i wasn't even saying you are racist, if anything in that thread I seem completely sexist. I'm sorry if you take it as an insult but I was just saying that i got offended far too easily and went on arguing for pages for something someone was just joking about...

Okay, I'll buy that. I personally didn't have a problem with you being overly sensitive and arguing for pages. I was more concerned that you were defending something that you seemed to agree was wrong. Sure you don't want us to blanket our criticism of the Middle East with harsh words for your religion in general, but you're doing a great diservice to your religion by pretending there's no relation between the two, instead of confronting it head on. I'm sure it feels shitty to know that off base comments that strike you as out of line have even a tiny basis in truth. If the largest public presence of Islam is what you believe to be a corruption of the quran, then you can't blame outsiders for this perception, you have to blame those who chose this message to take to the world in the name of the muslim religion.
More then coming off misogynist, you came off well meaning, but a little ill informed, and mislead.
