bush_cheney2004 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Except it's America's first Muslim comedy festival hoping to combat Islamophobia and racism. Not a big deal for you but perhaps for the muslim community. Nope...it's old news. Like this documentary from a few years ago. Perhaps it is new to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muslims_Are_Coming! Edited July 19, 2015 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

bush_cheney2004 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Except this is not a muslim comedy festival. Do you see the difference? Probably not. Muslim Americans can have comedy festivals if they wish....just like anybody else. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Guest Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Exactly why they need these type of events to fight against the disguisting racism displayed by folks like you. How is that racism? Do you think the number of Islamic nutjobs who would love to walk down Fifth Avenue with a nuke in their toolbelt is zero? Quote
Canada_First Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Exactly why they need these type of events to fight against the disguisting racism displayed by folks like you. Since when are Muslims a race? Quote
Boges Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Since when are Muslims a race? This. Are we talking Arabs here? Muslims in Indonesia? Africa? Persians? Indians? And I reckon everyone here would find a Christian Comedy Festival probably the worst thing ever. I know I would. Edited July 20, 2015 by Boges Quote
AngusThermopyle Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Since when are Muslims a race? I wondered that as well when I saw the comment. Just more gratuitous and incorrect use of the R word to stifle discussion. Typical and irrelevant, as usual. Quote I yam what I yam - Popeye
Shady Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Damn, I thought this was an event where you can make fun of Islam without fearing death. Quote

WIP Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 this isn't exactly new. It seems to me that Dean Obeidallah was one of the organizers and headliners of the "Axis of Evil" comedy tour that ran about 10 years ago.

Or this woman who lives in mecca: She must be a racist. Meanwhile, combating 'manspreading' and making sure that males make up less that 40% of university students is a far more pressing concern for today's modern 'feminists'.

BC_chick Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Disliking Muslims isn't "racism" because they're not a race and "Islamaphobia" is left-wing drivel with no basis in reality. ... so say people who don't like Muslims.

Guest Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) And people who just don't like some of them. Trying to explain to a liberal that you can be thoroughly disgusted by the barbaric behaviour and customs of some Muslims while not giving a hoot what the rest are up to is like trying to come up with a one line solution to Fermat's last theorum. It might be possible, but no-ones been able to do it yet. Edited July 21, 2015 by bcsapper Quote

Well, that's nice, but the point I was making seems to have gone a bit over your head. As Canada First first implied and many others quickly agreed, racism is not the correct term to refer to sentiments such as yours, yet the proper term which would be more encompassing is also rejected. In other words, it's a whole lot of arguing semantics. But sure, now that you've voiced your opinion, please go ahead an tell me how your feeling of cultural superiority and disdain isn't really 'phobia' or 'racism' because you don't hate ALL Muslims. <rolling eyes> Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history.

-1=e^ipi Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 I don't think people should be killed for apostasy or homosexuality. I guess this makes me an 'Islamophobe'. Trying to explain to a liberal I think the correct term is progressive. Liberals like Bill Maher get it. Quote

Christaphobic? They don't hold views anywhere nearly as harsh as many in the fundamentalist Islam community. Edited July 21, 2015 by Boges Quote
