I can't say I enjoy hearing it much.

but after much consideration, my opinion of muslims
is coming on par with yours. They truly are all ****ed in the head.

Even granting, which I wouldn't, the arab peninsula, every single
Muslim in Bosnia, Turkey, Indonesia, past and present is or was ****ed
in the head? I could stand to be reminded of your methodology at this
point.


Methodology? I'm just nuturing a prejudice. Don't pretend you don't
have 'em too!


I think most people understand that you are just **** stirring, but
unfortunately your little pals may actually believe this ********.


I very much doubt it. My inclusion of the word "all" was quite
intentional, as no-one would believe I meant it.

FWIW I just spent a week in Tunisia in the company of people from Iran,
Oman, Kuwait, Libya etc etc, and I can assure you that none of them was
"****ed in the head". They were kind, funny, educated people. The only
person who was ****ed in the head was the poor sap who had to give
simultaneous translation for a visitor from Kazakhstan.

But, as you say, it's just a prejudice and has nothing to do with
facts.


Indeed. Note that I regard all religions as equally silly and
dangerous, it's just that the Muslims are going particularly crazy at
the moment - with some justification.
