When have I ever exhorted civilians to acts of violence against Muslim civilians? I don't know if you ever exhorted anything! But you are the big proponent for nuking Mecca, I'm not as thorough an SI cateloguer as some others here, but we all read your posts on the subject. And what does the civilian vs. civilian thing suddenly have to do with anything. If a civilian nukes Mecca or the military nukes Mecca, the affect is the same. You have become so entrapped by political correctness that you've lost all common sense. I understand why you think that way, but I think you are acting just like a sheep being lead to the slaughter, so I don't condone your way of thinking. I said that if hate speech were made a crime, you would likely be a criminal. That doesn't make me a sheep being lead to slaughter, or entrapped in political correctness, or really doesn't say anything about me other than I think if hate speech were made a crime, you would likely be made a criminal, ya crazy man!

And when I honestly point out the serious shortcomings in Muslim society, that is not hate speech. That is calling a spade a spade. You have become so entrapped by political correctness that you've lost all common sense. I understand why you think that way, but I think you are acting just like a sheep being lead to the slaughter, so I don't condone your way of thinking. One of the reasons your edicts on Muslim society are met with derision is because there are gaps in your understanding of Muslims and gaps in your knowledge of Western societies. In addition, you ignore the violence in your own culture. The US has the highest homocide rate of any nation in the West and is one of the most violent nations in the world..........only 23 nations rank higher than the US. In fact, your reaction to the suicide bombings suggests you come from a violent society. BTW not one person on this thread has suggested we should approach this whole thing as if sheep to the slaughter.
