No nice way to say it, and no accurate way to say it, because nothing that was said was 'racist.' (whatever that word even means anymore) Notice how my comment laid out a logical sequence of statements that amounted to coherent reasoning. While yours is nothing more than a hostile attack, attempting to a apply a witchhunt type label. What are you trying to contribute to this conversation? Edit: I initially took your comment for sarcasm. I guess it's probably not, but I find it really strange. There isn't even an implied or explicit mention of race in the comment you attacked.

Should Muslims, the followers of Islam, be treated differently, and if so, why and how?

  In working to prevent Islamic terrorism obviously more attention should be given to muslims than non-muslims. Are there racial restriction on who is allowed to join Islam? Can you explain to me why you took such umbrage to me stating the obvious, which is, that chart is flawed because the calculus around terrorism is different in important ways to the calculus around heart disease and car accidents?

    At the very least that's illegal and unconstitutional: https://www.aclu.org/cases/raza-v-city-new-york-legal-challenge-nypd-muslim-surveillance-program https://www.aclu.org/cases/raza-v-city-new-york-legal-challe... Still believe you're right, and if so, why?

      It'd be nice if you answered some of my questions as I've done for you. Also, I'll point out that your attitude is unbecoming, and you seem to be interpreting wrongly or to narrowly or in the wrong context the things I've said. I never said the nypd should monitor all muslims indiscriminately.

        From the document I provided, NYPD agreed to, "Prohibiting investigations in which race, religion, or ethnicity is a substantial or motivating factor." - monitoring anyone because they're Muslim is illegal and unconstitutional. What questions have I not answered?
