Well, I don't think that ridicule is the way to go. But you seem comfortable with it. boston bean Jun 2016 #4

I'm comfortable ridiculing idiots who shout Islam. trumad Jun 2016 #6

I think others may have to think a bit deeper as well. boston bean Jun 2016 #8

I'd be happy if DU would stop claiming this guy 'suddenly' picked up bigotry from nowhere Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #17

What you posted is important. Consider an OP! JudyM Jun 2016 #18

Thank you. cwydro Jun 2016 #35

Frankly I'd rather nuke all religions but fundamentalism is abhorrent csziggy Jun 2016 #56
