Thread Name: Are you scared of planes now?
Subject: RE: Are you scared of planes now?
Well, Murray, my point was, judging by your entries on this thread and on some previous threads (mostly recent ones), what would be "self evident" is that you are a racist or an anti-Semite. And, no, I don't necessarily think you ARE a racist or anti-Semite. I'd like to think that you're just a guy with a narrow view of Islam who likes shooting off his mouth...

But what are the things that might make someone think that you ARE a racist, you might be heard to ask? (Though I didn't hear you ask...) Your links to anti-Islamic websites, and comments supporting a horribly racist conservative editorial, for starters. Ah, and these statements:

1. "The probability of any hijacker being of any other ethnic background other than Middle Eastern is zero. Therefore I would propose that ALL passengers of Middle Eastern background should be subjected to special security treatment, yes, discriminatory treatment while on board an airliner. They should have to check in well in advance, undergo thorough body searches, and should be confined to one area of the airplane under constant supervision. Like having to piss with the door open."

2. "I have to confess to having a deep, deep dislike of Islam based on my experience of meeting many of the members of the so-called "Royal Family" of Saudi Arabia..."

So... you said yourself on a recent thread that you're not afraid of being labelled a racist. But if your are NOT a racist, how do you justify these statements? (Which of course you don't have to, but I can ask:)
