I didn't make the world. I just live in it. Where I come from, sixate's attitude is called racism. I don't detect in your posts any argument with that conclusion - only with the wording.
You throw the word bigot about with reckless abandon, don't you?

I think sixates idea is one of the stupidest I have heard in a long time, but his anger flows from a frustration with dealing with the region, not a hatred of all the people there.

All I asked is that you be accurate, but you use words improperly, pad your statements with "I would contend", and "My contention is". My reasoning was perfectly sound, my statements were not fallacious, and you could find no answer to my question. If I am mistaken then please answer it, which ethnic group does he hate?

As for your well deserved trouncing of Mojo_PeiPeis post:

Islam has a major problem, it is being hijacked by extremist who are commiting violent acts on an increasingly frequent basis. That is not to say that every Muslim is an extremeist, far from it, but moderate Islam has either been unable or unwilling to deal with this problem to date. I challenge you to show me another religion in the world where young men are so eager to die for any cause (the roaming Mujahedin), or where God is invoked more regularly to justify killing.

What has been the predominant religion in every area we have deployed troops to for the past 10 years?

I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that Islam is becoming a thorn in the side for the western world, just as it is fair to say the the west is a thorn in the side of Islam (and has been since the crusades).

It's just not PC.
