality check, exactly what you folks avoid like the plague, reveals it's all "the sky is falling" nonsense. You were right when you said, "we don't know". That has been abundantly clear from the get go. People who really want to know do not avoid discussing the facts, which is exactly what Islamophobes do.

You certainly ought to know, Argus.

The implosion, the controlled demolition of WTC7 for those irrational many who still want to blame Muslims for something they could not have possibly done.

Does Miss "Now everyone stay on topic" always laugh heartily when she is in pain? Is this the pain of knowing you are living big lies?

Did this all come to you while you were writhing around on the floor at Sunday evangelical services, having a religious experience, Betsy? “That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything.” ― Noam Chomsky Does your entire congregation hope and pray for the annihilation of the Muslims at Sunday services or is this just your own fantasy?

You should get yourself much more up to speed on these topics. You know, the ones that you are terrified to address.

Correct. That has come from the over 70 illegal invasions by the USA and the theft of untold trillions of other people's wealth.

Sensible people would be too ashamed to advance such a ludicrous notion.

That is sadly all too typically ludicrous. Of course there is racism everywhere. As of now, they are not war crimes or terrorism unless that racism see actions, as it has in Iraq, Afghanistan and other ME countries, perpetrated by western nations. And obviously you seek to include yourself in that old whitey group.

More Argus pearls of wisdom. The history of the world for the last century puts the lie to your contentions. Justice doesn't entail hanging people because of weird predictions.

This from the guy who puts his fingers in his ears, stamps his feet and murmurs "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" so he doesn't have to address the realities. You celebrate the genocide, the illegal invasions, the murder of tens of millions, the deep evil by the most twisted logic imaginable.

These ancient tales are what you run to, a relatively new and typical right wing meme, to defend post WWII western genocide and illegal invasions. Your wisdom knows no bounds.

That is a perfect justification for the Holocaust and all the little holocausts. Congratulations, Argus. I applaud your wisdom.

4 million Muslims murdered. You don't really mean the above, do you?

This is what you went to university for, Goddess?
