I guess it isnt after I googled it...wow  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/aclu-lawyers-blame-christian-right-gop-for-orlando-terrorist-attack/article/2593679

I thought it was a joke as well.    Unreal 

All of CAiR's buddies are trying to give the Muslims the cover.

No.  I didn't apply to any in state schools because I couldn't wait to get the **** out of Ohio.  I was surprised by how many people I met in the military from Ohio.  Apparently, I wasn't the only one who wanted out.

The reality is he should just be praying for the families of the victims and praying for the authorities to get to the bottom.   

Yeah heaven forbid he preaches peace and acceptance. What a shit Christian.

Strike two.

How about praying for this shit to end?

If god allows a _______ in Texas to control a tornado, why can't he arrange for a misfire or a stoppage?  Maybe a dud round? Or two?  Maybe the spring falls out the bottom of the magazine and all the rounds fall onto the ground?  Maybe grant telekenetic powers to control the path of the rounds similar to the lady in Texas who can steer tornados?

Why can't y'all pray for that instead of tornado wrangling like you're The Last Airbender or Storm in Xmen?

It appears ESPN has a double-standard on responding to political issues:

So in a country where we have done everything possible to undermine the LGBTQ community, we are suddenly lecturing Islam on homophobia. Oh.

12:50 PM - 12 Jun 2016

But at least the author "gets it"

Quote:According to a 2015 Pew Research poll, a majority of Muslims in the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia favor making sharia the official law in their countries –– with support often rising above 80%. Homosexuality also may be punishable by death in 10 majority Muslim nations in the Middle East and Africa, many of which practice some form of Sharia law. To ignore those facts and create a false equivalency between the tolerance towards the LGBT community in the United States –– where same-sex marriage is legal and 21 states have some form of anti-transgender discrimination laws on their books –– and many Arab nations is mindless pandering.

A radical Muslim shots up a gay bar and it's Christian's fault. You can't make this stuff up.

Hate to respond to someone who won't respond because I call him out on his BS....but...

Is that quote (with no link) the same one that got raked over the coals because the guy took one poll and extrapolated it to the entirity of people who have that religion?

Hopefully someone will read this to you and you can have them respond for you.

I have mentioned this is the past. I was taught ***** was a slur, but if folks want to be called that; then I too, am behind the times.

As far as the acronym: I seen a N (no not for that) and a few other letters thrown in there from time to time. No matter what you say; someone that wants to be offended will be.

Or we could just shut down immigration from that region so we can sort out the people here.

That should be bolded and in a 5000 font.  Especially around here

Kind of reinforces the whole "______" idea, as not to offend by getting a letter wrong or forgetting one.
I think a symbol would work better to unify under.
Maybe an ampersand or question mark ?

I've been told I'd be considered one.

Agreed.   How about this for a symbol?

I'll remind everyone that using terms, symbols or slang to go around the word filter is not recommended. If you'd like to have a civil discussion about an action or group of people, try to stick to the actual terms and not other jargon.

Thanks!

Dang, I thought the would I used for Q (rhymes with steer) was the actual term; but it got the *******. As I said: If someone is looking to be offended they will be.
