Thanks Tim! Until your emails I didn't realize that I needed to reexamine my beliefs. Praise be to allah for you giving me that opportunity! -xenlab P.S. - Please take the discussion off list. A couple of "Hope everyone's OK in London" emails should be considered fair game on a list with a high percentage of Brits and Europeans. However, this pissing match between you and theREALmxyzptlk is growing tired for the rest of us. I disagree with points both of you made, but also didn't feel like my intellectual ego and it's integrity was tied to having others espouse my beliefs, whether factual or not.

PS - I have not been bigoted. I have stated facts. No one has asked for any backup of those facts, just proclaimed what an idiot I am. I am NOT a "Randroid" - I am a rational man. You have offered no evidence to indicate that you should be considered likewise. How typing with my feet in my mouth should be difficult, I'm not sure, but let's just say that reality will be the final arbiter in this discussion of who's idiotic and who's not - and don't forget that Islamism is a part of that reality.
PPS - While I realize that this sort of political/philosophical discussion tends to annoy the list, the original posts on the London events (which, apparently, ARE ok on the Orb list, just not after someone makes unpopular remarks against the general hippie sensibilities (or lack thereof)) contained remarks that needed refutation. It is also my hope that perhaps one or two of you might actually be caused to question your beliefs/reexamine the facts (of which appallingly little has occurred, even after the events of 9/11).

Your bigotry was also unsolicited. And you haven't stated anything rational or factual, nor dealt with the substance of any criticism laid at your feet, other than to rant that you are correct. Randroids always think they 'understand philosophy'. Pathetic. It might be a good idea to quit while you're behind. How you can type with your feet in your mouth is an anomaly.

Bigotry and rational assessment of facts are two entirely different things. Your "clarification" was unsolicited.
