How can you argue with these people?

I heard recently that the 9/11 attacks were retaliation by Al-Qaeda for Nato's war against Muslims in Bosnia. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How can you argue with such ignorance and stupidity? Where can you begin to challenge the lack of discrimination, the willful disregard for motive and intent, the ability to mutate events into their antithesis?

Over and over again, I read in the BBC propaganda organ that I am the problem- I'm ignorant of islam, ignorant of how a picture of Mohammed is the worst of all crimes, ignorant of the day-to-day life of pakistani goatherds currently residing in Britain. That may be true, although I'm sure I know more about their way of life than they do about mine. But when you listen to the paranoic and biased islamists and their cheerleaders in Britain waffling on about the Zionist conspiracy, the CIA 9/11 conspiracy, the Koran-flushing Gitmo outrage, the Abu-Ghraib torture conspiracy and finally the Nato-war-on-Bosnian muslims conspiracy, you enter a lobotamised world.

I'm tired of the willful perversity of the media in calling us ignorant, while at the same time 'bigging' the muslims and trying to persuade us that all the knowledge and beauty in the world can somehow be traced back to the muslim world. Our knowledge, education, tolerance and breadth of experience is constantly belittled and underrated, while their pig-ignorance, intolerance and bad faith are elided.

The result is very large numbers of muslims inhabit a world-view where everybody hates the muslims and the only response is mass-murder, beheading, disgusting torture and a crazed attempt to take over the world; and nobody challenges it because we're so darned tolerant and understanding.

We need to get less tolerant and understanding of things that directly threaten our way of life, and the ammassed civilisation of many thousands of years.
