You complain about the hate, practised by some Muslims against the "Western World". And to show them, how to forget hate and intolerance you equate yourself with them. Congratulation.

You think that a wry observation about stupidity is hate?
Let me tell you - hate is when you are stupid enough to blow yourself up in the hope that you might kill people you hate.
Political correctness is nothing more than an all out assault on freedom of speech disguised as a worthy social objective.

No, but the observation I commented on was not wry. I would describe it as cynical, but call it as you are comfortable with, I define hate (even if it is cold hate) as the constant wish to hurt someone.

.....and also if you are intelligent enough to know it better and hurt someone with words.

I can't see the good in freedom of speech, if it is used to hurt a human being.

Do you think my question at the top was one of stupidity? The Christians believe that a true Christian is one that attemps to apply godly principles to every area of life. Realizing this, I do not think my question was so unreasonable Smile

How to be a good follower of Islam. From what I saw in my 2 yrs. in a muslim country to be a follower of Islam you should; hit and/or abuse women, hate white/western people, search for s-x every waking minute (any kind of s-x seems to be ok, animals, homo, grandmothers,...etc.) teach hatred, and then after you did all the above, blow yourself up with a lot of innocent people and expect to go to heaven.....(man, what a big surprise they have waiting for them!). That is a follower of Islam!

What is that?
If you believe on God, ask him for forgiveness.

Yes, I am cynical about a religion whose adherents blow themselves up in schools and buses full of children; who kill athletes at the Olympic games, who fly airplanes full of innocent people into office towers full of innocent people, and do it all in the name of Islam.
If I may quote the Bible without setting off a fatwa, "By their deeds shall ye know them."
