Don't be pissed--the distinction is vital.

Your last question seems to me to verge on MacCarthyesque. Like, if I answer wrong, do I get blacklisted?
And Rajoo didn't say the religions committed any violent acts.

That would be Muslims and Christians.

Why would Rajoo be pissed?

But one question was asked.

You sound like Hillary, not one of my favorite politicians.

Only to you and I am not even mildly irritated.

I am not even half Irish and besides 'live and let live' is my motto.
Islamic, Islamist etc. are just adjectives used to avoid confronting reality.

Don't dread them. You odds of being directly involved in an incident remain vanishingly small.
There is no Christian equivalent to Allahu akbar.

WTF is the matter with you all? About as year ago everyone got on my case simply because I wrote of instances where five men who were patently Muslim dissed my late wife. I was immediately labelled as a hater, that labeling qualified as an Olympic standing long jump, but whatever. I do not understand their religion and certainly think that Sharia and Wahhabi are barbaric laws, but are tribal in origin and not truly part of their Koran. However we are supposedly guaranteed freedom to practice whatever religion we wish in this country, or to practice non at all. Because of how I was raised I do not approve of their views on women but there is nowt that I can do about that.

So as far as hating goes I simply do not have the time. And as far as blaming the acts of a few - who only claim they follow a certain religion - on every member of that sect is rather asinine.

That's all you Hillarybots can do isn't it?

Play the "She's not Trump" card.

Because the truth is you can't come up with one positive reason to vote for her. Every one is "well, she's not as bad as..........."

That's reason enough.

As I remember you were one of her biggest detractors last year.

What happened to convince you to throw away any shred of dignity you might have had and sell your soul to the Devil?

I still dislike her. But given a choice between Hillary and Trump, the choice is clear, even if I have to hold my nose.
