We have had too many Islam-instigated attacks on us to regard this as a simply philosophical matter, and aying that people here are bigots is ridiculous. If Islam left me alone, I’d leave it alone. But it never does.
Mormons have not attacked other Americans (recently, although they used to do so). I don’t think they would, or at any rate, the mainstream Mormons would not, and I think the fact that he was Mormon was interesting but did not motivate him to do what he did.
He was psychotic, but psychotics often look for a greater “cause” to which they can ally themselves and feel more justified.
‘and aying that people here are bigots is ridiculous.’
I didn’t say all posters here at FR are ‘bigots’.
Lets be crystal clear, so as to avoid any irrational accusations, which you come very close to with this statement related to me.
I’ve seen some bigoted comments in this forum related to Romney and his religious point of view. I’ve seen more than one thread specifically about that alone.
I’ve seen posters make one comment on a Romney thread - ‘I won’t vote for a Mormon’.
Thats bigotry, by definition.
Thats not how all freepers feel, thats not even a significant percentage of freepers.
But it will be used at some time in the future to paint FR as a bigoted forum by those that simply detest this website.
Remember the hit piece O’Reilly did just a few weeks back?
Same thing can, and I believe WILL be done between now and next November, if Romney ends up the nominee. Watch and see.
It doesn’t help FR, it doesn’t help anyone running against Romney, it doesn’t help the GOP.
It does help those that would love to see this site disappear, however.
