Holy shazbot, Batman. O_O Sometimes, I really can't believe words like that come out of people's mouths. Really.

Its not like Islam is a living religion representing millions of individuals, all of whom are distinct people. A religion with a rich history that touches and influences dozens of other distinct cultures all over the world. Or that people who participate in any form of religious observance are weird, because its not like some Christian doctrines don't make you do something "crazy" like eat Jesus.

And then wow, did she take it a very bad level, that Nice White Lady. The whole point of America was to escape cultural/religious/ideological persecution.

Truly, it was said best that the unexamined life is not worth living, though perhaps it should be amended that the unexamined life might leave you an ignorant douche.

I feel as if this line has somehow changed my life.

As for the topic at hand... yeah. There's not much I can say that you haven't said already. *shakes her head*

Not much to say, but I appreciate you joining in the head-shaking.

Well, it's not just the people who say these things - I know that for every one of her, there's several dozen people who agree but wouldn't say it out loud in order to avoid looking bad. But yeah, at least the people who keep their mouths shut have a modicum more of awareness, which lets them know that, you know, maybe it's not okay to believe these things.

And then wow, did she take it a very bad level, that Nice White Lady. The whole point of America was to escape cultural/religious/ideological persecution.

She can join the longstanding tradition of people who parrot "American ideals" for the purpose of bolstering privileged ignorance ... Hell, that's a de facto American ideal on its own!

Ugh.

Ha! Yes. Thanks for the snark-filled lulz. XD
