I'm not sure what happened or why this happened except that I'd been reading on The Daily Mail comments' section from U.K. peoples that something needs to be done about Muslims and the Muslim threat and that if politicians are unwilling or incompetent to do so others might need to take the...

Thank you for your question. No, I don't think it is civil war or that is what civil war looks like. I think these incidents are the specific consequences of normalizing anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamophobia coming to leave a calling card just as in the Regency, Georgian, or Victoria era...

I'm a woman. I think people keep presuming I'm a man for some reason on this board. So the label of "cuck" is inapplicable here. I'm against bigotry in general of all kinds, though again I'm not sure why this should be relevant. Also, I'm not sure why my highlighting the issue of anti-Muslim...

June 18, 2017: Missing Muslim Teen Found Dead Near Mosque, Suspect In Custody Peace.

I know that reasonable peoples do not deny that anti-Muslim bigotry, Islamophobia, whatever-you-want-to-call of that nature, exists. Yet I have seen intelligent people do a combination of mind and verbal contortions to deny that very reality in the face of evidence to the contrary; this is going...

I believe you likely know already that you'd win that bet and not because you are right but because you've cleverly sanitized both the definition of terrorism and weaponry in your favor; yet the bet will not tell you or anyone else anything of value to take as lessons into the future of how to...

I am certain that that is not a fair structuring of the betting game given that you've not taken into consideration other factors. We already know that in our modern time terrorism is used as a catch-all phrase for radical Islamic terrorism and has tended to exclude other types of mass shooting...

There are criticisms one can validly make of Bill Maher, but racism is not one of them. Misjudgment? Yes. I seem to remember watching a segment in which Bill Maher seemed to defend and even sympathize with the jury's decision in the case of O.J. Simpson to not convict. I very much doubt a...

I'm not saying this cannot happen, because with the Trump presidency, I have learned to expect the unexpected. And certainly, his using Twitter to push for his Muslim ban in the wake of the U.K. terrorist attack does not speak well of him as he seems to have been exploiting the news of the...

That's crazy. People are crazy. What Kathy Griffin did crossed some boundaries of decency and acceptability. I'd cringed badly when I'd Googled the controversial picture. However, this advertisement is an outright call to savagery. What if some crazy person takes this speech as an invitation...

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls similarly stated after a terrorist incident: “We would like to tell the French people that we will never give in. We will not give in to the terrorist threat. The times have changed, and France is going to have to live with terrorism.” He was of course severely...

This is, at least in my humble opinion, one of the worst things that could have happened to the people of U.K. for both the non-Muslim and Muslim community, primarily because this terrorist incident comes at the heels of the Ariana Grande concert attack of two weeks ago. The wounds are still...

I don't think this budget-aligned program is a good idea or a "winning" outcome for the students whom we're supposed to want to see succeed as a nation. While the current proposal for undergraduate students turns out to not be bad in the long-term perspective, undoubtedly, the proposal works to...

I should tangentially mention that I am a product of Western culture and Don2 is right: I'm an American citizen. Now, that we have gotten assumptive biases out of the way, I should also like to mention that it should not have mattered an iota whether I belonged to the U.S. or not because the...

I wanted to write a separate post to address the points raised in the two articles I'd posted that I'd found in Google search. I don't think it's simply an issue of free speech as both Stuart Clayton Lee and Kai-Avé Douvia are making the matter out to be; the reason I don't think it's a free...

Thank you so much for sharing that background information that's quite helpful in contextualizing the video earlier posted. I went ahead and Googled Kai-Avé Douvia, and I came away with reading an article called "The Price of Having a Different Opinion on a Left Wing Campus." Kai-Avé Douvia...

Yes, thank you, I do know that Islam and Muslim is not a race. But do white racists know that as well? If you read the full article, the article clearly says he was yelling racial slurs to the women. Now I may be incorrect, but I imagine he likely thought they were "Arab" Muslims, though I...

1) From what I understand, in the past, Day of Absence has comprised of "students and faculty of color leav[ing] campus to show how much they contribute to the college." This year, however, in what was probably the feeling that there should be a reciprocity as there hadn't been in years past...
