This thread isn't a good look for TD. TX Tiger seems to be the most rational poster of the lot of you
And why is that? Do you not think those two men are in danger?

Everyone is always in some sort of danger. But that wasn't my first reaction to the story, no.
Even still, that's not what my comment was about. My comment was an observation of the absurdity of calling out TX Tiger for 'not contributing to the conversation' when there was absolutely no conversation being had to begin with. Just a bunch of gut reactions assuming the worst about the lives of 2 people we've never met, living a life that we'll never have any real insight into. We get a 5 sentence blurb from some puff-price article and everyone jumps in here to take their shot at Islam and associate this step forward with suspicion and doubt.
Maybe these two men's lives are in danger. But I can't see how that's the most important take away. And I certainly don't see why anyone who questions that as the primary takeaway is shouted down like a witch in Salem.
