See, this is what im talking about, you read ONE article about ONE group of muslims in ONE incident and now they're all bad? You dont think there is anything flawed about that way of thinking?
Yet one example of one person doing one thing in one incident is supposed to be enough to make us think the opposite?
Interesting.

I think, on balance, the more rational conclusion might be to combine both examples and reason that an assumption cannot be made either way on the basis of religion. Which I think is the point of this topic, unless I'm mistaken of course.
Peace.

I don't know why as I try not to be cynical and I may very well be wrong but this whole news piece reeks of propaganda for pro-muslim purposes. I am a far cry from being anti-muslim but I just for some reason can't swallow this story.edit on 9-23-2012 by Flint2011 because: Can't spell

If that is the case then it may be valid for it's time of occurrence but being a source of information in the current could be deemed fodder for propaganda. Thanks for the response and information. The aspect about the man being a Muslim should be of no concern in my view.
The idea here is to suggest that someone's religion neither makes them bad to the bone or as good as a saint. People are starting to ignorantly paint with a broad brush and it needs to be stopped.
