Prejudice is natural. Our brains are hardwired to process information by forming broad generalizations based on prior history.

So while there is a part of me that may think that, there is the other part of me that recognizes that is prejudice and attempts to regulate my natural inclination to draw such prejudiced conclusions.
Ok so you are saying that I am being prejudice but it is natural based on prior history of Muslim countries and isolated incidents of hatred against Americans. Not the whole country or Muslim's in general, but isolated incidents.

Don't know but let's say I do. That would be irrelevant with respect to whether Qatar is involved or not. It is a non sequitur fallacy. Just because that may be true it does not follow that it means they murdered Wahl.
I don't think "the country" is involved. Like they ordered his murder. I just think there is a chance that an extremist on his or her own did it.

Correct. It may be your prejudiced ends up being true in this case but it is still prejudiced. The whole reason why prejudice exists is there is usually some kernal of truth to it.

And I would agree that is possible. Not sure I would say it is more likely as no means to validate that.

In an episode of the podcast Futbol with Grant Wahl, published days before his death on December 6, he had complained of feeling unwell. “It had gotten pretty bad in terms of like the tightness in my chest, tightness, pressure. Feeling pretty hairy, bad,” Wahl told co-host Chris Wittyngham in the episode.

Tightness/pressure in the chest? A rational person would suspect a cardiac event...
Those are very vague symptoms that a lot of people with chest congestion experience.

You're sort of ignoring the fact that he suddenly collapsed & died. That's a pretty definitive "symptom". Rational people would suspect that someone who complained about chest tightness/pressure and then suddenly collapses & dies most likely suffered a fatal coronary event. It's not so rational to jump immediately into Jason Bourne mode...

An autopsy will undoubtedly determine what he actually died of, but I have little doubt that whatever the autopsy results are, they will just get rolled into whatever conspiracies are being dreamed up...

I didn't say Muslims hate us generally. I live next door to devout Muslims and they are very nice people. What I did say is that there is anti-western sentiment in Muslim countries. There is also anti-Muslim sentiment in parts of the US. There is racism in the US and all over the world. If a black guy was killed by a cop, would it be wrong to have a feeling without evidence that it was tied to racism?
When a religion which controls the mind set of about a billion people and teaches then to hate anyone not having their beliefs, I believe it is not racist to want to be fearful of the countries who subscribe to that mind set. Ever read the Koran and how the mullahs teach the Muslim religion? IF you read it, what do you think about what a so-called "good" practicing Muslim is ordered to do?

I've said this clearly before. IF and I say IF intelligent Muslims who do not believe in the hate filled orders contained in the Koran, then they should depart from that religion and maybe start an orthodoxy of their faith based on live and let live and being good moral people. But in the meantime, it is crap to ignore how the Islamic world is educated from the beginning.

Sorry conspiracy theorists.
Yes it rules out anything nefarious. It also rules out the fear mongering doctors saying that it was MERS and since there are large gatherings with the world cup, it is going to recombine with Covid and cause the apocalypse.

No idea what you are talking about. The only crazy conspiracy expressed in this thread was you claiming without a shred of evidence that it was more likely that the Qataris killed him.

You were wrong and deflecting to some MERS bullshit no one said in this thread is not a good look.

I stated my opinion. I did not claim anything. My opinion was wrong and I admitted it.

France vs Argentina

Rematch of the 2018 round of 16 matchup, win easily by France although Argentina did hold a lead in that game

So a country that got rid of all their black people vs a country that hates all the black people on the team.
