We need to hold on a second and review what the confederate people want
Do they want their own country ?

We need to see if they are asking for new country or not

Confederates almost took DC and hanged Lincoln. Gettysburg was fought in Pennsylvania when Confederates got very close to DC.

Muslims (like an idiot) shouldn't involve in it.

 

[MultaniGuy]

And how are we being stupid by giving out opinion on the Confederate statues being torn down?

When Islam spread it was through peace treaties.

You know nothing about the history of Islam.

Lol of course, the usual propaganda about Islam by you people.

You fear what you don't know. But you should learn about Islam first before spreading lies.

America has a proven record of mass murderer. America is modern day Nazi Germany. America and Europe owe the rest of the world reparations for colonialism, genocide, and theft is our resources.

Except Islam spread by fighting scum of the planet, more than what can be said for other expansionist ideologies.

All of you say I know nothing about Islam, but all your replies say you know very little of your own religion. Islam may have spread peacefully, but it was also spread by the sword. A simple Google search will confirm this. The list of conquered people is quite long too. Included in Islam's spread are colonialism, genocide, and theft of resources, mostly of non-Muslim people.

Plus, there's the endless bragging of countless Muslim invaders of India by Pakistanis on this forum. How many Hindu temples they destroyed. And so on.

You can believe whatever you want, you're entitled to your delusions.

You are an idiot.

In Islam it is prohibited to convert anyone by force.

Islam is all about winning the hearts and minds of people.


Had Islam been spread by force, all of India would be a Muslim country by now, but the Mughals never converted anyone by force.

I said Muslims typically only fought scum, not that Muslims never used the sword.

Your American masters didn't exactly do the same.

This is good. Erase every symbol of this racist crusader country built on the blood of blacks and indigenous people.

What they really want is to take down ALL statues of everything because they are haram, this is islam's mission creep in America.

That just speaks of the real Indian people's resilience, you lot in the western parts got defeated and converted into this horrible so called religion.

Nice try Indian rat.

Those who converted to Islam, did it by their own choice, because they could see the superior choice.

 

[Zibago]

Oh if you are not worried why you brought in Taj Mahal to begin with? We will get rid of every last symbol slowly. We will give the world an example of how to get rid of growing menace piece by piece.

Thats what we want you to do

How many are left to begin with?

5-6 million

This is good. Erase every symbol of this racist crusader country built on the blood of blacks and indigenous people. @Zibago @django @Iqbal Ali @LA se Karachi

Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial​

View attachment 421934​

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights group, is calling on state and local governments all over the United States to tear down all monuments and memorials commemorating Confederate leaders and the short-lived Confederate States of America.

CAIR joined several groups asking for the removal of Confederate memorials in the wake of a “Unite the Right” white nationalist rally that turned violent over the weekend. At the Charlottesville, Va. rally, James Alex Fields, a rally attendee, allegedly plowed his grey Dodge Challenger through a large group of counter-demonstrators on a pedestrian mall. One woman, Heather Heyer, died in the incident. About 20 other people suffered injuries.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, urged state and local governments to erase every symbol and every vestige of Confederate history immediately.

“A fitting response to the deadly terror attack on anti-Fascist protesters in Charlottesville would be for officials in states and cities nationwide to immediately announce that every street, every school, every flag, and every public memorial honoring those who took up arms in defense of white supremacy and slavery will be removed or have its name changed to instead honor those who fought for civil rights,” Awad said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

“Removal of these memorials would be a small step forward in turning the page on the darkest period in our nation’s history,” Awad also said.


CAIR has created a template for state governments, municipal governments and school district officials to use for introducing resolutions seeking the removal of Confederate memorials and other symbolism.

On Saturday, CAIR denounced President Donald Trump for his remarks about the white supremacist rally. Trump exhibited a “failure of moral leadership,” the Muslim advocacy group said.

A number of local governments have removed or contemplated removing Confederate monuments in recent years. Demands for removal of the statues has grown considerably louder and more forceful in response to the events which unfolded in Charlottesville on Saturday.

Leaders in Lexington, Ky., Gainesville, Fl. and Baltimore, Md. have announced plans to remove statues since Saturday.

On Monday evening, a group of protestors toppled a monument to Confederate soldiers in Durham, North Carolina. (VIDEO: Protestors Topple Confederate Statue In North Carolina)

In May, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation protecting Confederate memorials from removal or modification as long as they have been in place for longer than 40 years. (RELATED: Alabama Governor Signs Bill Protecting Confederate Memorials)

In 2009, CAIR was listed by the U.S. government as an unindicted co-conspirator in a scheme that provided funding to the terror group Hamas.

Well, same here. But I'm rooting for the side that's crushing Nazi skulls on the streets.

 

[Zibago]

We are just applying the logic given in this thread to our own country. nothing you can do about it.

You do realize an absolute majority of these statues were erected in the last century as a counter to black right movements right?

Well, same here. But I'm rooting for the side that's crushing Nazi skulls on the streets.

I am rooting for both sides

I agree that all Confederate statues, flags and monuments should be torn down. However, it should be done by the public in broad daylight, not removed at the dead of night by some cranes and the monuments shifted to some museum. Let the public express their hostility to racism by tearing down the monuments just as the Iraqi people vented their emotions by tearing down the idols of Saddam. That will be a moment for the cameras, for the cover of Time magazine, a watershed moment in American history, which will have a great psychological effect on the public. In my view, Confederate and Nazi symbols like the ‘swastika’ should be banned as symbols of hate. Displaying them in public should be a criminal offense. If Muslims in America are raising their voice against the Confederate monuments, more power to them. Muslims should be a part of this great historical movement, if they keep aloof from it, history will not acknowledge their services and they will come to regret it.

 

[Hassan_Ishtiaq]

What they really want is to take down ALL statues of everything because they are haram, this is islam's mission creep in America.

Yes, that is true. Statues are haram. They are idols and thus should be smashed before you have people like these Nazis and White supremacists commemorating them.

But that is besides the point. Those statues represent European oppression and colonialism and slavery. They must be torn down. All symbols of the White oppressors must be torn down.

 

[Zulfiqar1919]

Keep in mind that the ‘swastika’ isn’t simply a Nazi symbol of hate, but it has been used by right-wing racist Hindu groups too, whose main target is us Muslims. So as Muslims from the Subcontinent, we should especially be part of the movement against racist symbols both Confederate and Nazi, knowing that the Nazi symbol of racism is derived from Hindu Aryanism. (Those of us Muslims from the Punjab should study the activities of Arya Samaj (lit. 'Aryan Society) in pre-partition Punjab to have a better historical context)
