What I can't stand is the Hot Air

Reader comment on item: "Islam" Does Not Mean "Peace"
in response to reader comment: Our dear Angela: If you cannot stand the heat! oh well you know the rest

Submitted by Angela Class (United States), Jun 13, 2007 at 20:17

Dhimmi, you speak with such hypocrisy, your methods are transparent, and your motive is obvious.

Not only are you unnecessarily disrespectful and insulting, this isn't about the one word "Islam" for you . You just hate Muslims, and you want to justify your hatred by demonizing all Muslims so you can live with yourself. That's what this is all about.

In doing that you're no better than the Islamists who say all non-Muslims are evil. You're no better.

And by the way, you've said yourself, you're not a Muslim either. And a Dhimmi is a person of the dhimma, or "pact" or "contract," that is, the dhimmi were non-Muslims only living in Muslim lands as protected religious communities.

So that means you're probably an Arab of some kind, but not a Muslim.

So according to your own lame "rules" you shouldn't talk about Islam either.

But I understand why you would prefer that I not correct your ridiculous statements and garbled translations of what I have written in English.

I clearly describe how ignorant you are, and I do it without calling you names, in English or in Arabic. Which by the way, I certainly could.

As I have said before, your English is no better than my Arabic. And clearly I have better resources for getting the correct meaning of a word when I need it, and no monumental ego to stand in the way of that.

I don't have any personal axe to grind. My personal life will go on just the same even if you and people like you convince everyone on Earth to hate Muslims and/or Arabs, May God Forbid it.

Because you're right, I'm not an Arab or a Muslim. What I am is called being "objective" in English, and you can look that up in your English to Arabic Dictionary, because you obviously wouldn't have the faintest clue what it means.

I just don't like it when people spread disinformation. It's a disservice to anyone who reads it and it bears correction, or at least dissent.

You just want to cause other people to share your hatred, because misery loves company.

In fact, according to your own rules, you shouldn't be speaking here on this English language blog at all.

Because English isn't the language of the Arabs!

According to your childish rules, that means that you shouldn't be here practicing your broken English on me.

At any rate you are quite obviously not a native or even a fluent English speaker, and your grasp of the language is weak, either that, or you are intentionally misquoting me and taking my words out of context to serve your purposes. The former is forgivable, the latter is pathetic.

You give yourself an exception that you refuse to give others.

Hatred is like a drug for people like you, and you want to get other people hooked on it, too.

You're just so full of prejudices you literally can't think straight.

I do have one English word that I think describes you really well: hatemonger .

You won't need to look it up in an English to Arabic Dictionary, just look in the mirror.

You shame yourself.
