Yep, so absolutely hateful, I mean.. we could compare it to living in a country under Islamic Rule right? Oh wait.. no we can't, in an Islamic country, you can be killed for speaking ill favor to the religion.

So cry me a river with your false BS.
I totally agree. I really would like anyone who screams "racism" to address how things are in the "real world" before flinging that word around. And while they're at it explain how Muslims are so great to the GLBTQ community that most of them support the Muslim world over the State of Israel.

I agree. And after reading the story the Sikh men in their community are experiencing prejudice at a higher level now, very sad.

What if that idealism is destructive?
The same argument you state, the *exact* same one...was used by the Nazi propagandists for this film:

What are you talking about? You're trying to use one of the more privileged ethnicities in American society to illustrate victimhood? Give me a break.

There was an actual post earlier, that was serious, stating that classes should be given to identify sikhs, Muslims, and others of "those kind"...I guess so active shooters can target the specific group they want and put them in the appropriate concentration camps when that day comes.

Unbelievable.
When the Left runs out of arguments, and starts name calling, they've lost the debate.

Deflect, deflect, deflect.

So far all we've heard is justifications, blaming the victim and "BuT MuZzlimsss!".

Typical.

Clear evidence here that the alt-right justifies and supports these sorts of events. Sick stuff.
How is it alt-right or sick to explain that for all our faults we are far more tolerant and inclusive than most of the world. I bet you most Sikhs would agree with me.

You didn't answer the question. And your ad-hominem centric arguments are intellectually weak.

So, ideology doesn't matter? Shall we open up an anti defamation league for the Taliban, the Black Panthers, and the KKK?

Fortunately I believe the majority of Americans, regardless of their religious or ethnic background, are not bigots.
So you would rather tie our airports, office buildings and even urban grids into knots than concentrate security efforts on communities at war with us?

lol...when someone doesn't address the points of the other debater and resorts to terms like "leftist!", then *they* have excused themselves from the discussion.

PS - Not a leftist! I would have voted for one Republican candidate and I did not vote for HRC. However I'm educated, wealthy, and have lived across the world and speak 3 languages. Therefore I'm not apart of the demographic that voted for Trump (poor, uneducated and insular).
