I don't know, but I know one thing for sure. Everybody who has
legitimate concerns about the impacts of Islam worldwide are not
suffering from a phobia, they are fighting against a backlash of
regressive idiots to identify and find solutions for the growing problems.

I actually have a strong attachment to reality, that's what you can't
abide. You think I should be like you leftist pc libtards who are afraid
to look at reality.

No. The criticism he has of Islam is mainly well supported. My
disagreements with him are a matter of record.

I'm not an Islamophobe. My concerns are based on real evidence, my
response is not violence or vilification (as with your side), it is
constructive.
> Again, she went on for three minutes...you've been going on for years!
Can you recall the last time I started a thread about Islam or Muslims?
I can't. Probably a year, or more. You're the one who is hell bent on
perpetuating this dialogue. I don't start them, but I finish them,
> By the way, Dutch, did you hear about the Islamophobe mayor of Grand Forks apologizing today for his caught-on-tape Islamophobia?
I didn't see any Islamophobia, I saw real fear for the safety of his
citizens.
> Two years ago he did an Islamophobic rant in front of town council, saying he didn't want Syrian refugees settling in Grand Forks because they might be pedophiles or terrorists.
It only take one or two to ruin it for everyone. The London bomber was a
child of refugees and was a normal British born English Muslim boy,
until one day he wasn't.

Oh ya...there was that one guy who grabbed a girls ass at the waterpark. If only our own citizens were as well-behaved as the Syrians! They've driven our crime rate DOWN.
I've never said Syrians refugees were criminals. I hope refugees and the
communities they live in work together towards integration so they feel
welcome and not isolated. That is one of the constructive solutions I
was talking about, if we could ever get past the name calling. But I get
the feeling that the name calling is the end game for you.
