I appreciate the thought... but what I was insinuating was... is the antagonizing "on purpose"? In other words, is this guy getting angry because he's having trouble dealing with random developments in society, OR might these "developments" be orchestrated?

Just trying to understand....are you saying that society orchestrated some sort of development in order to get this guy to put out a zany commercial?

If so, that sounds like a lot of work for like, not that much payoff. (although it does sound like a rather diabolical plan...)

Nothing specific to this guy... I'm just asking... might there be a "pressure" applied to a certain section of the population to illicit a predicted response?

Could be that he knew it would be controversial- and therefore widely broadcasted- so he tossed it in there to get his commercial broadcasted nationwide and all over the interweb.

Just a thought.

Could be indeed. Although I think he was serious. Does anyone have an update to this story? I know at one point there was an investigation going on.

A debate about nature vs nurture in the context of an allegedly bigoted commercial? Fascinating. This thread keeps getting better. LOL

Nature v nurture??? Well... no... I was thinking more about the "diversity and inclusion" bs infecting the veins of corporate America... for example.

Sounds like an interesting topic to explore, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Are you thinking in cause/effect terms that society's PC charged atmosphere created a whiplash effect that drove this guy to exclude a group of people?

The Texas Department of Public Safety, which oversees the concealed carry program, and licenses instructors, said in a statement that "certified instructors are required to comply with all applicable state and federal statutes, and conduct by an instructor that denied service to individuals on the basis of race, ethnicity, or religion would place that instructor's certification at risk."

Looks like he is running afoul of Texas licensing requirements.

It is odd that some folks on this forum seem to be all worked up over Mr. Crockett's statements regarding Muslims and not his statements regarding liberal socialists/Obama voters. To some on this forum, the OP once again provides a forum to bash the Christian faith. Hey, it's a free country.

The 'good Muslims' will not be marching on the 'bad Muslims', running them out of their ranks so to speak, because the 'good Muslim' know that the minuscule number of 'bad Muslims' will kill them. It has been proven to be a fact of life in the Muslim world. It does not take a great deal of Google-Fu to find example after example after example of a 'few bad apples' in the bunch, have, are, and will, kill those who speak out against them. Heck, a comic strip will get you killed.

By the way, being that Islam has quite a few adherents, a 'minuscule number' is still a large number of folks.

In fact, it only takes one 'bad Muslim' to kill many 'good Muslims'. Happens every day. The 'good Muslims' know this and are keeping their mouths shut. I guess I would too, knowing this of my fellow Muslims, if I were Muslim that is. Can't fault them for wanting to keep breathing.

Mr. Crockett simply states the obvious, if you can not know who the 'bad Muslims' are and who the 'good Muslims' are, why take the chance.

I find it especially interesting that a fella in Texas does not have 'Mexicans' on his 'no teach' list given recent events. So, is he a bigot? Based on the available facts, not in my view. Then again, Mr. Crockett is not a protected class of citizen either. So he is fair game by the overly sensitive crowd.

Interesting....very interesting.

Are you saying the vast majority of Muslims are cowards?

Just that most Muslims are to scared to speak out against a tiny minority, which is perpetuating choas and destruction, because of fear that they will be killed... sounds like a description with implicit cowardice.

You see, Muslims believe in the same God you do. Even if you claim they don't, they are still not "Godless", because they, much like you, lay claim to belief in a "God" using the same level of evidence and critical thinking that you do.

They believe in A god. Not OUR Christian God. Why? It's very simple. In Christianity, we believe that God is the Holy Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The "Son" being Jesus, and therefore, divine.

Islam does not believe in the divinity of Jesus, and therefore, does not believe in the same god.

The man has a right to say what he wants. If he wants to run his business that way, it is his choice. If you don't like what he said don't do business with him. He made his choice.

That depends on your brand of Christianity.

He's not a bigot. If I create a religion around the idea that punching myself in the crotch every hour on the hour will get me into Valhalla, anyone joining that religion would have shown a glaring inability to make sound and rational decisions...

An obvious Bad Decision re-branded as a Religion... Hell, isn't that the definition of Liberalism?

I guess the Jews do not believe in the same god either?

Read this in the context of my other posts.

Of course not. Only "good" Christians believe in the same god. "Bad" Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in a different god. (which is actually the same god) Isn't that convenient?

I have made no strawman argument. I am simply analyzing and discussing :

"The 'good Muslims' will not be marching on the 'bad Muslims', running them out of their ranks so to speak, because the 'good Muslim' know that the minuscule number of 'bad Muslims' will kill them. It has been proven to be a fact of life in the Muslim world. It does not take a great deal of Google-Fu to find example after example after example of a 'few bad apples' in the bunch, have, are, and will, kill those who speak out against them. Heck, a comic strip will get you killed."

Such a statement has a few implications, first is that good Muslims are scared of bad Muslims (as put forth) and are therefor cowards(the only possible unmentioned conclusion). I think this is false on its face. I think the numbers are reversed where most Muslims agree on disliking liberty and simply see no reason to say anything against the "bad" muslims. As evidence of a general lack of cowardice are the uprisings in recent history. Seems many Muslims are not afraid of death, yet nothing is said against "bad" Muslims. This implies the "bad" Muslims are in fact the majority or at least the majority sympathize with them.
