THAT shows YOUR mindset. Denial ain't just a river...[/i] For the moment let's set aside the fact that my use of the term "some" was utterly appropriate and correct. If you write a post that seems simply angry and overbearing using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS as though the LARGER YOUR WORDS the MORE CORRECT you are then I'm probably not going to respect your advanced age and education as much as you feel is due to you. Not that I would care all that much about an individuals age or education in the first place. I have tried and will try to be civil to you, but that does not mean I have to take your opinion seriously. I don't know if in grade school a Muslim kid stole lunch money or what, but for whatever reason you seem to have an angry fixation on Islam and Muslims. A fixation which causes you to, for example, sees "secret Muslims" on this board and somewhat outlandish conspiracies in real life. I would advise you to take a more level headed and analytical approach to world events rather than maintaining a conspiratorial gestalt. Perhaps you could be more specific as to what I need to get "sorted out". I'll listen to your criticisms but I cannot promise I'll honor them. Naturally I have numerous personal flaws, but you'll have to have to excuse me if I consult other sources for personal advice.

My point in making that comment was that while I was addressing a GLOBAL problem among Muslims by saying "all over the world", you chose to whitewash this by using the phrase "some Muslims" as if it's some random, tiny minority. I can't teach you literary critique and comprehension skills, Hassan. That's not what I'm here for. And I don't think my so-called "fixation" (a term I consider so laughable I won't bother being offended by it) with Islam is any broader than any member of PM's "fixation" on liberals, pro-abortionists, or any number of topics posters here deem of great import in the world today. But then again, I've made this comparison before. P.S. You're a funny one to accuse anyone else of being "fixated on Islam and Muslims".

If you, for whatever reason, make the additional assumption that by some I was making a statement implying a regional phenomena rather than a global one I can't really help that. I'll let others decide who needs tutoring in "literary critique" (although with all due respect I'm not sure I'd consider your post literature) and "comprehension skills" I would like an explanation as to your rather bizarre objection to the idea that Islam should be treated fairly.

You're proving my point exactly. But I don't expect you to even understand that you are. [quote]I would like an explanation as to your rather bizarre objection to the idea that Islam should be treated fairly.[/quote] First of all, I never said I objected to Islam being treated fairly. In fact, I made no comment at all (reference my previous note about your failure to comprehend the statements of others) about how Islam should be portrayed. I simply commented that Muslims portray Islam quite well on their own. Secondly, explanations are not owed to you. Your comment "I would like an explanation" is arrogant at best.
