Howard Dean: Paris attackers not ‘Muslim terrorists’

[sabrina 1]

69. Why do you think 'liberals are scared to say anything bad about Islam'? And btw, why do you

ask that as if you are not a liberal? I assume you are, and you don't seem to have any trouble with it?

But let me explain what Liberals won't do. They will not engage in bigotry. They WILL blame fanatics for their murderous rqmpages both here and everywhere else.

Liberals don't blame innocent people for the actions of a few. That is called 'bigotry'.

The brother of the murdered cop who himself was Muslim, has stated that those fanatics are not Muslims, that his brother was. He is angry at the loss of his brother and even more angry that his are calling themselves Muslims.

Many Christians in this country opposed Bush's 'Crusade' into Iraq and felt the same way about Bush's claim his war was justified by his Christian god.

Fanatics exist in every group, religious and non-religious and if every time one of them goes and murders innocent people the knee jerk reaction is 'they are all the same', we are no better than the Right when it comes to labeling entire groups of people for the actions of a few.

Liberals don't do that, I hope that answers your question. It's a dangerous thing to do, which recent history should have taught people.

Already in France due to this bigoted response from the Right, retaliations on innocent Muslims have begun. Far Right bigots just waiting for an opportunity are being provided that by ignorant knee jerk reactions blaming all Muslims for the brutal crimes of those fanatics.

Liberals remember history and do not want to be a part of this. They want the CRIMINALS dealt with, NOT innocent people.

I can't believe there are people HERE on a Liberal forum who don't already understand that innocent people should NOT be blamed for the actions of criminals.

Are all Democrats mass killers because of mass murderer, John Wayne Gacey? Some Right Wingers have actually used that sicko to denigrate all Democrats.
