no, thats like discriminating on account of homosexuality, that was their choice too. discriminationg is not something that needs to be practiced, thered no need for it, jut accep people for who they are and what the choose

^thats (hopefully) judging based on personality which is fine. there is a thin line, and it is easily crossed in both directions. Just appologize if someone gets pissed thats what I do.

Choosing friends how political partie is not an act of discrimination, but of preference. Discrimination is judging a person with unsuported fact followed by a Restriction of freedoms or rights based on that judgment.

I couldn't say. Personally I think religion is the biggest freaking joke/lie in the whole history of the human race. It's the tallest most crazy story anyone can read... and yet so many ppl beleive it. That's only my view though, so don't get angry at me if you're religious.

I think he means every religion... except Boudism because it is more a philosophy than a religion

Theyre not cultish.
Have you read the book of mormon? They're a branch of christianity with only a little stricter and updated beliefs.

honestly, if the man was running for president and had a good perspective and good ideas i would vote for him. just because hes islamic doesnt mean shit, thats just a scare thats been going around since 9/11 and is not true for every muslim. so discriminating an islamic president would be no different than discriminating against a hindu or jewish president. extremists exist in every religion, its just the muslims that have been brought to our attention in the past few years, and we have aquired a fear of them. discrimination and judging based on stereotypes is wrong and does not work to anyones advantage, so just dont do it. look at who the person really is before you judge them
