They have good looks and robust health for the most part

The first part is subjective and the second part is not true.

From the 38 countries I could identify quickly as Moslem in Grolier's Encyclopedia:

Male life expectancy averages 60.3 years (Low of 41 in Ethiopia, High of 73 in UAR and Libya, median of 59.7)

Female life expectancy averages 63.9 years (Low of 42 in Ethiopia, High of 77 in Libya, median of 67.6)

Infant mortality rate per 1,000 averages 62.6 (Low of 3.4 in Brunei, High of 150 in Afghanistan, median of 48.9).

The U.S. logs in at 72.9, 79.7 and 6.3, respectively.

As for the food, that is subjective, also. (Not to my taste; but a lot of foods aren't).

Are you serious about ebay? Did 2 Pakistanis invent ebay while living under the social, economic and "religious" constraints of Pakistan or while living here? Besides, 2 Pakistanis don't a culture make.

It's sweet of you to try so desperately to find something nice to say about Moslems; but don't turn your back on them when you're saying it.

Ethiopia is not an Islamic country, but to be fair your statistics probably date from before its onetime unification with neighboring Eritrea, which IS Islamic, had come unstuck.

My sister who is a specialist in middle eastern affairs told me about ebay. I believe it was here in the US. I tried and tried to search on Google and find out more about it and can't find anything about the history of ebay or its development. If I find out more, I'll try to let you know.

As to being stabbed in the back, I'm not going to worry about it. I don't even know any muslims.

The only muslim I ever knew or knew was a muslim who had the most beautiful coat I ever saw. It was white sheepskin. How I coveted that coat! Better mind my own sins, no?
