What makes Muslims in Bombay so sensitive

Post #56,651 by Arkadiy 10/14/02 12:17:43 PM Reply	What makes Muslims in Bombay so sensitive to that nutcase? When some sheikh calls all Americans killers by burth, I do not see any riots in Stamford. It's free country, one can spew any nonsence at any time... Now, if those people are looking for an excuse to do a little rioting over the weekend... Mr Foulwell may come in handy. We have only 2 things to worry about: That things will never get back to normal, and that they already have.

From such a mindset - remember the fatwa on Rushdie et al - this is a pre-civilized milieu: 'God Speaks' directly from some honcho in robes. So.. if words are a potentially lethal offense? QED. (Now as to why Kill All because of one fatwa-candidate Yahoo?) Why is that any more absurd than most ovine xenophobic behaviour anywhere - as say, kill a fag,Commie,heathen for Christ ? We have plenty of Muricans with black/white digital-think mindsets and equally bloody ones too, no? Ashton we shall always have the Disgusting amongst us

Clearly it is not merely Muricans who have trouble separating the particular and the general. I guess it's worldwide-Dumbth. {ugh} A.
