So its august the troll on his usual rants again
Look at the statement he made.
Look at the statement he made
It makes no sense.
Take two west africans both wearing their sunday/friday finest on a wednesday, which one is the muslim and which is the christian?
Now take two or three Indians, look at their clothes, which one is the muslim?
Do the same with a couple of arabs....see it makes no sense.
That is why it lacks even the flake of rationality that could make the statement he made rational.
If he had said he gets nervous if there are muslims on a plane then irrational as it may actually be then it is slightly rational, but to say its if he sees people dressed like what he thinks muslims dress like it makes him scared then he has an irrational fear based on an irrational concept.
What you have been doing tater is attempting to explain the rationality of a statement he never made instead of dealing with what he said.

I'm dealing with exactly what he said.
I said his STATEMENT was rational. Read. Not that his FEELINGS were rational.
I've said this every time.
He was rationally discussing his IRRATIONAL feelings. He said:
Quote:
“When I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

He means what in the US is "political" muslim clothing. Hijab, burqua, robes, etc. Not West Africans, not people from the subcontinent, but
Arab garb (when your typical American muslim dresses like... an American. Those that dress like Arabs on domestic flights are doing so as a
demonstration.).
In his statement he is RATIONALLY discussing his feelings. His feelings do not have to be rational for his statement
about his feelings to be rational.
Schizophrenics have cycles of lucidity. If during a sane, lucid period, a schizophrenic discusses his feelings from a period when he WAS "crazy" his statement is NOT irrational. He could say, "I felt like everyone was talking about me when I was out in public." He can go on to say he knows that's crazy, NOW. His feelings at the time were irrational. His statement about those feelings later NOT IRRATIONAL.
Williams was not being irrational on Fox. He was rationally discussing partially irrational feelings. On the plane, when he's feeling that, then he's not being entirely rational, he's being emotional. In the studio... the situation is hypothetical.
So again, he got in trouble for rationally discussing partially irrational feelings. And they are only partially irrational. I welcome proof of recent intentional airline disasters caused by non-muslims.
