Woah, sincerely shocked at the generalisation and finger pointing in this thread. Quite distasteful. Every single member of this forum was in a religion that prayed for the end of the world and death of everyone in it. We accepted the bible verses that told us our god condoned the slaughter of whole nations. We said yes to shunning our own family and considering them dead if necessary.
"Backward culture, primitive, illiterate and easily manipulated by the clergy.
Its tragic, Golda Meir pegged it 40 years ago- they love killing each other more than they love their children."
They had world libraries whilst the uk had scavengers living in mud huts and the USA was at its most intelligent. They had trigonometry, astronomy and math cracked thousands of years before abraham had the itch in his pants that became the jewish nation. They worked out the circumfrance of the earth while we were still ignorant to table manners or tables...
Backward? primitive? easily manipulated? they are not!.. While we are bombing countries (backward and primitive) that not one 9/11 terrorist came from, in response to WMD that didn't exist (easily manipulated)... They watch their babies die and we have the gall to ask "why so touchy?"
As For the comment they love killing each other more than their children, not only is this the most disgusting thing I have read on here, it is being said by a person that would have once denied blood even to a child, this is killing too, and you would have been praised for doing it! Most Muslims are very nice and peaceable, very educated and committed to their beliefs. Depending on their origins, their culture is usually old and fascinating.
They happen to be in another false religion, that is all.
Also for the embarassingly ignorrant amongst us.....Muslim is not the religion, Islam is....and Islam and Arabs are two different things. When you say "their culture" you are being quite...... Erm.... Backward and primitive!
