Completely different comparison. Or are you going to claim that only Chrisitans commit crimes?Originally posted by Javed Sardar:

If Christians were put in prison there would be no Christain criminals.

Are you suggesting it is okay, or somehow a lesser offense, to suggest that somebody is of limited intelligence because of the ethnic group they belong to, compared to suggesting that a subset of another group is malicious?
I'm just saying...it's right there!
Which is an absolutely true statement. So why is he offended by the also true statement that if Moslems were not permitted on airplanes that there would be few if any hijackings in the US?Originally posted by <ravish kumar>:
No, he is saying that if all christians are behind bar then no christian will commit crimes.

So? You got a problem with that? I am sure over at SadaamRanch they have their own rules about jokes.Originally posted by <slacker>:
Apparently Iraq/US jokes are allowed, but the joke has to be on Iraq.

Do you think that the following statement is also true?
If Catholic priests where not allowed to be in contact with kids there would be few if any child-abuse cases?
That would only be true if only Catholic priests were child molesters. But the vast majority of cases involving child molesting do not involve Catholic priests. (By the way, more cases of child molestation involve Protestant ministers than Catholic priests.) But we know that every plane hijacked in the US within the last 10 years was hijacked by a Moslem. Therefore if Moslems were not premitted on planes there would be no hijackings is a more reasonable statement.Originally posted by OMAR KHAN:

Can you replace muslim hijacker with someone else....
I can replace Bill Clinton with Musharaf OR L.K. Advani and this joke will still serve its purpose.

Are you saying that it is conjecture that the people responsible for destroying the World Trade Center were Moslem?Originally posted by Tom Hughes:

No. He is say that the Twin Towers might have crumbled for other reasons in the meantime, say an earthquake or any other accident.

But you missed the point. I never said that we should keep Moslems off of planes!!! I stated that it would be unfair to do that since the vast majority of Moslems are peaceful, law-abiding people. If you want to write jokes about Christians and "fraudulent" conversion, be my guest. Because this whole conversation is about a joke that someone found offensive.Originally posted by Pakka Desi:
However, it is very interesting to see how you changed your stance from what it was when I was saying there would be less problems in India if there were no fraudulent conversions.

If the joke is signed by George Wallace then it might even be humorous since it would be making fun of the ignorance of George Wallace. As far as hijackings to Cuba, we haven't had one in 30 years.Originally posted by Marcus Green:
Ever heard the expression "I have a gun, fly me to Cuba", was that generally uttered by those of the moslem faith? To me the butt was not Bill but a religion. What next, black men are sexually rapacious and lazy style jokes?.
