The Most Ignorant Reader Comment I Have Ever Seen
The Columbus Dispatch has a story regarding a 17 year old Muslim girl who converted to Christianity and fled to Florida because she thought her father would kill her. In response, some person named “bird dog” wrote the following.
How many more 9-11 type attacks is it going to take to make our country wake up to the fact that Islam and its adherents are ENEMIES of our way of life. Riqfa’s fears are justified. Me? I would deport ALL followers of Islam AS UNDESIREABLE POTENTIAL TERRORISTS, along with “ALL” illegal aliens of every nationality, left wing political socialists nuts, and a host of others with no Early American heritage. Especially included are those who come here determined to undermine our customs and way of life who virtually refuse to learn and speak english. God warned the Israelites of Moses day not to inter-marry and assimilate with others and look what happened - there was a great dispersal resulting in the loss of their land and political identity. Just look around our country and you will see clear signs that the fabric of our way of life is being rent from every corner. Whether you believe it or not there is a plan by the muslims to take over this country and that is being aided and abetted by many in Washington DC, various liberal groups AND especially the supposedly “non-muslim top dog”, who I firmly believe is a FAKE American and an imposter at the highest level…. As an American whos family (both sides) has been here since 1650-1700, I am mightily OFFENDED by those who dare to dilute and demean the principles of our nation’s constitution and the freedoms that my forefathers and I fought for over these 300 or so years. FOLKS, WHEN ARE WE CONSERVATIVES GOING TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER AND ‘DEMAND’ OUR RIGHTS BY INSISTING THAT THE LAW BE FOOLWED TO THE ‘NTH DEGREE. Immigration and Naturalization is a farce. People’s native culture NEVER changes.
As far as “WE CONSERVATIVES,” my guess is “we” is too strong of a word. I believe the vast majority of Conservatives would be offended by this comment. Hell, I’m sure the overwhelming majority of Americans would be offended.
When I first read this I must admit I sat in stunned silence. I couldn’t believe someone would write something like this. At first I started to counter bird dog’s arguments like I would in any good debate. But then I thought, how do you engage in civilized debate with a lunatic? I just hope bird dog gets back on his medication.
P.S. I think the comment has now been deleted.

Madrigal,
People don’t always express themselves well when angry (or drunk). Obviously, the comment you found is a good example. However, I wouldn’t completely dismiss all of his concerns out of hand. Did he phrase some things poorly? Sure. I have no doubt that if he submitted this to a teacher he’d get a poor grade for punctuation and spelling. Now that I have criticized his style, I have to admit he does have some cause for concern. The young lady who chose to leave Islam may very well have been in danger. Sharia law is unfathomable to those of us who grew up under our system of law and order. Are all Muslim’s terrorists? Probably not. Many are or support others who are. There certainly are enough problems with the things taught by SOME in the “religion of peace” to be concerned.
The author you quoted might be crazy or may have been drunk (or both), but that doesn’t mean he is wrong on every point he made. Every crazy statement has some background. The nutty conspiracies regarding Kennedy’s assassination had background. Nixon was in Dallas a day before the shooting. Coincidental. However, once the historic event happened coincidental events took on new meaning.

“, but that doesn’t mean he is wrong on every point he made.”
oh, really? I’m looking closely at what he said and I can’t find ONE.
Could you pinpoint the ‘one’ that is correct?
Many thanks.

Sure. How about “Riqfa’s fears are justified.” Considering how some Muslims deal with family members (particularly women) who abandon the faith I’d say her fears are justified. Not saying for sure that her father would harm her, but I am saying she is justified to be afraid.

FYI Bill, her name is Rifqa, bird dog spelled that wrong too.
“Riqfa’s fears are justified.”
Except that the parents have been thoroughly investigated.
“Florida Department of Law Enforcement says that no evidence has been found that Fathima Rifqa Bary was threatened with death by her Muslim father for converting to Christianity.”
“Eric Fenner, executive director of Franklin County Children Services, says that the agency has “no reason to believe” that Rifqa wouldn’t be safe with her parents.”
Florida and Ohio agree, no danger.
There has been no evidence that the Bary’s practice Sharia laws. Based on the things Rifqa was able to do and own, I would guess not.

You got schooled, Largebill! Thank you, Madrigal Maniac.
