Yes, this is a difficult subject, yet worthy of attention. But the post is called "Islam in America"; not "Bash all Muslims" through absurd lies and accusations. Why don't we try to post (I did)
a few good things about Islam in America? Most of the millions if Muslims in America are law abiding good citizens. Rather than Muslims in America, it's our far right zealots who seem to be creating the murders and terror lately. Maybe we should start a new thread?
A lot can and has been learned on this forum: I have. However, recently Ojectivist1 has not been posting credible sources. I think nearly everyone (Objectivist1 excepted) think Geller is a true Wacko.
So what happens is similar to if your neighborhood five year old said a Martian was hiding behind every tree, you really wouldn't pay much attention or give it any credibility. If the child
kept it up, you would tell him to stop his absurd comments. Yet, if JPL here in Pasadena said the same thing, I would start to pay attention. Moreover, I would check further into it. It's
a matter of credibility. The same applies to economics. While I respect Doug's opinion, I respect him even more (even though I might not always agree) because he backs up his opinion
with very credible and respected sources. That is important.
Objectivist1 hasn't posted any arguments from a source that deserves attention more than that five year old child crying "The Martians are coming". In contrast, if you do read my respected references,
they debunk the accusations. For example Objectivist1 implied that the Muslim Brotherhood was paying for Abedin's new million dollar apartment. But that's like the Martians are coming; reality,
as I posted, is a Jewish man, a friend of the Clinton's, owns the house and is giving it to them either free or at a reduced rate. Further, everyone knows that these matters are carefully reviewed by
government. If I had to guess the disclosure form is over 50 pages long. Of course she notified her superiors of her pending move; given the FACTS, there was no problem.
That's the issue. Objectivist1 has no FACTS. His posts are just rumor, baseless accusations, and slime, etc. And most of his sources are vile and no bodies; individuals with no credibility. In contrast, I've tried to quote senior Republican individuals and sources. I suppose I could quote Democrats too, but that would be too easy to refute Objectivist1.
No one, at least no one with any credibility believes that
the accusations posted by Objectivist1 have any merit.
So just like the little child yelling, "The Martians are coming" I either ignore him or try to point him to reliable sources. But how can you argue with an ignorant little child if they truly are seeing Martians
behind every tree?
