Dear Noah Wilk,

you wrote a brilliant comment !

> Because regardless of whether the fool or the wise man thinks first, at least both think. Muslims cannot think for themselves either before or after they speak. They can only parrot what they've been brainwashed to repeat, like violent little parrots. So even a fool is wiser than a Muslim!

I enjoyed it very much ! Your last sentence , however, begs a serious question :

Can a Moslem be a fool ?

As far as I can see no Moslem can say "Yes , he can " as it's theologically impossible. A Moslem holds it to be self-evident that only a kaffir can be a fool. All Moslems are wise. But Moslem wisdom has nothing to do with human intelligence. It's just a different word for foolish infantile faith they are forcibly taught to extoll and identify with intelligence. As his faith progresses a Moslem loses any remaining intelligence and creativity. He can no longer imagine a situation where he could say "Yes, I am a d... Moslem fool ! ". And it's perhaps better for him. These situations are legions.
