Quote: r3x29yz4a said: you seem to operate from the stance that Allah and the teachings of Islam are inherently violent.
They are.
no, they aren't. the Quaran is as violent as the bible.
Quote: It's the same as how abortion clinic bombers and neo-nazis and IRA members don't accurately represent the majority of christians.
I'm sure you realize we've had this conversation before. And you prolly see this as your chance to sweep it under the carpet.
Needless violence is indoctrinated into Islam. This is not the case with Christianity.
not true. In fact, if you looked into it you'd find the Islamic teachings (not extremist readings of it) denounce killing innocents. terrorists get around it by saying the west is an evil threat and therefore not innocent.

Racial profiling does not simply mean to stop people and search them, but rather to note a person's race and keep it in mind as evidenciary support depending on the crime.
which is racism. also, keep in mind that Islam is the second largest religion in the world, covering many many countries.
Quote: If someone's suspected of bombing an abortion clinic and they turn out to be Christian (from a crucfix or whatnot), that should be noted.
I have never heard of a non-christian bombing a clinic.
Quote: However, the use of a crucifix or T-shirt saying "God Rocks" is much too broad amongst innocents than criminals.
same as how wearing traditional robes is too broad. figure how many muslims there are in the U.S. versus how many (even by exagerated terms of Bush) terrorists there are in the country.
Quote:
This, however, isn't the case with people, mainly Arabs, who wear shrouds when there's no use for them other than to hide their identities. Meaning, you broke context again.
to hide their identities? are you insane or just stupid? it's traditional muslim wear. and the ammount of robes worn varies by country. and if you look at the 9/11 hijackers, they weren't wearing robes.
