Should Canada and the U.S. tolerate an intolerant Islam?

You are correct that there were many Gnostics. That does not take away from the fact that I am a Gnostic Christian.

As far as I have been able to learn, all Gnostic sects believed in equality as from what I have gleaned, we are all Universalist sects populated by esoteric ecumenists.

You indicate otherwise and I would like to see your source please.

Fuck you. You haven't shown a single source other than some droll popular literature written by crass sensationalists. I don't have to show you a damned thing.

You're no Christian. Nor are you a Gnostic. You're nothing but a base poseur.

Or even a pathetic troll.

Thin and rubbery, loathsome Trolls are able to regenerate, so that beginning the third melee round after one is hit it will begin to repair itself.

Man, it took me forever to get past this guy on my first trip up the 7,000 Steps.

[Ymir's blood]

Yeah, that was the big reason I tended to wait awhile to make that trip, though if you were a ranged character, it was possible to climb the rocky cliff on the left side of the path and get into a spot where you could snipe the thing down.

The differences between a Druze, a Nation of Islam adherent and a moderate Sunni are bigger than the difference between you and evangelical Christians, and yet you are happy to lump them all together. I am merely applying your own standards, and according to that standard, you most certainly are a Christian. Of course you could change your mind and decide that perhaps some of the details of how someone interprets a belief can matter quite a lot, but then the same must apply to Islam.

If we continue to apply your standards, we find that apparently you are adherent of an immoral religion that we should counteract, as the violent and immoral ideas are not compatible with democracy, as we have recently seen demonstrated again when one of your coreligionists terrorists shot up a birth control center. This religion is seeking to gain control of our schools, and promotes changing our laws to match their religious ideas. They constantly apply pressure to try to force their outdated sexist, homophobic and violently divisive ideas down our collective throats, and to change society in line with their anachronistic values.

So I assume you will voluntarily deport yourself at the earliest opportunity, or just accept you are a hypocrite.

They are indeed. Hence your conflation of Isis and Islam and sweeping generalizations about that religion and the cultures of the people who follow it. And your simplistic "Western Democracies vs Islam" narrative.

So it's the hypocrite option then?

I will definitely consider that as my plan B, but I think I will try shit-posting stupid crypto-fascist claptrap with lots of youtube videos in it first.

[JoeP]

I quite like this troll. Many of the classic elements: well-contained anger (we can hope), loads of shitposting of videos, actually responds to challenges - unlike bobsavegetable (in correct troll fashion, with attacks or evasion, not substance), always quotes the wall of text he's not substantively responding to. And perseveres.

Nope; didn't think so.

Hopefully, someone else has already LOL'ed at this.

If not, let my LOL be the first LOL you receive.

You're welcome.

Aha.

This would be the well-known "No True Gnostic Christian" fallacy about to rear its trollish head.

Do we? Tell us which other faith has produced a culture which matches Islam's contribution to Western civilisation.

My main point was to wonder why Muslims do not seem to be keeping up with the rest of the world in term of producing intelligent thought.
Are you sure it isn't you who is failing to keep up with the producers of intelligent thought?

This is cool. And heart-warming. And sadly necessary.

What America also needs is to hear how right-wing Christian parents are talking to their children about "right wing" and/or "Christian" hatred, extremism, radicalisation etc.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah, good luck with that.

Chilling video terrifies nation.
