It means there is a difference in their ideologies. It means the Democrats are making the same kid of mistake as the German Communists did in the early 30's: first Brown, then Red. Here: first NOI, then Blue. And like the Coms, it means the Blues are so used to wrapping themselves in the muck of racial victimology and entitlement that they really think that will work. In short, it means they are fools.
That's beautiful. You will happily spend all day pointing at negative comments made by muslim leaders about America/Israel and insist that those prove that they are fanatically opposed to everything western, yet here you have a guy calling the president a murderer and an assassin and because it doesn't fit your little warped worldview you just brush it off as 'a difference in their ideologies'.
And you wonder why I call you intellectually dishonest..
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

Islamist leaders are those I criticise for their religious-political beliefs. You equate Muslims with Islamists: I don't.
and because it doesn't fit your little warped worldview
Sure it does. I don't equate the NOI with the Dems any more than I equate the Dems with the Coms or the Coms with the Nazis. I'm saying the Dems are making a mistake in assuming that people will turn to them after seeking NOI protection. I'm saying that mistake will cost a great deal to Chigaco, long term maybe even the US. Because it empowers the NOI. The history books aren't written yet and the NOI may rise or (hopefully) fall for other reasons. But if they do Americans and the Dems in particular will have only themselves to blame for the cost to society.
As a corollary to the above I attempt an explanation for why the Dems act as they do. My explanation is that the Dems have accepted the logic of racial and collective victimology. You accept that it is alright to work with and endorse Al Sharpton despite his racism because-to use your words-"he gets a pass" because he was a victim of racism. You are a Brit but your views are not atypical of left wing Americans in this respect. Well, what is the difference, then, between that and accepting that Farrakhan "gets a pass"?
you just brush it off as 'a difference in their ideologies'.
Well, I'm implacably convinced that cooperating with black supremacism is a grave evil, and poses a grave danger. The same danger that white supremacism once posed-the creation of a cast society. The Dems are unconcerned.
As an Australian, not much I can do about it. But given that I post here I may as well express my views. If you think I'm wrong, by all means correct me. But this:

Islamist leaders are those I criticise for their religious-political beliefs. You equate Muslims with Islamists: I don't.
That's funny, you regularly make sweeping statements about the entire populations of various muslim countries in your ill-thought out rants about 'Islamists'.

Yeah, there will surely come a time when the good people of America fall under the sway of the evil NOI, particularly given how open and welcoming the US is already towards muslims. I'm frankly amazed that there isn't already Sharia law being written in blood over the ripped pages of the constitution. Only a matter of time I guess.

Could it be because unlike the white supremacists, the black supremacists have never actually been in the supremacy? Or that people cut them a little more slack because they actually did get treated like slaves by the whites?

Well, it won't get you anywhere.
Pointing out that you are being fundamentally dishonest (and pointing out why) does actually get me somewhere, it helps to undermine your ridiculous drip feeding of hate and bigotry towards people you barely understand but insist on demonizing.
We have people like you in the UK as well you see, they form little groups called things like the British National Party and the English Defense League, and they spread fear and exploit peoples vulnerabilities to try and make their particular racist cancer grow. Like you, everything they talk about has a nasty little racist or xenophobic twist in the tail, everything leads to a dark path where the good white citizens are subverted and overthrown by the evil coloured folk with their savage heathen religions. It's a wierd combination of pathetic and vile to be quite frank.

You can tell Zevico is an Australian who gets his entire view of America from internet blogs (like Heraclitus did). The absurdity of the threat of the Nation of Islam betrays that he knows nothing about America.

People laughed at the Nazis. Absurdity has a way of becoming reality. There is no "end of history" in real life-no point at which we all get to sit back and relax because we've won "the war for democracy." The NOI will do its best to gain power. It opposes democracy. And the Dems are working with it. This is how societies die: not because they don't permit gay marriage but because they're willing to make these surrenders which they think are minor. This generation welcomes the NOI to Chicago. The next generation of Chicagoans may be comprised of many more NOI members than before. The Dems have legitimated the NOI as protectors of the community.
Really, is this so surprising to you? The same culture of racial entitlement is what repelled you from the Dems. I remember you writing about the Dem worker who came to your door talking about "Chinks" taking away jobs. The same thinking has produced race riots and the burning of Asian grocery stores, all propelled by men pushing the racial entitlement line like Sharpton and Farrakhan.

For someone from Australia you spend a lot of time worrying about the US.
A fair point.

In another thread I pointed out that to you the BNP have won a MEP seat. I decried it too and suggested that it indicated a decay of British society. You live in a dream world if you think I am racist. You insult me because you have nothing else to say. You ought to be ashamed.

You use the same dog whistle racism that nationalists and hate-mongers have used for a century or more, yet in your case it's different right? You talk about how groups that comprise less than 1% of a country population are somehow a danger to the rest, yet never actually bother to explain how, instead its all dark insinuation and scare tactics.
Here's a clue for you: when 75% of your posts are about the dangers of a minority group, then you have a problem.
No you didn't, you claimed they were represented in parliament. C0ckney had to correct you if memory serves.
Which was actually pretty dumb of you, considering nationalist politics have declines over the last half century rather than increased.

None of my posts have been or are about the dangers of a "minority group." It is you who identify the views of Farrakhan et al with blacks at large in this post, and Islamists with Muslims at large, not I. In any case how is it logical to speak of blacks and Muslims as such globally? They are not a collective Borg mind. It is you who suggest as much. You speak of dog whistles ecause you cannot actually prove your assertions. Here's a clue for you: only the dog can hear the dog whistle.

The gay marriage debate is pretty much a boon to anti-homosexual groups.
Random Schmuck: I don't really care if homosexuals want to go around buggering each other or whatever it is they do, but I'm opposed to this gay marriage thing because it's kind of stupid.
Insane Homosexual: You're basically Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot rolled into one person, plus you smell bad.
Random Schmuck: Seriously? Okay, I've changed my mind, I think that homosexuality should be illegal, because **** you.
This in a nutshell is every discussion on poly.
