"Pre judice" means "before judicial". Often used to describe a decision being made about an individual before that individual person's character, actions and intentions have been revealed. So, for example, meeting a Negro and breaking into Ebonics to communicate with them would be prejudice. Though if they were dressed a certain way and behaved a certain way, one could reasonably guess that the lingo would work. <you can try to make the small number of radicals in the Islamic world > Those guys are super turbo charged if their numbers are so small. They are creating carnage around the world. What do you think Salman Rushdie's chances of walking unprotected around any Islamic city and coming out alive or unmaimed would be? Your idea of the proportions is way off beam. Your 2% is certainly doing a LOT of carnage in Iraq <I imagine the number of actual throat slitters is probably less than 2% of the population (if that- I'm guessing high). You can generalize with statistics on your side, but your trying to defend prejudice untethered from the reality you claim you observe, but obviously don't. Reality includes all the people NOT doing criminal acts, as well as the few that do. > And they are doing it against a hugely powerful USA. In fact, polls show it's about 20% in the UK like to see some carnage like the bombings. You are dealing in more of your fiction with your 2%. Hamas WON the election. You are ignoring reality, preferring your fantasies. Maybe you should read less fiction and history [which has all finished or is just silly imaginary games], and catch up with what is actually happening in the here and now and coming down the pike.
