- False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which two opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not.whatthefunk
- This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.whatthefunk
- Is there something so bad about reaching out to the other side? Islam is almost 2 billion people not just SA and Iran.yuekit
- Depends whose side you're supporting. While US soldiers, innocent women and children are getting killed on the front...omg
- 'solidarity with the muslim community' lolterry_cloth
- ...you'd rather let them in to kill, fuck, run over, blow up people from the back. While cuddling your feelings and preventing protection for Americans.omg
- omg/t_c, do you know or are friends with anyone who is Muslim?whatthefunk
- One of my closest boys is from Pakistan/ India. I even attended and was invited to one of their Muslim ceremonies.omg
- I showed respect as they looked down on me for not attending the daily prayer in the nearby mosque.omg
- do you classify him as terrorist?whatthefunk
- yea, they are second generation muslims who assimilated into western society and let fade away the medieval customs of their parentsterry_cloth
- Not at all.omg
- and the countries they left behindterry_cloth
- do you fear him and his family as people who may blow you up from the back?whatthefunk
- strike that last question. So, you are friends with a 1st generation American born to Paki/Indian parents though he still prays...whatthefunk
- Personally no.omg
- Did you forget to change accounts when you answered?whatthefunk
- t_c: do you perceive them as terrorists?whatthefunk
- omg: if you know a Muslim who's isn't radical, how can you generalize ALL muslims as radical?whatthefunk
- he doesn't actually pray.omg
- I don't.omg
- 'them' who? the muslim buddy i grew up with teaches at MIT, his father and my father co-coached our youth soccer team. your attempts to paint me as a racist areterry_cloth

- t_c: homophobic, not against hobophobicwhatthefunk
- omg: does he identify as Muslim or he just does family stuff but he's non practicing (eats pork, doesn't pray, etc.)whatthefunk
- it never came upterry_cloth
- No pork, no pray, no drink. Identifies as Muslim I think as a complicated issue. Possibly with Hindu roots involved.omg
- omg: gotcha, are you willing to admit there might be millions of other Muslims like your bro who's aren't anti American?whatthefunk
- t_c: Do you think your MIT professor Muslim buddy is different from other Muslim Americans or foreign Muslims?whatthefunk
- yup, he had an educated father who didn't prioritize his religious and cultural identity. see modern londanistan if you need an example of shitty parentingterry_cloth
- t_c: gotcha, so chances are, as an MIT professor, he's a bit more progressive than others. Does he still represent Islam for you?whatthefunk
- nope, he represents the american dream of coming here and leaving behind the fucked up culture you left behind. my folks did the same thingterry_cloth
- didn't edit that comment but you get the jistterry_cloth
- Sure, but who exactly are you protecting with politically correct statements?omg
- t_c: So b/c he's accomplished and in the US he represents success to you, although he's still Muslim?whatthefunk
- omg: your post suggests Islam is anti gay though your comment suggests you distinguish between far left/right Muslins.whatthefunk
- omg: I'm not suggesting be PC, I'm asking why suggest a blanket statement of all Muslims when you know it to be false?whatthefunk
- t_c: you comment "'solidarity with the muslim community' lol" why is this funny, aren't you part of the muslim community?whatthefunk
- I answered lots of your questions truthfully. I asked, who are you trying to protect with clarifying PC statements?omg
- omg: I'm trying to get at the root of why you proliferate an anti muslim rhetoric when you know it to be false. It's not PC, it's disinformationwhatthefunk
- omg: I'm trying to protect my fellow americans who unpatriotically spread this shit w/o thinking critically about what he/she is saying...whatthefunk
- o, i'm not part of the muslim community but it doesn't take a super sleuth to see that the muslim community doesn't approve of homosexuality and more than theterry_cloth
- catholic communityterry_cloth
- *any more thanterry_cloth
- t_c: But your buddy and his father, aren't they part of your community and you theirs, or at least were?whatthefunk
- t_c: or are they different simply b/c you know them but the others you don't know are the scary, militant, and radical ones?whatthefunk
- they are an anecdote of how when people manage to claw their way out of their third world medieval cesspit their children may have a chance of living a decent lterry_cloth
- -ife. in his father's home country they still stone women to death for adultery, care to defend that as anything other than completely fuckedterry_cloth

- t_c: Would it pain you to learn of him and his father being discriminated against by someone knowing then as you do?whatthefunk
- protect Americans from hurt feelings? The hundred injured and dead victims of Pulse night club in Orlando salute you.omg
- ISIS salutes you too. Their english is not so good, but luckily you're there to make sure the statements against them are correct and allow them safe passage inomg
- omg: Hoping to prevent you from creating another Dylann Roof. The Charleston church folks pray for you...whatthefunk
- omg: All muslims are ISIS, is that what you're saying? Surely you cannot be that backwards, say it ain't so...whatthefunk
- ^right. the hurt feelings matter far less than the realities of the medieval repression that happens in large swaths of the muslim world. true to form yuppieterry_cloth
- who spews hate for middle america and in the next breath cry's about the hurt feelings of repressive religionsterry_cloth
- where's your 'not all' horse shit rationale when it comes to republicans huh? typicalterry_cloth

- t_c: another 500 point catchphrase!! Don't imprison your soccer coach tc, he didn't do anything wrong.whatthefunk
- Nice jump to an entirely different category of social issues. It seems the war on terrorism is lost with you. Your pc wouldn't help this situation one bi.omg
- lol, perfectly personified the hypocrisy of progressivism. thanks for thatterry_cloth
- omg: I'm defending Muslim Americans, who's the real patriot here. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.whatthefunk

- omg: there's a big world out there, don't be afraid my friend. There's nothing to fear but fear itself. The sky isn't falling...whatthefunk
- defending muslim americans? is that what you think you are doing or are you just virtue signaling to everyone for yet more internet high fivesterry_cloth
- Not sure how your gay banner is going to stop the likenesses of Timothy McVeigh. You should better pursue police brutality then.omg
- * oh wait * he's white. he don't matteromg
- I'm not fearing, just all your focus and energy seems to only win popular votes, rather than protect the interests of everyone.omg
- lol... merry christmas, Star Wars is starting. i know t_c can finish up. peace in the middle eastomg
- t_c: your neck beard is showing hard.
omg: are you jumping to an entirely different category?whatthefunk - t_c: Dont' forget https://media.giphy.…whatthefunk
- Not only should the snarling Muslim apologize for his remarks to Trump. Khan had “disgraced” his son by “us[ing] him as a political pawn.”omg
- Apparently we’re not allowed to have opinions on important public policy issues unless we have a son die in Iraq according to Khan.omg
