Actually, no. Ignorance is when you choose to remain uneducated. You’ve decided that all Muslims are bad people even in the face of contrary evidence. I don’t think you watched the show in question, though even if you did it you’d only view it as reinforcement of your prejudice. I suspect you don’t know any Muslims and that you’re quite happy with that. This seems to really fit any definition of ignorance I’ve seen, and this is being kind.

First of all let me add here that if your "sign up" date at FR is 2005 or later, I usually don't waste my time responding.
Too many clever trolls and outright muslim agents with varying control of the English language pop up constantly.
Not only have I watched the two episodes of the humorous All-American Muslim, but I am planning to watch episode 3, A Muslim Goes to Washington, Sunday evening.
Know your enemy.
Ignorance is not so dangerous as outright propaganda. I have studied islam seriously since atound 1960. How about your propaganda training. How old is that?

And those are just the books I have readily at hand. I have at least twice that number of books not readily at hand.
Can you share your list of historical non-fiction? For a non-idiot, you must easily outclass me.
As for muslim friends, I will state without the slightest apology that I have none, nor do I wish to have any.
About 40 years ago, I had several, some quite close friends. The one who stands out in my mind was a surgeon. I am an engineer, sort of a kindred professional. We socialized for a number of years until the day that the conversation accidentally turned to religion and culture. Hamsa was his name and he had two children.
To say there was a dramatic Jekyl-Hyde transformation is an understatement. I left his huge luxurious house soon after and have never seen him again.
As for being uninformed, the best yardstick of cultural behavior is how you act, not what you say or how much Bullshit you can spout, or how serious a bluster you can raise.
Educate me.
Rebut the thousand item list of muslim atrocities worldwide just since 911.
And explain these recent news items :
An All-American Muslim couple in Buffalo NY—the wife had a great idea, start a network called Bridges TV that would show the positive side of Muslims and counter-effect the image we got after 9/11. It would be great to talk to this woman only she isn’t around anymore.
Her husband beheaded her.
Murdering Muslims - November 2011
Good luck and have a nice evening.
Another quite realistic possibility is that you are deceived and the poster you are replying to is more enlightened and wise.
