Sounds like you should change your rant to Arabs instead of Muslims. Not much of your complaints apply to the Muslims of Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, or Dearborn, Michigan.

>Bullshit. Muslims own the lion's share of one of the world's most precious commodities. They have had every opportunity to be world leaders. Instead, they wallow in poverty on average and try to bring down civilization with their madness. You ever spoken to a right-wing religious Israeli settler? >Excuses offered for their behavior only spurs them on to greater acts of madness. Who's offering excuses? I'm simply saying that their behavior is not exclusive to their culture. -Z

"Someone has to stand up and say what is on everyone else's mind." (General) Projection Here projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly – according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious. Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism. The following are given as examples: 1. Individual A assumes that B sees the colour red as he does, until informed that B is colour-blind; 2. Someone who never lies is easy to deceive because he projects his truthfulness onto others, assuming that others are honest also; 3. ‘It takes one to know one’; 4. An inept con-man fears that others are trying to cheat him, signals his fear and alerts others; 5. (Freudian) An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as a protagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way.
