boyfriday Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 But do you mean they are feeble minded yet can still be warm and engaging even if they are terrorists? You arent really making much sense mate. It's quite simple. Being feeble minded doesn't make you a terrorist, but being a terrorist does. My associates live in Darnall They meet plenty. Only a minority of Muslims in Sheffield live in Darnall, they cover all socio-economic groups as you know, I think for balance your associates should acquaint themselves with others who live beyond the sunny enclave of Darnall, they might get a surprise.

I think you will struggle to justify extrapolating the experiences of a few people in one postcode to the massive, nuanced complexity of the followers of a global religion. Are you aware that doing so is the essence of prejudice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but its a pretty good yard stick all the same. ---------- Post added 10-04-2013 at 14:19 ---------- It's quite simple.

mikem8634 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe, but its a pretty good yard stick all the same. Actually, by definition it is a terrible yardstick that doesn't stand up to even cursory logical scrutiny. It is prejudice in its purest form.

mikem8634 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ill pass that on to my associates. Good, perhaps they will learn the error of their ways. Unless, of course, they already know that they are wrong and cannot support their point of view, but just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 So you are saying terrorists CAN be warm and engaging? No I wasn't saying that at all, but on reflection I guess that's a true assertion. Many sociopaths can be 'warm and engaging' and have used those qualities to rise to political power and state sponsored terrorism-Hitler, Amin, Mugabe, Gaddafi, Mladic.

mikem8634 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ill be sure to ask then Make sure you let me know. By the way, do you still think it is a pretty good yardstick? If so, what is the logical framework behind it being so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
