So did Scotrod's freedom of speech get blown up? Is he Charlie?
Oh my???
Again----what does this have to do with motorcycles?

To end this that wasn't a comparison or freedom of speech, it was plagerism within direct quotes. And, yes, to handle this you must handle the terrorists like Israel does, military occupation combined with excellent counter intelligence is the only solution. The cops alone can't handle it, as was demonstrated when the terrorist assassinated that poor French cop, already wounded on the ground, who put his hand up as a last sign of desparation before the trigger was pulled.
I have no dog in this fight. I have no Muslim friends nor do I have Jewish friends. I find this exchange entertaining. Nearly 2 billion people are judged by the action of a few hundred or thousands
What Scotrod did was simply change the group from Muslim to Jews and suddenly it is a horrible thing to say those words. His post is deleted because it offended---kind of like a French magazine offends in the name of humor. I think that's ironic--- and true.
A little known fact is that Germany never had more than 33% of the population belonging to the Nazi party and yet we think of all Germans of the 1930-1940s as being the worst of humanity
Here is my message----Judge the person and not the group. Now that everybody's thinking and angry, I will enjoy that fact. it never hurts to wear somebody else's shoes for a while.

You are missing the point, his post was deleted because it was a FALSE representation of another quote/member, it triggered incorrect assumptions which in turn caused another member to smear undeservingly the non-offending member.
If you guys want to wrongfully piss off your fellow riders .... there are several motorcycle websites where that is their primary sport. I prefer to keep this website without any of the BS. I'm not perfect nor will I be able to please everyone.
Please remember that if you have not paid your membership dues to this website ... and your post is deleted don't expect a refund.
Please .... let's stick to the thread topic. Thanks
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
maybe I am.
A blanket statement about X group is ok. The same blanket statement against y group is offensive.
How many individuals of either group do we personally know?
Let us say that I am Muslim in a country in the Middle East. I am actually a fat old bald guy in NC! but if I were how should I react to all of this?

YOU ARE MISSING MY POINT !!!!! I don't care of what group you want to speak of !
If you want to talk about a specific group then OWN your own post, don't make it look like someone else made the statement.

Phantom don't waste your breath because apparently the people who are commenting didn't read or didn't understand what they were reading. Scotrod didn't replace the word Muslim with Jew because my focus wasn't on the Muslims, it was on the terrorists, who were hiding inside the Muslim enclaves. And if you (from the original post)"Put a permanent military presence inside these communities and the good citizens of these areas will feel safe because they can't be threatened or intimidated by the radicals..." because then you would have (from the original post) "route out current and potential terrorists". That was the focus, not the law abiding Muslim citizens inside these communities, and once you restore order they (from the original post) "can't be threatened or intimidated by the radicals since they are just as much hostage of these same radicals as the rest. Once you restore order these citizens will trust you that you are not the enemy, which they are brainwashed to believe." Scotrod then went ahead and replaced terrorists with the word Jew. Like I said previously, if you don't understand what you're reading I will explain it.
I started this thread asking why this senseless act?
Post #9 (It has to do with humanity)
I stated in respect to our fellow French F6B members,
"We stand united, we feel your pain. We are all Charlie"
The altered post was misleading and unfortunately it worked, causing another member to react incorrectly.
Wether it was satire or not, it was a false quote and merited its removal.
