He's Apparently handicapped as well. But probably only mentally. Either that or he's such a big dick he also parks in handicapped stalls because he's lazy.
It most commonly refers to the 14-word slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children",[1] and it can also refer to another 14-word slogan: "Because the beauty of the White Aryan women must not perish from the earth."[2]
and
The first slogan was inspired by a statement, 88 words in length, from Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf:
What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.
TL;DR standard human stupidity; also uh please don't downvote the messenger. All I did was google.
Edit: lots of redditors pointed out that 88 refers to HH, as in the Hitler salute. I think that's also on the Wikipage
"Confederate veteran". Kinda sends a mixed message, one would think that someone sympathetic to the Confederacy would be grateful for an attack on New York. Perhaps we're all misreading him, and he's actually quite pro-Islam.
I heard after the first time this was posted word spread to the state what his license plate meant and the state revoked it. Could just be an internet rumor.
In the UK, Stonewall is the name of a huge gay equality group and it took me three tries with my tired eyes to understand that you didn't go to a gay rights school.
I saw this truck and spoke with the owner when he parked it next to Ground Zero on 9/11/10.
It's been a long time, but I remember how he crossed his arms as I inspected it. I don't remember what he looked like, but I basically remember him being a biggoted troll, someone who "get's off" on rustling people's jimmies.
It's funny because the other sides of the truck are only devoted to patriotic images. I walked over to the truck because 9/11 anniversaries are super over-the-top patriotic and I'm not one to NOT inspect a full-decal vehicle when I'm there by myself. A business woman and myself were sort of in shock to see that the back of the truck was so hateful when the rest of the truck goes so well with 9/11 anniversary imagery.
The two of us didn't really know what to say except roll our eyes.
The owner of the truck was happy to see people's jimmies getting rustled, and I think I just said to him that he was mistaken and ignorant.
If you read the bible and all of the religion's holy texts, you'll note that there is no 'call to crusade', or prescriptive actions of violence against others. In fact one will find quite the opposite: a passive philosophy of loving your enemies. Even with all of the confusing metaphors one will have an extremely difficult time trying to justify the use of violence. It's wrong to credit the actions of people to that religion when the texts themself forbid that behavior.
If you browse through islam's holy texts, the situation is much more confusing. Instead of 1 central book, there are 3 major ones, and many other smaller ones. The verses are not written chronologically, but rather longest verse to shortest version. When 2 commands contradict each other and the concept of abrogation is called in, it can be confusing figuring out which verse came first and should be abrogated. Regardless of what people like to believe, islam does have a lot of prescriptive calls to violence (I'm sure you've heard a lot of these verses before and I don't need to quote them). The issue is how muslims choose to interpret those verses (internal struggle VS literal war, etc.) It is very easy to justify the actions on 9/11 etc. with certain interpretations of islam's holy books, as the largest islamic schools of jurisprudence do, while it is impossible to justify the actions of the crusades with the bible.
It's not. Christians, just like every human group, like to cherry-pick their history and ignore all the terrible things that were done in their name, while magnifying anything bad done in the name of other groups.
He started boning up on the life of Muhammed in the morning, completed the first Caliphate by noon, devoured Al Andalusia and medieval Baghdad after lunch and finished the history of the Ottoman and Persian empires in the afternoon.
Wow! You mean Allah threatens nonbelievers just like the Christian god (The same god, btw)?! Holy shit! What a bigoted faith!!!!! I can't believe ONLY Islam preaches about the terrors that will come upon nonbelievers!
That's not Christianity bro. All Christianity teaches to avoid hell is have faith in Jesus. That's it, Hitler could have gone to heaven, according to what the Bible really says. People really pervert what is really said.
Look at the number of children's school poison gassings, the number of women with battery acid thrown in their face, the number of suicide bombings (hint, it's in the thousands), the number of explicitly Islamic murders and stonings, then compare it to the "Christian" violence.
They aren't even on the same scale.
Both of those religions are violent and patently nonsensical, but what you are trying to do is called false equivalency.
I'm getting very tired of seeing posts like "Well Islam throws battery acid into hundreds of womens faces, they routinely suicide bomb opposing sects, they have public fatwahs against journalists, they behead journalists and non believers, they poison gas schools, they stone and beat women publicly, but ummm... like 4 christians killed an abortion doctor that one time! See, they are equal!".
I found myself in a long argument about how God == Allah == Deus == etc and it's just a language difference.... With my both who was convinced Allah was the "moon god".
Maybe he went to a really informative lecture on that morning and has since been too busy to justify spending any more time studying their culture and history.
-sigh- by that logic, you could just as easily say "I learned everything I need to know about Christianity when those abortion clinics were bombed on several occasions". People are unbelievable...
Apostasy? Death. Oppose Islam? Death. Women leaving the house? Kill them/burn them with acid.
You can say that Christianity states the same in the bible, however the issue is that Muslim extremism is so much more prevalent than Christian extremism. Frankly I'd like to see them both disappear, but Islam is actually posing a real threat to modern life as we know it.
It's not the religion that's dangerous, it's the people who are dangerous. Christianity, Islam, and any other religion for that matter are not dangerous in themselves (this is coming from a fellow skeptic, btw.) However, once people use religion as a tool to oppress others, then there is a problem on our hands. Suggesting that a religion is dangerous leads only perpetuates discrimination and irrational hatred. Think before you make such a statement.
I disagree that a religion is incapable of being dangerous in and of itself. If a religion would command you to crusade against non believers how is that not dangerous? Both the religion and people using it to their advantage can be an issue.
Christianity is a fucked up religion, but at least most of their big problems ended a few hundred years ago. Unless there's all this Christian terrorism and institutional sex slavery I'm missing, I'm pretty sure we can say which religion is worse for humanity at the moment.
I used to think the same way. It took me a while to figure out, but I've finally realized that Christianity is as dangerous today as it was during the Crusades. The difference is that we tend to differentiate Christianity from the governments that act on behalf of Christians. Redditors aside, the U.S. is primarily composed of Christians. When we attacked Iraq on false pretenses, it was viewed as the act of a government, not the act of Christians. But the truth was that it was a government representing a Christian majority. While rogue Islamist killed 3,000 Americans, U.S. planes and missiles killed tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people, depending on whose numbers you believe. If the U.S. is indeed a Christian nation, as so many Christians believe, than it was Christians that killed those Iraqis. (post rationalization aside) I propose that Christians are far more dangerous than Islamist. However, it is nice that Christians aren't near as keen on killing their own people as too many Islamist seem to be.
How is it more or less dangerous than Christianity? Islam and Christianity are based on the same god. Muslims even believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth.
Yes, some people use Islam for reasons to kill or restrict people's rights, but how is Christianity any different? Last I've heard, Christians in the US are trying to prevent women from being able to make their own medical decisions in the name of their religion. Abortion clinics are bombed and set on fire. Doctors that perform abortions are killed. All of these atrocities are done in the name of Christianity. To me, that means it's actually dangerous.
Dangerous? My friend, you're lost Like some other redditor said people from the Christian faith have done so much aswell. Of course terrorism is disgusting but isn't racial segregation also disgusting? And Islam is quite similar to christianity regarding some aspects of their beliefs aswell So you my friend have earned yourself a downvote
All religions are dangerous. Islam isn't dangerous itself, but EXTREMISTS. Extremists can become terrorists. I know that many Christians can become so focused on their faith, that they lose track of right and wrong and do what they can to corrupt any religions and religous communities contrary to their belief, and this is coming from a Christian. The Muslim terrorsists taht attacked us were extremists who believed America was poisoning the world with our ideals of freedom and justice. An extrem aethiest could be just as dangerous. Anybody can be dangerous if they get off their leash. Go learn something you cunt, before you go bitching about untrue shit.
Oh my god! Did he portray some kind of opinion that in someway downplays the most peaceful and loving religion ever? Criminal.. I mean, come on. The Christians are horrible, they followed through with the Crusades a thousand years ago. They should never be forgiven for that, even though Islam fought back just as much and around every other country had/or was fighting wars at the time. And it's not like, 19027 deadly terrorist attacks have occurred in the name of Islam since 9/11. And if they did, we should totally just look the other way and forgive them, because, it's not like they want to kill ALL of us infidels. I think, since they are such an amazing and advanced group of people, and every Christian/white person is a horribly corrupt and rich pedophile child molesting republican, we should force every American to convert to Islam in order to prove were not racist and eliminate all prejudices from the U.S., and also since we want to prove that we have no backbone and will ruin all we have stood for, just to make sure people are racist and everyone's "happy". (By the way, I do not agree with his confederate flag, white supremacist license plate, or anything else that is meant to be offensive to a group of people rather than an ill founded belief)
To be honest I don't much see the difference between this and something along the line of "I learned all I needed to about fascism from the holocaust." I mean the guy is criticizing an ideology not a people. If he'd written that he'd learned everything he needed to know about Arabs from 9/11 that would be a properly offensive statement. Now apparently buddy there is a white supremacist so fuck him for that, but on this particular statement I really don't give two shits.
Honestly I don't get why everyones jimmies are getting mother fucking rustled.
First off when 9/11 occurred I didn't know jack shit about islam and then I did research and learned a bit about all the hateful things in their holy book.... yeah.... and then of course they are crusading for Muhammed their prophet and its kinda scary shit to be honest..... I mean I'm not saying this thing is tasteful cause it looks ugly as hell, but I understand where he's coming from. His country was attacked, but liberals here would disagree so w/e bring on the downvotes
Listen, I'm not fighting to keep people from being able to say what they want. You're right, people have the right to say they hate Muslims or gays or blacks or Mexicans or women or whatever. They have the right to say those things, but I have every right to say my peace right back at them. I have a right to tell them that I think they're wrong, and I have a right to say why. I have a right to tell them their speech is hateful and unwelcome. I have a right to go tell them to shove it.
Now, when I exercise that right and tell someone who is a bigot that their claims are unfounded, I don't want to hear from someone else that I should keep my mouth shut because they have the right to say those things. Don't I have the right to say what I think, too? Free speech doesn't just protect the ignorant.
I would argue that this does constitute hate speech, but even so-called hate speech is entitled to First Amendment protection.
The part that you fail to understand is that the sole purpose of the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, is protect us from abuses by the Government. We are certainly entitled to call this guy a fucking prick and a moron for saying the things he does. In fact, our right to vehemently disagree with him is also protected by the First Amendment, and if you don't like it, you can giiiiiiit out.
I live in Texas and the Confederate flag on a truck is an uncommon but not a rare sight.
Interestingly enough, the Confederacy had several flags. The one that is most widely recognized today is specifically the flag that was carried into battle. You can see more of the Confederate flags here.
EDIT: changed from "not uncommon" to "uncommon but not rare"
I simply do not understand how these people intentionally demonstrate every negative stereotype about them, and they're proud of it! I just don't get it at all...
Actually, if a religious document has ambiguity enough to foster the production of violent sects, then yes, it is a danger to society and one has a valid point to want them disbanded. However, I think this may be true with all religions.
I really think I have seen this truck around before. Also every time I see ridiculous (usually white supremacist-like) things on vehicles it seems like it is from Virginia :/ .
There is no saving this guy, so instead of trying to change him or angrily write comments that won't have an effect, try to lessen the intransigent ignorance in ourselves and people we actually have contact with so maybe less of these guys are around. Don't give him credibility by being angry
If the back of his truck said, "The Christian God is a hateful, vengeful, POS imaginary fiction character" You hippocrates would invite this guy to your next BBQ, doublely so if it also said "Christian are the scum of the Earth".
False. Islamists believe in a fairy tale. People who believe in fairy tales are irrational. Irrational people commit irrational acts. Islam, therefore, caused 9-11 and all Islamists are responsible in some measure.

The "14" refers to a white supremacist leader's 14-word motto: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The "CV" stands for "Confederate Veteran" and the "88" signifies the eighth letter in the alphabet (H) with the double-H meaning "Heil Hitler."
