Re: Remember, Diversity is Our Strength
My point is simply we are not a theocracy.
Why should a man whos religion may be based on a tenant of violence BUT refrains from committing acts of violence be culturally unwelcome while considering a man who commits acts of violence, even tho his faith is based on compassion and forgiveness, culturally acceptable.

Re: Remember, Diversity is Our Strength
??? Not sure who you were arguing that point with... but it wasn't me.

And
That you would not invite a man who actively molests children but says that he doesn't because he's religious, to be your Boy Scout Troop Leader.Last edited by owknows; 10-17-2020 at 12:02 AM.

Re: Remember, Diversity is Our Strength
Your "cultural enrichment" is in it's early phases...
Only 50,000 or so...
But don't worry... it's coming...

Re: Remember, Diversity is Our Strength
Based on many posts I can only assume the implication by many here is all Muslims are bad, that Muslims are culturally different and shouldnt be allowed in due to their religious tenant of violence (the OP linked to a beheading story) and subjication. Its not me implying that they are prone to "unnatural acts" utilizing hypotheticals involving boy scouts.
Im the one who said generalizations are bad. Individuals should be vetted. I can only assume since my stance was inadequate that the reason is many believe all Muslims are beheading people and pedophiles.

Re: Remember, Diversity is Our Strength
Is the notion of an analogy lost on you, or are you being intentionally obtuse?
The boy scout example was provided to draw a parallel to the subject under discussion. It was not intended to conflate the two issues... but to show their parallels.
This mode of argumentation is called an analogy.
I assumed that nearly everyone was familiar with the concept.
