THis thread could have been a very good discussion, were it not so full of misinformed fanatics, screaming their beliefs and rationality. It is quite insane to belittle the opinions and views of those few that have expressed it here. These few are individuals who have first hand understanding of the issues at hand. I think all of you, if you have any interest in learning anything useful, go back a few pages, and load the page with the discussion on arabic TV. There are some VERY good points brought up. Insofar, this thread has been 8 pages of ranting. And that's fine too. However, we really should respect, or at least be so intelligent as to CONSIDER all opinions being released here. True, many of you say not to judge the religions and ways of life of Muslims and Islam based on the acts of a few. However, that statement in and of itself is quite uninformed. I have myself lived in a country that had three active, major practicing religions, and it was quite obvious which of the three were the LEAST tolerant of the others. But then again, I'm sure someone will have a rebuke to that as well. I've spoken to many colleagues at work, and in everyday situations, people that hail from these regions, and these beliefs. They all have varying opinions and thoughts, and it is the inclusive consideration of all of these that allows one to have a more complete picture. This thread has been a shining example of ignorance, and the sad part is that those screaming against ignorance are so convincingly blind of their own. I won't express my own feelings as to the subject matter, as I feel it won't get anywhere, and there is nary few people in this thread who would be able to discuss it in a civilised and well thought out manner. Suffice it to say that this thread really should be closed, lest it be filled up with 8 more pages of childish ranting. Yes, this is a rant too.
Abercrombie, very good points.
