Here's the key:

Keep your arguments (and protests) seperate.

Saying you disagree and will object to and fight Shiara law is one thing, but resorting to ill-fitting slanderous euphamisims is not.

Since when does "Towel Head" reflect ANY political position? Really? I am sure the BILLIONS in India are all clammoring to become devout Muslim abiders and followers. It is just another lame labelling of a people that are different than what the protesters are. It is a visual association that people find easier to rant against than less apparent political leanings and beliefs.

It is a lot easier to beat up a turban-wearing man on the street than to stop him, ask him his views on Marriage and Religion, then proceed to pummel him when the first words out of his mouth are not "Well Jesus says...".

Fab, although I agree with you onwhat you are saying with the Catholic Church and how it has done wrong, and how the Islamic faith should also stand up to its own weaknesses and failings, I think the problem is how you stated it. It is NOT about Catholics in general, but the abuse of power in their ranks.

This curent xenephobic biogoted response is not well fitted. It is aimed like a sawed-off shotgun at a single man in a crowd and is completely unconcerned about who else it might hit.

Ignorance may be hereditary, but I am still trying to find out why so many are unwilling to find the cure.
