    FTFY. Remember, this shit happens to kids who aren't Muslim, too--remember the kind who bit a pop-tart into a sort of gun shape and teachers freaked out, apparently because they thought he might...kill them with jelly?

    Because some fucktard's going to misunderstand, I'll make it clear: it's every bit as bad that this happened to this kid as it is to every other kid it happened to. Calling out that he's a Muslim and claiming--or even suggesting--that has anything to do with it, is BS.

    You fail logic, as usual.

    I'll try to explain it again, even knowing your head is so far up your own ass you will refuse to and/or are unable to, understand.

    There's no indication of any kind that this kid's religion has anything to do with his getting in trouble. Therefore it's irresponsible to even mention it, because it winds fucktards like you up, who are more than willing to assume it's soi-disant "Islamophobia" in the absence of evidence that ever entered into the decision.

    It's far, far, more likely that the kid just drew something his teacher misinterpreted and freaked out about, but that doesn't generate outrage.

    You know, @FrostCat is actually right for once. First we need to find out how many white kids were turned in as terrorists for drawing cucumbers and knives and knives cutting cucumbers. And men cutting cucumbers, and out of scale knives.

    Of course that's kind of futile. Because if we found that 100 out of 100 reports were on Muslim kids, he'd just say, "Well the 101st might be a white kid, and would completely invalidate the racism angle."

    Also, the guy who was told he couldn't get on an airplane because he had a Transformers tee shirt, and the person who couldn't get on a flight because of wearing a necklace with a pistol charm on it, were also white.

    Also, you ignorant slut, I have never said that all Muslims are dangerous/bad. Morons like you, however, insist that we can't even consider the possibility that any of them are. Perhaps if you go turn off your computer and think about it for a very long time, you might figure out where the problem in that attitude is. Instead of screeching about "Islamophobia", you might consider why so many Muslims keep blowing themselves up with the intent of taking as many kufaair with them. I hope that neither you nor anyone you care about are ever injured or killed in a terrorist bombing like yesterday's Brussels incident, and I remain optimistic that you may someday take off your blinkers, so that the West can have an actual conversation about all the Muslims who do, in fact, want to kill or convert everyone in Dar al Harb. Of course, I bet you'll refuse to ever consider the meaning of that last term, which was not invented by a non-Muslim.

    No, you just weasel around it, writing things like:

    Just for the sake of discussion, if I had to implement such a thing, my first idea would be "nobody from countries like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia comes into the US", and I'd try to refine it from there.

    Hmmm...let's see, why ban everyone from those countries? Oh, right, because Trump said:

    As far as Trump is going--at least he's saying "hey, there's a problem we should address, and that's that roughly all the terrorists in the world today are Muslim". Nobody else is even capable of admitting that there is a problem. You cannot come up with even a partial solution if you can't admit there's a problem.

    You might weasel around it, but it's quite clear you support the "every Muslim is a terrorist" crowd; your advocacy and your choice of quotes show that clear as day. You're not fooling anyone.

    If I had to report stupid stuff like drawing knives as possible extremism (or, in the US, that violated moronic Zero Tolerance policies) then I would have reported this kid too, because I presumably would've wanted to keep my job. I realize that such nuances may be beyond someone who blindly assumes any report of suspicious behavior by someone who happens to be a Muslim simply must be "Islamophobia".

    Irregardless, it's no better or worse than when it happens to white kids or those of any other color, religion, or other group. Also, see my very first post, where I said this was "every bit as bad that this happened to this kid as it is to every other kid it happened to," because I just knew some fucktard was going to claim I was some kind of racist[1] no matter what disclaimer I put on, and @CoyneTheDup obligingly shit himself and did so.

    Did you know that when airbags became widespread, reported injury rates in accidents went up quite a bit? People investigated it and found out that if you are killed in a car accident and also break a leg or something, nobody bothered to write the additional injury down.

    And yet, for this widely reviled "radicalization" law, the very first case of its being applied and reported in the media involved a Muslim kid. When Muslim kids are just so common in UK. How amazing is that?

    As for the "extremism" title, well, from the Guardian:

    The case is the latest chapter in the often unhappy story of the relationship between British Muslims and the various incarnations of the governmentโ€™s anti-terrorism Prevent programme. In particular, the motherโ€™s lawyer and activists now also say that the incident raises questions about the circumstances in which 19 children were referred last year to a panel which, under Preventโ€™s Channel initiative, assesses those at risk from radicalisation and recommends possible interventions.

    Tell me again with a straight face that "extremism" and "radicalization" don't really have anything to do with--aren't euphamisms for--terrorism.

    You're saying you think getting a few days off from school is worse for a child than being threatened with systematic racism because your family is of middle-eastern descent. In lieu of a lengthy post explaining how wrong this is - again (I'm seriously tired of people acting like racism is a minor or non-issue) - let me simply say fuck you.


  • BINNED

    @Fox So you didn't get it. What @FrostCat is saying is it's separate issues. The law under which the kid was reported applies to everyone, otherwise it would be unconstitutional. If someone chooses to apply that law based on race then that person is being a racist and is breaking a different law, completely unrelated to the first one.

    Now, was the teacher racist? Maybe. But it's impossible to know this without further evidence, you're just asserting this. And saying it's systematic is plain wrong because there's nothing in the law that targets a religion, nationality or race.

    Unless the system you're talking is some nebulous concept where people enforcing the system are the members of it because they are "white" or something. In which case, there's a flaw in that thinking, let's see if you can find it.

    But that's exactly the thing with these laws--I don't even have a good name for them, so for discussion let's call them Modern Jim Crow laws. Lawmakers tell us with forced smiles that these laws are meant to apply equally to everyone. But their very design and the training that goes with them makes them--wink-wink-nudge-nudge discrimination laws designed for discrimination at time of application.

    They aren't just unfair, they are fucking unfair in their very conception.

    So I found this finally, that gives us figures for this particular Prevent law: In 67% of the cases discussed in the article, the child was Muslim. Do you think the teachers are getting the message of who it is to be applied to? Do you think the Muslims might think this law is about them?

    The Stop and Frisk law in New York City: In 2011, 92% of the people stopped were male; 87% black or Latino. In some cases, individuals were stopped multiple times on the same block by officers in sight of each other. Do you think those black and Latino males were getting the message that walking was illegal for them?

    The Voter Identification laws...well, I'll just let the article say it:

    When looking at the voter turnout rates between whites and non-whites under voter ID laws, the guidelines continued to have a dampening effect. White voters already generally cast ballots at higher rates than Latino and black voters in most states, but that imbalance is intensified by voter ID requirements. In states where ID is not needed to vote, the gap between white and Latino turnout rates is just 5.3 percent in general elections. But that number jumps to 11.9 percent in states that do require ID. Thereโ€™s a 4.8 percent gap between black and white turnout in non-voter ID states compared with a 8.5 percent gap between black and white voters in voter ID states.

    Do you think maybe the blacks and Latinos are getting the message that they're not supposed to vote?

    But when this is pointed out, oh-so-clever people on the Conservative side (politicians, pundits, even rank and file)...that can detect the tiniest slight in the media, Second Amendment, states's rights, SJW...all of a sudden those people turn dumb-and-dumber and start talking about how, "There's nothing in the law that intends that result, the law is fair on its face."

    Bullshit. We have a phrase for people who dodge issues like that: mealy-mouthed.

    Racism and bigotry are back in ways I would never have imagined in November, 2000. Blacks are all thugs, gang-bangers, welfare cheats, and prostitutes that deserve to be murdered at the slightest pretext; but when they plead #BlackLivesMatter, "OMG they're racist." Every Muslim is a terrorist, but we'll pretend the radicalization law isn't about them, even as thousands of them are shoveled into bureaucratic hell. One of my favorites, every illegal (because there is No Such Thing as a legal immigrant) is a welfare leach on all our social services--even as they take all our best jobs. And of course, vote; they must vote because how else will we keep them f_____g blacks from voting for a Democrat?

    I'm very tired of all of this.

    See above. Also, yes, they are a higher risk group, but not because of descent but because of religious indoctrination. And the part of the reason Islam can still get away with this shit is because there's this constant fear of "anti radical Islam === racist. If we could slap down Islam's bullshit like we did with Christianity ages ago I suspect there would be some positive movement in this regard.

    No, I'm saying that the laws were openly written to permit bigotry.

    Take Stop and Frisk. It was created because the mayor of NYC perceived that blacks and Latinos were the cause of every evil in the city. But one thing we did accomplish in 40 years of civil rights law, no one can openly pass a law that says, "Officers shall hereby stop and frisk all niggers and spics on the slightest suspicion or even no suspicion." Writing that would be gauche.

    So they write it, "Officers shall hereby stop and frisk anyone on the slightest suspicion or even no suspicion." Even as they grin slyly among themselves, "And we know what we mean by anyone, don't we?" [wink, wink, nudge, nudge "Know what I mean? Know what I mean?"

    Then it goes to the commanders. They understand the message full well, and so they create training programs. And the training programs don't say officers should only stop blacks and Latinos but, funny thing, all the pictures in the training program are blacks and Latinos, and the focus is on black and Latino neighborhoods. And the trainers use euphemisms like "thug" and "gang-banger", which we all know what those mean, don't we? And the rank and file gets the message [wink, wink, nudge, nudge] "Know what I mean? Know what I mean?""]

    So niggers and spics are stopped everywhere; as I noted, sometimes multiple times on the same block. And they complain, and people who aren't bigoted are outraged. Questions are raised. And NYC government is happy to confirm that there's nothing racist in the law; there's nothing racist in the training (No, you can't see that because it's a NATIONAL SECRET.) And there's no orders or handouts we give the officers that would encourage racism (but you're not allowed to see those either...NATIONAL SECRET again). And it's not like we tell the officers to stop only blacks and Latinos but we want to be fair so it's not like we discourage it either. And it's not like we rate officers by the number of blacks or Latinos they stop (but we do rate them by whether those stops are in the neighborhoods where blacks or Latinos live...but that, too, is a NATIONAL SECRET.)

    So the result is a program so evidently racist that NYC had to be ordered by a federal judge (twice) to discontinue it entirely.

    But there is nothing overtly racist, so according to bigots that makes it okay,.

    And the fact that the mayor and police commisioner wanted police to stop all niggers and spics on any pretext, created a law that permitted it, that their desires and the desires of other bigots were all communicated [wink, wink, nudge, nudge, "Know what I mean? Know what I mean?"] with nothing on paper we can see is supposed to excuse the entire racist edifice.

    And when the inevitable result is manifest, then the architects of the situation turn mealy-mouthed and say, "Well, we didn't really intend that." Everyone, on every side, knows full well what they intended but plausible deniability, that's the modern bigot's watchwords.

    But when this is pointed out, oh-so-clever people on the Conservative side (politicians, pundits, even rank and file)...that can detect the tiniest slight in the media, Second Amendment, states's rights, SJW...all of a sudden those people turn dumb-and-dumber and start talking about how, "There's nothing in the law that intends that result, the law is fair on its face."

    Bullshit. We have a phrase for people who dodge issues like that: mealy-mouthed.

    Can you give me even the slightest idea on how a law that only requires a government ID and is applied equally to everyone is racist? Because I don't get it. Are blacks and latinos being prevented from getting those IDs?

    Racism and bigotry are back in ways I would never have imagined in November, 2000. Blacks are all thugs, gang-bangers, welfare cheats, and prostitutes that deserve to be murdered at the slightest pretext

    Where the fuck do you get this stuff? What sort of fucked up, twisted shit are you swallowing where you think that this is any sort of opinion that sane people hold? Maybe at a Klan meeting...but not in general society.

    but when they plead #BlackLivesMatter, "OMG they're racist."

    Because they are. BLM would be classified as a hate group in any society that is not afraid of getting the race card pulled on them.

    Every Muslim is a terrorist, but we'll pretend the radicalization law isn't about them, even as thousands of them are shoveled into bureaucratic hell.

    No one thinks that every Muslim is a terrorist. You are just making shit up at this point. But, you are absolutely delusional if you stick your fingers in your ears whenever anyone tries to point out that although almost every single Muslim is peaceful, at the same time almost every single modern terrorist is a Muslim. Your side of the argument is that we cannot even look at Muslims for terrorist connections because that would be Islamophobic. That is stupid.

    And of course, vote; they must vote because how else will we keep them f_____g blacks from voting for a Democrat?
