Last time I was friends with a muslim he ended up shooting 5 and murdering 1 at a Jewish Federation not far from here. He did it because he was angry at Israel and about the lack of progress in Iraq. I wouldn't have seen it coming in 100 years knowing the guy, but this is what Islam does to people. It's like a damn plague.
Quite frankly I think the media has a right to be a little jumpy on muslim related stories.

Well here in the west of scotland you will find that Christians regularily beat the crap out of each other and occasionally kill one another simply because they are the wrong colour of christian. Blue being protestant and green being catholic. This is because of the influx of Irish immigrants from many years ago and the hatred continues.
Have we forgotten about all the people blown up by WHITE CHRISTIANS in the UK because of the partition of Ireland? I mean these white christians even managed to blow up a few MP's and almost got the PM at the time. Brown Muslims have never come this close.......
So is christianity a plague given what it drives people to do?
For four wasted years British soldiers had endured the mud, blood and spattered guts of Flanders. While they were butchering and being butchered by their fellow White men, some of Britain's major cities were being invaded by racial aliens who had been imported by the Government to aid the war effort.
The war ended in November 1918. Those Britons who survived the ordeal of criminal insanity which wrecked and exhausted Europe were supposed to come home to a 'Land Fit For Heroes.' In fact, they came home to encounter unemployment, poverty and Coloured immigrant populations interbreeding with White women.
The young men of that era had not been steeped in liberal-minority propaganda by the media, but had been schooled in the horrors of trench warfare. The stage was set for an explosion of racial violence, and it came as surely as the summer.

The simple matter of fact here is:
The student did not commit a crime, break a rule or physically do anything to warrant such attention.

If it was a Jew or a Christian setting a dog on fire hell you'd never even hear about it.

You know what's funny? the ignorance of some muslims, dogs are not dissallowed, it even says in the quran how Mohammed slept in the same room (cave) as a dog. Also Islam teaches the most important thing of all, be nice to animals!!

The belief in dogs as "unclean" has more to do with tribal beliefs than Islam itself, methinks. As for this particular situation, I think the kid making the threat was just an ass, doing what asses do best--being an ass.

You're throwing up straw men. The poster I responded to listed specific examples of what she deemed to be discriminatory practices by immigrants in the U.S., two of them from (alleged) Muslim men (Pakistani) and one from a Cuban. One of her examples, the voting, has absolutely nothing to do with any form of discrimination whatsoever. My point is that the rudeness and discrimination that happens in this country is not necessarily based on the culture an immigrant comes from, but rather, that it is endemic to modern American culture as a whole.

People who are born, raised, and live under Sharia law generally want to live under Sharia law, otherwise they would either make the choice to emigrate to a nation with different rules or they would form a group to overthrow the mullahs in their home country.

Our disagreement with their choice to live in what we consider a repressive regime does not give us any moral authority to condemn the people or the regime they are, apparently, happy with.
If you look at things from their side of the coin Muslim women under Sharia might think American women are slaves as well--practically forced to work to support their families, slaves to fashion, many left by their cowardly men to raise children alone.

Most of the "rules" regarding what an Islamic woman can or can't do has nothing to do with Islam itslef, but with the tribe from which she and her family come, and how that tribal background shapes the laws of the nation where she lives or from which she hails.

But most Americans, in their rush to judgment, don't see any of that. All they see is "Islam" as a monolithic institution bent on ruling the world. Well, one could easily get the same impression from reading the Christian Bible, or the Jewish Torah, or Scientology's Dianetics.

I think one of America's biggest social problems today is an unhealthy dose of xenophobia. We quickly see the differences in those of other cultures and we've been conditioned to see those differences as "bad" and wrong. We lack the ability to empathize with others, especially those from "outside".
This lack of empathy, along with a general lack of curiosity for fact and truth, leads us to often violent conclusions about the motives and intentions of the "other". Not to say other cultures don't do the same thing, but my primary concern, being an American, is how Americans act. I can't change how other cultures treat each other and I don't care to.

I don't want them killed or repressed for it either. They have their accepted way of life, one they're happy with.

We still haven't really decided what our way of life should even look like--the downside of the great Melting Pot is that the "culture" is in a constant state of flux as the ratio of different nationalities, races and cultures changes every day.
Nowhere in the quran does it state anything about how dirty a dog is!
INTRODUCTION
Muhammad made strange and harsh statements about dogs and these edicts affect dogs in a tragic way. His teachings may have come from cultural bias, Pagan concepts, or his own imagination, but wherever they came from they led to the cruel treatment of dogs.
None of the statements regarding dogs are found in the Quran but they abound in the various collections of traditions (hadith). These traditions are a primary foundation of Islamic theology and are the basis of many Islamic laws. They render dogs as "impure" and worse. Per Muhammad’s orders most dogs were to be killed and all dogs of a specific color (black) had to be killed.
Muhammad claimed to be a prophet of God and as such his word was to be obeyed. With the teeth of Islam biting worldwide it is vital that Muhammad’s teachings be scrutinized to determine if he were a nut or a prophet.
