(3,496 posts)Attempts by some to shut down the discussion of others by instantly shouting "BIGOTRY", in order to prevent anyone from identifying a commonality between these two crimes* is called "obscuration" i.e. concealment. Those doing the shouting down insist that we as human beings are incapable of distinguishing between ordinary people who practice the Mulism faith and the proponents of Radical Islam. Which is pretty darn insulting.
Because of this "obscuration", any meaningful analysis of this social and political problem by thoughtful people that might happen, is preemptively "shut down" and drowned out beneath a tidal wave of pathos, suffering, and passion.
