Resolved: The term "terrorist" is discriminatory towards muslim United States citizen's.

My opponent is misunderstanding my arguments and by his response I think that that is quite clear. My position is simply that muslims are commonly perceived as common terrorists. I am saying that society in general perceives muslims as terrorists and terrorists as muslim. MY OPPONENT CONCEDES TO THIS BY SAYING, "While it is true that Muslim terrorist are the most active terrorist at work in the world today." THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE AND IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE DISCRIMINATION I AM SPEAKING OF. A terrorist is someone who commits a crime of any sort. Thus, even a bank robber could be classified as true. Thus by saying that muslims make up the majority of the terrorist population, as my opponent does, is absolutely discriminatory, racist, and unjust. The following article explains how muslims are unjustly classified as terrorists: Imagine a member of the KKK going on the Bill O'Reilly show and declaring all African-Americans are shiftless crackheads. Imagine the outrage and calls for Fox News to be investigated for promoting racism and hatred. Now imagine an Israeli diplomat going on Bill O'Reilly's show and declaring all Muslims are terrorists. In fact, this happened, and nobody is calling the diplomat, Dan Gillerman, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, a racist or are there demands Fox News be investigated for promoting racism and hatred. In Bushzarro world, it is fine and dandy to characterize all Muslims as terrorists. "While it is politically incorrect to say that all Muslims are terrorists, unfortunately, it's true that all terrorists are Muslim," Gillerman said on O'Reilly's show yesterday, July 16. I picked up this quote from a blog. It was not mentioned in the corporate media. A Google News search returned no results. Either the people who post at the Truth Will Set You Free blog made the quote up or Israelis spewing racist hatred is so common and acceptable nobody bothered to mention it. Of course, when Iran's Ahmadinejad says anything about Israel, it is front page news. In fact, so eager is the corporate media to demonize Ahmadinejad, it reprints distortions of his comments (Ahmadinejad never said Israel should be "wiped off the map," as widely reported), which are then used to further rationalize "all Muslims are terrorists" comments. As FAIR noted late last month, the starting point of all discussion in the corporate media about events in the Middle East begins with the assumption Arabs and Muslims are terrorists. This article clearly backs up my argument. The rest of it can be found at http://card.wordpress.com... Now I will move to address the arguments made by my opponent. " A Muslim is just simply a follower of Islam, and while there are some Muslim terrorists, not all terrorists are Muslim." My opponent agrees with me. This is exactly what I am advocating. Not all muslims are terrorists. I am trying to argue the common perception that they are. My opponent concedes to my advocacy and thus I have won this round. " I do not know when the word terrorist became linked, immediately and without qualification, with the word Muslim." The article I provided explains the common perception our society has that these two words are linked. My opponents agrees with me once again. These words should not be linked. "While it is true that Muslim terrorist are the most active terrorist at work in the world today, to say that the word terrorist is discriminatory towards Muslims, which would make the word on par with the N-word, because of recent events is a ridiculous statement." My opponent is being very discriminatory. "Muslims are the most active terrosrits." The previous statement is just blatantly false and is what I am trying to show is wrong. My actually using the term "terrorist" to discriminate, my opponent is showing that I have clearly won this round. I would also like to say that the comparison to the "N-Word" is absolutely irrelevant and doesn't really make sense. Throughout this round I have won on many levels. My opponent has also agreed with my position on many levels and has shown that the term "terrorist" is discriminatory towards muslims. Thus the decision for this round is clear. PRO.
