Fascists March in Brussels

I'm struggling to understand why these people are far right for protesting against terrorism? Or are we worried Muslims' feelings are going to get hurt even though they apparently don't align themselves with the terrorists? I'm confused.

It has always baffled me, this weird alliance between some on the left and Islam. Some of them would happily trample all over womens' rights, for example, just to defend it. It's very strange.

No I'd do away with politics and the law altogether.

I don't know any. They can't feel very strongly about it. The front pages are not exactly awash with news of Christians butchering modern day Odinists.

What is an ad hominem fallacy?

Your credibility takes a huge dump when you say things like that.

This reminded me of a time when there was a Muslim conference of sorts at my university, and females were segregated from the men and had to use a different doorway. I was discussing it with a female lecturer (a feminist one at that, actually) who explained that she disagreed with it, but would never dream of voicing that publicly as it's not right to intrude on someone else's 'culture'. Really, really bizarre.

I agree. Why are you saying this it's obvious?

An Ad Hominem fallacy is where an individual resorts to attacking the individual rather than their position on a subject.

To give an example, let's say I'm debating an individual with less-than-stellar views on non-whites. This specific individual believes black people are inferior and I believe everyone is equal. If I were to call this guy a ****** because of his attitudes towards non-whites, that would be ad hominem, because I am attacking him personally rather than trying to discredit his argument.

Well personally I would attack a facist because some things have to be dealt with that way. QED. Though I must admit I am just wasting time here these people are just a waste of time.

What could this woman do though? Speak up about it and have herself labelled a racist, lose her job? Most people aren't going to do that. They are going to just go with the flow, keep their mouth shut, and hang on till retirement.

They haven't quite explained an ad hominem fallacy correctly there. An ad hominem fallacy is where you try to discredit their argument with an attack on their character. In this instance an ad hominem fallacy is, rather than attacking the views on immigration that the neo-nazis are espousing, saying that we shouldn't even consider their view because they are neo-nazis. It's inherently flawed because you aren't refuting their argument, you're just saying cause they're wrong about other things they must be wrong about this too.

No I'd do away with politics and the law altogether.

I disagree very strongly with this attitude. Attacking people personally is no way to solve an argument, it just creates more and makes people angry. You say QED, so what is your proof?
