You can't be racist towards a religion. Racism is the belief that one or more races is genetically superior to another race. That has nothing to do with religion. Semantics. The guy still thinks one group of people is inferior to another, based on misinformation and half-truths.

when it comes to stuff like this people have their minds made up already & there's no changing it, so there's no need to let it bother you...i always find it best to just ignore that kind of stuff.

It's my senior year of catholic High School and as a course requirement, I must take World Religion for the first two marking peroids. I like the course because it allows me to learn about other religions, such as Islam, the religion we currently are learning about. There is this kid in my class, however, who is 100 percent racist towards Muslim people. He referes to them as "Mosse-lams" and thinks all of them terroists who should be slaughter by the United States military. He just makes these remarks... and it really bothers me. How can people be so... cruel. Your concerned about this kids remarks? How can people be so cruel? 19 Muslims backed by thousands more Muslims killed 3000 Americans with airplanes. How can people be so cruel?

How can people be so cruel? Not every single Muslims person is a ing terrorist. It would be like me saying everyone in the Southern US is a redneck who beats their wife senseless everynight who also happens to be their sister. It's amazing what kind of narrow minded fools they let on the radio/TV. I really feel bad for good Muslim people who are peaceful for having to put up with all the bullcrap since 9/11.

I really feel bad for good Muslim people who are peaceful for having to put up with all the bull **** since 9/11. true, but.....idk, it's a weird situation because the people that hate us and want to kill us are muslims & they don't exactly wear "i'm a terrorist" name tags differentiating themselves...so, while it certainly isn't "right" for people to hate all muslims, there are some muslims that hate all of us, so there's kind of a confusing grey area there of who people are "supposed" to hate...while i don't agree with it or subscribe to that school of thought, i can kinda see where they're coming from.

Yes there are good Muslims but we do not know who they are. Sleeper cells are in this country. They act like good people and then bang. That attitude is what killed 3000 people. WW2 innocent Japanese people died to protect innocent Americans. It is a fact of war. We are in a war. Collateral damage is going to happen in war. I wish we all could get along but we were attacked several times even before 911 by Muslims.

i find it funny that they can hate us and want us dead and torture our soldiers and its ok but if we do it we should be ashamed of our selves, we're racist, and we're bullies. thats why we should get rid of all religions and start one world wide religion know as Coxism with Perry Cox as the all mighty and Girl's Name (John Dorian) is his prophet. Trust me Cox is not a merciful god:P i jest. ... Not everyone in the middle east thinks that way.

"Freedom of speech" doesn't apply in the United States school system.

Oh, so because there might be sleeper cells, we can't trust any of them, even ones who've been in the country for years who don't have any type of record what so ever. Yeah, that makes total sense You were attacked by sick minded individuals who use religion and twist it to meet their sick needs. If thats the case, why can't we arrest Fred Phelps, there just as crazy and could be considered a sleeper cell.

Let me clairify: He's a racist towards the entire Middle Eastern people. If they look Middle Eastern, he hates them and wants them dead. He thinks all of the Middle East should be blown up, children included. He just really is... an ass. The Middle East thinks the same of us. Not all of them.

The guy still thinks one group of people is inferior to another, based on misinformation and half-truths. the thing with rascism is you judge people on appearance or background something they can't help, with religion you judge someone on their beliefs so techincally it shouldn't be classed as rascism. I dislike Islam because I feel alot of the teaching and "laws" are strict and unnecessary, but that doesn't mean I dislike muslim people.

Sure not all of them are like that, but that is like saying not all of us believe in Freedom; when the majority of us do. They are taught by their religion to kill people that don't believe in the same beliefs they do.

No, your current foreign policy is what will get you killed.

How can people be so... cruel. Freedom of speech. Freedom of Speech is a very debatable subject. At what point does speech get limited. Hate speech is a prime example. Some places have laws against cursing in public. It falls under language that will offend the average person. That act is illegal. People have been arrested for it and found guilty.

They are taught by their religion to kill people that don't believe in the same beliefs they do. The religion is not a violent one. They are taught by extremists that this is the way they should behave.
