The French are not confused here,

They are just providing truth in advertising.

Or they are accurately labeling their toxic waste dumps.

...but I'm pretty sure the graves they desecrated didn't belong to these guys.

"The MRAP anti-racism group said the attack was "a worrying sign of an ill that is gaining ground with a degree of impunity: islamophobia" and warned that France needed to face up to the problem."

I am ashamed of myself because I have a phobia of the ball bearings that are launched from detonated jihadist suicide bombers. Perhaps with some sensitivity training I can learn to understand the culture of the ball bearings and my phobia will subside.

Hey, I'm not the one praising the actions of a neo-Nazi group for defaming veterans graves there bucko.. I just can't help but chuckle at the fact that you buy into Nazi-esque ethnic/religious conspiracies, defend neo-Nazi groups, and the best you can come up with to justify the defamation of veterans graves is "The Jews Muslims are all a bunch of nazis!1!!"

Muslim is a race?

As the UK police like to put it when Churches get attacked, this was a 'religious hate' crime, not racist

Confused? Hanging a pig's head from a Muslim grave sounds like pretty well-informed, targeted hate to me.

Desecrating the graves of muslims is no more or less racist as desecrating the crimes of capitalists, objectivists, Marxist Humanists, postmodernist, et al.

Islam is an ideology, not a race.

These people are tools for constantly mislabeling this.

Not thrilled that graves are vandalized, though.

 
m2313 2008-04-06 04:33:53 PM  
The only way this could get any better is if a suicide bomber detonated right into a crowd of neo-nazis as they're desecrating the graves.

Islam is not a race. These people are attacking a religion and desecrating its holy symbols, something Farkers do every day.

So? Religions are ideologies and some ideologies are stupider than others. Religions do not deserve special respect for any reason. They should be treated like any other ideology (philosophical, political or other).

Speaking of irony...

Your best insult, along with many other Farkers', is "unfit to breed." I think "life unworthy of life" is an even higher-level insult you should look into. I mean, since y'all are going down that much-trodden eugenics path, why not just take it all the way?

I agree. I also agree with most of what is written in your profile. The real question is why we keep coming back to this place - I think the 'to be amused' logic is sort of a cop out.

Actually, they weren't. Eichmann and the Grand Mufti were pretty close friends and there were Arab Muslim SS brigades.

Samsaran: Islam is not a race. These people are attacking a religion and desecrating its holy symbols, something Farkers do every day.

Agreed. There is only one race: the human race. But racism isn't some form of misanthropy, the only way to understand it is that it's the belief in a wide category of different human races. The fact that these differences have no definition, as they are sometimes religious, sometimes cultural, and sometimes aesthetic is an absurdism that was, and still is by some, widely accepted. Neo-nazi's and other hate groups, obviously, stress these differences - sometimes all of them, sometimes just a few - as evidence of their own superiority.

The intent of these racists groups was simple, and clear. The fact that Islam is a religion, with many different cultures and people who look very different, is irrelevant to the hate groups. The fact that these were the graves of soldiers who fought for France is just as irrelevant. For the hate-mongers, it's not "what you do" that counts, it's "who you are". This is racism not because Islam is in anyway a different race, but because the people doing this are trying to make it one.

Some of the posts in this thread are bloody disgusting.

Horseshiat. The French allowed millions of muslims in but provided them with absolutely no way to integrate and some seriously disfigured shiatholes to live in. I agree that uncontrolled immigration is causing massive problems but it's not the fault of the emigres.

Yes, strictly speaking "racism" refers to "race". However the word has come to encompass other differences such as religion, culture, etc.

God =/= Religion. That's an oversimplification. Religions are belief systems containing many beliefs, many of which are untrue.

Instance: There are sections in the Bible stating or implying that it was "created" unmovable (set in place). Should no one criticise this false statement merely out of respect for Christianity?

Samsaran: Islam is not a race.

One could say the same of Judaism, but I don't think it changes much in the minds of the neo-Nazis and their sympathizers. People like that don't exactly walk up and say "excuse me, are you an adherent of religion X? Because I hate religious figure Y for reason Z, and I'm going to proceed to defame you now". The very nature of people like this should give you a pretty good idea that they don't have a very rational basis for their hate. The only thing going through their minds is "us vs. them", and no matter who it is they're attacking or defaming, in their minds, they're "sticking it to them". Sure they may hate religions that they associate with their target group, but it's not the motivation, it's just another way of "sticking it to them", since "them" is an omnipresent, hive minded collective that exists in their heads. The subtleties of an individual's personal religious belief or practices don't concern these people, they're just as likely to attack someone based on their name, country of origin, or skin color just because, in their mind, anyone they're attacking is one of "them".

As others have said, Hitler and the Grand Mufti shared a common hatred of the Jews. The Grand Mufti was already getting irked by Jewish settlers (future Israelis) in Palestine. He would've loved for the Nazis to come down and drive the Jews out but the British stopped the war machine in Egypt.

Islamic anti-semitism has deeper roots than just "settlers".

The Mufti and the Holocaust

Germany stands for an uncompromising struggle against the Jews. It is self-evident that the struggle against the Jewish national homeland in Palestine forms part of this struggle, since such a national homeland would be nothing other than a political base for the destructive influence of Jewish interests. Germany also knows that the claim that Jewry plays the role of an economic pioneer in Palestine is a lie. Only the Arabs work there, not the Jews. Germany is determined to call on the European nations one by one to solve the Jewish problem and, at the proper moment, to address the same appeal to non-European peoples.

Kiryas Joel, NY (new window)

I can't speak from experience about Israel or other places with predominantly Jewish populations, but the Jewish culture is so strong and different from mainstream America that it does create a tangibly alien atmosphere. Not to mention the fact that English is a minority language by a long stretch.
