I think the above proves that you do not have the slightest notion of how MOST people feel about Muslims - which is pretty neutral. Which is the same way that most people think about most other races, colours, religions,...................
I think you need to accept a couple of things about this forum and, dare I say it, life in general;
- there are some knobs about everywhere. There are maybe four on here who have a tendency to be, shall we say, a little 'non pc' about a number of things from race to gender to sexuality. I doubt they would cause anyone any harm but get carried away, rightly or wrongly, in the sanctity of a male dominated web forum. In reality you or I would probably be pleasantly surprised if you spent a couple of hours in the pub with them - in fact i have met one of the four and he is a total pussycat:-0)
- while standing up for your beliefs is an admirable quality, stirring it up will achieve nothing. While the pen is mightier than the sword, if you expect consistent rational comment/argument you will not find it on a bikerist forum
- as I have stated before, personally i have had some sympathy for your comments about the postings made by others on this forum, Unfortunately that sympathy is disappearing rapidly as you do not appear to present a balanced argument and recoil into aimless diatribe when challenged
By the way, the Nazis came to power as a result of a) extreme economic conditions in Germany following a totally unsatisfactory resolution to WW1 and b) an extremely charismatic leader (unfortunately he was also a total lunatic) being in the right (wrong?) place at the right (wrong) time who was able to fool most of the people most of the time during a period of national turmoil.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely correct, Andy. One of the key things I learned in management training was to be magnanimous in victory. Push peeps into a corner and they will bite. In an industrial dispute both sides need something to save face at the end. Germany wasn't just beaten in WW1 they were left with no honour and no way to recover economically. Hitler concentrated on restoring their pride. He was a clever nutter.
