I have a moron threshold and you exceeded it Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk So you start out by arguing that your tax dollars shouldn't go to things like PBS because: no one watches it and it doesn't help kids. Two demonstrably false premises. Then you switch your reason to: federal government has no place giving money to nonprofits. Also a stupid premise.

That being said while it makes more sense for Muslims to do it, there is always the possibility I'm wrong, i just find it highly unlikely. I'll agree there are "false flag" attacks/harassment to try and garner support or attention. It's pretty disgusting, and amazingly selfish of the in-group member that perpetrates or falsely claims to have been attacked by racists because it hurts their cause immensely when it's discovered (your post is a fantastic example of the result of false claims). To say "never before by non Muslims" is a huge claim though. Do you honestly refuse to believe there are people that would want to burn down a mosque? I get the feeling that Muslims are even more hated than black people right now in this country, and black churches are burned down almost regularly. These two burned up five of them over the course of a week. Hell, you've got people like Dylann Roof that are even so bold to go shoot them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I understand you've never heard of it, because that depends on how often/where you get your news from. I can't recall a case either (it's just not that hard for me to fathom someone doing it), so I did some research. I was asking if you really find it that unlikely, when black churches are burned down regularly (overnight, while they're empty, in response to your comment). " A former Marine from Indiana has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after admitting he started a fire inside an Ohio mosque because he wanted revenge for the killings of American soldiers overseas. " " Stout, who told investigators that he did not like Islam as a religion " " Carl Dial pleaded guilty in January to arson and sentence-enhancing allegations of perpetrating a hate crime " " Joseph Michael Schreiber, 32, is accused of setting off a blaze that burned a 10-foot hole in the Fort Pierce Islamic Center just around midnight on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. " " In a distant echo of the mass murder last month in Norway, a young man who once described himself to police as a “Christian warrior” and talked about a jihad against Muslims " Here's one that happened this month -- motive is still being determined, but the mosque that was burned had a restraining order against the arsonist. And of course, you're right to a degree -- there are individuals that burned their own mosques down http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2016/12/11/texas-muslim-pleads-guilty-to-setting-fire-to-his-own-mosque/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

driz 2626 Posted January 29, 2017 I said empty mosques, these were not empty. I fully believe and am aware that US hate groups will burn a mosque containing people. Any links where whites waited for the Muslims to leave before starting the fire? Only Muslims would ensure that their fellows aren't harmed in the fire, just like they did in Iraq. Our hate groups obviously don't care if they hurt people while committing arsonBased on the Google search you used trav, it would appear you didn't actually read any of those. Your links actually supported what I didIn the end, like I said, I've seen this multiple times and I have a opinion on what happened. I could be wrong, only time will tell.

It's kinda funny that we still "debate" to these lengths when they'll really go no where because people are already set in their ways, especially with respect to American politics.

Of course we will -- looking at your enemy as less than human makes it easier to do what you do. @ChosenOne2000 and I have spoken about this before, probably about 5-6 years ago at this point. It makes your job easier, and makes coping with the shit you have to do easier. I don't fault you for it, and I hope it helps/ed you. I won't lie, I've got less than stellar opinions of Muslims as a whole too. But I do what I can to make sure my worldview is informed by fact, not by "alternative facts," or whatever biases I have. We've shown you examples of mosques, here in the US, that were burned down by people targeting Muslims. It's up to you whether that will inform your opinion going forward.

I think the point Driz is trying to make is if a Mosque is burned down and no one was inside during the fire, it then means it is more than likely started by a Muslim. People burn down Mosques with people inside them all the time and thats when it is non-muslims commiting the act. According to Driz, when a Mosque is burned down and no one was inside of it, it is safe to assume it was started by a fellow Muslim. If a non-muslim wanted to burn down a Mosque they would be sure there were people inside of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The minor details as you call them were my whole point and therefore not minor at all. Lets call a spade a spade. This mosque could have been burnt down by a muslim, a white nationalist, a teenager, etc. who knows. We don't have the facts at this moment in time. The fact of the matter is, this mosque was burned hours after Trumps announcement on banning Muslims. To say it's more likely to be burned down by a Muslim is just assuming. We should just wait on assuming until we see the evidence of who did it haha.

ChosenOne2000 4440 Posted January 29, 2017 On page 1, Trump was talking about grabbing pussy. On page 9, we're debating who burnt down a mosque. Only in sG... Anyways, how about a new theory? If Someone didn't want to get caught, might they start the fire with no potential witnesses? This goes for Muslims and non Muslims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
