Based on the first definition, I'd say a vast mojority of the people on this board are "bigots". Based on the second definition, I don't see anything in Mankie's stated opinions that qualifies him as a "bigot."
bigot: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

And you are the biggest user of the broad brush. It's just your bigotry and hatred is obviously targeted towards the British.
I have nothing against the British, you obviously completely missed the point (just like you missed picking up any knowledge from your travels). I was applying your exact attitude to a group you were familiar with, so you would understand how you come off. Didn't think I'd have to spell that out. :D
Anyway it's time to hopefully let this sorry thread die so that's my last word on the matter.
And I think
you missed
my point, I simply used your logic and spun it back at you, and hopefully you realized how stupid it was. You translated "I think the muslim way of life is fucked up" into "I want all muslims dead"
Maybe my knowledge learned while in these muslim counries brought me to the opnion that I think it's a fucked up way of life, and why is it that feeling that someones religion/beliefs/way of life is wrong makes someone a bigot/racist?
Incidently, have you spent any time visiting a muslim state?

I am more of a country fan myself, I would have to say the new album Tim McGraw released last month, a masterpiece.

It was free pizza day at work on Friday. They asked the employees what kind they wanted. The Afrikan American Moslem girl said, "No Pork." So everyone else got stuck with cheese only pizza. She should have said she didn't want any pizza. I felt like shoving a pepperoini slice down her gob so she could fry in Moslem hell. Just for that I'm gonna visit all Moslem gravesites in my neighborhood and shove a piece of raw bacon in the dirt above their heathen corpses just for making me deal with their daily crap. I think I'm going to carry a jar of Bacos with me wherever I go from now on.
Fucking Muslims!
i was going to abstain from responding, but this REALLY pissed me off. So, this girl (whether for religious reasons or any other f'ing reason she may have) decides she doesn't want pork on her pizza. I don't eat pork either. Its not really anyone's business why I don't eat it, but I don't. Why shouldn't I get a choice on what I want, even tho it might not be what you wanted? For all you know, I'm a vegetarian.
The company should just order 2 damn pizzas and be done with it.

From my experience with Muslims, I've found that, very generally speaking, there are two types. 1) The type that Mankie speaks of who believe that everyone outside of their beliefs should be destroyed. 2) Those who have chosen the Muslim way and respect all others as individuals who just think differently but deserve to be respected and treated as they wish themselves to be treated. Like any other group, the bad apples cast a bad shadow over the whole.
I know where you were going with this, and it's a respectable stance (especially on this board these days), however, I think you do the female gender a disservice by forgetting about the part of that second group you described that treat women as second class citizens compared to their male counterparts.
Even in Turkey (perhaps the most modern of Islamist countries), they are struggling to end Honor Killings (where men of the family are asked to kill female members of the family who are said to have dishonored the family by virtue of getting pregnant out of wedlock, wearing revealing clothing, or not agreeing to an arranged marraige). I don't think we can turn a blind eye to the women of Islam because we should respect others who wish to think differently.

I don't eat pork either…or any other kind of meat for that matter, so we just get one plain and one pepperoni pizza and everyone's happy. Quite simple really.
And while I'm at it, what's with this kosher nonesense? NEWSFLASH we don't have to eat off wooden bowls and there's this great new invention called dishwashing liquid these days. meat and dairy my arse!!!
Smackie…do you want all Turks dead? Just asking… ;)
