Draw Mahammad Day!


Recommended Posts

It is just ignorant people that view it as that, no matter what country people should be free everywhere no one should be viewed as a lower status than someone else for no real reason.

SO I am ignorant now? A white dude still to this day gets hired after a person of color..Our "president" recently called for BLACK leaders to enroll support in their communities, not all leaders just the darker ones..Don Imus got kicked the F%$K off the radio for saying nappy headed hos about a mixed raced manly looking womens basketball team..Oh and lets not forget that there are many out there who feel it should be OK for illegals to live here freely and work when they want for who they want..Ah yeah and the point tho this whole thread being that even in this country we can't draw some tool only muslims care about..Jennifer Aniston got attacked by the media and special interest groups for calling herself a retard on Regis and Kelly...THE ACLU TOOK THE TIME TO BURY A FRIGGIN WORD!!!

 

Yeah your right I am ignorant there is no sort of pattern there...

 

Seems to me only people who choose to truly be and think freely are the ones on the "lower status" you mentioned...

This text contains an astounding array of inaccuracies and exaggerations. Let's start with the main proposition:

 

* Are Muslims "specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured," as claimed in the message?

 

No. There is no provision specifically exempting Muslims from mandated health insurance in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Neither the word "Muslim" nor the word "Islam" appears anywhere in the bill.

* Are any religious groups exempted from the mandate?

 

Yes, a paragraph on page 107 of the legislation does provide for individual religious exemptions, though the language is non-specific with regard to particular faiths:

 

(5) EXEMPTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.—In the case of an individual who is seeking an exemption certificate under section 1311(d)(4)(H) from any requirement or penalty imposed by section 5000A, the following information [is required]:

 

(A) In the case of an individual seeking exemption based on the individual's status as a member of an exempt religious sect or division, as a member of a health care sharing ministry, as an Indian, or as an individual eligible for a hardship exemption, such information as the Secretary shall prescribe.

 

Similarly, on page 128:

 

"(A) RELIGIOUS CONSCIENCE EXEMPTION.—Such term [i.e., "applicable individual"] shall not include any individual for any month if such individual has in effect an exemption under section 1311(d)(4)(H) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which certifies that such individual is a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof described in section 1402(g)(1) and an adherent of established tenets or teachings of such sect or division as described in such section.

 

The above passage amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in which Section 1402(g)(1) defines "a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof" as follows:

 

(1) Exemption

Any individual may file an application (in such form and manner, and with such official, as may be prescribed by regulations under this chapter) for an exemption from the tax imposed by this chapter if he is a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof and is an adherent of established tenets or teachings of such sect or division by reason of which he is conscientiously opposed to acceptance of the benefits of any private or public insurance which makes payments in the event of death, disability, old-age, or retirement or makes payments toward the cost of, or provides services for, medical care (including the benefits of any insurance system established by the Social Security Act). Such exemption may be granted only if the application contains or is accompanied by—

 

(A) such evidence of such individual’s membership in, and adherence to the tenets or teachings of, the sect or division thereof as the Secretary may require for purposes of determining such individual’s compliance with the preceding sentence, and

 

(B) his waiver of all benefits and other payments under titles II and XVIII of the Social Security Act on the basis of his wages and self-employment income as well as all such benefits and other payments to him on the basis of the wages and self-employment income of any other person,

 

and only if the Commissioner of Social Security finds that—

 

© such sect or division thereof has the established tenets or teachings referred to in the preceding sentence,

 

(D) it is the practice, and has been for a period of time which he deems to be substantial, for members of such sect or division thereof to make provision for their dependent members which in his judgment is reasonable in view of their general level of living, and

 

(E) such sect or division thereof has been in existence at all times since December 31, 1950.

 

as you can see, the law sets the bar quite high for eligibility for a religious exemption. According to a 2009 report on MSNBC.com, the language was originally meant to apply only to the Old Order Amish, whose beliefs prohibit them from participating in public or commercial insurance. Instead, they participate in a form of self-insurance per the language above requiring exempted sects "to make provision for their dependent members

Anyone who wants to be guided by facts. I don't get your misplaced anger. Raythat simply countered Jim's premise with proof of the actual law. You do not seem to even be following the thread as we have moved past drawing Mohamed a long time ago. The premise you were replying to was that there was special provisions in the health care bill for Muslims. There are not. There are special provisions for any religion that has a religious reason not to participate.

 

Your appeal to emotion and oversimplification of the complex issues of race says more about you than it does the subject.

Why dump the topic? Some of us have been having a calm reasoned discussion. Good points have been made on both sides. Suppressing topics that are uncomfortable will not bring a better understanding to either side. You know you don't have to read topics that upset you?

 

More importantly I want to set the example of how reasoned and intellectually honest debate works. Our country has devolved into angry and emotional debate where no one listens to the other side. I blame a lot of this on the school system that does not teach critical thinking or intellectually honest debate. Because of that people can easily be misled by fallacies that on the surface appear to be accurate but in reality are just the equivalent of Jedi mind tricks.

Nope, you are right in sync, with the rest of us, and somehow also out of sync. Did you notice that the only folks in those movies that had a recurring role in all 6 were 2 droids and a dude that becomes a machine and then dies when he embraces his humanity? How messed up is that?

 

****End transmission of subtle thread hijack routine*** ;)
