Freddie - do you actually know what it means to be Muslim? You appear to think that it's a term applied to a geographical area, or was that a slip of the keyboard?Freddie said:...the muslims of today see us the westerners as the enemy...
Either way, it's hard to take seriously a point of view put forward by someone who can't exercise care or accuracy in their choice of words on what is an incredibly sensitive subject. Personally, I'm no more a fan of political correctness for the sake of it than I am of any "ism" that you care to mention.
I'm completely behind everything oilman has written on this topic, but if you can't drop your extremist dogma for one moment to consider that there might be other, equally valid, points of view, then (a) it's not worth debating with you and (b) you have not tiniest iota of a remote chance in hell of persuading anyone else around to your way of thinking. And I use the word "thinking" in its loosest possible sense.
