Ugh, DU. The anti-Muslim sentiment here is getting to me.

217. Oh FFS, where? I've been called a bigot because I object to women having to wear a burqa

and that I don't understand their "culture".

Do you think objecting to disappearing women in a society is being bigoted against Muslims? More than a few DUers do, and have vociferously called me on that. Why do you get to decide whose bigoted and under what rubric?

DUers who stand up for the 1st Amendment, despite qualifying their position that the film is disgusting, are being called Islamophobic bigots.

What gives you the right to determine whose a "flat out bigot" against Muslims, and who isn't? There's a Muslim DUer, JCMach1 who's just returned from almost 10 years in the UAE, he has a recent post where he stipulates Islam is being radicalized across the board in most Muslim countries - he agrees with (gasp) Netanyahu. Even stating such a thing by almost any other DUer would get one tossed as a troll on DU. Is HE a bigot too?

Sorry but this is bullshit.
