@KiszelyPhilip He was almost certainly responding to people attacking him for being a Muslim. Your reply demonstrates a profound ignorance of how we alter the order of our utterances according to context. You are an ignorant racist. And that's a problem for everyone.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@calvinrobinson You are a bigot. You and your fellow right-wing ideologues are yourselves intent on taking over the whole world for your inhumane monetarist policies. Your vile generalisations about one of the world's great religions are beneath contempt.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@elonmusk No: it's the number 1 Islamophobic lies source (judging by what I have seen on here this week).

[David Frier @frier_david]

@WatchChad So please tell us what harm he is doing to you or anyone else.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@mattvanswol What are you missing here? Reality.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@JohnCleese Yes.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@MAGAVoice Note the position of your apostrophe. Are you saying that there is only one Veteran in the whole wide world?

[David Frier @frier_david]

@amjushere Cos he was inside is own half!

[David Frier @frier_david]

@elonmusk Quantify this. Don't just assert it.

[David Frier @frier_david]

Why has this platform been overflowing with ill-informed anti-Muslim hatred over the past few days? Could it have anything to do with the person who owns it? (Elon: you can ban me if you want. If it is over this post, I will regard it as a badge of pride.)

[David Frier @frier_david]

@kingkapoor72 No.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@4thOfJuly365 Not from me, you can't, bigot.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@GuntherEagleman How? It's a religion. Are you taking us back to the Spanish Inquisition?

[David Frier @frier_david]

@SonofManwithus Yes. Because you are pretending that all of these crimes are committed solely by Muslims. And your post is intimidating the public. You are a racist and an Islamophobe.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@TheBritLad PS: If you are a 'British patriot', please get your English right. The verb that you need in your second sentence should be 'is' not 'are'. Just saying.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@TheBritLad Why do you define Muslims only as Muslims? And not as people who are also men and women, black and white, observant or non-observant? Just a couple of categories. But you prefer the broad brush of outright racism.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@IsabellaMDeLuca You seem to be very keen on saying this. Maybe rather than repeating this statement you might want to refine and define your terms. Or make an actual argument. As it is, this sounds remarkably like hate speech.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@JewsFightBack Sounds like a petulant fit to me.

[David Frier @frier_david]

@JoeyMannarinoUS And your hostility to a particular religion is incompatible with your supposedly secular Constitution, which permits the practice of religion while not bringing it into government practice.
