Racist Man admits murder and mosque blasts


You're clearly not getting the logic, or the meaning of the word "race".

So we should get rid of the word race altogether?

Because "african americans" arent a race because we can call them Africans, white isn't a race because we can call them whites, etc?


It's like saying light isn't radiation because it's light, lmao :D.

You do realise the word "race" isn't just for ethnicity?

Yes Islam on it's own is a religion, but the word "race" can actually be used to describe the collective people of Islam or the "ummah". Remember the word race means a group of humans with a particular commonality, it's not just limited to geographic or ethnic. There are over a billion Muslims, therefore, sorry, but people of Islam are a race.

Here read that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_classification)

It's such a common misconception. One which never fails to make me facepalm. Yes everyone knows Islam is a religion, but doesn't mean the collective people of Islam cannot be defined as race.

So if I convert to Islam I change race? .....where's that facepalm smiley?

I wish we would as it tends to be used divisively.

Generally though you can't change your ethnicity, you can however change your religion.

See you're still using the elementary definition of race. I didn't say you're going to turn black or white.

No you won't "change race", however you will become part of the collective of Muslims on earth which can be defined as a race.

So if a Muslim becomes a Christian his race changes? Or does he leave the collective of Muslims which can be defined as a race and then join the collective of Christians which can be defined as a race?
 
Good god. I'm not going to try changing the views of someone who's being stubborn.

You want to learn something? just open the following Wiki page and read the first 25 words, especially the 25th word.

Then if you want to know why, proceed to read the whole article.

It's actually quite simple, go on :).

And don't ask me for any more, it's like trying to teach the class clown who doesn't want to be taught, except I'm not getting paid for it. :p

Is the racism element even relevant?

He murdered someone, the reason behind it isn't important.

Is it relevant? Erm, yea it is relevant.

Yes he murdered someone. A full on racist attack. Decides to blow up mosques which says it all. According to the scum,

White people are better then anyone else.

White people eh?

It is important, micro agressions occur towards people based on race all the time, racism isn't just the hard N word and murder, and pretending racism is just a random thing does not help. We need to examine motivations for random mursers.

Does this anger you as much as the attack on the soldier a while back? Also what are your views on "White people are better then anyone else."?

Personally I don't think the racism is relevant when it comes to murder, I would find the fact that he was apparently defenseless more of a worry.

It's important to understand the underline cause of a given behaviour.

But - what I would say is that it's not any worse than another attack, or if the scale was comparable (which it isn't in it's death toll) to say when Anders Breivik killed a load of people simply for being 'left-wing'.

I don't see much different between hating somebody for being a certain colour, or hating somebody for any other similar stupid unjustifiable reason.

Racism in most cases is the 'many against the few', all cultures have problems with racism within them - for example, Israel has a huge problem with anti-African racism, Christians have a hard time in some of the middle east/Egypt, Middle eastern people have issues in France.

It's nothing new.

I get it, I just happen to disagree with it. Anything that is changeable shouldn't really be classified as race. Not that race really matters anyway.

People that blow up/stab/murder innocent people are evil scum. To do so because of the colour of another persons skin seems not just evil but archaic and primitive, sadly there isn't a race on this planet that doesn't have a contingent of anti *fill the blank* people within it.
