CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I am honestly disgusted that this question exists. Stereotypes are by definition unfair to the population you target. Why the shit would you stereotype Muslims anyway?
Are you kidding me? The hypocrite Left wing bigots constantly steriotype Christians but they are the first ones to complain if Muslims(who mostly say NOTHING while Islamic terrorists kill innocent people) are shown for who they are.
Lets see, what do bigots on the Left say about many Christians. They say we are selfrighteous, judgemental, pioused, closed minded, intolerant, hatemongering zealots.
Can you spell hypocrite?
No one is steriotyping Muslims. We are speaking to the facts of how very few Muslims in this nation are protesting against the terrorists. THAT IS FACT!
1. The Left is overwhelmingly Christian, so you are saying they sterotype themselves.
2. The Left always speaks out, along with everyone else, when terrorism occurs.
3. There are over a billion muslims. You have no idea "who they are", clearly.
4. You are claiming that the Left calls themselves self righteous, judgmental, pioused, closed minded, intolerant, hantemongering zealouts. Of course you are going to say they aren't Christian, which would prove these very claims :P
5. I can spell hypocrite: F-r-o-m-W-i-t-h-i-n. Seriously, even in this very post you are doing exactly what you are complaining about.
6. People have sterptyped Muslims on this very debate.
7. You have been provided with countless evidence that Muslims have been speaking out against terrorism since it first became a problem, and they have done so globally and en mass. You ignore all the evidence because it doesn't come onto FOX (That isn't even a joke, you have actually dismissed it because you haven't seen it on TV). "THAT IS A FACT".
If you want the evidence (again), let me know and I will present it (again) so that you can ignore it (again) and lie about it (again).
First, over 90% of Congress is Christian. Even if that remaining ~8% of non-Christians were all Democrats, that would still leave a majority Christian for the Democratic Party. Outside of Congress, look here. It links to a in depth PEW study, and it requires some math, but it is very straight forward. There aren't enough non-Christians in this country to make the majority of the Left non-Christian, even if every single one of them belonged to the Left (which they don't).
You say "The Left always speaks out, along with everyone else, when terrorism occurs."
3 mins after San Bernadino, the left said it was white ant-gov conservatives.
First, who is this mouthpiece that somehow represents all of the Left that you are referring to? I sure saw those claims in comments sections on rags like Huffington Post, sure, the same way I see comments sections on right-wing websites jumping to conclusions. Neither are representative of "The Left" or "The Right" as a whole.
A stereotype that was incorrect. Such a tragedy could have been averted if neighbors hadn't feared being called racist.
Not really. The couple was already being watched by the FBI, regardless of the neighbors supposed fears.
It's wrong to stereotype a Muslim - but it is not wrong to speak the truth about Islam. Islam is an extremely violent religion, it advocates for killing in almost every sirrah of the Quran. Most Muslims don't follow the fundamentals of their religion, same goes for Christians (if you actually followed the Bible as a Christian you would have killed a very large portion of the population.) In conclusion: don't judge people by their religion as it is only one negative portion of who they are.
Just because your a certain religion, does not mean that it is ok to stereotype them. How would you, Christians, feel if there was a question posed like this one: "Is it wrong to stereotype a Christian?" And I don't like the fact that when some people hear the word "muslim," they think camels and deserts. My parents are Muslims who originated form Europe and I was born in the U.S.A, as a Muslim. There are plenty of Muslims that are not from Arabia. More than you expect!
SHOOT .... Just observe the Quran ... their own book commands Muslims to fight and take land ....
.
Sahih International: Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah ? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment ... http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=9&verse;=111
.
... also .. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/ 023-violence.htm .... the "peaceful" Muslims are the actual apostates of Islam ... this is why they are killed and murdered too ... Islam is not just a belief / religion .... it is mostly a political force bent on world domination by force if need be
No, but then not all snakes are venomous, but as I can't distinguish between the harmless and the poisonous I treat them all as potentially lethal. So, when I see a swarthy skinned, bearded middle eastern looking male, or a moving burqa, ( who knows what's inside?) I instinctively assume ''IT'S'' a murdering terrorist. I don't want them anywhere near me, nor to have anything to do with them. Am I prejudiced? You bet your life, ( not mine) I am.
Stereotypes are most often flagrant exaggerations and damning calumnies against a people who otherwise have no reason to be hated. They are humans, no different than you.
Muslim: Allah! I hate Americans! They think we're all terrorists!
American: Well aren't you?
Muslim:
You would have us believe what? That the Muslim would reply by flying a plane into the American's home? I'd sooner expect an act of contrition, a last-ditch effort to convince their haters that they are not deserving of hate.
I could just as soon announce my hatred of Christians: after all, don't they all bomb abortion clinics and bicker with each other over the most absolutely petty of denominational conflicts?
How might you know the Muslim is not a Radical Islamist ? Obama's vetting process should clear it all up for everyone just call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to get your answer !
I'm sorry, that was a little offensive. Yes, that is what I mean. Middle Eastern people could also be Jewish and Christian, as that is very close to the two religion's holy cities. Also, there might be a select number of Hindus too, as it is pretty close to India.
The largest ethnic Muslim demographic isn't Middle Eastern, however. It is South and South East Asian. In fact, Middle Eastern and African Muslims, combined, make up only 20% of all Muslims.
But even then, the most dangerous radical Islamic group (in terms of damage done) is Boko Haram, which is African. They obviously look very different from how people picture IS members.
True, Africa is always portrayed as a poor continent where people can't afford to eat, nonetheless afford weapons. But in reality, the terrorists are the reason many of them are starving.

Is this relating to terrorism.If so not all muslims are terrorist but most terrorists are muslims. If not it's not wrong to fear muslims because a true muslims belife is to either convert people to being muslim and or kill people who don't agree.
Well unwed non-virgin women shouldn't fear Jews or Christians just because their religion says they should be stoned to death, and that's because 99% of said groups won't do it.
