Muslims are bad people, that's all I know.

I live in America, and i see more terrorism here than in the middle east.
Yes, whenever i see a Muslim always think of a martyr' Islamic terrorist, but i know that that chances are they are just a peaceful Muslim.

Then stop acting like you don't.

Stop generalizing you dumb fuck. Do you know who was the most vocal supporter on this board of Gaza back in December and January? Me. Do you know who was the most vocal supporter on this board of the Iranian people after those elections? Me.

Not all Americans think the Middle East is filled with terrorists. In fact, I am sure a majority of them don't. There are racist people and those people are louder than us non-racists, but that doesn't mean there are more racists.

I am sick of your self-pitying bullshit. You can live in your crap-ass "all americans hate us" world if it makes you feel better but it is a load of shit.

NT, I find it interesting that you think that MOST Americans think that MOST middle-easterners are terrorists.

"How DARE Americans generalize the middle-east!"

I won't try to deny it, although I haven't actually said anything along those lines for about three months. I was very careful not to say anything about average or below average Americans; only that Dragon was above - a fact which I have dicerned from other threads.

Relevantly, yes, most Americans probably accept that most Arabs are not terrorists. Just some of the stupid ones don't, and they're the ones we notice. Observe, if you will, this Bill Bailey stand up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO5dD0DjW0I . He doesn't pick on any of the shows that have their facts straight because they're not so fun. I would be prepared to maintain that there are more Americans that think this way than, say, Syrians, but I have no good statistics to hand.

This is honestly what I think of when the term "middle eastern" is tossed into the fray.

I know what's wrong.. he isn't technically middle eastern... he's Indian. I don't care though, this is what I picture.

Middle Easterners are always terrorists.

No exceptions.

Hahahaha...


.... yeah sometimes. Who isn't though?

...although technically I'm not a bigot. I think everyone is racist to an extent, it's just a matter of how racist exactly.

All of the middle easterners I've met have been abnormally friendly, like Apu, which is why I think of him.

I hope this is satire, but I've seen crazier things.

All Middle Easterners are terrorists. This is a FACT. It is not an opinion, an assumption, or whatever you mother****ers say. It's a fact.

****ing terrorists.

All middle easterners, without exception, are terrorists. Al Kydah and Yassa Arabfat want to wipe all us good folk of the earth with their satanic jihad.

Personally, I thank the lord that I was born in the greatest country on earth, America.

Now let's go kill us some endangered bear, boy howdy.
