New York on...(Islam, Muslims, etc.)

So I just recently got into this channel, and I have to say I have enjoyed it. It's refreshing both to see an actual Muslim rather than some boogieman stereotype the media or society focuses on while ignoring the vast majority who don't fit their agenda, as well as refreshing to see so many people who aren't buying into that narrative.

While the channel above tends to be very uplifting, I think this channel definitely has some more depressing videos in it. That said, for the most part people stick up for them... but way too many people just walk by and say nothing when they are harassed.

All in all, two good channels if you are interested in everyday, normal Muslims that you would actually meet in the real world, and not the boogieman that is fed to us over and over and over.

A racial profiling experiment?

Since when did muslims become a race?

There are many sahih ahadith that say $Profit Mo was white, the Bosnian muslims white.

It's just idiocy from softcock leftists to claim muslims are a race.

I mean, that video had nothing to do with them being Muslim, but rather wearing cultural (aka racial) attire... but meh, details amirite? The details just get in the way of the agenda.

It's just idiocy from softcock leftists to claim muslims are a race.

Maybe if you weren't so busy seeing conspiracies everywhere, you would notice just how stupid that sounds given that the video had nothing to do with them being Muslim.

And second off, weren't the Jews the ones who lead the leftist media? Like... for the last 20, 30, 40 years it has been the Jews and their liberal/leftist agenda... now all of the sudden, it's the Muslims! Did all the Jews convert to Islam? Are the Jews secretly working with the Muslims?

Same shit, different generation. Lets blame all our problems on the communists (er, leftists) and Jews (er, Muslims). Thankfully people don't buy that BS in mass like they use to. Still dangerous rhetoric, but at least people are generally a bit brighter nowadays.

But nice way to turn videos of Muslims being good people into, "YOU SEE! THE MUSLIMS ARE OUT TO GET US! IT'S ALL A BIG CONSPIRACY!". It was interesting to see just how warped you could get.

Canada had a TV show a few years ago, called Little Mosque On The Prairie ;-)  But Canada is more civilized than the US.

In America, outside of Detroit ... most Muslims aren't Arabs, they are former members of Nation of Islam, that well known African-American cult, currently led by Rev Farrakhan, who probably killed that actual Muslim, Malcolm X, who discovered the real thing on Hajj.  After their founder died, most Nation of Islam followers followed the lead of Malcolm X.  For Americans, Muslim profiling, is racial profiling ... and in France, England, Germany etc.  There are a few Nordic Muslims, but damn few and only recently.  Just like that NAACP official in Seattle, who was a Caucasian African-American ;-)  And no, no White racist counts any Arab as being White ... or any Jew either.

If I were asked, I dunno about affirming broad generalizations like muslims are good people or bad people.  Or that I respect muslims or disrespect muslims.  All the word muslim tells me is that one is an adherent of Islam, nothing else.  It's too little information to judge.

Instead, I take it on a case by case basis.

And no, I'm not scared or threatened in the presence of Muslims.

I tried to watch it, but it was... meh. Premise was solid, just didn't particularly care for it. But im not into sitcoms anyways for the most part, so there is that...
