Title: moderate Muslims demonstrate in Luton
Post by: Richard Hakluyt on May 30, 2009, 03:24:38 AM
A story about Muslims that I enjoyed reading :

Well done mainstream Muslim dudes  :cool:

This gesture has probably done more for their relations with the rest of society than any number of governmental diktats concerning tolerance.

I hope they keep it up, let the rest of us know how much they hate their religion being hijacked and misused by hateful wankers.

One would hope white people would know better.  A religion that encourages you to grow pubes on your face : :thumbsdown:

:(

I know you are trolling, but Lebanese people are pretty white.

On an anecdotal level I've worked with Kashmiris in London and about half of them had paler skin than me (though they did have black hair and dark brown eyes so looked darker to a casual observer); also, in the middle Atlas, there were a number of berbers with paler skin and blue eyes.

And Pashtuns are often lighter skinned than Kashmiris.  The idea that everyone from Morocco to Lahore looks like Ahmedinejad, while people beyond that look like Gandhi, is very silly.

Counter example:

I was standing in line at Frankfurt Airport when I saw a couple, probably in their 60s.  Guy had a long beard and a head turban, woman was wearing a pantsuit but also wearing a small turban covering her hair.

They had out their American passports, spoke with American accents, and were very, very white.

He might just be a white muslim.

You'd think garbon would know better, coming from a race that grows pubes on their head.

If they were wearing Turbans they were probably white Sikhs.

Maybe they weren't white, just sikh-ly looking.
