Israeli anti-immigration riots hit African neighbourhood of Tel Aviv: "Blacks out!" shouted demonstrators in the crowd, while others yelled "Send the Sudanese back to Sudan", as other protesters derided the "bleeding-heart leftists" working to help them. by TrainerRedin worldnews

Since we're playing the "What about" game, might as well answer the following:

I invite you to go to Saudi Arabia and tell them you are a Jew.

I invite you to go to Israel and announce that you're an African immigrant.

go to Sudan and see the war there.

or go to Gaza and see the blockade there.

Or maybe you should visit Turkey and tell them you believe the Armenian genocide actually happened.

How about visiting Israel and telling them that you boycott Israeli products (or even products made on occupied Palestinian lands) ? Oh wait, they wouldn't let you in if they knew that you hold anti-Israeli views.

Do you have university access (subscription) to academic journals ? I suggest you first checkout the Oxford Bibliographies Online, which lists the best book/journal recommendations by subject area.

They did not call themselves "Islamic" activists dumbass. Also, they were killed at point blank by IDF terrorists in International waters, not "died".

Indonesia cancels Lady Gaga concert because "She's a vulgar singer... she is the envoy of the devil's child and she will spread satanic teaching" by mepperin worldnews

During a London concert ten days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Maines said "we don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States (George W. Bush) is from Texas".[1]. The incident led to hate mail, death threats, and the public destruction of their albums in protest.[2]

Did the Prophet order his followers to assassinate his political enemies? by balqisfromkuwaitin islam

[–]thebaloosh -1 points0 points ago

So you can't simply say that this list is full of fabrications. You need to either invalidate the original source or somehow demonstrate that the source is being abused.

Fortunately, our medieval scholars are light years ahead of you and your ilk. They have developed an entire discipline, known as the science of hadith, to evaluate the narrations and reports attributed to early Islam. Go fly a kite.

Hitchens, "every muslim you kill means there is one less to fight you." “Demolish it!” he said, when asked about Iran by Ehsaunin islam

[–]thebaloosh 0 points1 point ago

Whatever way you look at it, it was clear that Hitchens did not care for the Muslim civilians murdered (collateral or not) by acts of state terrorism (which you underminded by calling it "extreme force ").
