Does the average Muslim you meet on the street every day do that?
Does the average Muslim on the street speak out in disgust? All my experiences resort to an odd silence in the matter.
How is that different from the silence I get from Jews and Christians about the stoning of bratty kids and non-virginal brides?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

Odd that, never been met with silence. In fact, they very clearly and openly state that it's no longer applicable, even if they do so poorly. Muslims never state as such.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

I'm trying not to make any bold and offensive generalising claim about the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the average person, but in my experience of communicating with many people throughout the years, I can only deduce that they're severely lacking in the cognitive department. Take for example the average Christian fundamentalist: almost all of them seem to have trouble understanding even the most basic tenants of western science, literature, music and cohesion.

Of course, there's millions of very smart people in the world. but almost every conversation I've initiated has resulted in disdain.


Forgive me, but I'm not going to pretend someone possesses a levelheaded degree of intelligence after hearing them inform me that sperm is produced by the spine. It doesn't matter how liberal I may be, I simply can't reconcile it with the perception that everyone is 'equal'.

Most people are stupid.
That's so stupidist! I can't believe you're so anti-stupid. Stupidity's not a choice, people are born that way or made that way by their upbringing. I'm so shocked how much you seem to hate stupid people. :nono:
