Don't want to quote all of rostasi's post, but just want to say well argued and written, as ever. As was the post by riseagainstrocks. However...

Other religions may be equally illogical, but they don't represent an existential threat to modern civilisation.

Sounds idiotic when you put it in a different context huh.

So we should hate and persecute all steel workers. They're scumbags bent on our destruction. I hear ya.

Lefties love to make up these so-called "racist" villains out of thin air when there really any to be found as far as I can tell.
And this is coming from a pretty privileged young male Beaner.

JTF I hate to break it to you but there is more to racism that white/black you know. What's being spoken of here is most certainly racism, and bigotry and hatred.

But say you hate Islam or even criticise Islam and they will respond with those arguments, as if you are smearing every single Muslim person 
People who mean well, but are arguing against things that weren't posted. I think Ben Affleck might have stole Chula's log in.
*or however many it is ffs |
You're allowed to hate religion. I hate religion and I would not defend it. What I have a problem with, obviously, is using the fact that someone follows a particular faith to extrapolate from that that they are a potential terrorist, and that their religion should be banned in a country, in this case China, which is what started this all off. Occulthawk says this is not what he's saying, but his posts and his attitude and his anger and his refusal to see both sides of the story betray that. He's a bigot, plain and simple, and wants to impose, through proxy, his bigotry on people he has never met.
