I'd more likely assume a girl in a burka is muslim, but not by arabic race. Maybe you guys are more tolerant toward the coast. I seem to face a lot more intolerance toward KKK country where i live. I'm glad the world isn't as cynacal as I assumed.

they ain't to fond of idolaters like Hindu and Zoroastiranism either even though those religions predate there own in that community.

Of course if your not a buddhist in some countrys your considered stupid.

In america I think people think you are either christian, athiest, or tard. And though i agree when they refer to raelians and scientologists it is very ethnocentric of us to be so judgemental. Lord knows we have some pretty judgemental christians and athiests in this country. It seems the most tolerant people are the ones who seek to be tolerated themselves.

The best book for illuminating what’s going on in the Muslim “street” isn’t some weighty treatise on Islam; it’s a short little tract called White Guilt by Shelby Steele. The book isn’t even about Islam. Steele focuses on white liberals and the black radicals who’ve been gaming them ever since the 1960s. Whites, he argues, have internalized their own demonization. Deep down they fear that maybe they are imperialistic, racist bastards, and they are desperate to prove otherwise. In America, black radicals figured this out a while ago and have been dunning liberal whites ever since.

The West is caught in a similarly dysfunctional cycle of extortion and intimidation with Islam, but on a grander and far more violent scale. Whether it’s the pope’s comments or some Danish cartoons, self-appointed spokesmen for the Islamic street say, “You have offended a billion Muslims,” which really means, “There are so many of us, you should watch out.” And if you didn’t get the message, just look around for the burning embassies and murdered infidels. They’re not hard to find.

In response, the West apologizes and apologizes. Radical Muslims, who are not stupid, take note and become emboldened by these displays of weakness and capitulation. And the next time, they demand two pounds of flesh. Meanwhile, the entire global conversation starts from the assumption that the West is doing something wrong by tolerating freedom of speech, among other things.

Attitudes towards other religions in the Middle East

Would anyone agree that this is true? Jonah Goldberg said it.

"Today, throughout the Muslim world, Jew-hatred and Christian-bashing are commonplace, state-sanctioned and fashionable."
