Are you suggesting that Obama bin Laden is typical of Islam? If so,

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.

If you failed. I placed the burden on you! (Note here I defeated my

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.
 

It seems to me that Ron D has been getting an undue amount of attention
for some time.  He obviously has a problem with reading not only what
others have written, but also in reading what he has written himself. We
are all getting bogged down with this unending drizzle.
