Have some respect guys......

Need a coloring book?
No Kath, I don't feel personally violated at all, no colouring book required.
My point is that there are plenty of threads already available for Muslim bashing and I see no point in using this clearly defined RIP thread as well.
To be honest I wish there were some Muslim members here so I didn't feel quite so obliged to point out the bigotry when I see it. However if completely unrelated threads are going to be used for taking cheap shots like happened here it seems very unlikely that any Muslims are going to join and stick around for long enough to give their opinion.
I mean if I were to make a statement about all Jews or blacks based on the actions of a small minority of "their kind" I would expect to be pulled up on it pretty quickly but Muslim bashing seems perfectly acceptable around here. Shame if that is the case, it would be better IMO to be part of a more balanced forum where open debate rather than cheap shots and point scoring were the norm on this delicate subject.
