That's extremely valid. Clearly mine is not a view shared by many, no harm in that. Don't mean to get peoples backs up, I tried to go out of my way to say I wasn't demanding or insisting that it should be heeded, simply my view on it.
Like I said, a muslim playing up to the stereotype of being a bomber can be funny, but misinterpreted by the ignorant. I don't think its helpful, nor an icebreaker in that specific instance.
