Well yes, I'm afraid so, alanabit. I am simply amazed that a perfectly fair point made by Carol C could have generated such animosity. Clearly the reaction is based on something outside this thread and therefore amounts to prejudice in its most literal sense.

Sinsull blithely assures us that "no one on this thread is holding the Muslim religion responsible for this atrocity" and this is allowed to slide by without challenge. For those such as Sinsull who either cannot read or who turn a blind eye when convenient, here is the statement to which Carol C was responding (and yes, it's from this very thread, Sinsull): "But Islam bears some of the blame here, because Islamic religious leaders do not speak out and condemn it."

Whether Sinsull and some of the other Carol C bashers like it or not, some Islamic leaders DO condemn outrages such as the one in Somalia. And because Carol C said so, there is an immediate assumption in some quarters that she condones such outrages. Has Mudcat really sunk this low?
