You'll notice that ISIS does not tolerate Western Journalists that well. Maybe it's because they just don't have "enough" love to go around.<br /><br />This is not Hate Speech. This is Truth Speech.

Probably a decent guy, her dad Abu Bakr really thinks the world of him so he must be OK. She was "innocent" "prepubescent" and went with the flow because she had no real understanding of the world beyond dolls. When a child acts like a child, its called "innocence." When an adult who should know better acts like a child, it's called ignorance if without malice. With malice I would call it stupidity. Those are the ones who think everyone should remain as stupid as themselves.

This is an accurate, non-judgmental term that may make them ask, "What am I unacquainted with?" That could open a door to an open, and initially at least, dispassionate discussion. It also points to their lack of knowledge without making is seem like an insult.<br />There is nothing morally wrong with my being unacquainted with the fellow who lives down the street and there is nothing morally wrong with them being unacquainted with the true nature of Islam.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-4572849318646880472013-06-04T15:47:22.406-07:002013-06-04T15:47:22.406-07:00Low Information Non-Muslims
Low Information Ratio...Low Information Non-Muslims <br />Low Information Rationalsts<br /><br /><br />Low information rationality is a social theory that states that people are information consumers with limited benefits and time for processing and understanding information. Due to the limited benefits and time individuals have for learning new information, individuals use various shortcuts and heuristics to understand information quicker. Simply put, it does not make sense for the average individual to develop in depth understandings of most issues. The theory is often used to explain the limited understanding of politics and scientific technologies by the general public.<br />pkeyrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570129885771582948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-36987441561964606282013-06-03T11:38:11.959-07:002013-06-03T11:38:11.959-07:00Someone emailed this comment:

Not for the end purpose of mocking them or shaming them, or silencing them but rather, for the simple strategy of bringing them to our side, which is the correct side. Nobody likes to feel stupid, or to be laughed at, or to feel shame. The fact is, that those who insist that islam is a religion of peace ARE being stupid (i would say blinded by PC and the media/elites), because they are not informing themselves properly about a critically important subject. PCism is indeed a powerful hypnosis that affects us all to varying degrees. Someone who is deeply affected by this virus needs something powerful to snap them out of it. Feeling stupid and/or shameful about what one has been standing for could deliver the requisite ingredients necessary to wake people out of this slumber and face reality. What do you think?

Thank you for caring for and understanding our magnificent gift, freedom, and fighting for it. <br /><br />That being said, I disagree with the term "innocent" for those unaware of the dangers of Islam. It's too general a term that I feel should be used in a different context. The end result of these people's ignorance is potentially so dangerous for other Americans, and people worldwide, that it is far from "innocent". The picture you have in this email shows two older men who appear very ernest while holding up their righteous signs. Frankly, before I publicly held up a sign saying anything at all, I would do at least minimal research to make sure I was correct. These men apparently feel there are "attacks" and "bigotry" towards Muslims but appear not to have looked at the other side of that argument. There is so much evidence of the dangers of Islam that is widely available. How about a sign that reads: "Stop Honor Killings" or "Stop Genital Mutilation" or "Stop Beheading/Stoning/Raping....." ? Ignorance is not innocent. <br /><br />Signed,<br />An American InfidelCitizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-85899440827856377812013-05-30T00:36:25.426-07:002013-05-30T00:36:25.426-07:00Someone emailed this:
