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?

How about the FACT that the overwhelmingly vast percentage of people who practice the Islamic religion are not actually c*nts?

So calling Islam a c*nt religion is a pretty ignorant and bigoted thing to say.

Classic broad brush mentality.

No it's not it's an opinion on the religion without necessarily having an opinion on the people who follow it (to whatever extent). You are simply incapable of separating ideas from people.

Some people like Morrisey as a singer. I don't. All of his fans are therefore c*nts.

There's is absolutely no difference between this statement and you calling Islam a c*nt religion.

Don't talk down to me when it's you tripping all over yourself trying justify your ignorant comments.

Abortion doctor and worker killers, Timothy McVeigh (an admitted believer in God) = Christianity is a c*nt religion.

I didn't say that though

I didn't say 'a c*nt religion', that's something you've pulled out of your arse. The words used were 'a c*nt of a religion' so maybe this is why you are confusing yourself. The point of my original post was that they (a religion and it's followers) are not the same thing, and you can have a negative opinion of the religion without having a negative opinion of it's followers.

Read this a few times in the morning when you are totally clear headed and then get back to me.

Just nailed my point for me. Why would anyone have a negative opinion of Islam?

Goodnight.

tf are you on about? It is morning, don't know if you've noticed but I live in the UK

What I posted makes perfect sense.

Not necessarily because of it's followers if that's what you're getting at. Again you are not capable of separating one from the other.

Chula has to be below level IQ. He doesn't even realize he's not dealing with what you're saying. He tries desperately to hang on to a point no matter how deep a hole he has dug.

If I were Monkey I'd be slamming my head into a wall at this point.
