Let's look at his introductory statement.
"IM A MUSLIM AMERICAN BORN HERE AND I KNOW "THE LOOK" I GET FROM SOME OF YOU.BUT BEING A BLACK MAN IM USED TO IT. SO WHY DONT YOU LET IT OUT. BE TRUTHFUL YOU WILL FEEL BTTER."
This is both an accusation and an assumption of guilt based on a number of Logical fallacies.
First he's Begging the Question:
(The truth of the conclusion is assumed by the premises )
He talks about a "look" mentions that he's Muslim, but, specifically states that he's black. Uses those facts to make an assumption of what others are thinking, then based on his assumption recommends an action for others to take then assumes a result that's based on his conclusions.
This is using Logical Fallacies in an attempt to forestall a disagreement:
(poison well. Disagreement would be embarrassing. Everyone knows.)
As well as:
Creating misgivings:
(Innuendos, distorted charges.)
Faulty generalizations:
(Too little evidence, atypical cases cited.)
Assuming cause:
(post hoc. Preceding event caused X. Contrary to fact.)
Misuse hypothesis:
(Treat as certain outcome of hypothesis.)
He's promoting a charge of racism and assumed guilt.
Did he ever stop to think that maybe, he's just an ass hole and that's why people don't like him? Or maybe he forgot to smile and is running around with a scowl on his face, or you know what, maybe the other person got up on the wrong side of the bed, it happens.
The other thing he said was that he Is Muslim, at a time in this country when Islam is blowing up buildings and foot races and trying to institute Shari Law.
Is he running around in Muslim garb telling everyone how the United Sates sucks?
Islam tells all Muslims that there is no God but Allah and there is no religion, but, Islam. Because of that, every other religion is an insult to Islam, just by it's existence and must be destroyed. Anyone that does not believe in Islam is a non believer and infidel, has no right to live and must be converted or killed.
They accomplish their goals by the process of submission. Everyone must submit to Allah. Falsely accusing an infidel of insulting a Muslim or Islam and getting them to apologize, based on their accusation alone, is submission.
I will not submit.
