actually, i don't think americans are cowards and bullies, i do however think that of a fair few of the morons on this site who constantly harp on about islam at every opportunity, regardless of its relevence to the topic under discussion, and who's only remedy for anything is to send other people - never themselves - off to sunny parts the world to lay waste to areas of the world they consider to be nestbeds of islamic terrorism.
it is difficult to take seriously the opinions of people who publicly think that:
a) sri lanka is a muslim country - as we were told many times on the various tsunami threads.
b) that surrey is in northern england - see the UK board for details.
c) that tsunamis are gods way of killing homosexuals and paedeophiles (perhaps god doesn't know where maida vale, los angeles and new yorks' village are?)
d) that europe is being overun with muslims who can't read but who somehow will rule us all and impose sharia law despite only being about 3% of the population.
ignorance is very boring, but hugely irritating from those who profess to know our own country better than we do.
and i'm not a proffessor, i'm a senior lecturer - you may hand out that title with $99 internet PhD's, we however don't.
We will pray for your students, they need it.
PS. Surrey is in Oklahoma!
For future reference please remember that, lecturing is like drilling for oil...if you haven't struck something interesting after 15 mins. Stop boring!
Then why did you say it?
"It helps that that group of people (Muslims) is among the poorest, least educated and most disenfranchised and oppressed people on the planet - they can't fight back. try it with europeans and their (U.S.) cities would turn to glass craters and their fields would be full of the dead - but they don't because like all bullies, they are cowards."
Try again, rogermellie.
