You're joking right?  Dude called Dearborn "Dearbornistan."  For crying out loud, you might as well cite Trumps comments as proof, it would have the same credibility.

Trump is (again) flat out lying because he knows people are dumb and will buy into it, or he's an idiot.

I only cited the blog because the Washington Post fact checked Trump's story with it.

I'm waiting for ANY Muslim to denounce the acts of terror that are being carried out worldwide, almost exclusively by Muslims.

Their silence speaks very loudly.

I denounce terror attacks that are carried out by MUSLIMS..

I am a Muslim.

p.s. I'm not waiting for any sympathy, just to be treated like a human being.

And you have a right to treated with resepct as do all people regardless of their religion. If they are law abiding respectful citizens it is only right that we all do the same.

 I dont belive anyone should feel they need to say or prove they denounce the actions of a minority of extremists, for the majority of us sane people its a given that they do, but much respect to you for the above post. You shouldnt have to defend yourself or your religion here.

That is a mind-numbingly ignorant post. Maybe you need to expand your fact gathering forays beyond Fox News and Gunther's Blog.

What angers me about this is that these situations, while unpleasant, are insignificant when compared to the pain and suffering perpetrated by Muslim jihadists (not only ISIS).

WTF does that have to do with anything?

You need to get out more and do some actual research before you make claims.

One, you obviously don't care to look for what you're asking.  You just need rationalizations for your prejudice.  But, even so, what a ridiculous thing to "require" of a group of people.

Do you constantly take to public spaces to announce that as a man you feel betrayed and disgusted by the rampant misogyny and violence against women in our society?  Can't tell from your avatar if you're white, but if you are, do you constantly broadcast how the oppression and murder of minorities by white people makes you embarrassed to be a white man?  If you're American, do you constantly broadcast on international message boards about how you feel betrayed because your countrymen are constantly killing foreign civilians from the sky, and beg others to not judge all Americans because we're not all like that?

I didn't think so.

I take your first statement here as fact, and applaud you for such.

As for the p.s. -

There are a multitude of Muslim women, and non Muslim workers (in both voluntary and involuntary servitude) who would ask the same from Islam.

True that.   But that's not limited to Muslim.  It's a human disease practiced by all.

so, the lady heard them speaking in a language other than English, and she even saw a text that said "dynamite"..

long story short, plane returned, everyone is off boarded, 4 people detained and no dynamite text found and they are released.  No idea if they are Arab or not, they could be Spanish for all I know.. What I do know is that people can just say what ever they want, and basically delay hundreds of people because they hear or see things that are pure fantasy.

Unfortunately, given the cowardly method the terrorists use to attack this is likely to be the norm going forward.  NY is expanding the see something, say something campaign and many politicians and LEO are telling people with concealed carries that if something like Paris happens here, shoot to kill.

Not just foreign terrorists, but add domestic terrorists to that. All these mass shootings that are happening every week should fall into the same category. They are planned attacks.

I understand the heightened sense of fear, but what I don't understand is the inability of people to act like rational adults.  This is exactly what the terrorists want, and we are giving them all they want on a gold plate.. 

I believe it is rational these days to be concerned with whom you are sharing an Airplane ride with.  It is unfortunate that this situation exists but as long as the Terrorists are killing what I perceive as innocent citizens I suspect this added attention will continue and it should.  

I would add that the situation might be mitigated some if any Muslim religious leaders or rulers of Muslim dominated countries would publicly speak out against the slaughter of innocents by Islamic radicals.  But as long as leaders of some countries are publicly stating "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" and while other leaders in the area remains silent, I think caution is rational.  

For the record here I mean no disrespect to any one or to their religion and I believe most Muslims are not going to harm anyone.  But as we have learned a few times now in our modern history, it doesn't take very large numbers to do a lot of harm.

There I fixed it for you. Notice that there is no mention of a specific religion or race, and now any person of any country could say the above and be true.

That doesn't make it any less unacceptable though.   And there is no need to qualify the type of attack, because by exclusion it infers that those who don't bother you (the previously mentioned non terrorists, now including the dude in Colorado) are somehow less cowardly.

And Colorado man further highlights how freaking absurd this entire conversation has become.  We're still talking about those "scary" Muslims but once again they have not hurt us.  A white dude of unknown religion has added to the toll.

People like the woman in the op are freaking cowardly bigots - plain and simple.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
