Okay already Carol I'll bite!

Why (why EXACTLY) did you ask the question: "What do you consider to be particularly 'Islamic' about the name - 'Saad Khalid', C-Ham?"

C-Ham never said that name - YOU picked it out of a list for, I assume, a specific and logical purpose and, after picking that name, you then needed to ask a question that was ONLY a question.


You know what else? I'll bet most of those marines in Haditha were WASP yankees just as I am. I'll bet you wouldn't mind me making that assumption and carrying on a conversation on that basis. Things are what they are. It may suck for Arab Muslims that some Arab Muslims kill innocent defenseless children, just as it sucks for me that some WASP yankees kill innocent defenseless children. It's fine to be alert for hidden bias in one's own thinking, but still, things are what they are!
