Well lookie here, it's my turn to be tarred with the bigot brush. [View all]

Didn't you know, if you call a mashup of superstition and fairy tales that drive people to violence what it is, you're a bigot!

I guess they couldn't stand seeing bullshit being called out straight up, so they invoked DU's automatic censorship system to shut me up.

I have an idea. Why don't those cowardly worms say it to my fucking face instead of wailing to the refs.

Say it to my fucking face. Don't hide behind anonymity.

For those curious:

At Sat Apr 13, 2013, 12:31 AM, an alert was sent on the following post:

Islam deserves to be insulted.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2664909

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Astoundingly moronic post. The poster is attempting to be anti-religion but he just comes across as scared and ignorant. Considering that fully 80% of the world's peoples (INCLUDING LIBERALS) practice a religion of some sort, "Fuck Islam. For that matter, Fuck Christianity, Fuck Judaism, fuck every other set of fairy tales involving asshole skydaddies that are used by narcissistic sociopaths to scare and control people." are the hateful words of a bigot and should not be tolerated here.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Apr 13, 2013, 12:38 AM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: This kind of language makes DU suck. I agree with the alerter: time to hide this mess.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: As much as I sympathize with the poster, they really need to calm down and express themselves in a less inflamatory manner. Hating haters is still hating and we atheists have to be better then that.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
