Comments on: LJW posts favorable piece on Muslims…15+ anti-Muslim comments removed by staff http://www.kansasra.org/blog/archives/47 Kansas Conservative Politics and Beyond Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:33:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nuclearnow http://www.kansasra.org/blog/archives/47/comment-page-1#comment-304 Nuclearnow Tue, 23 Oct 2007 02:58:52 +0000 http://www.kansasra.org/blog/archives/47#comment-304 This story is old and no one will look at this comment, but it seems that the worst insult, and very ironic, since the group being discussed/defended murdered 3000 people and continues to murder many of their own religious faith all across the world, is being aimed at Christians. "The basis of the editing was to preclude the Christian "persecution" of Muslims. This suggestion in itself is the worst insult and aimed at a nation that has spent billions to help Muslims, before and after 911." I do not know the comments removed, but the question is, were they true? The double standard by which Christians can be attacked while other religious groups are given deference should be no secret in this nation, denied only by those who seek control over a system that could not have been built without the people who came to America because of those principles.

No, i don't work for the LJ-W company, and, yes, i'm assuming why the posts were removed...I did see a number of them before they were taken down, so i have a decent idea. But, no, i do not know for certain. It's wrong to assume any group is represented by a minority within that group- most christians and muslims are good, hardworking people that would never think to harm another person. Some Christians and Muslims are not- radical Muslims and radical evangelical Christians are no representative of their faiths. This country has a history of taking things to an extremely inappropriate place, and there are absolutely people who honestly think all Muslims are dangerous. That is, of course, nonsense. Last thing: posts hinting that a group of people are going to try and kill other people is much much more offensive than posts calling another group "hypocrites, bigots, fundies, etc." That isn't polite, for certain, but it isn't same thing. it’s exciting to have the moderator of a board respond to you.

If name calling is cause for comment removal, then the Journal-World had better call in some extra staff, 'cause they're gonna need them to get everything off their pages. In today's PC world, ideas like yours run rampant...it's okay to call a Christian a bigot because, in one's opinion (and therefore one's reality), it's true. But call a Muslim a terrorist and that is taboo because of 9/11. In fact the comments left on this very article attempt to put forth the idea that the comments were removed to prevent a Christian backlash against Muslims. This, of course, is non-sense. What I'm very curious about, however, is how you know why the comments were pulled? Are you a LJW employee yourself? That's about the only way I can figure how you would know why these particular comments were pulled. Otherwise I believe it to be simply conjecture on your part as I can't really believe that you were able to review all 16+ comment removals without being in someway affiliated with the newspaper itself. In other words, you have a real credibility problem my friend.

You should be ashamed your post wasn't congratulatory. calling Kansas muslim terrorists is horrible- and the LJW did the right thing removing the posts. and this blog should be on the front lines telling the world how awful it is to attack Muslims because of their faith (just as it is awful to attack Christians because of theirs…significant different in this situation, though, no one on the LJW is calling Christians terrorists).
