Hmmm.
Que's use of the term, and thus the post, was racist, due to the use of the term "sand monkeys".

You appear to endorse this, or at the very least, publically overlook it in favour of endorsing his point about Islam.

That seems disagreeable to me, as I don't condone racism in any form, even if - I would even hazard especially if - it precludes a larger point I agree with.

fair enough
I think.... What my point is... Is... why it is socially acceptable to rip into Christianity and offend Christians, but any mention of offending Islam and suddenly you're worse than Hitler?

I guess I shouldn't have *clicked* Que's post, but some parts I agreed with, although not the racist elements. I wasn't very clear in my post, and being honest yesterday I had a nasty debate with some self-righteous, politically correct types who can't see past their own opinions and jumped down my throat simply because I made a very passive comment about fundamentalism. Next time I'll explain myself slightly better.

Peace all.

I absolutely agree about religion, particularly Islam.
My objection is specifically that Islam is not a race, and to link it to such disingenuous at the very least.

Actually
I think that was me using a blunt argument to make a point when I should have been more careful with how I phrased things.

No no - it was what I objected to in Que's post.

Ah, I see.
It's just I know that I did it in my first reply above.
