No, you attacked me. There was nothing in my statement to warrant accusations of "hatred and willingness to believe and propagate and believe anti Muslim conspiracy theories and bigotry. Such as your statement."
Is intolerance of other religions and cultures, particularly of Jews, widespread among Muslims in America? It certainly is, witness the Nation of Islam and the almost unanimous hostility toward Israel and American Jews who support Israel. Even a casual investigation of statements by European Muslim leaders shows a high lever of intolerance of other religions, especially of Jews, and also of western culture. The Chechen wars against Russia are only the most prominent examples of of Muslim intolerance of other cultures, and China's long struggles against the hostility of the Uyghur against not only the ethnic Chinese but against other Muslim groups in China belies your claim of no widespread intolerance of other cultures or religions among Muslims.
And of course Africa is riven with wars of domination by Muslim groups. And of course, nearly all the transnational terrorist organizations around the world are made up of Muslims. So your claim that intolerance of other religions and cultures is not widespread among Muslims is clearly nonsense.
Let's try to tell the truth. You only brought up the claim of Islamophobia in order to try to justify Omar's vile anti semitic statements by claiming criticism of her was purely an example of Islamophobia.
Yes.
Let’s try to tell the truth.
I am not claiming criticism of Omar’s remarks is purely Islamophobia, so dismantle that strawman.
Couple of more problems here...Nation of Islam is hardly representative of American Muslims. It also isn’t exactly Muslim either but a group of some 20 to 50 thousand, who combine elements of Islamwith Black Nationalism. There are approximately 3.45 MILLION Muslims in the US, so why do you use such a tiny sect as representative of American Muslims? What actual data do you have to show that American Muslims are any more intolerant than American Christians?
The Uighurs are actually a good example of what I mean by a complex problem created by China’s harsh and punitive restrictions on their religion, language and culture which has led to a rise in violence. Did you know hat China moved millions of Han Chinese into their area to deliberately dilute them? They did the same to Momgolia. If they were Christians defending themselves you would be condemning China and supporting them.

The Chechnyans are in a similar position of an ethnic group wanting independence from Russia and one badly treated in the Soviet days. Let’s not forget it is highly likely Putin orchestrated an apartment bombing that was blamed on the Chechnyans and led to the second Chechnyan war.
In CAR, the Christians are just as involved as the Muslims in committing atrocities against each other, and in many of the African conflicts you are dealing with tribal and ethnic conflicts as well as failing states. It is superficially religious but dig down and it is a lot more.
There are some 2 billion Muslims in the world. The number involved in terrorism would not even be statistically significant.
