- This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.whatthefunk
- Is there something so bad about reaching out to the other side? Islam is almost 2 billion people not just SA and Iran.yuekit
- Depends whose side you're supporting. While US soldiers, innocent women and children are getting killed on the front...********
- 'solidarity with the muslim community' lol********
- ...you'd rather let them in to kill, fuck, run over, blow up people from the back. While cuddling your feelings and preventing protection for Americans.********

- t_c: Do you think your MIT professor Muslim buddy is different from other Muslim Americans or foreign Muslims?whatthefunk

- t_c: you comment "'solidarity with the muslim community' lol" why is this funny, aren't you part of the muslim community?whatthefunk
- I answered lots of your questions truthfully. I asked, who are you trying to protect with clarifying PC statements?********
- omg: I'm trying to get at the root of why you proliferate an anti muslim rhetoric when you know it to be false. It's not PC, it's disinformationwhatthefunk
- omg: I'm trying to protect my fellow americans who unpatriotically spread this shit w/o thinking critically about what he/she is saying...whatthefunk

- who spews hate for middle america and in the next breath cry's about the hurt feelings of repressive religions********
- where's your 'not all' horse shit rationale when it comes to republicans huh? typical********
- *cries********
- t_c: another 500 point catchphrase!! Don't imprison your soccer coach tc, he didn't do anything wrong.whatthefunk
- Nice jump to an entirely different category of social issues. It seems the war on terrorism is lost with you. Your pc wouldn't help this situation one bi.********

- defending muslim americans? is that what you think you are doing or are you just virtue signaling to everyone for yet more internet high fives********
- Not sure how your gay banner is going to stop the likenesses of Timothy McVeigh. You should better pursue police brutality then.********
- * oh wait * he's white. he don't matter********
- I'm not fearing, just all your focus and energy seems to only win popular votes, rather than protect the interests of everyone.********
- lol... merry christmas, Star Wars is starting. i know t_c can finish up. peace in the middle east********
- t_c: your neck beard is showing hard.
omg: are you jumping to an entirely different category?whatthefunk - t_c: Dont' forget https://media.giphy.…whatthefunk
- Not only should the snarling Muslim apologize for his remarks to Trump. Khan had “disgraced” his son by “us[ing] him as a political pawn.”********
