Sigh .....:(
I have this conservative cousin who tries to play the "moderate , tolerant , thinking Muslim" Shtick with me . When I post Cenks latest video on my facebook , I seem to have hit a nerve. I get this:

"Gays sucks, animals are far better creatures than them, excuse me gays for saying this, anyway.. if u can take a dick u can take anything"

needless to say , Another conservative relative I will have to severe all relationship with .

1. sorry that your cousin is an asshole
I haven't found too many Muslims who are moderate, tolerant, or thinking

they're worse than a lot of fundie Christians

Stooopid as others.

10. Meh, some religionists are fundies, some aren't.
It's probably fair to say that we're experiencing a heyday for fundie Islam, but in centuries previous, just the opposite was true. Remember, the Islamic world was producing great mathematicians when the Christian world was busy eradicating witches.

Saying that you've met a lot of intolerant Muslims does not in and of itself strike me as Islamophobic.
