Well there are bad eggs from every background. Just because two guys that you "know of" are preaching hate doesn't mean the Pakistani guy at the Afghan Buffet is planning to blow up Regina.
So even though you are willing to paint my friend Afros a terrorist because of his turban, I'm not willing to paint all white people racists because of your narrow-mindedness and intolerance of people with other cultures.
Furthermore, if you did a search you’d probably find more than a handful of references to nuking Pakistan, Iran and a number of foreign countries because of the actions of a few. So preaching hate and violence is not exclusively a Islamic or Arab or white virtue. The bad eggs in every society do it.
Be a good egg. Life is too short to hate everyone who is different that you.
Umm, I know where I'm having lunch today. Goat is not bad when cooked with the right spices.

But here's the problem Donny. For every imam(in this case) that is preaching hate and violence in his mosque, there are numerous people that are listening and not doing anything to stop it. Doing nothing is the same as condoning it.
When someone here says, "Pakistan should be nuked", it's an opinion that they have very little chance of carrying out. I don't know of many here that have access to nukes.
But when a church leader preaches hate and violence, he has a ready audience.
And any member of that audience that does nothing to try and prevent it, is just as guilty as the person spewing the venom.
If I were to say that all muslims are such and such and should be deported, or put in internment camps like the US did with the Japanese Americans in WW2, that would certainly be a racist statement and there may well be many that agree with the statement. But the chances of any of us carrying it out are ZERO.
BUT, if I were to start preaching on here about how we should get our weapons ready and start doing harm to the muslim population, then there's the chance someone will agree strongly with me and carry out the idea.
At that point, anyone in here that didn't report those posts to the police would also be guilty by not doing something to try and prevent it.
Saying you hate someone and hope they die of cancer isn't the same as hating someone and inciting others to commit violent acts upon them.
