Ouch!I also have difficulty comparing the future to the past. I could wait until that date arrives, but then it's no longer the future but also the past.
Thanks for pointing that out. I think...
Oh well.

One person's playful is another person's hateful, demeaning, stereotyping excuse to slip in some nudge nudge Muslim bashing.The main purpose of this thread seems to be to highlight terrorism that can be laid at the feet of white right-wing extremists. "Non-Muslim" is a playful euphemism.
I can't believe we have a Non-Muslim terrorism thread.
Do we have a Non-Catholic Priest Pedophile thread?
A Non-German Anti-Semitism Thread?
A Non-American Racist Thread?
What the actual fuck?
Maybe we need to check some biases....
I only just noticed it.This has been around since 2016 and you're getting worked up about it now ?
There is a much older thread called Muslim Terrorism. I think this was a split from it if I recall.I guess we could burn Huckleberry Finn while we're at it.
I think at the time it was to show that not all terrorism was being devised by Mulims, which at the time seemed to be a default setting.
“Islamic Terrorism in the West”, started in November 2008. I think you’re right that this split off from it.There is a much older thread called Muslim Terrorism. I think this was a split from it if I recall.
Not sure how this is a thread for Muslim bashing. I suppose that happens in the Islamic Terrorism thread. "Non-Muslim" implies everything else, which I also suppose is an indirect bash (ie. Muslims have their own defamation thread centred on terrorism). But "everything else" is mostly white extremists, with an occasional "other" thrown in.One person's playful is another person's hateful, demeaning, stereotyping excuse to slip in some nudge nudge Muslim bashing.
I suppose if it was the '70s we could have a thread about Communist- (Russian-) sponsored terrorism.
But then some might not be able to signal their virtuness in public rather then "reporting" the thread to the Moderator group with their concerns.Just a thought, why not just change it to "...non-Islamist"?
Five concurrent life sentences, minimum 25 years before eligibility for parole. That doesn’t mean parole will necessarily ever be granted.Man who killed 4 members of Muslim family in London, Ont. given 5 life sentences in prison
A London judge has handed down her sentence in the case of Nathaniel Veltman, convicted of killing four members of a Muslim family and seriously injuring a young boy in June of 2021.london.ctvnews.ca
A ruling that will likely set some precedence.
In 2007, Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of full parole for 25 years. The remains or DNA of 33 women were found on his pig farm in Port Coquitlam, around 25 kilometres east of downtown Vancouver.
The serial killer becomes eligible to apply for day parole — meaning he would have to return to prison or a halfway home at night — on Feb. 22, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
Yup, and people are freaking out because they think ‘eligible’ means ‘will get it’. He won’t get parole.And in other news
Pickton will be eligible for full parole in 2027.
My, how time flies.
I hope you are right.Yup, and people are freaking out because they think ‘eligible’ means ‘will get it’. He won’t get parole.
