They are all stupid :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by JG (Australia), Oct 7, 2005 at 03:06

I dont mean that all muslims are stupid, but that criminals in general are. The Islamic terror campain and the silence of those not involved define them as criminals. The number of examples of stupidity of the Islamic fundementalists similar to the ones you mentioned would be swamped by the examples of other criminals not involved in terror activities. I guess what I am trying to say is that they are stupid because they are criminals not because they are terrorists.
If we dont keep to that point we run the risk of defining all muslims as stupid, and I dont think any of us want to go there ...
