A LOT of things get circulated in e-mails. You can't believe everything that you read.

I hear you, Sean. In my (admittedly limited) experience, it takes a lot of studying to come to a valid viewpoint on such a subject. If it's important to you to come up with a valid viewpoint, go for it! Read all you can, and then read the sources for what you've read, and read more. Or, do what I do about 50% of the time and say the hell with it and go have a beer. ;D

I work at a large company that draws people from all walks of life. As such I happen to have a good friend who is from Egypt and also a Muslim. E-mails like this are just plain absurd. If it is forwarded to you in an e-mail chances are it is a bunch of b.s.....delete it....don't believe it.

Here is a good response to this message.

There are well over a billion people who are Muslim in the world. The extreme minority have the radical beliefs that lead people to terrorist attacks and suicide bombings.

I have a nack for offending every walk of life without trying (makes me who I am *;D).
My trade name is very close to the way your saying you feel.
One thing though, it's not prejudice if you have experiance in it. *;D ;D
