It isn't rocket science. Being muslim and being uneducated are not universally mutually inclusive.
To justify your hate using incorrect statements is, by anyone's account, unethical. That's the whole point. I'm sure there're harder targets for witty remarks, IF you were trying to act smart. If you were just asking, then the answer to your inquiry was a common-sense laden "no, it's not true at all."

I didn't say it was true and nor did I ask if the "uneducated muslims" comment was true. What I asked, if you re-read it, was: could be considered an insult IF it was true.

What you're doing is attaching a ton of perceived context to my words. You're seeing what I wrote, filtering it through your own subconscious, and interpreting it as something that offends you. All you're doing is looking for something to be offended by in my words, and when you find nothing valid, you presuming some double meaning on my part.

Effectively you WANT to be offended so you can get all snarky and attempt a witty retort to a comment that wouldn't have caused offence to anyone with enough confidence and maturity to read it objectively.

Using words like "hate", "unethical" and "witty" shows you are offended by my question. As all offence is subjective this means it is your own doing. If you're offended by my question, which you definitely seem to be, you've no one to blame but yourself.

They way you said it implied that the above statement was an oxymoron. I'll take your word on it that it wasn't malicious, and there weren't any underlying sub-texts involved, in which case I accept that as my own failure to comprehend and apologize for the misunderstanding.

Try and be a little more objective in future.

For the record I think it's pretty clear the vast majority of muslims are uneducated in many ways, but then so is the vast majority of mankind so you can take solace in that.... or maybe you'll find it depressing.

War and conflict and distrust of the different is human nature.

Quote:

Yes it's a low level war. Look at just about everywhere where Muslims live with non-Muslims. There is conflict. E.g. Nigeria, Central African Republic, China, India, Philippines, Indonesia. As well as Arab and Malaysian persecution of non-Muslims (or even different Islamic denominations - the undeclared Shia-Sunni conflict).

It is a two way street - e.g. attacks on Muslims in CAR or Nigeria by Christian militias or massacre of Muslims in Gujarat in India or persecution of Muslim Tartars in some parts of Russia.

Quote:


It exists because when it comes down to it, humans are animals with same territorial and survival instinctual urges that a pride of lions or pack of wolves displays.

One sees this even in small scale stuff - the manager protecting their budget/resource allocation (even when they don't need it), back stabbing behaviour for gain at work or in family relationships.

We can ignore survival of the fittest, but it does tend to rule us when you think about it.



In any case the drummer from the Scorpions was a bit of an idiot, even though the laws of the country are even more idiotic (and this is a rather trivial example).

Yeah but is it really how it should be? On the basis of religion alone? There shouldn't be any grouping in the first place. I don't think the vast majority are all that black/white. It's the bad apples from every denominations that are responsible, and hardly the majority. Not even condoning said parties, contrary to popular belief.

I don't think it's just the bad apples.

Most common people tend to follow whatever the powers that be dictate should be either because they partly/wholly believe it or out of fear (not only persecution but social exclusion and fear from being seen as being different) or due to personal interests.


I dunno if you've seen the movie the Book Thief, but it's a great portrayal of how ordinary people get involved in supporting quite nasty things due to above factors.



Oh and in the case of Dubai the bad apples are the ruling elite that have some horrific and bizarre Sharia based laws and also treat workers from the third world like human excrement.

It gets even worse in Saudi Arabia.

Quote:

If it was solely that, then the no. of humans inhabiting this planet would be much less, if it was an endless cycle of competing for resources and superiority, don't you think?

Actually it's that endless cycle of competing for resources that has made the human race what it is today - quest for empire, for quest wealth, quest for religious converts and quest for furthering one's own group of people over others.

It all supports the notion of survival of the fittest quite well.

Sweet arm sleeves, bro. I'd arrest him just for those.

As for anti-Islam, well we've been at war with Muslims since 1993 (1st World Trade Centre bombing)

no, the intervention in the middle east had been going on before that already

True. One could go as far the Crusades or even earlier, to the Muslim invasion of Spain. They managed to foray as north as near Tours in France in 732 AD.
