Brian, listen to yourself…..

"Islam is a religion, same as Christianity, and like Christianity it has idiotic elements who have their heads up their butts. Nothing new there, we have a few such retards too. But to say all Muslims are Islamists dedicated to radical Islam is not only wrong but its a stereotype. As I pointed out, not all Muslims have a problem with people of other religions."

"I know an Israeli who used to be a member of the IDF and he's told me that part of the reason he left the IDF was because he saw what they did to the Palestinians and couldn't stomach it."

You are perhaps arguing well Brian, but in the wrong direction! You can certainly apply your "Nothing new there, we have a few such retards too" to your ex IDF friend…. And can you be sure that you yourself are exempt of such definitions?

How can you assure me that those "idiotic elements who have their heads up their butts" do not include you too…... Especially when you know so well how many Palestinians were killed by the IDF, but you are not even trying to give a thought to the circumstances? How about the thousands of Israeli civilians deliberately murdered by the Palestinian terrorists? How about the duty to defend the rest of the Israeli population from further murderous attacks?

Or perhaps in your mind the murdering of Jews falls in a different category?

"After all they went through, they must have got used to this by now", is that what you are trying to tell us Brian?

Is Jewish blood cheaper Brian?

Who is stereotyping here? I am really curious.
