A "registered Muslim?" Where, pray tell, are Muslims supposed to register, anyway?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

Well, except the unfortunate men who had to register with our Nazi overlords after 9/11. A registered Muslim? I am Muslim, and I'm not registered anywhere, except that I have a driver's license and am a registered voter!

Some people are just insane.

[thepurpose]

1. They apparently allow registration at very young ages too.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

I'll have to ask all of our friends with young children (and we have many)

"Say, are Z*** and F*** and H**** and M**** and A**** registered Muslims? If not, why not?"

[eshfemme]

2. You know what the perfect comeback is for that? Are YOU a registered Christian?

If there's a register for Muslims, then there's one for Christians. And chances are, the person stupid enough to say something like that is a fundie.

3. she's a registered fucking idiot.

4. LOL! GREAT comeback!

:rofl:

[Willo]

19. ROFL!!!

:thumbsup:

[cyr330]

5. I can tell you. . . .

At the same place they register terrorists, homosexuals, uppity women and persons of color. . .

6. If you refer to the school in Indonesia...

I believe Obama's father indicated "muslim" on the child's school registration, but I don't have any way of knowing, as if it even mattered.

This is one of those terrible things out on the internet, not much fun to read here, to be honest.

:hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

8. I know, but it's just so stupid, and I had to speak out

[Canuckistanian]

7. What? You didn't fill out the form?

No virgins in Heaven for YOU!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Another myth!

:hi:

[Canuckistanian]

13. I know.

10. To all non-simpletons, this is NO BIG DEAL.

When he registered for elementary school in Indonesia,
he had to designate a religion on his entry form. This
was back in the '60s, remember, when Indonesia was in
turmoil and, since his stepfather -- and a majority
of Indonesians -- were Muslim, it was probably the
SAFEST THING to put that down as his religion, even
if his family weren't PRACTICING Muslims.

Of course, all this "nuance" is lost on stupid redneck
Americans who've always had the FREEDOM to check whatever
box they wanted and shoot their mouths off with impunity.
Try living overseas in a POLICE STATE and maybe you
won't be so critical about which box was checked ...

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. A couple of additional points...

He didn't fill it out himself, of course.

The school has addressed the matter and said their practice was to put in the father's religion.

(There are probably forms out there somewhere listing my atheist ass as "Catholic.")

[LSparkle]

17. Absolutely ... plus he's talked about the political climate in Indonesia

and how he grew to appreciate our country after
returning to Hawaii. I thought he said that he
picked up on the fact that people in Indonesia
weren't free to speak their minds from comments
made by his primary school friends. Better for
his family to just "go along" than to rock the
boat just by checking the wrong box or putting
the wrong word on the form ...

11. For that matter where do Christian Register LOL

:rofl:

Can I only Register for one religion
I would like it to be like Highschool clubs where you can sign up for more than one
I figure if I pick the right religions, I can have a month long Holiday per religion
woo hoo!!!

[27inCali]

12. this accusations are based on the disgusting assumption

that there is something wrong with being a Muslim.

Only a bigot could be persuaded by such an argument.

We don't want their dirty bigot votes. That's the Repug business: scaring up bigot votes.

Fuck em.

[Marrah_G]

14. She's an idiot being given airtime by drama starved media hacks

[endthewar]

16. What they're referring to is:

Apparently when Obama first went to school in Indonesia, his stepfather listed "Islam" on some kind of school registration form since it was his stepfather's religion.

18. Same place the Communists get their "cards"
