Christianity doesn't call for conversion or death.
My reply was more about this PC culture being the death of us.
Did I mention that Muslims aren't lovers of liberal views,better hope that they don't come to a town near you or you might be on their radar.

I hear ya on the PC stuff but unfortunately, speaking matter of fact can upset people nowadays. I am in no way racist but even the smallest things can be jumped on if you word something the wrong way. That's just how it is nowadays.

It may create a bad image towards Muslims when it comes to Western society but have you ever thought that maybe outside of our countries, the rest just think that we are ignorant, offensive pricks?

I agree with you, all the way on that. The demonisation started from 9/11 and hasn't stopped since.
ETA: Actually, thinking back. The Islamic terrorist threat was hyped up before 9/11 and then 9/11 got the ball rolling in everyones minds for what we are seeing now. Obvious mind control.edit on 24-9-2012 by Wide-Eyes because: (no reason given)

Why wouldn't they call them muslims? They ARE muslims, this is by far the dumbest point I've read on ATS for a long time. Talk about newspeak, stop being so god damned sensitive, this is beyond ridiculous, getting offended by the truth..
So we're not supposed to call things by their proper names anymore, does this apply to every group and thing or just muslims?
this is by far the dumbest point I've read on ATS for a long time.
You can call this a propaganda machine, but I really dont think it is. The problem with the muslim religion is that it isnt just a religion, it comes with law, economics, how you must live your life.

Who told us to fear that?
Did Islam and Muslims pop up over night after 9-11? They have been around for a very long time.
In the West, we have jumped on the word Muslim in a way that depicts violence and death. You only have to see some of the posts here on this thread to see that.
What gains can be made by turning public opinion against a whole swathe of people due to the religion they follow?
It's a bit like in the very Anti-American Countries, where Americans are seen as the Great Satan, you create an image to the masses that can allow you to wield your power. When in fact the average American is quite a peace loving normal person.
