Perhaps these people in India are more interested in the struggle to purchase food than soap and toothpaste. Let's see, brush my teeth, feed my starving baby....... hmmmmmmmmmm


Apparently you have never been to Europe where the literacy rates are very high and lack of oral hygiene runs rampant. You might also be surprised at how many highly educated people live in complete filth.

In fact, living in filth is so prevalent among the highly educated there are TV programs dedicated to showing just how filthy they are. Please see:


<SPAN =mw-line>Foreign versions</SPAN>

<SPAN =mw-line></SPAN>�


<SPAN =mw-line></SPAN>�



Notice that there are versions in all of these "high literacy rate" countries:


<SPAN =mw-line>Foreign versions</SPAN>



Please spare me your lunacy. It's not my job to educate you. But, I hope this helps.

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.
Besides, you should, at least, take care to quote me accurately even when you do it out of context.

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..


When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

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.

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

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...

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........

Oh, thanks a lot for choosing to say nothing because you have nothing sensible to say.
