DUers , I need help!
I was just at another board, where this bozo said that he wanted all Muslims deported from the US and then wanted to kill 1000 Muslims for every American killed. This freeper nonsense which equates Islam with terrorism has really got me down. If anyone reads this and is a member of ezboard, would you mind helping me out? The thread is called "a new order" and it can be found at The Nuclear Submarine at

http://p223.ezboard.com/fthecaboosefrm17

You have to be a registered member of ezboard to post. But I'd appreciate more folks telling this freeper a few things about Islam and about freedom of religion. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting this prejudice by myself, and any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

1. Looks like a pretty right-wing forum to me... what are you doing there?
Stick to DU and I can guarantee that there will be no bigoted posts like that.

2. I can sympathize, but I don't think I can help much.
My husband is fighting the same thing at work. They are saying it in almost the exact words you are using: Kill all the Muslims.

Of course it is stupid. Sometimes the only thing you can do is ignore stupid people. It is easier on your health.

3. Wow, I hate to ask, but what is his profession?
Maybe I'm sheltered, but I never hear that kind of thing from adults. How did he come to work with people like that?
That is so scary.

6. He is a printer,
and a GCIU union member.

Not everyone there is like that, but they have their share of wingnuts and rednecks. There are some very nice people there, too, and some dedicated Democrats.

He tries to avoid the nutcases, and he has actually converted some people to vote for Kerry.

7. I hear this from educated professionals
all the time - I work in computer administration.

Apparently education is no guarantee against stupidity.

5. He won't listen no matter what is said.
Don't waste your time scum like that won't be swayed by facts.
