DON'T FORGET NEXT SATURDAY!


*As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any

woman other than
his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at

4 PM Eastern
Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house

completely naked to
help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one

hour is recommended
for this anti-terrorist effort. *


Ewww, this is nasty. Don't we have enough bigotry as it is? I really
wish people wouldn't post offensive stuff like this. But if people are
going to post this, then they are officially forfeiting any grounds to
complain when other people post their political opinions. And mine is
that Muslims aren't terrorists any more than any other group of people.
So please stop spreading stupid (and dangerous) stereotypes and
attitudes.

Nope, don't find it funny. No sense of humor about it, sorry.

Joyce, annoyed


I felt partly offended by it on behalf of my BF/DP, who's a Moroccan
Muslim living in Finland. He is really sad about the way Muslims are all
"boxed in" as terrorists. After all there are more Muslims in the world
than Christians, and if they're all supposedly terrorists, there wouldn't
be much left of the world by now...

You're right, of course. I have some Muslim friends too, who are from
India.

I suppose that during the Crusades, Middle Eastern people thought of
Christians as terrorists, even though most were no such thing.
