Without wishing to fall foul of Godwin's law, let me just say that some of these posts remind me of Dr. Strangelove. It's quite possible that we would do the same, if we'd been brought up in a primitive, superstitious, bigoted society which promoted the idea that Westerners are evil godless heathen scum. That doesn't justify it, of course. But my liberal sixth sense was tingling a little...
I'm never racist. I'm very racial tolorant. It's the religion, the beliefs and the harmful actions that I hate. Muslims who think it's ok to take lives all bacause of some belief they hold to. Never should religious beliefs play any role but that of personal delusion. Religion should never be involved in decision making or in any action. These muslims who may have been brought up in a society whos laws were made without reason but religious belief. These muslims who have been brought up to believe that killing oneself and others grants you an endless blissful paradise. Despite their up bringing, I still blame them for their actions. For at anytime that could have tried to use their brain. How society brings them up does play a fital role and so they share the disgrace. I blame both.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
