RIP

[Ex-California]

Seriously, can we just let this thread be where we mourn the loss of well known persons without taking cheap shots at unrelated people.
Have some respect guys......

No Kath, I don't feel personally violated at all, no colouring book required.
My point is that there are plenty of threads already available for Muslim bashing and I see no point in using this clearly defined RIP thread as well.
To be honest I wish there were some Muslim members here so I didn't feel quite so obliged to point out the bigotry when I see it. However if completely unrelated threads are going to be used for taking cheap shots like happened here it seems very unlikely that any Muslims are going to join and stick around for long enough to give their opinion.
I mean if I were to make a statement about all Jews or blacks based on the actions of a small minority of "their kind" I would expect to be pulled up on it pretty quickly but Muslim bashing seems perfectly acceptable around here. Shame if that is the case, it would be better IMO to be part of a more balanced forum where open debate rather than cheap shots and point scoring were the norm on this delicate subject.

I was talking to the triggered one, Okee, guys.

I've looked around.... they don't seem to exist. TBH.... with Nuke running around hating on everything not lily white, it's gotten rather sad. We're legit discussing if Jews were killed during the Holocaust. Nuke says it didn't happen. You can't argue with insanity. No point.

The main difference being that Nuke was pulled up on his opinions by several posters whereas similar levels of bigotry against Muslims seem only to be picked up by myself and occasionally Bjorn.
I'm not even calling for an end to people making these cheap shots because this would become a sanitized and uninteresting place to visit if they did but this particular thread is not the place for it unless we were, for example, discussing the death of Bin Laden rather than Mary Tyler Moore.

I am aware I have no power or mandate to moderate what people post but I do have a right to my opinion at least.

Then you're mistaken.

This,

Mary Tyler Moore would have put me at full mast

Gorgeous woman.. Sad that they had to wrap them in bedsheets or whatever-the-fuck-that-is back then...

and to think that kind of outfit would get a Muslim woman killed in today's world.

You are a huge hypocrite. How many hateful posts have you made about Christians, again?

How is it a delicate subject? Muslim women are forced to submit to dress restrictions that the men are not. That is true sexism.

The FLDS for example are just as bad, they just don't get picked on because there's not a contingent of Mormons attacking the West every month

[Ex-California]

Now lets go back to the other kind of fun sexism where we talk about our attraction to what a recently deceased woman looked like 60 years ago

This word has been confiscated and I hate it. Saying "triggered" means you feel triggered. As a bipolar person, being triggered is an actual thing, and it's not pretty. Triggers are scary. Please stop.
