i will leave you with this extract, in praise of our Muslim brothers!

Globally, Muslims have the highest fertility rate, an average of 2.9 children per woman—well above replacement level (2.1) and also a younger age profile (median age of 24) compared to other religious groups.[4] Hindu fertility (2.4) is similar to the global average (2.5).[5] Worldwide, Jewish fertility (2.3 children[6] per woman) also is above replacement level.[7] Most of the religious groups have fertility levels too low to sustain their populations and would require converts to grow or maintain their size: indigenous and tribal religions (1.8 children per woman), other religions (1.7), the unaffiliated (1.7) and Buddhists (1.6).[8]

"This significant projected growth is largely due to the young age and high fertility rate of Muslims".[9][10]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mod: Stay out.

Today, online at any rate, Muslims are the most easily and frequently dehumanised group.

I think there'd be grounds to say that people of certain political persuasions are more easily dehumanized, but I'll ignore that and look only at religion.

The Christian Evangelicals would most likely disagree with you there. I wouldn't be surprised if I stumble over a Jesus parody in the next 10 minutes. Doesn't really matter to you or I, but I'm sure to those 'of faith' the constant jabs online and in media are felt to some extent.



How easy was that? It's grand, nobody's going to bat an eye. I think that's the only religion that one can do that with.

The non-Abrahamic religions are going to be somewhat removed from online 'dehumanization' for multi-faceted reasons which are predominantly pretty self-evident.

Now, you might say that Christians are less likely to be persecuted than Muslims. That would really depend on where you are talking about. Clearly in the West, you would be correct, whilst clearly it is the case that countries where Christians are a minority (like Pakistan or Egypt) the reverse is true. Online dehumanization being a root cause of persecution in either case is tenuous.

Is is nearly 20 years since 9/11 and this is the first major terrorist attack targeting Muslim people in a Western country. The internet has been around for all that time, and there's no grounds to suggest that the landscape has changed in any way. If anything, there is likely to be less dehumanization than in the immediate wake of 9/11, the war on the Taliban, the Iraq war, the hunt for bin laden, and the long series of terrorist attacks on Western countries. I think hand-wringing in terms of the nefarious influence of the internet can probably take a back seat.

Edit: most of those anti-Irish images that you linked to seem to originate from the US in the late 19th century. Just saying that it doesn't do much to underpin your argument.

I thought there would have been a massive attack in Europe this weekend in retaliation over this

Have states got a handle on this now?

A twitter handle for ISIS apparently declared that 'Revenge is coming' (since deleted), but I think that organization is too busy holding onto its last village in Syria to organize any sophisticated attack these days.

I often hear 4chan and 8chan mentioned on board's.
I thought at first it was an oriental forum or something.

What's the Chan's story ?

The Islamists are already starting to draw up their lists of people who need to be silenced. Maajid Hawas, Sam Harris, Douglas Murray. Anyone who has criticised Islam must now be silenced.

Would you stop with the bullshit?

On 8, uncensored image board. If it's not illegal and not off board-topic, you can post it. I use them all the time for uncensored conversations (mostly just gaming) but the heavy price is some of the sickest stuff imaginable, which one can thankfully block.

Oh Jesus that sounds horrible couldn’t you just stick to resetera or neogaf
I wouldn’t wanna risk seeing horrible stuff like that does it come up when you enter that 8chan site
