And people often say that mosques preach peace, and perhaps they do. However there are plenty of Islamic leaders preaching hate over the internet and the internet is where Islamists are radicalized.
The most "hate" I've seen on these boards has been by Jews directed towards Muslims and Roman Catholics and in the real world, the most "hate" I've seen has been directed towards Muslims by Christians and towards Catholics by Jews and Christians.
I have heard not one single harsh word said by a Muslim towards any group. I know a lot of Muslims as friends and have many friends from other groups as well, and that included at one time many Jewish people, although now they are mostly acquaintances. It may surprise some of you that the "Oy, the Goyim <giggle>" have ears and recognie the condescending tone...and while there are more of us than there are Jewish people, being clumsy or doing goofy, rude, stupid, or otherwise socially awkward things is not entirely nor exclusively our domain.
On these Boards, there were at least 2 Roman Catholics who were especially vicious anti-Semites, and I'm not only talking anti-Israel. One of them called Jews cowardly, and refused to acknowledge Jewish contributions to this great nation. And there was a woman who called herself a devout Christian, yet hated Jews for supposedly killing her god. The coin has 2 sides.
Listen, Foreveryoung, doesn't drreolin spin sound familar to you. I think that some of the readers will remember it from once before. I hope since he was talking about the Jews and their supposed giggle that he doesn't mind me relating a story told to me by someone with whom I graduated. We would meet now and then over coffee at Macdonalds to talk over the old days in the Bronx. There are American Irish who were very clannish in those days. I doubt if they are the same way now since there is a lot of intermarriage. Anyhow, this is what happened to Larry (Lorenzo), who has Sicilian roots. He told me he once liked this Irish girl, but she had to sneak out to meet him because her father only wanted her to go with Irish guys. One night the father caught them as Larry was walking her home. He told her to go upstairs, and started screaming at Larry. Larry met up with his friends and told them what happened. They said, "Let's go back to the house and call him on it.," So off they go and start yelling for the father to come out. Out comes the father with his sons. The fighting started, and eventually the cops came and threw them all into the Paddy Wagon. They had to spend the night in jail. In the morning in front of the Judge, the Judge asked the father what happened. The father said, "These guineas......"" The minute the Judge heard that, he said "Case dismissed." It was an Italian judge. Actually Larry's gang were called the Golden Guineas, and they wore shiny gold jackets. If you google Gangs of New York, you will see them mentioned.
