    Looks like a van attack. 13 reported dead in Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

    Probably just angry at some counter-protestors.

    Still needs to be sent down for murder though.

    This begs the question: is it time to start punching Muslims who have intolerant views?

    When 99% of the Nazi community is peaceful and helps inform law enforcement about extremist plots, ask us again.

    You gotta handicap a bit because the Muslims are outscoring the Nazis 13:1 (so far) this week.

    One confirmed dead. Reports are that 13 are dead.

    Liveleak has an aftermath video and it looks like lots of people down, and, though I can't check the vitals, several of them appear to be dead.

    Mind you, I do realize radial extremist Muslims are not all Muslims, or even the majority.

    Neo-Nazis, KKK and others of their ilk OTOH have nothing but hate as their message. All they stand for is eradicating others.

    So don't lump regular Joe Muslim in with Joe Supremacist, because I'm sure you're already doing so in that pea brain of yours. :brood:

    Along their lines we should also punch Christians as there are intolerant Christians despite most being benign, and Christianity is not Nazi fundamentalism.

    For the proper analogy should we punch all members of ISIS as we would punch Nazis? then the answer would be yes.

    The problem is you are deliberately ignoring the fact that Islam is not about killing everyone else. Groups like ISIS maintain a separate genocidal view from Islam like Nazis maintain a differing genocidal view of Christianity. So sure we should not allow the takeover and establishment of ISIS just as we should not let them Nazis takes over. We can remain tolerant of those who practice Islam as it does not reasonably harm others as we tolerate Christianity the same way. No, it does not reasonably harm anyone that Islam exists and is peacefully practiced.

    Regular Joe Muslim isn't a Muslim according to the Quran. There is no Regular Joe Muslim, only an infidel.

    Man, I've interacted with three or four Muslims today and came away without a scratch. Just lucky I guess, or perhaps they didn't have enough blood sugar to fuel their primal bloodlust?

    I ain't gotta handicap shit, boy.

    Though if I did handicap something, you can bet the Nazis would try and gas it.

    *a literal Nazi hits people with a car*
    Rightforge: This wasn't terrorism, she probably deserved it--maybe the driver got confused and hit the gas with all the protesters around.

    *a Muslim hits people with a car*
    Rightforge: Terrorism!! :j: :garamet::j: :garamet: :j::garamet: :j::garamet: :j::garamet:

    You just weren't in the right place at the right time. If only you'd been in Manchester or Nice or St. Petersburg or Notre Dame or Ohio State or Berlin or Orlando or wherever the next one is.

    Yes, if only you'd jet around the world to cherrypick 1 out of 1.6 billion Muslims every time, you could kid yourself into believing that's a representation of reality.
