I think that the name of this thread is beyond silly. I think it is very disturbing, very negative, and very demeaning to Muslims as a group and to 'Catters as a group.

This does not mean that I believe that all 'Catters or most Catters accept that depiction of Muslims or the Muslim religion, or even think the question is a valid one for consideration. However, IMHO, for this question to even be raised in this manner does not speak well of us.

I'm wondering has there been a comparable thread titled "Are Christians Rubbish?" or "Are Jews Rubbish?"

Given the fact that there is currently rampant fear and bigotry against Muslims, to initiate such a discussion now plays into the hands of those who are just looking for an opening to spead their particular brand of poison.

I regret that this thread provides such an opportunity.

PS:

Since some people may question my religious affiliation because they are unfamiliar with my Swahili name {which is similar to an Arabic name}, let me state for the record that I'm not Muslim and have never been Muslim. However, I do know good people of various races who are Muslim.
