I get it that you hate religion,

That's like arguing...
I get it. You hate Nazism, but people other than Nazis have murdered, so you shouldn't pick on Nazism and call it evil.

It's a bogus argument. None of my statements or the facts that back them up have anything to do with me personally. The messenger is irrelevant to the message.

Meanwhile, in California, a white kid from Indiana was on his way to gay pride to do the same thing:

Somewhat pales in comparison to Christian acts of terrorism--and after 2013 you'll see a huge increase in the numbers in 2015 and what's already happened in 2016:

And it's really not that hard. The majority of people in the world, no matter whether atheist, agnostic or religious are peaceful. When certain cultures/movements/religions create a temporary imbalance (a skew towards violence) and threaten a country's peace/traditions and/or economic stability, then you simply limit or ban their influx until they sort out their issues. That's really the essence of the current anti-immigration and patriotic movements. There are always people who either react with radical "solutions" or do nothing (for different reasons/agendas), while ironically calling those with the most practical and effective solutions 'racist', 'bigot', 'divisive' or 'radical'.

Where do I come up with this whacky shit?

Kind of odd that the Christian countries have no penalties for being gay, but the Muslim ones do.

The only exception is sparsely populated Caribbean Countries populated by Blacks, and Indonesia.

Hillary's top donors have the death penalty for Homosexuality. Will she give back the money? Hmmm

Once upon a time I was waiting for the bus to get back from work. Some crazy dude was flapping around in the street. He came up to me and was like "THEY tried to hit on me. Those FAGGOTS!"

He had just come from Ramrod down the street. Nevermind the naked sweaty dudes on the posters outside, but what kind of dumbass do you have to be to go to a club called Ramrod, I mean the only bigger giveaway would have been calling it the Blue Oyster, and not expect Gayness?

He ran out in the middle of the street and reached out and bashed somebody's side mirror. That's when the bus came. Disturbing to see self-hate in all it's glory.

Sharingmyintelligencewiththedumbasses says

Timothy Mcveigh = 168

Did you forget about 9/11, which involved I think six? 3,000?

Or do you not consider that a technical act of terrorism?

Omar has been married, and has a kid, so he's been heterosexual at least some of the time and likely not gay.

Those trailer trash up on the Treasure Coast will fuck anything.

Would it make a difference if he was any race and not Muslim ? You seem to be equally bigoted to white people.

bullshit. I make a comparison, so you can see the difference response, and you try to paint me with your racisms.

It’s problematic to use the Mateen family presence in America to bolster a forward-looking immigration policy that would ban Muslim immigrants “until we find out what’s going on”, as Trump puts it, because the father was highly politically and culturally active in observable media and the son, somewhat the same, was interviewed twice by the FBI. It can’t be written off to a liberal bias that the FBI didn’t turn up sufficient evidence to detain or deport the son unless one argues that he should have been waterboarded two years in advance of committing a terrorist act or that the entire family shouldn’t have been allowed to immigrate at a time when we were supporting their plight. The point is that if there is nothing actionable “going on”, which was evidently the case here, then the only instructive lesson is to ban Muslim immigrants and deport Muslim Americans regardless of their observable history. Detention, internment, vetting, investigation, torture and interrogation will not be any guarantee. Some will argue that we will be safer, and that the guarantee is a strawman. Perhaps. Others will argue that this is just shutting the barn door after the horse has left. Remember, though, this was a politically and culturally robust family that immigrated in the 80s and its terrorist son was investigated at least twice. Given those two facts, objectively consider how we should be instructed by this. What was wrongly done? Where is the mistake that needs correction?

We need to treat potential terrorists under a different set of laws. Giving them the same rights as ordinary criminals is the mistake that needs correction.

A lot of people laughed at Donald Trump when he suggested a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country. No doubt they thought he was further harming his chances in the general election.

No one is laughing now. What’s more, I expect many are quietly wondering if the “temporary” ban might have to be permanent. Western capitalist democracy gave women and gays equal footing in society; Islam has arrived to roll the clock back.

Only one presidential candidate is being honest about it, which is why, if you are gay, there’s really only one choice in this election. (It was Latino night at the gay club, incidentally — Hispanics may wish to consider that, too.)

We’ve also learned in the past few hours that the killer was already being watched by the FBI. This happened in Brussels, too. Both times, the security services dropped the ball. Something tells me that they’d be a lot more vigilant, and a lot less lenient to their surveillance targets, under a Trump administration.

It’s not just gay people under threat. Atheist satirists in the west now live in fear of being executed because they drew the wrong cartoon. Women face the terrifying prospect of being attacked at night for wearing a short skirt.

No, we aren't laughing. we are sad for the tragedy in Orlando. BUT that doesn't change the fact that the Donald Trump ban is fucking stupid. This guy was
BORN IN THE USA. So, the Donald Trump ban wouldn't have done anything. Nada. Zip.

Unless, in addition to banning any muslims from coming in, your new plan is to kick out the several million muslims already living here, and anybody from the middle east, cause hell, even if they aren't muslim you can't be too sure...

it is really hard to fathom how fucking stupid you are.

We need simple solutions. Like a ban on Muslims. Like a 1,989-mile wall on the border.

Not complex liberal faggot measures like forbidding mentally-ill fucktards from buying weapons.

Okay, what specifically? What are the specific requirements you suggest that aren't already in place? Felons, check. Certified wackos, check. How do you propose you go about knowing, further, the dark thoughts that might exist in another person's head?

Obligatory:

We need to treat potential terrorists under a different set of laws.

Carefully and completely define “potential terrorist” and the “different set of laws” that should apply. Bear in mind that everyone is a potential terrorist and that Omar Mateen, having been twice investigated by the FBI was able under current law to legally obtain weapons to commit his crime. The definition of “potential terrorist” will be of no meaning if it fails to describe Timothy McVeigh, Nidal Hasan, Dylann Roof, Robert Dear, Omar Mateen, and the San Bernadino shooters.

turtledove says

To begin with: private sellers are not required to run background checks.

Why are you commenting on this incident? By focusing on an event with a large number of deaths, aren't you showing disrespect for those who died in single-victim shootings?

Right now, anybody can buy a used gun with no check whatsoever. They can buy from private parties at gun shows with no check whatsoever.

Right now, and Obama just answered questions about this, people who are on the "no fly terrorist watch list" can still buy guns.

We can discuss later if anybody really needs a 50 round clip for assault style weapons, I'm pretty sure i've got my home covered with my 12 round pump shotgun and my 15 in a clip 45, but your needs might just need all 50 rounds, go figure.

I don't agree.

Sharingmyintelligencewiththedumbasses says

And which states allow you to own it without registering it? How many attacks have been traced to guns acquired at gun shows? I'm quite shocked to learn how many of the real wackos get their guns following all the rules. Funny how those rules don't seem to do anything to eliminate the real crazies from acquiring weapons. It's particularly impressive how often it happens in places with the strictest rules.

HydroCabron says

Well now that is a rather dishonest take on the previous conversation. Perhaps you need to go back and reread the posts. What I said is that it is in poor taste to justify one attack by citing another attack. Your comment is beneath you.

Sharingmyintelligencewiththedumbasses says

"muslims are assholes"

"hey that's racist"

"no, I'm not the racist, you are!"

Given that Islam is a religion and not a race, that is correct.

"I hate Catholicism!"
"Then You are a racist against Filipinos, Irish, Brazilians, Corsicans, Cape Verde Islanders, etc. etc...."

Islam is a religious idea, not a race.

Given the joke where hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, as well as countless tons of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana come across the border on a regular basis, color me skeptical that we can control for 9mm pistols.

I would be hilarious if we got gun control, and when it didn't work the Gun Grabbers called for a 30 foot border wall.

Dispositive but vague. I doubt it matters to many here, but that's the exact route the Nazi's took.

Strategist says

I don't agree.

Then our nation is properly grateful that you are not a lawmaker. As bad as our current Congress is even they understand that laws which address crime address the criminal act and not accidental attributes of the criminals.

Being a Muslim is hardly accidental.

Americans are going crazy over Islam after 50 gays were killed.

Don't they remember when those Christians refused to bake a cake?

Obama will probably say something about how this is a "gun control" issue. Same old bullshit from the white house is expected. He has too much ego to say that he is failing to keep this nation safe from Muslim extremism as a president, especially after he advertised the gay shit all over the world. Was posturing for Putin, oh look how poorly they treat homos, well lookie here. Dumb ass president.

DOn't impress us with all your great insights at once FortWayne.

Sure it is, just like most religious people's choice of faith, it's an accident of birth (note I didn't say all).

Only in the left media. I've consistently stated that religion, all religion, is bad regardless of the specific mythology. Islam today is exactly like Christianity was in the Dark Ages before rationalists and atheists neutered it in the western world. Of course then, Islam is even worse than Christianity. Their followers are more faithful. Faith is evil. Faith by its very nature demands the suspension of critical thought, skepticism, and changing one's mind. It is ludicrous that faith in anything is ever considered a good thing.
