Carol,

I shall gladly respond to your questions in a thread in which they fit but I won't help you in derailing this thread. You have tried it in your first post to this thread and you did try it again now. The "I'd rather talk about something else" tactic is too obvious.

I am by far not the first in this thread to state the obvious but I have the impression it is worth repeating: If a person who happens to be Arab, Palestinian, Muslim, male, is criticised that does not mean that hatred is spread against Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims, males except for people with an implicit or explicit racist world view.
