I’ve interacted with people like Jack. When an NYU professor wrote a bigoted islamophobic op-ed, there were complaints. The dean responded to it in a condescending way by saying he saw nothing offensive and you should learn what free speech is. The president of the university had to publicly condemn the remarks.

Improved background checks. You know, the ones Uber tried for a long time to block and refused to follow NYC laws about state checks of all drivers?

Untrue. How much Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Malay, Albanian, Bangladesh, Swahili, Turkish, Pashto, and Uzbek TV do you watch? How much time fo you spend on Muslim social media? I assure you the vast majority of Muslims share my interpretation. You’d know this if you spoke to more Muslims. 

At this point they’re merely bones.

Given where it left off, I think it’s pretty clear the battle is starting before dawn. I doubt the entire episode will be dark.

Well they also fired the shrub’s manager, who had to have known. I can see the general manager being shocked at hijinks in the service department.

As a Muslim I’m absolutely horrified by this. I have Christian relatives and I’m worried about their safety too. Sri Lanka has a history of Buddhist, Hindu, and Marxist terrorist attacks, and Christianity and Islam are often seen as “foreign” and have been targets in the past

You feel wrong. People are not going to make the same mistake of knee-jerk blaming someone only to find out they’re wrong. That happened with Oklahoma City bombing, the Boston marathon bombing, the Philippines casino fire, the Notre Dame fire, the Norway terrorist attacks, and the list goes on.

You mean last year?

Ben Carson, who pretends he carries out Jesus’s will daily, is trying to make people homeless. How morally bankrupt are (Republican) Christians?

She IS wrong, because AOC ran in a difficult primary against Joe Crowley. Yes, the district goes Democrat in the general, but she’s being disingenuous. 

He’s not alone. I checked T_D and they’re going all in on the anti-Muslim hate. They’re spreading conspiracies that this must have been a plot because it’s close to Easter (and not that there was renovation in progress with construction inside the building), and they found a photo of a random brown guy on the street…

Pakistan is not going to hand over their nuclear tech to the Saudis. Their relationship is not THAT good that they’d just hand over their national treasure like that.

Yet another slippery slope argument, and just as false.

What are you talking about, being unvaccinated is the main carrier of disease. Every outbreak including this one is prompted by an unvaccinated person bringing it with them into the community, typically families who travel abroad unvaccinated and bring it back to New York like this outbreak.

Government 101 talks about what a social contract is. You’re in one right now. Don’t like it? Move.

That’s ridiculous.

Ever since Ricketts was unmasked as a hateful bigot, I’m done with him and the team.

What are you talking about? The police assumed there was a hostage situation in progress and they just shot the man, by “accident.” The man could have been a hostage but they shot first and checked after. That’s not “just doing their job,” that’s going against their own rules. BTW, the cop said the gun “discharged”…
