As was stated earlier, when some christian nut bombs an abortion clinic, the majority of christians will condemn the act and seek the bombers punishment. This is not how things are done in the muslim community, where terrorism is supported.
And how this is bigotry is beyond me. I think YOU might have problem, why would you automatically assume that by muslim I ment arab? There are muslims across the globe contributing to terrorism, it's actually kinda refreshing to see something bring people of so many backgrounds together.

Isn't that implying rather strongly that Bin Laden's religion made him a bastard?
To suggest that those that follow Islam are bastards because they do is ludicrous. Or because they don't condemn their extremists
as you would like. That is flat out bigotry against a huge % of the worlds population.
I did not title this thread, and I believe Host answered that issue. As for your last paragraph above, I'm not sure what you are suggesting beyond that I have a problem. Not sure how asking about
your statements means
I have a problem.
But I guess you are clearing up any confusion I might have about things.
