Spence,
great line. I mean, you hate catholics because a priest.... sorry you told me that in confidence

Seriously, it is a great point. Many people don't make the distinction. Muslims are fine; it's the extremist nut-jobs we should worry about.

Of course I've made the distinction.I didn't say I dislike Arabs or Middle-Easterners,I said I hate muslims(practioners of islam)...you can't be muslim without practicing islam.Islam is a way of life that doesn't include the way Americans or those that don't practice islam live.

Spend a little time actually researching the Armenian Genocide and talk to some of the survivors of the 2.5 million Armenian slain by muslims like my grand parents.

I've definitely made the distinction and don't you,Spence or anyone else EVER claim I haven't.

I'm done speaking with people who don't deal in reality.

So you're in effect blaming all Muslims past and present for the Armenian Genocide (by your stereotypes including some non-Muslims as well) and claiming you're the one dealing in reality?

Yes the World certainly hasn't given Armenians their due for the epic suffering that did indeed happen, but to hold a grudge against a billion (mostly uninvolved) people for it seems to be more than a bit aberrant.
