A remark is stupid because it’s stupid, not because it’s from a newbie.

Old farts can and do post stupid things.

I have run afoul myself of the accusation that if you point out an accusation against Muslims is untrue, or even that Muslims aren’t involved, you’re “defending Muslims.”

Don’t these idiots realize that the best possible way to discredit legitimate criticisms of Islam and Islamists is to post idiotic claims that are easily proven wrong?

In the case in question, I’ve been unable to find much info on the religion of the parties, but I believe the young lady was Hindu and at least one of her rapists a Muslim.

If anybody has actual evidence as to the religious background of the perps, I’m interested. Not just articles by people assuming they’re Muslim because they did such a terrible thing.

Exactly....It’s similar to the overuse of the word “racism”. It’s been so watered down it has become virtually meaningless.
