Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
And Keith, in case there is any doubt as to where I stood before trying to discuss the theory in this thread and finding it impossible with your using of selected experts, avoiding direct answers, etc.. I will refer back to the Bin Laden thread where you were accused of being racist:

Would you let such an accusation pass?

In fairness, Keith, while I disagree with you on just about everything else in this thread, I would have to answer no [to being accused of racism for comments in the Muslim prejudice thread]to that.

For the record, I think that one can be treading a fine line in a thread like that other one but I felt you were on the right side of that line.

Personally, I think if there is a statistical anomaly, it should be investigated although in this case, my personal feeling is that more detailed analysis to confirm or reject the initial finding was required.

As such I might be inclined to find you guilty of jumping on the side of one interpretation rather quickly and heavily but racist, I for one do not think so.


You've certainly changed my opinion from that point!
