Shit is Fucked Up

[Aliantha]

This week in Australia, some idiot took a Muslim woman's headscarf off and then apparently ridiculed her for the rest of the bus trip. He was later arrested then released on bail. So a Muslim cleric then says we should be concerned that the Muslim community might take things into their own hands. I'm sorry, but what more can he want? I'm a tolerant person, but I don't believe those sort of overt threats will do anything to help anyone.

I don't see that as an overt threat. I also see it as a warning that wacko Muslims may become emotional (like a child) and then become violent.

His words have multiple meanings depending on personal biases or perspective. But we do know why people punch out others in a Trump rally, why bombers must do killing because their god is a false idol so pathetic as to be incapable of killing, why Nazi (and others) knew torture and genocide is good, and why so many even knew Saddam was a threat to America. In every case, intelligent thinking (that defines an adult) was replaced by emotions (that define childish rationalizations).

Obviously an idiot who was later arrested was an adult acting like a child. But what was the cleric saying? Did he justify violence like a child or warn that even many Muslims adults are only children?
