Oh, thanks a lot for choosing to say nothing because you have nothing sensible to say.
 
Hmm that is your opinion... she has lots to say that is sensible... now you on the other hand... well... considering you've never been here.. its like I keep my mouth shut when discussing India much, never been there, can go on what I read, but how accurate is  anything anymore.. you of course, know about everyone.. all over the world..  like discussing African - Americans... how many do you know?? Now many African- Amricans are 'illiterate' and would be the first to tell you how AIDS is transmitted.. they are not dumb people.  UGGH  You are operating in stereotpes abound...

What do you think about the link below
http://www.aegis.org/news/dmg/2004/MG040413.html

"Here in India illiterate people don't use soap and toothpastes. They don't know smoking and drinking is injurious to health."

or:

"Rich Muslims are certainly getting decadent and immoral"

Since when did rich Muslims and itlliterate Indians become a race?
 
You know, if you choose to denigrate people, whether it is their race, their intelligence, their morality, it's up to you.
In the west we have a saying: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
At this point I choose to say nothing at all........

"Hey, you forgot to mention that I also said Westerners are promiscuous and drunkards.
Besides, you should, at least, take care to quote me accurately even when you do it out of context. "
 
Sorry, thought I was fairly accurate. Which statement are you questioning?
 
Perhaps:
 
"Even in US AIDS is more prevalent amongst Blacks because many of them are not adequately educated."
 
or maybe:
 
"Here in India illiterate people don't use soap and toothpastes. They don't know smoking and drinking is injurious to health."

or:

"Rich Muslims are certainly getting decadent and immoral"

I can go on....

I wonder how all of the above observations fit in with the "Muslims are NOT racists" topic you started? Perhaps it should have been "Some Muslims are NOT racists". 
 
But you should be proud, you form an opinion about large groups of people, and you are not afraid to voice it...

I haven't been out of India, but I have interacted with many foreigners and Indians, who have been out of India, in person. I have also chatted with many people from around the world on IRC.

Candid, have you ever been out of India? Just curious.. as Mark Twain once said " be careful of health magazines you may die of a misprint"

be careful about what you read..

HAHAHAHA. So, by your logic, Muslims should all be illiterate because Prophet (SAWS) was also illiterate. And also ride camels. [IMG]smileys/smiley4.gif" align="middle" /> [IMG]smileys/smiley4.gif" align="middle" /> [IMG]smileys/smiley4.gif" align="middle" />

I'm not the one stereotyping here.

Candid's greatest hits:

illiterate people are dirty

�

black people are uneducated

�

westerners are overly materialistic, decadent,�immoral,�and believe religion to be a burden

�

rich Muslims are decadent and immoral

�

Israel and America are evil

�

Pakistanis "Majority of the people are illiterate. They have limited access to information and hence, they can't think for themselves."

�

Indians are hypocrits, filthy,�and fascists

�

European women are selfish and materialistic

�

Hey, you forgot to mention that I also said Westerners are promiscuous and drunkards.
