    I'm not sure if you're serious, please clarify. My response depends on understanding if you actually believe what you posted here or if you were being sarcastic.

    I'll take the opinion of a military expert over that of a person who has demonstrated nothing but abject hate for Muslims.

    fchowd was quite clear that he thinks those 67% are racist. In fact hes called me one. Many right leaning posters on this board have been called racist and white supremacist. Justtxyank's claim as well that he would 'run into many white nationalists' is exactly what I claimed.

    I suggest you go take a deep breath and reread what they wrote.

    Obama had one of the most scandal free administrations in modern history.

    It's okay, I understand that your limited intellect and level of education still do not allow you to understand the difference between criticizing an ideology and "hating Muslims".

    I do not hate Muslims. I am highly critical of the ideology of Islam.

    Your argument is like saying that someone who criticizes the ideology of white supremacy "hates Whites".

    That is a meaningless statement though. I share some views with communists, nazis, Democrats, anarchists, and Flat Earthers. If the views shared are not that minority populations are subhuman, should be expelled from the US or killed, etc. (you know, the things that define them as white supremacists) then people are just trying to tar them with the same brush.

    Your post reflects the white privilege of having 250 years of white Presidents reflecting the white experience and the racism inherently tied in the American white experience and accepting that as the normal course of America. As soon as black President is elected you're uncomfortable with it because he's black. It's like you don't even understand the words you're saying.

    Post bears repeating.

    i never said "all". your reading comprehension sucks. he did say there were "very fine people" on both sides...one of those sides was anti-semetic, racist white supremacists. you and trump have willingly aligned yourself with them.

    you supported george w bush.

    you supported george w bush.

    You respect Sam Harris?

    He even explicitly stated that his method of criticism of Islam isn't meant for current Muslims. He even says that outside criticism doesn't work. Do you trust his opinion?

    Why are you trying to play gotcha?

    Yes, I do respect Sam Harris.

    Like me, he is against the "Muslim ban". Good piece here:

    I still never understand the logic behind the "say it's Islamic terror" crowd. Who's that message targeting? What does it actually accomplish? And why is it such a big deal?

    I've asked this hundreds of times to dozens of different posters and not one has been able to give tangible reason why other than to feel good in a higher horse.

    Because it's true? Just as true as saying the KKK are white supremacists.
