Is it racism when one Muslim hates another Muslim a la Shiite vs. Sunni?

If someone has to answer that for you then you don't need an answer, you need an education. Better yet crawl back into your mother's womb and start over. When you come out the next time pay attention. Maybe the apostrophes are making you dizzy with dumbness. Lay off the apstrophes and pay attention.

A koran in the toilet is a hate crime. A crucifix in a glass of urine is art.

Mike go back to the G ward. You are confused. Another dose of shock treatment should fix it.

easy there boobieklot.

I'm just saying how ignorant some people are. All "towelheads" are arabs, "sandnigger" is another catch all phrase.

Hold up thar bro!!! First boobies don't klot. But if you are a wu bang bros, they could give you a black eye. Me bang you long!

Anonymass-

Please continue to twist my words...it quite amuses me. My original comment was that there are a lot of racist posts here and that the actions at Pace are racist. Pehaps you'de be more comfortable with 'anti-Mulsim sentiments' or more unconfortable with "christian crusade'... the real term would be bias. The point is, that on a college campus where race is a super-charged issue, attacking a religion that is represented MAINLY by people of color is a racist action.

"Muslims aren't all "brown.""

I never said that whatsoever...I get around and have friends from all age/race/religon/ class/sexual orientation/ cultures/political affiliations...I know that each person is an individual and should be taken as they wish to be represented...do you?

What I'd like to convey is that rather than breaking biased actions into little sub-actions so that different race/religion/sexual orientations fight over whose is more tragic, lump them together so that people who are victim of biased crimes can come together and address this issue. Because it's more or less the same racisit idiots who are the perpetrators...

douche.

A koran in the toilet is a hate crime. A crucifix in a glass of urine is art.

The students who stormed the stage at the Minutemen event should all be suspended immediately. If you want to protest an event do so by celebrating your own right to free speech outside the event. Don't trash someone else's freedom of speech and pretend to have the moral high ground. What a bunch of disgusting anti-liberals those students are.

anon-"my"-ass,

you spend waaaaaay too much time on this blog actually commenting on this stuff. it is seriously affecting your thinking in a way that the worst ideas are gushing out. get help.

In shuffles ignoramus #2.

I'm not backtracking, you hole. I don't blame you for not being able to comprehend my point, but I will tell you to stay the fuck out of something you don't understand.

See, I can call you a Jamaican voodoo-practicin' backwater piece of shit without using the N word and making it racial.

You get the difference?

As to the towel-head comment, most men you see wearing turbans in this city are Sikhs, not Muslims. They are Indian, not Middle Eastern. Put a little research into your hatred, people.

Its only has an apostrophe if it's a contraction of "it is"

When its meaning is "belonging to it", its spelling is simply: its.

Face this Miquel: your (sic) a sheltered, provincial, reactionary moron railing against the very stereotypes you are propogating.

Muslims aren't all "brown." News flash: the largest Muslim population in the world belongs to an Asian country. All Christians aren't white either. And there are (gasp) even a few black Jews skulking around the city.

According to your misapplied lables, if I disrciminate against a white woman who converts to Islam, I'm a racist. Interesting dichotomy.

This is not the place to vent rambling, blah, blah, blah issues. Miquel cut to the chase and saw your point for what you meant it to be. Now you are trying to back track and skirt around your thread and other issues. Too late.

You posted what you meant and meant what you posted.

And next time use spell check.

woo tang klan: Why are you picking on your brotha?

Woo tang = belongs to Asian language group

"..."towelheads" and mohamed akbar or arafat. Arafat," aAs you refer to them are most likely of asian descent. What are you?

They are not towels, they are turbans. And MOHAMMED is a formal name which requires a capital letter at it's inception.

Ben K.,

My bad. I read the Gothamist mash of two distinct artcles: The one about the Columbia ACLU and the Times Select op-ed. So my beef then is with the Times.

who can take the sunshine,

sprinkle it with dew,

clog up all the toilets with a muslim book or two?

Dammit, I hate being preempted while I'm writing only to have my point made before I post.

And yes, I misspelled 'labels.'

Point being, I honestly don't equate Islam with Middle Eastern. Nor should you. I have a problem with Islam that I don't have with people who are Middle Eastern. I think that's true of many Americans, whether they realize this or not.

Jeebus: You are funny. That smell sounds funky, stanky, and offensive, like you said. And worse, you couldn't get a flush.

so, "Nigger" isn't as offensive as it was in the years before the 70's. Many black people I have related to are not moved by the word. However, everyone is not in the same place socially. So what offends some may not offend others. The 'N' word is a other curse word. People who use them to describe another human being are mentally stunted. It is ugly language. Like: cunt, twat, bitch, whore, fuckin A' hole, prick, dick, ...ect. etal.

while it's true that Indonesia is the most populous muslim nation, I doubt many americans even know where it is.

It's easier to pick on the "towelheads" and mohamed akbar or arafat. Arafat being the main evil dude.

Miquel: I do agree that anti-Muslim sentiment in the USA is often directed at those of Middle Eastern descent, regardless of their actual faith. It's worth noting, however (not necessarily to you, but to the readership at large), that the most populous Muslim nation is Indonesia--definitely not ethnically Middle Eastern of any stripe.

Peace out,
