Muslims

[Onkel Neal]

I may be asking for trouble, but people, please show some taste and sense; Islam is a religon, practiced by people, same as Judaism, Christianity, etc. All religons have some harsh elements in their history and holy books. Just like many modern Jews and Christians, some Muslims ignore those parts. I am not starting a debate on the merits of one religon over another, but come on, for Pete's sake. We know your religon is the one, true path to enlightenment, but don't beat us in the head with it.

Not all Muslims are evil jihadists. Many are uneducated people living in cultural wastelands, sort of like Europe in the Middle Ages. Some are very educated, bright, thoughtful members of society. There are a few we all know in every day life, and on this forum. Show a little respect to your fellow Subsimmer and don't bash his religon (or non-religon) endlessly.

As for the Muslim terrorists and violent activists, I do not excuse them or feel much like tolerating them, but in this forum, be clear and distinguish between those who practice hate and violence, and those who do not.

best,
Neal
