WHAT SOCIAL QUIRKS DARE I SPEAK OF???!?!?!
Well for one, he had an incredibly condescending attitude towards women. Just the way he treated me alone vs. me and my girlfriend or my girlfriend was astounding. I realize he is first generation American as his parents were fresh off the boat, and he is hardcore Muslim, but regardless.
There were other things, but since I'm moving forward in a highly anecdotal direction I will stop now.

Cool story bro. (Whee, I can do that too.)

There's like 1.5 billion people that practice Islam, making it the second largest practiced religion behind Christianity. And your statement is full of assumptions and "so whats?"

We're talking about the U.S. That's 0.6% as of 2008. Compared to 76% practicing Christians.
Westboro Church is covered under the First Admendment. Doesn't make what they say right. You're allowed to bear arms as well. Does that make bringing assault rifles to a health care debate justifiable? There are rights and then there's using your brain.
And AGAIN, I didn't see the South Park ep and could have been fine. I just didn't like where the Draw Mohammed Day thing might end up. Seems like an excuse for racist ignorant people to let loose.
