(9 of 13) Bush 43 is the worst president of the last 50 years debate: Q&A Part 4

The goal of IQ2 US is to raise the level of public discourse on our most challenging issues. To provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis. To transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological. To encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. To engage the live audience as active participants who will ask questions and decide which speakers have carried the day by voting on the motions both before and after the debate.

Wesern nations commit, but totally turn the blindspot when it comes to Islam and their legacy of death and destruction. You want speak of fairness, you want fairness? Go and complain about the human rights abuses in Iran, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. Go and moan about the persecution of minorities in Indonesia and Malaysia. Go and harangue the Taliban and ask why they didn't let women go to school. Go and bitch about how in Islam, the Qu'ran is beyond criticism.

"Your views are leading you to the same

old tired and predictable fear and hate."

Dude what the FUCK are you even talking about? Your the only one stirring up the fascist fear-mongering here with your typical sadomasoshism, double-standards and blind-sighted myopia. You keep referring to how Christian history isn't great, but if it isn't, then I'm not sure what Islamic history is. The point I'm trying to make is the hypocrisy you blatantly commit when you point first to the "atrocities"

You're actually citing the crusades? Would you prefer that Europe still be conquered by the Moorish (Muslim) invaders? That statement ALONE makes you lose ANY credibility.

Is that woman at 0:30 single?

There's nothing wrong with living in Canada, but you do mention the idea of treating others fairly, which you fail to do by not mentioning the plight that non-Muslims suffer every day of the living calender, persecuted for no other reason than having committed crime of being a non-Muslim. Then you have the temerity to tell me Christian killing Muslim give Mullahs their ammunition, but anybody with half a brain will tell you that Muslims massacring Jews at Banu Qurayza @ 627 have the same effect.

Yeah ur right Indonesia and Turkey aren't gross violators of human rights...on some planet in another galaxy far far away. Fact check: Indonesian gunmen murders Christians on June 11, 2008 while they are praying at a church. Fact check: Turkey elects an Islamic head of state on August 28, 2007 so so much for separation of church and state. Now if the massacre of non-Muslims and persecution of women and gays don't scare you, then I can't help the fact that you are brain-dead.

"fascist fear-mongering"? If someone saying that Western (and some other) nations need to stop going into say, Iraq, and bombing that crap out of the place elicits some kind of fear in you, then I can't help you. As for double standards, Iran's Mullah's are dicks, but look a little bit at how they got there. Syria, I agree. They're bad for human rights, but if you're presenting Turkey and Indonesia as gross violators of human rights, then I doubt you know what you're talking about.
