 And what about people for whom theism is their greatest motivator, such
as Obama bin Laden? Cynicism seems a rational response.
 

Are you suggesting that Obama bin Laden is typical of Islam? If so,
you're probably right.

 My apologies to Mark as I just Chez Watted this without realizing Mark had
originally posted Osama bin Laden and in Ron Dean’s reply Mark’s spelling
morphed to Obama bin Laden matching Ron Dean’s spelling. I wonder what that
indicates about Ron Dean…

 Even without the typo, Ron's reply shows that he is grossly bigoted against Arabs and Moslems. The typo suggests that Blacks and Democrats may be added to the list.
 

Here you are so unfair.  It's easy to make accusations and charges without even attempting to support them. This in and of itself demonstrates your extreme bias and hatred of anyone with a
point of view, opinion or belief different from yours.

 The support for your bigotry against Moslems is in your own post, and that bigotry in turn is support for a suggestion of further bigotry. I must admit that I had not considered the intervention of a spell-checker. I have never known a spell-checker, uninvited, to alter text that the user did not type himself.
 

I asked a question. "Are you suggesting that Osama bin Laden is typical of Islam? If so (if you confirmed) you are probably right". If you failed. I placed the burden on you! (Note here I defeated my spell-checker)

 Do you honestly not recognize the overt bigotry in what you just repeated? It is really extremely gross and unforgivable.

All the Muslims that I know (all highly educated women, at the moment) are perfectly decent people. All of them would be very insulted to be described as typical of Osama Ben Laden. None of them wear veils. A few years ago there was a student who did wear a veil, but that was only in her second when her husband came to join the institute. In her first year she didn't, and was perfectly happy to have her photo taken (by me) for a seminar series that my wife was organizing. She likewise had nothing in common with Osama Ben Laden.
