People are taking offense of others with differing views, nothing more.
They are trying to limit their freedom of speech due to the fact they don't care for what was posted.
Now had that been a threat towards someone or a particular group of people, that would have been different.
But it is not.
This is where our Admin and others have created a touchy-feely atmosphere where Muslims are concerned.
Having said all that...
You would not believe the hate towards Christians that I have seen on Facebook and yet, no one says a word or reports it being as there are dozens and dozens of spiteful crude remarks on the post.
So why in the hell are Muslims treated with kid gloves?
I saw yesterday where the Facebook employees even wanted to remove Trumps comments about placing a temporary ban on Muslims until they (the government) could sort the vetting process out.
Do you know they, the FB employees, considered that hate speech?
How the hell is protecting National Security by upgrading our vetting process considered hate?
Screw those narrow-minded selfish assholes.
Anyhow, Zuckerface decided to leave Trumps comments alone, being as it wouldn't look right to delete a candidates comment.
And the employees got upset. pffft.
Oh go find you a safe place.
National Security is a lot more important to me, than worrying about who it offends talking about it.
But here is the thing.. it's everyone on the right who is being attacked, not just Christians, but everyone who is ideologically on the right.
Do you remember when I first joined ATS? I was Muslim back then and many of my posts were very pro Islam, but at the same time, politically I was always very much right of center.. I was against financing the Brotherhood in the Arab spring and more..
When I first came and all the lefties learned I was Muslim they were so excited to have me as their new poster child, until I started giving my decidedly anti left opinions.. then I was hated, passionately. There was no difference between me and Nenothtu then, or me and any Christian on that forum.. I became an islamophobic, xenophobic scum who didn't know Islam, never mind that I was practicing the faith.
I wasn't the only right wing Muslim attacked over political views and ideals, this is not a religious ideological war as much as it's a political ideological war. The left and mainstream Muslims want the same thing politically in the most essential aspects, and have decided to use one another to achieve those goals.
So, it's an ideological war, one that religion is much less a factor, but whether or not we are politically right or left - at least for now.The left will do anything and say anything to silence the right though, and I mean anything
There is no other position that is acceptable to them.. it's either a left wing opinion or outright attack.
