Dhimmi no more, why so angry

Dhimmi Why such anger? Do you, like the other commenter named Plato, have a grudge against ALL Muslims? Perhaps I am not a native Arabic speaker like you. However, I have enough common sense in me to understand that learning is a life-long skill. I also know that conversations cannot be had if such disgust is displayed in dialog. It just seems that human ego is always going to be the stumbling block to progress and peace. Suffice it to say, I am no exception and neither are you. However, I know that I am able to put my ego away and try to understand why there is such hatred towards a text. Are you? If the conversation is to be dominated by words glazed in animosity, no one will ever benefit.
