Technically, no. Muslims are not a "race" - they're people of various races (caucasion, asian, black, VB programmers, the French) that follow the religion of Islam.
I'm astounded you know at least this much about Islam. :thumbsup:
Unlike a lot of bigoted rednecks, I prefer to know a bit about that which I ridicule. If I didn't, I'd just be a politician, or a lawyer.

Pedantic, and we all know what he means. And use the term alot. 'Religionist' is just too clumsy to contemplate. :)

Ever been to a Hooters? It looks like Jimmy Buffet puked on a Hawaiian Tropic team.

Yes, I was left notable un mirthfull by the image. I just thought it stupid racism.
============================== Nothing to say.
Nooooo. "Stupid" would be calling it "racist", but we've already gone over that.

You should prefer to know a lot.
I know enough to allow the establishment of a basis for ridicule. That's good enough. Of course, you also have to recognize the fact that I don't like anything that even remotely smells of organized religion, I don't care what said religions' beliefs might be. I think they're all nuts.

Now there lies the problem. This is a result of preconceived notions.
At least I'm man enough to stand behind my "preconceived notions" instead of trying to be a panty-waist yes-man who's afraid of offending someone simply because I don't agree with them. When given the choice between being a "world citizen" or an "individual", I'll pick "individual" every time. If that offends anyone, well then f*ck 'em.

So if a woman gets attacked by three men, you would stand back, nodding your head approvingly, satisfied that it'll be "a good learning experience" for her?

Do I? I assumed you meant what you said, which was that you don't believe in helping others.

Actually yes it is relevant, using a slang term vs the proper term is entirely more racist.

Lack of precision in speech is exactly why we (the world) have the problems we do. Nobody knows what the other is saying because everyone that's talking isn't being precise. Besides, programmers, by their very nature, are pedantic.

Thats is overly simplistic in the extreme. As always the worlds problems are driven by greed for wealth and power. As for race, lets have a closer look at the word and see if their is any historical evidence to back up your asertion that it only applies in the biological sense to the three 'races' of man, mongol, caucasian and negro. ""people of common descent," c.1500, from M.Fr. razza "race, breed, lineage," possibly from It. razza, of unknown origin (cf. Sp., Port. raza). Original senses in English included "wines with characteristic flavor" (1520), "group of people with common occupation" (c.1500), and "generation" (c.1560). Meaning "tribe, nation, or people regarded as of common stock" is from c.1600. Modern meaning of "one of the great divisions of mankind based on physical peculiarities" is from 1774 (though even among anthropologists there never has been an accepted classification of these)." So, it seems 'race' can equally be applied to muslems as to any group of people showing common characteristics. Argued and lost I am afraid Jon.:)

Anything spiced and grilled from those parts of the world tends to be fantastic. Then you have curries from Indonesia, north African dishes, the list goes on. My MIL is a Turkish Jew and possibly the world's best cook

Perhaps making racism funny eh? Using it as material for jokes? Fact is there is no lightening up when it comes to ridding the world of biggotry.

So let's just ignore it? You of all people should understand that ignoring something doesn't make it go away.
