Bad link?
Or else I really don't get the joke
Still a pretty good story
What better way to get caught dealing drugs then to interrupt a community crime meeting by having a loud argument with your dealer?
Perhaps if they were only a singing Islamaphobic misogynist and not a drug dealer they'd be out of jail.
Arrgh, I need to build up those ol' finger muscles
Since I clearly didn't hit a key hard enough when doing control-C with the link. Fixed.
Opponent
His opponent is a muslim activist and is running a religious-based campaign with the help of a muslim political non-profit.
Does this mean her tenure on the planning board would include an expansion of buildings suitable to throw sexual deviants off of?
You don't know very much, do you?
Not that that's stopping you from expressing an opinion. If you want to continue your Islamophobic hatred, though, please find some other site on which to do it.
Wrong phobia

Hey dummy, do you know that
Hey dummy, do you know that the vast majority of Muslims have nothing to do with ISIS? There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world (that's about a quarter of the people on Earth). Let's say that there are half a million members of ISIS (the real number is nowhere near that high, but let's just go with that for shits and gigs). That would still mean that ISIS only comprises 0.03% of the Muslim world. Please educate yourself and stop spewing this bigoted garbage.
Your point is less made due
Your point is less made due to the fact you couldn't contain your rage and name calling. Don't let someone's opinion you disagree with ruin your weekend...
ISIS is based on the Wahabbi school
ISIS is based on the Wahabbi school of thought, a particularly conservative branch of Islam. It was supported for years by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
15 of the 19 9-11 hijackers were Saudi. Osama Bin Laden was a trained civil engineer, whose family was worth big money (think hundreds of millions) and he was ostracized from them because of his beliefs.
It's a bit ironic that the House of Saud welcomes President Trump in such a spectacular way. The have a significant fear of the truly radical branches of Islam, they want to hang on to their power.
Maybe they should have thought of that years ago, when they were doing midwife duty to the radical sects.
In Walpole, you say?
I find it hard to believe public rhetoric like this would come from a town that only recently stopped flying the confederate battle flag at sporting events. True "Rebel" sprit in action.
that flag is/was a different issue
That flag was dumb, but it was one person and I think most of the town tried covering it up and asking him to stop. Please don't conflate the actions of one person (or 2 people if you include Mr Planning board) with the entire town.
It could be one or two people
But from my vantage point in Roslindale, Walpole is the place where my neighbors moved to when those of a darker complexion started moving in to the neighborhood.
I knew someone who was born in Haiti. When she went off to college, she told me that one of her roommates "had family that was from Roslindale." I asked if she lived in Walpole (or maybe she said this too.) I then warned her that there could be a racial incident. There was, of course.
haitian friend lol
she "had family that was from Roslindale" and you warned her about a possible racial incident because what? you must be from the stupid side of Roslindale?
Let me expand
At one time, outside of the projects Roslindale was lilly white. I mean, no blacks and fewer Hispanics than that. Then, a Hispanic family moved into a house, then a Haitian family moved in a few blocks over, all in the early 90s. The reaction? Honestly, a lot of people didn't care because the new neighbors were good people, but others felt that the "change" was starting. Those people headed to Walpole, Medfield, and that general area, bringing their racist attitudes with them. Having a hint that the new roommate's family might have been a part of that migration, I warned my friend. Turns out I was right.
And what part of Roslindale are you from?
Separate
There was that ONE flag recently that was taken down on private land, yes. But there were years and years of waving the stars 'n' bars in the stands while the Rebels (mascot was a gun toting Reb) played under Coach "General" Lee...
Three people,
if you remember the Mexican restaurant incident. And, personally, that is three people too many.
You are absolutely right, it
You are absolutely right, it is wrong to judge an entire population based on the actions of a tiny percentage. Such generalizations might make people act in crazy, hateful or dangerous ways towards the majority of kind and innocent people of
IslamWalpole.Something in the water?
And lest we forget:

"Hey man, you're saying some
"Hey man, you're saying some pretty messed up stuff on twitter."
"Oh you don't understand. These are lyrics from songs that I've written."
?????
no kidding
I had the same thought. If the words were taken "out of context" and would read better if the entire song lyrics were there, then why would you only post the couple of lines that you know will piss people off? Why not post the whole song?
