I'm not sure if I ever posted my thoughts on this subject, but as the Muslim population started increasing here it always seemed obvious to me that eventually they'd start getting elected to office and accumulating enough wealth in business to start buying corrupt politicians. I knew that was eventually going to change the politics in the US and create more conflict when it comes to our relationship with Israel and the Palestinian situation.

This is the downside of the melting pot.

Most human beings still identify themselves on at least some level by skin color, race, religion, ethnic background, country of origin, etc... The kumbaya version of humanity where everyone gets along applies to a large percentage of the people, but that small percentage of the remainder can cause a lot of grief and conflict. This kind of stuff is going to grow rapidly along with the population of Muslims that are pro Palestinian.

Don't understand why I was made an example of what you deem as bigoted in my past posting. Only you and a few here on the far left seemed to take issue with it perhaps because there was a lot more truth in it than any form of bigotry.
Your issues with me were more of a personal nature than my political views or position on race. You never liked me because you know full well I'm right about a lot I comment on, it just doesn't sit well with your way of thinking or perhaps contradicted the gist of a few of your own post.
All said...I could care less about what you and Eli squabble about. I'd almost stopped looking at the thread any longer because it turned into thread about you two more than the topic.
Just try and leave my name out of whatever problems you're having with another member, please. I can see members doing it for whatever reasons with other members occasionally, but being in charge and having all the tools sort of holds you to a higher standard...imo.

There are options.

I'm not responding to anymore of Margie's rationalizations. I'm sure the last post is a doozy and probably does more to confirm suspicions than not.
Hmmm...never stopped you before (responding to doozies that is). I wonder what changed.

Just because you can practice a religion peacefully doesn’t make it a religion of peace.
