Maybe but I think a lot of it is to do with just defending the brown pplz (because as we learned on here recently, Islam is a race) as well though.

Islam is a religion, Muslims are people. It is possible to think Islam is a c*nt of a religion without thinking every single Muslim or even most of them is a c*nt with extremist views in the same way people can think religion in general is retarded without judging every single religious person. As you were asked the other day who is actually doing this? A few of the posters on here who have posted criticisms of Islam on this thread are from places in England with significant to high Muslim populations, have probably gone to school and college with them, worked with them, went round their house and had tea with them and know full well they aren't all arseholes. You are pissing in the wind trying to make this point about 'not all Muslims'.
Is there a single poster on here who thinks every single Muslim is an extremist?
